Looking for family members Nikolaus Öelcker (1803-1876) and Anna Christina Schmülts (1813-1883) from Hanover, Germany.
They had at least eight children:
Henrich Johann Öelcker (1840-?)
Dorothea Maria Öelcker (1844-?)
August Johann Öelker (1849-1912) - the C in the name Öelcker apparently was dropped when August came to the United States.
Emma Maria Öelcker
Elisa Friedericka Öelcker
Sophia Christina Öelcker
Eiba Nikolaus Öelcker
Friedericka Meta Öelcker
August was my great grandfather. His petition for naturalization shows his name as John A. Öelker.
Would like to connect!
