Genealogie Familiennahme Grote, Naefke, und Ahrens zum Bleckede und kirche aus Greene county Iowa

My genealogy information to share with you today is taken from the register of Early Members of Christ Lutheran church of Greene county, Iowa. At the time of these early settling Ancestors the earliest church  was called the St Peters church.

I felt I had to share these record because I had an inquiry about the Grote family involved with our William Meyer [my first male Meyer born Oldendorf] son of Juergen Hch. Wilhelm Meyer born 1843 at Eichdorf, Luneburg, Niedersachen.

I had included the information at Ancestry from the Meyer book information which Verl Matthews sports in his Ancestry work at Ancestry.com. I now have decided it is about time to resubmit the copies of the St. Peters church records that I have had tucked away in a box. I dug them out tonight and so you can see it.  I will check at a later date to see what needs to be updated according to new findings.
I did receive notice from Mark Kuhlmann after he received a chart and information from the Hagemann family member near Barskamp.  I will submit his information here later and maybe link to a blog page with that information.

It is alittle bit unusual that both children would have same date of birth, but each with a different year of birth. Could it be a mistake? 
* Note: Cathatine must be Catharine.

By the way Jurgen Heinrich Friedrich Meyer origination location was said to be Oldendorf Amt. Bleckede Prov. Hannover and wife Maria Dorotheea Margarethe Schenk from Bleckede Prov. I have not found her origination village as of yet.
