Guten Tag,
I am looking for information about Bernhard Harfst, born 28.11.1829 in Gr�ppenb�hren, and his descendants. He was the son of Heinke Harfst and Christine Holschen.
Ich suche nach Informationen �ber Bernhard Harfst, getragen 28.11.1829 in Gr�ppenb�hren, und seine Nachkommen. Er war der Sohn von Heinke Harfst und Christine Holschen.
Viel Dank.
Some additional information:
In the Ganderkesee-church records, only the death of Bernhard Harfst is recorded.
+1850/007 Harfst Bernhard
+09.01.1850 Gr�ppenb�hren
*28.11.1829
Vater : Harfst Heinke
9.Jan. Bernhard d. weil. Heuerlings Heinke Harfst
zu Gr�ppenb�hrer Moor u. Fr. Christine geb. Holschen Sohn
geb.28.Nov.1829 Alt 20 J.1 M.11 T.
The birth record has not been found. Possibly, Bernhard was baptized somewehere else (Delmenhorst, Hude etc.).
When Bernhard died, he was too young to be married already, thus it appears very unlikely to me, that there are descendants.
Best Regards
Heinz Wiemann
Dear David Harfst,
thank you for your email of 22 May and your included research
request concerning your German ancestor Bernhard Harfst from
Gruppenbühren.
First of all, I apologize for answering you more than three months
later. Your email was contained in a completely wrong email folder
and I only recognized this today by accident. I am very sorry for this.
In case you are still interested in my services:
Gruppenbühren belongs to the parish of Ganderkesee. The
Ganderkesee parish registers are available at the State Archive in
Oldenburg and start in 1637. So it would be no problem to look up
Bernhard Harfst's baptismal entry especially as you provided a
precise date. Also a successful search for his ancestors should be
possible. Descendants I can search up to about 1875 or maybe even
1900. Usually parish registers are only publically available up to
1875 keeping very rigid German data protection laws. But Oldenburg
often is rather liberal and provides parish registers up to about 1900.
At present I do not know your precise research objectives. That is,
would you, for instance, like to have only a few entries of perhaps
one or two generations back in time, are you only interested in the
paternal line or would you like to have extensive genealogical
research including every relevant entry to be found (siblings of direct
ancestors etc)? Or are you not interested in ancestors at all but only
in descendants?
After I will have got this information from you I will make up a
research offer with estimated costs which we can discuss, of course.
When we have agreed on a research project to be started you only
have to pay after you will have got the research report with the
results. Payment is possible per direct money transfer, international
money order, international payable check, VISA or MASTER CARD.
I look forward to hearing from you again.
Apologizing again for the long delay in answering you.
Best wishes from Bremen, Germany,
