Can anyone access this information on MyHeritage website to confirm or add her parents and siblings. I would be also happy if someone could provide the source for the information. I do not have a subscription to this so cannot access directly myself. Thank you.

Siblings: Catharina Meyer 1, Anna Margaretha Meyer 1, Johann Christian Meyer 1, Peter Meyer 1

Of the 77 my heritage smart matches, only 4 include these parents. None of them list a primary source. The family search profile shows a different mother. Again, no source listed. I continue to search.

The family search profile shows the father dying in 1781, 6 years before she was born, so that one is unlikely. So more likely the parents shown in the My Heritage sites. I continue to search.

I found a source for a Maria Meier born Apr 27, 1787 in Groß Sittensen, Hannover, Preußen, Germany, with a father Johann and a mother Anna Katharina. However our Maria Meier was born Nov 27 1787. It is possible that there might be an error in birth date, but that is not clear. Here is the source: https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:N8Q2-RMH?lang=en
What are your thoughts?

Thanks so much for your reply Rosella and for looking into this. I looked at the family search records you referenced, including the original microfilm copies and I do not think there was an error in Maria's (GMOL #266277) birthdate. The Maria born Apr 27, 1787 died on Oct 15, 1795 in Marschort, Germany and so could not have married Kauenhowen. Meier seems to have been a very common surname at that time. I will keep looking for answers in the records. Grandma says something about her being a "French woman" so I may need to be looking into Switzerland or France for family information.
