My grandmother is born in 1919 in Rhaude/Ostfriesland. Her name of birth
was "Follrichs". Her oncle "Heinrich Follrichs" did emigrate to USA,
probable to Auburn, NE. Unfortunately during world war II she lost all
documents of her ancestors. She left Ostfriesland before 1940. Now,I try
to find any traces in USA and in Ostfriesland.
If anybody has informations please contact
me. |

Back about 200 years ago,the cazrina of Russia invited German farmers to
come to Russia, take up land there, and would be not subject to Russian
military service. I am curious to know if there were many Ostfriese
farmers who took "advantage" of the offer. We now know the Germans who
took up the offer were later severely treated by the
Communists. |

My paternal ancestors were from Remels, Germany. I have been to Remels
and in the St. Martin's church records it is indicated that they left
Remels September 15, 1852 in a sail ship by way of the North Sea, English
Channel, Atlantic Ocean, Gulf of Mexico, Mississippi and Illinois Rivers
into Peoria, Illinois.
Their name was Focken in Remels (sometimes spelled and pronounced Vocken
here in America) but was later changed to Folkers. My gggrandfather and
gggrandmother's names were Weyert Focken (Vocken) and Taalke (Garrels) Focken. They came to America in 1852 with their five children Vocke (my
ggrandfather), Garrelt, Oye, Rixteand Anna.
I am interested in finding the ship manifest of their departure for
America. If anyone can help I would be most appreciative.
Also, did Weyert Focken have any siblings that have relatives still in
the Remels area. I would love to hear from you.
My grandmother Grace Garrels was also born in Remels, baptized in the St.
Martin's Lutheran Church. Her father's name was Focke Garrels. His wife
Almina died in Remels March 14, 1873. Grace and her father came to
America through Baltimore in 1882. I would also like to find their ship
manifest and if Focke has any sibling relatives still in the Remels area.
Many thanks for any help. |

Hallo,
some time ago I read about an US-citizen being connected with the
Kannegießer-Family from Flachsmeer (a village near Leer). Today I was
looking for his homepage, but I was not successful.
I can add to his genealogy that my grandmother was Ella Martha
Kannegießer, born on 19.9.1894 (daughter of Wemke Körte and Nantje
Kannegießer). My grandmother was married with Jan Claaßen Eden (2.4.1887
- to 6.9.1928)and had 3 sons (one of them may father Johannes Wilhelm
Nantje Eden (he died 1989).
If there is a possibility to contact that man in question, I would be
very grateful.
With best wishes from Germany:

I am interested in what happened in Ostfriesland circa 1818-1820 That
could have caused the demise of my ancestor Dannettel in the 2nd Royal
Hannoverian Cuirassiers who managed to survive Waterloobut died in Ostf.
in 1818-9 |

Desperately searching for parents and family of Johann Garrelt Willms
born July 24, 1866 in Ostfriesland. Marriage license shows parents as
Johann Willms and Altje Margretha Alberts. Married in 1895 to Rixte
Johanna Jelken in Franklin County,
Nebraska. |
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
My family search in this area is surnames LUKEN AND CLOVER/KLUVER. I know
there must be many variations of the spellings and that is a problem for
me. I believe they are from the region around Burlage. I think there is a
monument there for the soldiers of WW1 and there may be some of the
Lukens on it. Hermann Luken b. 1857 and Flora Clover b. 1865. They were
married in 1887 in the Lutheran church near Burlage.

Hello everybody. Any Onneken or Seehusen around? I`m originally from
Timmelerfeld (Timmel)a small town between Aurich and Leer. I visited
Pocahontas in 88/89 with my parents and met a lot of very nice people.

the frisian platt. Fascinating. Now I`ve been living in the former east
of berlin since 8 years but I`m planing on going back to eastfriesland

I've been doing genealogy on my own family for a while now and thought it
would be nice to do it on my step-dad's family for a Christmas present
for him. Needless to say, it is quite difficult when you are dealing
with the German names, especially if they "Englishized" them after they
immigrated. I am trying to trace a Nanninga family. Tena (Nanninga)
Cornish was born in Feb of 1887 to Frerk and Hannah (Diehardt) Nanninga.
I believe that Frerk immigrated to the US in 1870 and Hannah in 1874. If
I have the correct family, they married in 1879 in Illinois. However, the
problem is all the Nanninga families in Illinois and they ALL have the
same sorts of names. Anyway, it's a challenge, but I love playing
detective! |

I'm from Australia and i'm looking for an ancestor by the name of Menzo
Appeldorn who died in Stadskanaal, Netherlands. There are a lot of
Appeldorns from the Ostfriesland region so i'm assuming that is where the Appeldorns originated. I was wondering if you have Menzo Appeldorn who
may have a link to Ostfriesland, that is, you have the father of Menzo on
your records. He was born around 1880 and he had son Filippus Appeldorn
in 1904 in the Netherlands.
Is a Sander Appeldorn from the town called Sande in
Ostfriesland? |

Great website. Have went thru and read all the inquiries to see if any
mention of my family. Unfortunately not, but from the research I have

I do know that Hilke Marie was from Ostfriesland and Johann was from
Lower Saxony, Hanover.
Coming to the fatherland this year and can't wait to see this area!

HI! We've been doing some research on names. I was very close with my
great-grandmother and she always wanted me to name my child after her
mother, who came from Germany. Her maiden name was Olthoff and we are
now searching for the spelling of her middle name as we are expecting and
would like to use the name for our child. Her middle name was "Bovene"
and it's not listed on her marriage licence and her birth certficate is
in Eastfriesland Germany - so we really are unaware of how to spell it.
Any suggestions? We'd appreciate it! |

Hi!
Distant relatives of our family emigrated to the US in the 1850s. Their
names were Weert Freese an his wife, nee Heeren from Rhaudermoor. One of
their sons was called Asjen. My mother has got a picture with a young
woman and her children taken in the 1890s. It shows the mother and her
two children whose names are Willian and Ethel. The woman is probably one
of the youngest daughters of Weert Freese and his wife, the children
their grandchildren. They probably lived in Grundy County Iowa. Do
descendants still live?
Please contact me. Jürgen Meyer,
