I have recently found records for my EHLERS ancestors in the
Giekau parish records while in Schleswig-Holstein. Giekau is
southeast of Kiel.
Anyone have connection to this family?
They are:
Friederich Wilhelm EHLERS;
Born 8 Mar. 1798 in Hohenfelde; son of Hans Hinrich EHLERS and Catharina Dorothea KAY; d. 27 Aug. 1857 in Schwarzbuch(now called Schwartbuck);
Married Magaretha Dorothea ROBI on 18 Nov. 1830; She was born 15 Nov. 1802 in Emkendorf, daughter of Claus Hinrich ROBI and Anna WULF, d. 11 Sept. 1875 in Hohenfelde.
Children:
Anna Catharina , b. Abt. 1832; m. Wilhelm Schröder of Lütjenburg.
my ancestor: Johanna , b. 24 Dec. 1832 in Hohenfelde, m. Claus Hinrich Bünz on 18 Nov. 1862.
The following children all had emigrated to the U.S.A. by 1875
Claus Hinrich, b. Abt. 1835
Henrietta Augusta, b. Abt. 1837, m. Hinrich Mundt in America
Hermann Friedrich Wilhelm, b. Abt. 1841
