Hi, I've posted something before but I'll have to try again:
I am looking for some info on my second great grandfather Adolph Henrich (
Hinrich) David Te(e)pe who moved to Hoorn in the Netherlands and got married
and raised a family from which I am descended.
He was supposedly born in Oldenburg but during his marriage, his mother
Anna Sophia Tepe was still living in Achternholt near Wardenburg which might
explain why Adolph is hard to trace in Oldenburg.
I have found this post on this forum:
http://list.genealogy.net/mm/archiv/oldenburg-l/2010-10/2010-10f.html
It comes close and they have to be relatives but no Adolph is mentioned and
no Anna. Anna should have been born around 1817 and Adolph's father was
unknown.
The name David might give a clue to this mysterious father, since it doesn't
appear at all among the recurring names of the rest of the family (Hinrich,
Sophia, Anna). Even my mother was named Anna Sophia.
Perhaps someone who has acces to the Wardenburg archives could help me find
this line of the Tepe family???!!!!!
Gruss,
