Will someone please fill me in on what these census are about? Are they
town
specific? I'm researching Mathias Bergheger, born about 1809 in Cappeln,
Hannover and his wife Anna Marie Spelbring, pob unknown but still
Hannover.
They left Germany about 1840 and originally settled in Cincinnati before
finally arriving in Illinois. Any help appreciated. Willie

Cappeln is only in the province of Oldenburg.
I think it could be Ostercappeln Landkreis(county) Osnabrück. There lives 17 Berghegger (double g) families.
Osnabrück have two Spelbrink addresses.
