Bossum is probably Borssum

I should have been more clear with my post. Henry William Meyer born Aug
3 1843, came to the Milwaukee area when he was three years old along with
his parents Arendt and Anna Meyer. I am trying to find his birthplace to
see if any information is available there. In his documents the family
states he was born in Bossum Hannover. I am wondering if their
pronunciation of Bossum might actually be spelled Bassum or some other
spelling. Henry married in Wisconsin and we know his spouse and children.

Thanks again for your efforts---Bob

Hello Bob,
Hinderk Willms Meyer is listed in the Ortsfamilienbuch
BORSSUM/Ostfriesland
(Nr.944) without birthdate, birthplace, parents or death date.
He was married to Antje Aielts Maarfeld, also without dates and
origin.
The couple had 5 children in Borssum:
Albert Hinderks born 1881
Antje Hinderks born 1884
Zwantje Hinderks born 1887
Eilt Christian born 1890
Jantje Hinderks born 1895
Probably the family you are looking for.
Regards,
Hans Wilts

Hi Bob,

your consideration seems to be quite reasonable:

neither fallingrain.org nor gov.genealogy.net show a place called
Bossum
in Germany, but see these:

Bassum - Wikipedia
Bassum – Wikipedia

Good luck,
G�nther
