Perhaps we should start today with Maria Dorothea (Heins) Meyer.
vater: Johann Heinrich Heins
Mutter: Anna Maria Hencke
It is best to start with church documents to verify the birth. I believe these below came from Dahlenburg and Nahrendorf archives.

GENprofi Familienforschung_________________________________
We Know that Maria Dorothea Heins died in Iowa. She was buried beside her husband, Juergen Heinrich Wilhelm Meyer.
According to the Meyer Book, she had a brother Heinrich Heinz or Heins. The Meyer book liked to call her Heinz. The church book of St. Peters [at area of Farnhamville, Calhoun county in Iowa] called her Heins.
Later after receiving the above document, I submitted another question to the Nahrendorf Church volunter researcher of the archives. After this, I received another letter, which stated that the information about Catherine Heins [mentioned above,] was a mistake. I can't help but wonder whose family she really does belong. Someday, I hope I can find that out.
