Today's work will be to find information about Wilhelm Vogts and Martha Henn.
They are my great-great-great grandparents. This is the first generation where I see a lot of information gaps. My guess is that they lived entirely in Europe and that their daughter Martha "Meta" Vogts.
Bolded information is the information that I have primary sources for.
Martha "Meta" Vogts:
Born 20 Dec 1870 in Mersum, Hanover Providence, Germany
Married: Adolph Martin Haertling on 5,3 Nov 1891 in New Wells, Cape Girardeau, Missouri (age 21)
Religion(s):
Death 14 Feb 1945 in New Wells, Cape Girardeau, Missouri (burial 17 Feb 1945, age 75)
Note from Grandma Meyr:
Martha Meta Vogts came to america with Welhelm Dickman and wife -her brothers
were Wilhelm-William and Henrick(Henry) had relatives names Kackma--Catherine
died of Tyfoid sister died young-This is in a letter of Wilhelm Dickman and
wife martha Henn.-This is a letter that Helen Meyr Brown has by a
relative--Talked of Schwing,Germany Marie (Vogts)Jergens-Wilhelm Bill Dickman
died 26 Nov 1837 Zu-Bullenzolz,Hanover Germany died 15 May 1924
of Influenza 86 yrs old left his wife and adopted daughter Martha Haertling
Ordinances: all complete except for sealing to parents (not enough information)
My plan to research her parents will go through Meta. I'll research her as much as possible to help get across the pond and research her life there. Surely surrounding information will illuminate the family members she was around there.
Who is the polleymary1 contributor who contributed to Adolph Martin Haertling (Meta's wife) on 31 Aug 2008? And who is unknown4470317 who contributed to Meta's file?
Who is Welhelm Dickman and why did Meta come to America with his family and his wife's brothers.
Can I get a copy of the Helen Meyr Brown's letter?
Was Meta adopted by Welhelm Dickman? The letter seems to say that.
--I should collaborate with Granny Meyr in this research, it's only natural.--

Likely marriage license (with Martin Ha**l**g), so Adolph possibly went by Martin
