Roadbloack: Need Parents for Kunigunde Bickel

Question

Roadblock: I need to find Kunigunde Bickel's parents. She came from Germany but I don't where (should be close to Urspringen, or Karlstadt, Germany) and she came to the US, perhaps landing in Ohio initially. She came to the states separately from her future husband Emil Schürger .
