I am related to a Friedrich Kuhlow from Mecklenburg who was born in 1819 and immigrated to Detorit sometime after 1860.
I have info on his family. He married a Minnie Voigt also of Mecklenburg. They had daughters Henrietta, Mina, and Augusta that we know of. I know there was a Kuhlow Hotel in Bay City and several Kuhlows listed as living there in the 1880 census.
Feel free to e-mail me with any of your findings.
