Thanks for help.
I have decided that the 1870 census for jackson county holds my
meyer....listed as fritz maier. I am not sure why he did not stay in
Galena Illnois. Perhaps some of the others moved with him. Perhaps to
clinto county. Lots of Fehrings there and some related to Fehrings
moved to jackson county. so more research.
I have not let go of the hunch some people from dahlenburg and
tosterglope area as well as bleckede and gohrde area could be at
Houston, Mn. Those of Grosss Thondorf… Perhaps something will
turn up with Information that will give me a lead. I will check into
something sooner or later.Just wanted you to know as I wander off
searching a bit. Especially imigration lists and census, cemeteries,
birth and death records. I am going to try hard to find more relatives
at Aida. Juergen hch. wilhelm has not been found there yet. he
arrived april 8, 1884 to new york.
About the steve morse site. It is very good site. really. awhile back
i wrote him about my problem that there were errors in Bark Victoria
1892 Passenger list . Somehow he was able to give me the real one. I
have since used castle gardens and ellis island. And one never knows
how the name will be spelled or interpreted. Four different ways of
Meyer for my Fred in census.
I may find some saucke or schroeder there and michel. I know some
lived at plainview or plainfield by wabasha
