Hello List, I'm researching my MEINKING ancestors from Mehlbergen/Nienburg on the Weser River in Niedersachsen. They immigrated to Cincinnati, OHio, but I noticed the 1930 census has a number of MEINKINGs living in Mason County. I'm wondering if any of these MEINKINGs were also from Mehlbergen and somehow related to the MEINKINGs in Cincinnati?? There is a new MEINKING surname Message Board online at rootsweb/ancestry: _http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec?htx=board&r=rw&p=surnames.meinking_ (_http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec?htx=board&r=rw&p=surnames.meinking_ (http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec?htx=board&r=rw&p=surnames.meinking) ) where I've posted my names of interest. I'd appreciate if any MEINKING descendants from Mason Co. would have information about this family to share on the board or with me personally. Thanks so much! Marilyn in Ohio
