Hello from Germany

I found the offer of Mr. Hans-Georg Boyken who wanted so give away some
books - long ago. I guess I am much too late but I am very interested in the
book of Georg Droste of Bremen, "Ottjen Alldag un sien Lehrtied"

If by any chance this book is still to be found somewhere??? I would be very
happy to know. Please contact me by e-mail (aki.kazak@gmx.de)

Thank you ever so much.

I am trying to locate the following towns/villages in either Ostfriesland
or Oldenburg. Theoretically they are near to each other.

Coldewey
Gross Coldewey
Hohenkirchen (yes I know there are several throughout Germany)
Ollacker (spelling?)

Hello Bill,

here are your villages/towns, located quite near to each other (all at about 5 � 10 miles distance), and all of them situated in the former �Jeverland�, i.e. northern part of the former grand-duchy Oldenburg, east of Ostfriesland:

a) COLDEWEI (ancient spelling: Coldewey) = formerly a village, now part of WILHELMSHAVEN.

b) HOHENKIRCHEN = an old village, now administrative center of the communalty �Wangerland�,

           located about 10 miles north of the town of JEVER, half-way to the sea-side.

c) OLLACKER (your spelling is correct!) = now part of SCHORTENS (about half- between JEVER

      and WILHELMSHAVEN).

Gross Coldewey just stands for �greater� Coldewey, but it is not a name of another village/town. Maybe it means the village including surrounding estates.

Will above information do? Or do you need further details?

Dear Bill,
Hohenkirchen is an old frisian village, the main village of Wangerland north of Jever in Oldenburg, Gro� Coldewey is a farm between Hohenkirchen and Tettens, Ollacker is a farm between Oldorf and Westrum, all located in Wangerland. They are near to each other.
