I have no specific information, but we may be looking in the same direction. My gr-grandmother was Meta Marie Paulsen b in Schlesvig-Holstein in Mar 1877.On her daughters death certificate, my gr-grandmothes name is listed as Marie Rahn.No one in the family had ever heard the Rahn name.My speculation was that perhaps my gr-gr-grandmother was named Rahn.
Meta Marie Paulsen came along with at least one brother, Peter, to northeastern Iowa (Hampton) in about 1893.
I am pursuing my Paulsen family in Schlesvig-Holstein, and will be on the lookout for Rahn in the area.
