This page is part of a collection of pages offering carefully edited information about emigrants from the central German village of Wunderthausen and its environs to America.

The following files were compiled by Paul Riedesel from numerous sources about emigrants with the name Mörchen (usually became Merchen in this country). They include ancestry reports, descendant reports, occasionally photos and other documents, and modern pictures of the emigrants’ original homes in Wunderthausen–insofar as I know them. Descendant reports are limited to only one or two generations for reasons of privacy. The files refer to the following (their birth year is shown):

• • Amalia Mörchen ‘1856
  • Anna Maria Mörchen ‘1737
  • Elisabeth Mörchen ‘1849
  • Elisabeth Amalia Mörchen ‘1809
