Bulthaup-Bulthaupt family

Hello,
I am researching our Bulthaup-Bulthaupt family line. I am looking for
Christoph Heinrich Bulthaup and his decendants. Christoph was married to Maria
Chatherine Elisabeth Probst.
I can only find one child for them here in the states. They had a daughter,
Maria Engel Bulthaup who married Johann Heinrich Otte in Cincinnati, Ohio.
Can anyone tell me where I might find more information on this family? Does
anyone know what part of Germany the Bulthaup-Bulthaupt name was from?
I am not sure of the correct spelling of this name.
Thank you,
Debbie

Hello Debbie,

the german phone directory shows a Bulthaupt concentration in the Melle, Bünde, Hiddenhausen, Bielefeld area in Westphalia. About 45 addresses.

Good luck,
Werner

Hi Debbie,

      Have you seen this?

http://www.2manitowoc.com/marBu.html

An entry there mentions the town of Essen. There are at least three or four
towns by that name in Germany in Hannover, Westfalen, and Rheinland.
There is a Christoph listed with a wife with a different surname. Second
wife maybe?

Also this:
    buer-us.de
These people are emigrants from Buer which is near Melle, Hannover.

It may help if you had some dates for birth, marriage and emigration.
