Surnames: Gerken Mangels Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/SMB.2ACI/1332 Message Board Post: In our family Bible, we have a Marin Gerken listed as born in Germany in 1809 and died in Missouri 28 Jan 1892. He married Sophie Mangels who died in 1910. I have found a Martin Gerken who came over and settled in the Cole Camp settlement, but his spouse and place of death don't match up. Does anyone else have another Martin Gerken who came to Missouri? He had three children, Sophie, Ada and Margret or Margaret. A response here, or e-mail me at Roger.Rudd@comcast.net Thanks
