Found a birth record for Maria Luise Hendrich with same birthdate and location as other documentation I have.  So making assumption that this is our Louisa since I also have a document with her name as Mary Louise Hendrick and name have been   known to change through the years and with immigration.

These records were later confirmed by a descendant of her sister Lily who made a trip to Tottleben and found the entries from old church records.

All family information related to this record with the exception of her birthdate and birthplace came from an IGI record on Familysearch.com

Louisa was sickly and was sent to Colorado to live with her sister.  They used to ride the horses really fast although they weren't supposed to do it. She taught school and piano in Colorado.
