My Great, Great, Great Grandparents are Johann Heinrich PLUMER and Maria Martha Henrietta GELTHAUS. Johann Heinrich Plumer (01 October 1795 - 02 April 1883), was born in Tchobrink ( Aschen ), Kingdom of Hanover, Germany. Johann Heinrich PLUMER and Maria Martha Henrietta GELTHAUS & family emigrated to California, Moniteau county, Missouri in the 1840s, then moved to Oak Township, Mills County, Iowa in 1851. Mills County IA is just south of the Omaha, NE/Council Bluffs, IA metropolitan area. Their 6 children were born in Germany between 1823 and 1838. Information on them and their descendents is available on http://plumersettlement.org/. I am interested in contacting anyone who has these surnames in the mid-1800s in the US or Germany. For those interested in genographic data, a female offspring of Ms. Gelthaus is Haplotype K. Thank You. Carolyn Beno Scottsdale AZ
