Hello everyone, yes I think it's a good idea to provide documentation. The above Anna Fendler, I do not think she is my Anna. I should have been more careful in my initial response 
I really appreciate the energy and efforts!
The immigration record from the arrival port at Baltimore that has matching information to the below (DOB 1843 and from Germany) calls her Anna Fandelar.
In Baltimore Anna married Franz Zylicz and they had a son Franz in 1865. The family then moves to Franklin Louisiana.
All of the available US census reports say she was born in Germany or Prussia and in 1843.
A newspaper article regarding a court case names her as Anna P Fondelar, wife of Franz Zylicz (this is the only middle initial that I have noticed, so a good clue if accurate).
Anna's gravestone says:
Anna Fondlar
Born in Hamburg Germany Oct 22, 1843
Died January 7, 1914
Beloved wife of Frank Zylicz
Her death certificate (signed by her son) also backs up this information with the same DOB and DOD, and says she was born in Germany - but does not have her maiden name.
Her death announcement with the same DOB and DOD calls her Anna Fouteleroy Zyclicz.
My goal is to establish her in Germany, and then find her parents and other family. It has been difficult with the changing of her name when she arrived in Baltimore - I presume that is what happened. That the American officials heard her German surname and phoenetically changed it to how it sounded. This is how I arrived at Wendler as her possible last name but I am open to all suggestions
