Cloppenburg/Kloppenburg

Hello,

Recently, I received an Obituary from a German Newspaper in Cincinnati. They listed the birth place of the person as Resthausen, Kloppenburg, Oldenburg.

When I see maps, it shows Cloppenburg. . . was it spelled with a "K" and then changed?

Thank you.

Hello Joyce,

some people spelled it former with "K", but the right spelling was allways Cloppenburg.
