Research
No direct evidence has been found for Peter's birth location, though his son Johann's marriage record[1] indicates that he was born in the Mecklenburg/Schwerin area of Germany.
He was married in Bernitt, Mecklenburg-Schwerin, Deutschland which is between Schwerin and Rostock in Germany, so he was more than likely born there or nearby.[2]
There is also ongoing research via the Thielke Surname Study to try to connect Peter and his line to the Carl Thielke line that settled just a few miles to the north in Manitowoc County, Wisconsin. Peter's family settled south of there in Ozaukee County, Wisconsin.
