(Margaret "Anna" Kroeger Schlotfeldt, wife of Henry F.) Magdalena's parents were Hans Kroeger who came from Preetz,S-H, Germany with wife Dorothe Margareta "Dora" Kroeger and their 8 children on the bark Harriet 9 June 1847 out of Hamburg. Hans died shortly after arriving (or maybe on ship) we figure. Dora remarried Henry C.F. Blocker, Feb. 2, 1848 in Davenport. and had 2 daughters, Julia and Maria. We don't know where Hans is buried, and don't know his parents names at this point. If you find them we would like to know. Fay
