I will try to do some more checking. I am not familiar with researching in the Mecklenburg area. I almost think this Louis born 1838 could not be mine. After all. But I know so little about cousins etc of my family to say. I was looking for a brother to William and Friedrich, who both have name Jurgen Heinrich in first two names.

William and family settled at Lohrville, Calhoun county in 1884 and four years after. They were members of st peters church at Farnhamville settlement area. The Meyer family pretty much stayed in Iowa and children moved around. Some Luhmann also came to this area. Some Luhmann went to Ottertail, Mn and to Cass county,Nebraska I have found nothing on the Oregon brother. No Records whatsoever. I have not yet found his sisters. I have more precise records if wanted by anyone. Hope this family could be yours.??? _________________________________________________________________ Connect to the next generation of MSN Messenger  http://imagine-msn.com/messenger/launch80/default.aspx?locale=en-us&source=wlmailtagline
