I am searching for a Friedrich Adler b. 1803 Mecklenburg-Strelitz Germany d. 28 June 1893 Pine Island, Minnesota USA He was married to a Johanna D. M. ?______(last name). b. 22 July 1806 in Pommern, Germany. d.2 Feb. 1869 in Pine Island, Minnesota. I have been unsuccessful in searching for the ship they sailed on to USA, and any information on them, before they emigrated. It has been rumored that they entered the USA by way of Texas in 1852. I have found nothing to support this rumor. They were Farmers by trade. I have no other information on this couple. Thank you for any help or suggestions you can give me in finding this couple!
