I am trying to find my father's ancestors. I have a copy of his christening papers from Lutheran Parish of Rodenkirchen, Duchy of Oldenburg, date of birth is 28 Mar 1895, baptism 14 April 1895. His name was Alvin Friedrich Johann Beckermann, but the spelling was Backermann, with dots over the "a". His father was Gerhard August, and his mother Anna Margarethe Brunken (nee Brunken, widowed Kapels or Hupens) Godparents Fran Alwine Fuhrken, Friedrich Backermann, Johann Brunken, Pastor Betke. I am looking for Gerhard August's parents, and I believe Friedrich may be his father. It states that he was a coachman of Strohausen. Any information would be greatly appreciated.
