Hallo Listers,
I am trying to identify the parents of Christian Benjestorf who emigrated to the United States ca. 1870. He would have probably been born in or near Osterwald O/E, Hannover,ca 1850.
Possible fathers are:
Johann Heinrich Christian Gerhard Benjestorf ..... b. 31 Jul 1798.
or Johann Heinrich Christian Daniel Benjestorf ..... b. 15 Dec. 1814
There is also a remote possibility that his parents may have been Catherine Dorothee Benjestorf, b. 12 Apr 1804 and her husband Anton Heinrich Boefer. (He may have changed his surname for some reason).
I have no information concerning the children of any of these people.
Any information on Benjestorf or Boefer would be greatly appreciated.

P.S: Is there someone out there who would be willing to translate this message into German for me and post it again?
