Surnames: Beiersdorf, Holznagel Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/2FC.2ACI/1494.1.1.1 Message Board Post: Unfortunately, I have NO dates on Johanna. I got her name from the marriage certificate of her daughter Matilda Beiersdorf. Matilda was born June 17,1864, Which would make her about the same age as the Johanna you are looking for. Matilda's OBIT states that she came to america when she was 18 (From POMMERN, GERMANY) I'm pretty sure she came with relatives, BUT NOT HER PARENTS!! Maybe an uncle and his family. So, I don't think there is a connection, but will keep your info., If I find something, I'll let you know. Maybe I will find a connection in Germany , Someday.
