Thank you so much to the kind folks on this mailing list!
Andrea, you found my ggg-grandparents, and I will be able to do further research in the Empede area for them. Thank you for navigating the aida site for me - my German is not very good.
And Heiko, thanks for the suggestions on the Sundermans & Dunekacks. I think these folks were from the area near Bremen, but it gives me another area to check.
You folks are great - hope I can return the favor sometime!
