Yes thanks werner -
i know the location - sorry spelling error - meant Hamburg –
our steinkamps did come from Neuenkirchen = our relative still lives in Cloppenburg and we are in touch – we have located the family origins and the still existing family property –
I was just trying in a hurry to identify the "big city" in the proximity that would make it easy for others who may want to locate Oldenburg/Cloppenburg in a map as usually they do not show up -
in our research we found that their exit papers were processed through Hannover which early on made us think that’s where they were from – but eventually we got it right -
thanks - m
