Nancy,

  I came across this website.
http://www.mönckemeyer.de/kontakt.htm

 You could write the Mönkemeyer there. Nothing to lose!

Here's another:
  http://db.genealogy.net/vereine/daten_form.php    enter the name of
Mönkemeyer

Another:  http://db.genealogy.net/vereine/daten_search.php
    
Not terribly helpful there....

> I am trying to locate the hometown of Heinrich Zimmermann and his wife
> Wilhelmina Monkemeyer and their family which left from Bremen on the ship Bark
> Elsie for the United States in 1857 with three children,  Heinrich age 8,
> Wilhelmina age 6 and Friedrich age 2 years, arriving in New York on May 7,

> Heinrich was born was born on September 14, 1812 in Hannover, Germany.
> Wilhemina was born on April 3, 1822.
> 
> I have found several different spellings of Wilhelmina's maiden name.  I

> the last two surving children were born in Wisconsin.
> 
> On Heinrich's declaration of intent to become a citizen he relinquished his
> citizenship of the Kingdom of Hannover.
> 
> Other Monkemeyers that I have found list Brille, Reilefzen or Polle as their

> These were my husband's great grand parents.
