Hi all, I am also researching the BLOCKER name and are as follow; Anna Margaretha BLOCKER, m Andreas WELKER, possibly from the WARWEROTH area SH. They probably had many children, like good Dans/Germans that they are and one of them was a, Anna Katherina WELKER, b; 04 Mar 1826, Warweroth, SH. Other sibling to this family are unknown. Any information or leads to my ancestors or other Members from this area will also be gratefully received.
