Preston,
My great grandmother's name was Ernestine Sophia BODE; she was christened at Eisenberg, WEST PHALEN in PRUSSIA on Nov 7 1949.
Her parents were:Christine Wilhemine PAPE&Carl Friedrich BODE
Ernestine also had at least two brothers: Heinrich Friedrich Wilhelm BODE(1844)
and Heinrich Wilhelm BODE (1842) of Eisenberg also.Heinrich Wilhelm married
Caroline BRANDHANS.
Please let me know if there are any connection.All I know is that Ernestine had a half-sister named Elisabetha and with her biological mother, they (3 of them) immigrated to Montreal, Canada,North America on July 3 1853 on the Mary Michison ship. Unfortunately, Christine abandoned the two girls and as a result, the girls were placed in an orphanage in Quebec,
