Conversion Story:
So all I could find on this couples conversion comes from the profile on Familysearch from their daughter Johanna Catherina Maria Germer. In her life history it states:
According to other sources, the 1851 German translation of the Book of Mormon cause a stir in the Hamburg area. Johann and his wife Maria were ready to listen to Elder Riser and Elder Garn when they arrived from England. Johann and Maria were baptized on February 5, 1854 and daughter Maria was later baptized on May 1, 1854. Mother Maria and the girls would take food to the missionaries while they were jailed. The rest of the family was baptized before they left for the United States.
