To answer your questions - they are the parents of one of my husband's ancestors - Anna Elizabeth Grieshammer Gellermann. Anna Elizabeth was his ggg grandmother. Their names were on her death certificate, and appear as well on church records as witnesses to baptisms of Anna Elizabeth's children. Prior to moving to Iowa, the Gellermann family resided in Illinois, to the best of my knowledge, the Grieshammer family lived at or near Grafton, Worth County, Iowa, as did the other two known daughters. To the best of my knowledge, they had the following children: Anna Elizabeth Grieshammer Gellermann (she was born in 1845 - she married in 1864) Mary Margaretha Grieshammer Urbatsch (she was born in 1843 - she married in 1868) Catharina Margaretha Grieshammer Trettin (she was born in 1855 - date of marriage unknown) Date of emigration/immigration for these two ancestors is unknown. I surmise it was in the 1860's as that is when Anna Elizabeth emigrated. Prior to that they lived in Bavaria. Unfortunately, that is all the information that I have on these two ancestors. I trust this helps a little bit.
