My great grandfather, Johan Heinrich Christian Carl Meyer, lived in Bloomfield Township in 1900. They were there on the 1900 census. They moved from Clayton County, IA. His oldest daughter, Minna Dorothe Elisabeth Meyer married Christian John Schlie who was from Winneshek Co. on May 8, 1899. Christian's daughter from his previous marriage, Alma, was married to Fred Henry Koenig from Castilia on January 17, 1917. Our Meyer family is from Eldena, Mecklenburg, Germany. Many people of German decent are from this area in Germany. The church books in this area are recorded by the LDS church.
