Liebe Listenmitglieder,
ich suche die Eltern von Catharine WEDEMEYER. Sie soll im Juni 1846 in Oldenburg (nicht Stadt Oldenburg) geboren sein.
Mit freundlichen Grüßen

Hallo Lothar:
My Wedemeyer family comes from Delmenhorst, and before that from Rastede. But one of my third great grandfather's brothers moved to Oldenburg. He was Johann Friedrich Wedemeyer, born 28 June 1819 in Delmenhorst. He married Helene Theodore Johanna Elise Goose 9 Oct 1853 in Ganderkesee. He moved to Oldenburg and became a builder. I do not know if he had children, but I suspect that he did, because my second great grandfather was sent to school in Oldenburg for two years. I think he must have lived with his uncle Johann Friedrich Wedemeyer, and attended school with his cousins.
By the way, we are from New Orleans in the U.S. because my third great grandfather Hermann Anton Friedrich Wedemeyer emigrated there in 1844.
I will be curious if there is a connection between our Wedemeyers. I know that my Wedemeyers lived in many towns in the northwest corner of Germany. Sorry this is in English. I can read a little German, but I cannot write it.
M. F. G.,
Nicole Wedemeyer Miller
