Caroline Fredicker was a native of Pfalz Bayern. She was the daughter of JOANNES HENRICUS VOELKER and ANNA MARIA FLEISCHBEIN. Born about 1822 she was the youngest of at least 3 children. At the age of 16 she braved a crossing of the Atlantic with her family on August 6th 1839. I have their paper of travel. It's a Reise-Pass from Bayern for travel to Nord America. It says Caroline came here with her father Voelker and two other children. Phillipina Voelker and the other name is not legible. It says they landed in Havre de Grace. Once here would guess they traveled west by steamboat. Baltimore was a port town with steamboats going to locations all over America. I can only guess at why their destination was the Midwest. Anne had relatives in New Orleans and in Belleville Illinois. They were doing well and may have contacted the family and told them to come to America. As for her father's side I have not found any relitives living in the midwest at that time.
