Have looked for your surname in British archives under Mayer, Meyer, Meier:
Searched British archives up to 1750 (in case there was a war pension)
http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/catalogue/search.asp
MEYER -several mentions of Meyer surname in English court cases in 1700's plus references to Prussia in the State Papers
1704 Sep 01-1704 Sep 30
To Marlborough from Count Wratislav: Baron Meyer, formerly the elector's minister in England has arrived, representing the electress of Bavaria. Wratislav has told him that the terms previously offered are no longer available, and he has returned to report to the electress. Wratislav awaits his return. ff. 151, 152
-------
MAYER - several mentions, a couple under ref SP (state papers) mentions Russia.
------
MEIER - no reference to Germans/Prussians/Hessians
----
You should have copied and pasted 'Niedersachsen' - it's easier to spell that say. 'sachsen' means northern Germany 'saxon' - as in Anglo Saxon means English Saxon.
I have no knowledge of early Eastern Germany or Hessians/Palatines. Although some Americans on the rootsweb hannover-l email list mention their researches every so often.
Cheers,
Rena

Hi Rena:
This is an excerpt on the May family that Phyllis sent me:
I. PETER 1 MAY was born in Germany. He married Dorita.
Notes for PETER MAY:
The NY Emigrant family was Peter May and his wife and 4 children on Capt. Johan Ranneld's ship in the 3rd party in Holland in 1709. ( Rotterdam lists) On the ships roll he is listed next to Reysdorff and family. Johann Peter was probably from Niederhausen, Germany. Johann Peter made his first appearance on the Hunter lists 4 Aug l710 with 2 pers over 10 yrs of age and 3 pers. under 10 yrs of age. The family showed 3 over 10 and 3 under 10 31Dec1710, 3 pers over 10 and 2 under 10 on Mar 25, 1711, and 2 pers over 10 and 2 under 10 29Dec1711. The 25 Mar 1712 entry went down to lover 10 and 2 under 10, and then returned to 2 over 10 and 2 under 10 on 24Junl712.
Peter was naturalized on 8&9Sep1715 (Kingston Flats) Peter Mayen's widow was noted with 3 children at Hunterston ca. 1716/1717 ( Simmendinger Register) .Doritee Mayen was a Palatine debtor in 1718 and 1721 (Livingston Debt Lists).
The Dalsheim registers, which begin in 1692 for Ref. and 1706 for Lutheran, call the w/o Johann Peter May, Magdalena.
I believe some of this info was extracted from a book written by Jones. If anyone on the list wants more infomation on Jones, will look up his whole name & where to order etc. It is obvious that considerable info exists in the U.S. on these early immigrants. Jones' work on the Irish Palatines is quite well done.

Hi Ann,
Sorry, but I only spotted one emigrant (auswanderer) record for a Wilhelmine Becker born 1846. There was another record for a "Mina Becker" under 14 yrs old who travelled with a Becker family 1865 but not knowing anything about your research I couldn't say if she was one of yours.
As you have a 1920 address for her father Fritz Becker this could be in the parish (Gemeinde) where Wilhelmina was baptised. I suggest you look on the www.familysearch.org website in the "Library" section and enter the town as the search criteria. Hopefully, this should bring up a film of the parish church (Gemeindekirche) records in the time span you require. If you don't know where to view the film - the website also gives a list of places near you which have facilities.
Hope this helps.
Rena
