Brinkmann family origin

Gustrow, Mecklenberg, Germany
Description:
The ancestral home of the Brinkmann family. My gg grandmother, Johanna Brinkmann, emigrated with her mother (Anna) and her brothers (William and Frederick) in 154 when she was 22 years old.
Johanna married Carl Bluhm in Michigan City, IN 1856. It's said they were the first German couple married in the city.
There are several cities (some closer to where the Bluhm's are from) that have a similar name, particularly Gulzow. Still working on confirming which one it is.
