Her marriage record has her birth year as 1829, but other records place it as 1834. Either she wanted to be older for her marriage, or she wanted to be younger as she aged? Birthplace from son's marriage record. Note possible alternate parents below.
Arrived with her husband and his brother Christian Michaelis.
Four youngest children were born in Klein Tromnau. The older children were all born in Halbersdorf. Klein Tromnau was where religious records were kept, so the all children might all have been born in Halbersdorf.
If using the 1828-1829 birth year given in her marriage record, then perhaps the daughter born to Adam Brandt and Anna Barbara Geikowski on 23 Oct 1828... But, this doesn't mesh with her death record.
Another option for Luisa's parents might be Simon Brand and Eva Brock, with birth year of 1832 in Klein Gilwe. Had a daughter named "Eva," too. Simon was Eduard Brand's brother.
Immigrant ship "America." Settled in Chicago, Illinois, near family.
Buried in Oak Woods Cemetery; her death certificate states she was 66 years and 7 months at her time of death, or 9 May 1834. Died from "Consumption" (TB)
