Emigration: December 24, 1840 barque Iris, New Orleans, LA

I'm not related that much to the Gehlken's but have data for most of the German families in Benton-Morgan-Pettis Counties, and am 90% certain all Gehlken's in that area descend from Heinrich & Becke (Blohm) Gehlken who came to USA 1840 and settled Morgan County, Missouri.
