Good Luck, Cindy

Cindy, Have you ever encountered an Anna Marie THELEN who married a George MICHELS? George 1st settled in Belgium, Ozaukee County, WI,, them moved to the Thiensville/Mequon area, not far from Grafton. I am trying to find out who Anna Marie's parents were. I do not know when or where she and George married...but George immigrated to the US Baltimore in 1840. His Naturalization says: August 16, 1840 (Actual Ship Record says Aug 19, 1840)...could be he came in to Port on that day but they sat in the harbor or were processed on another day--anyway, he arrived without a wife or children.--I think there were only 22 passengers total. I have their 1st child as: Elizabetha Michels born February 04, 1834 in Prussia, Germany (??). Elizabeth married Heinrich Jonen of Lommersum, Rheinland, Prussia. Anna Marie MICHELS (nee THELEN), Elizabeth JONEN (nee MICHELS) and Henry JONEN are all buried at St. Martin's Cemetery, Milwaukee, Wisconsin in what was Granville, Milwaukee County, Wisconsin. If you have any information which ties these families together (Nickolas THELEN) and Anna Marie THELEN), I'm searching for the missing puzzle piece.
