Koehler's from Koenigsberg 1800's

Am also looking for information on the Koehler family, in particular on Henrietta Koehler. Henrietta married Gerhard S. Friesen on July 23, 1890 in Langdon, Cavelier County, North Dakota. The birth certificate of their son Aron "Ernie" Friesen indicates Henrietta was born in Ostrede, Germany. Henrietta's baptismal certificate, however, states she was born simply in Wischniewo.
The Gerhard S. Friesen family Bible records the death of Henrietta's mother Mary nee Wolf as "1916 on 25 January is my wife’s mother, Maria Koehler born Wolf dead at 80 years, 4 months old."
Henrietta and Gerhard had 10 children, 8 of whom survived to adulthood. Am requesting further information on the Koehlers to add into a book being written on the Gerhard S. Friesen family.
