After I got to know that the brothers of my great-grandmother emigrated to the USA I tried to find them at ancestry. I did't had much hope for Meyer is a very common name. But I found Gustav for I had the name of his wife and her parents, too, and since then I am in contact with descendants of Gustav's son Heinrich and of his daughter Theresa.
