Heinrich C. Meyer was born August 1, 1819 in Hamburg, Germany. This information was given to me in a "book" at a family reunion in Postville about 30 years ago. There was also a xeroxed photo of "Henry" and his wife Meta. There was a little more information on Meta which sounds promising based on her sister... Meta was born April 6, 1827 in Hannover, Germany, to Catharina Margarethe Kregel and Carsten Friedrih Heins. Meta had an older sister, Catharina Margarethe (perhaps the one you mentioned who married a Meyer of the Koellingin area?) and 3 younger siblings; John Heinrich, Fred "Fritz" and Herman. Do you have additional information on your Heinrich Meyer; when do you believe he arrived in Iowa (my Henry arrived in 1842)? I'd be glad to share descendant information but don't know if we can't confirm any connection based on the little ancestor information I have at this time. Let ! me know - looking forward to your reply.
