Hi Laura, > I have an ancestor (my g-g-grandmother) who was a Rehbein. Her name was > Amelia or Amalia, and she was born March 26, 1837. She married Michael > Schendel, a widower, in about 1856, probably around the area of Schubin or > Schonlanke, Posen. They emigrated to the US in 1857. Does she fit anywhere > in your family records? No, I'm afraid she does not. Most of my Rehbein ancestors come from a small village called Zippnow, West Prussia, and as far as I know, there was quite some emigration from there to the US in the 19th century. Posen is not too far from Zippnow - maybe Amalia is a far relative. Got any birth or parent data on her? Chris
