I am interested in the Meyer's from Iowa. What part of Germany did your Meyer's come from? I am looking for family of my great grandfather, KARL J.(Johan) MEYER b. December 31, 1838 in Mecklenburg(Germany); died July 21, 1912 in Clayton County, IA. He went by many variations of the above name. In the 1880 census he is listed as Chas. Meyer. Around 1890 the spelling of Meyer changed to Meier. He was buried as Carl Meier. He was married to Elisabeth Wille around 1875. They had 11 children born in Clayton County and Allamakee County, IA between 1875 and 1894 . These are the two very Northeast counties in Iowa along the Mississippi River. I would love to hear from anyone who might have some information. We are up against a brick wall. Marlene South Dakota
