I'm looking for information about my great-great grandma: Margaretha "Marie" Wiebke Kohrs Rohdenburg, born April 1855. Her last name changed in the USA to spell Rodenberg. I know she was related somehow to the Kohrs listed here. She and Nicholaus immigrated with 6 children, to settle in Davenport. They had a total of 11 children, eventually.
Thank you for your website and help you can provide, especially any European roots information, etc.!
