I have traced the Alberts to Meyer to Meyers family name back to 1764
to Upleward, Emden, Germany (Siebe Alberts).
I have traced the Meyers family name back to 1764 to Upleward, Emden,
Germany. Siebe Alberts was born around 1764 and died 9-4-1814.
Alberts eventually became Meyer then Meyers. My brother had his DNA
tested and it was 1/3 Wales (not German). I'm guessing the Alberts
family migrated from England at some point. I'm trying to trace roots to
England.
Looking for F. Bruns and/or M. R. Demale

I am looking for Aurstriesland, Germany...can't find it, could you help
I would like to get in touch with anyone who is familiar with Wittmund or
who can communicate in German with the history center in that town.
My ancestors are Bernard Helms b.19 Nov 1817 and Catherine G. Janssen
B. 18 JAN 1823. They immigrated to the US in 1852 with two children. I
cannot find them in records in Wittmund.
Ancestry.com recently posted a list of WWI Casualty List, 1914-1917. In
this list was Dirk Hasseler- 16. 9. Kl Remels, Leer - suffered wound.
My Hasseler family is from Kl Remels and my 2nd great grandfather is
Dirk Focken Hasseler, born 17 May 1833. He was married twice. It is
possible the Dirk wounded in WWI is related to him.

Any ideas on how to get more information on the wounded soldier?
Any Wyckoffs here whose ancestor arrived in America from Ostfriesland
after 1637?
I am looking for information regarding my grandfather, Tjark Franken. I
am trying to pinpoint the exact area in which he was raised. I have been
told Emden and also Aurich. He was the oldest of 5 boys and the only
one who immigrated in about 1929. Any information is appreciated!
Answer to "Sweer Jurgens":
Family-names have been introduced in Ostfriesland first by Napoleon
and got compulsory under the rule of Hannover in 1874. „Jurgen“ (u with
two dots) is a common first name in Germany. Before family names had
been introduced, the name “Sweer Jurgens“ told that Sweer is the son of
Jurgen (Jurgen’s son); his eldest son would have been named “Jurgen
Sweers” (son of Sweer). – But this was not a fixed rule!!! Later on the
sons often got the first name of their father as second Christian name –
with an additional “s”. In my book “Ostfriesland verstehen” you can find
more about naming (in German language).
I am tryibng to find out where Einwalder Hannover was located- does it
exist today- I have just found out that my ggg grandparents Hiram (Harm)
Dirks Buss and his wife Tetje' Hedden Buss were married there Feb. 9,
1834- I am needing any and all info - I have been looking for this info
(name of village) for 20 years and have now hopefully found a missing
link to my family:)

I would like to know what information is available for Emden. The records
of a family line in Leeuwarden, Netherlands indicate that they were born
in Emden in the 1795 and 1798. I've heard the Emden records may have
been destroyed in WWII. Can you direct me? Thanks.
I am looking for information regarding one of my ancestors that
supposedly was a guard for Kaiser Wilhelm II. He was a Meyer, but I am
unsure of which one. The one I have been searching for information from
the web on was Johann (Jann) Lammerts Meyer born in 1836 in
Strackhold Ostfriesland Germany, my grandmother's grandfather. It
could be one of his relatives instead, I'm not sure. His father was (if my
information is right) Lammert Lammers Meyer Jr. Any information would
be helpful as I've been wondering about this for years! Thanks, Heidi

home (at the time of his birth in 1902) which was across the road from
the school he attended. He had a brother named Albrecht van Rueschen
from Westerstede. He died in 2011. He was quite a bit younger than
George and did not recall much information about him. If you have any

came to the U.S. in 1866.
I have a book written in German that I cannot translate. It has symbols

Any help would be greatful.

My Krueger ancestors came from Osfrieseland to U.S. during the late

Ostfriesland for Krueger which is my maiden name?
Does anyone know the name Kroenecke from somewhere in Germany
where my great grandfather came from during the late 1800's?
my ancester name is Kroenecke from somewhere in Germany but the
town where they came frome may have been destroyed during WW2
Want to find out any thing about Johann Bruncken from ostfriesland
1700,s
Regarding Sjaabe Tiden Lottmann, I forgot to mention that someone
thinks he might be found in the town/city of NORDEN, Ostfriesland. Any
clues on this would be SO appreciated! Thanks so much, Kathy
Looking for Sjaabe Tiden Lottmann who might be found in this area. He
was born approximately from 1797-1801 (22 March). He came to New
Orleans, Louisiana sometime between 1833-1837, and married my g-g
aunt, Susanna Born, from Alzey, Hesse-Darmstadt. He died 17 January
1877 in Peoria, Illinois, USA. Several Censuses state he was from
Hannover, but no village has ever been listed. I suspect that he may have
had a wife that may have died in childbirth as a reason why he left
Germany and came to the USA. If anyone knows of any Lottmanns that
would lead me to be able to trace his ancestors, I would be thrilled.

Comment/Question
I am interested in finding information about Christian Paul Grimm whom I
believe is my GGGrandfather. He was born in Zweibruken between 17721785 and emigrated to Canada around Lunenburg I believe in 1832 or
thereabouts with his wife Elizabetha Traudtmann. It is likely that his
father (Jacob?) and several siblings also came to Canada though info is
sketchy.
According to a book written by Mary F. Kendrick "Down the Road to
Yesterday", 1941 (A history of Springfield annapolis county, Nova Scotia)
"Jacob Grimm came from Germany where his older children were born.
He married charlotte----- and settled in Lunenburg County. children
Christian, Daniel, Jacob, Martha, Margaret and one other daughter."
I believe my lineage to be Jacob -> Christian -> James Christian ->
Fernando O'dell - Ross Hayward and I am Paul Hayward Grimm. (All
deceased except me)
Christian Grimm and his son James Christian Grimm settled in Springfield
in 1859.
