I am researching my Great Great Grandparents who were both born in Oldenburg Germany.
Henry Steenken
b 3/4/1830 in Sandhatten
Caroline Anna Dorothea Albers
b 1/21/1835 in Hatten
They were married in November 23, 1854-where?
They both died in Charleston, South Carolina
I have searched for years to find when and where they came to America with no luck. There was a write up about Henry being in Charleston about 1849. But have no proof.
If anyone who has relatives buried in Charleston might know of a connection please let me know. I have the book Bethany Cemetery where most of the Germans were buried...
