Hi Leslie, For a moment I thought we had a connection. My husbands grandparents came from Prussia, The Church records state Johann Lorenz Born in Pomern 9-29-1801.Twenty on years ago the deceased buried his wife in Germany and came to America with his son Johann. On Sunday November 23,1880 at 7a.m. he died at the age of 79 years 1 month and 14 days. J.G. Fetzer, Pastor. His son Johann married Minnie Meyers first then Sophia Wendt(my husbands ggrandmother)They settled in Wyandotte Michigan.I found the records for St Johns Church last summer but I haven't foud anyone connected in Prussia. Do you know what the area is called today?Johann (the son)was born August 1831 in Prussia and died June 1906 in Wyandotte Mi.Sure wish I could connect someway.
Gussie
