I am doing a reasearch for my friend, John Snyder whose g grandmother is Sophia Caroline DAHLING, born June 17 1862 Sherrills Mound, Dubuque Co., Iowa U.S.A.

Her parents were both born in MECK whichi I am assuming was Mecklenburg, Germany.

Sophia married William Herman Whittnebeen, changed to Whittenbeen later. They had 4 children, born in Iowa then they moved to Pipestone, Minnesota where 3 more children were born.

Can anybody connect to this DAHLING family?

Thanks, Donna
