Unfortunionally I have no ancestors to Christian Aufderheide so far. All we know about his
European life is that he was a stonemason. His wife, Meta Meyer, was the daughter of
casket maker Luther Meyer from Hanover, Germany. Both Christian and Meta had lost their
first spouses before coming to the USA. It is not known whether they married in Europe or
the USA. The Aufderheide's first settled in Brooklyn, N.Y. Their first six children
were born in Brooklyn, N.Y. The family then moved to Ottawa County, Ohio where they raised
their family on a farm.
