Hallo Albin,
Yes, I am using microfilms of the Stade records. You are lucky to have
access to indexes of the actual Oldendorf Kirchenbuch records -- I recognize
it will make it much easier to work with the records. My biggest problem
with the Oldendorf records is that they are very difficult to read, more
difficult than the records for Lamstedt, Oerel, Oese, Bevern, Selsingen,
Bargstedt and Harsefeld.
I have four lines of BUCK ancestry, three on my father's side and one on my
mother's side. My name line of BUCK comes from the village of Dornsode in
the B�rde Lamstedt -- the family has lived there since at least 1525. I
also have another line of BUCK from Hollen in the B�rde Lamstedt from the
early 1800's and another Dornsode line from the late 1600's. My mother's
BUCK ancestors came from Hude in the parish of Oldendorf. I only have one
name from this line at present, however, a Trin BUCK who married Karsten
DEDE from the village of Schierel (just east of Elm) in about 1755. I don't
have a birth date or an exact death date for Trin BUCK. She apparently died
sometime between the birth of her last child in March 1774 and her husband's
second marriage to Gederuth BARDENHAGEN (from Alfstedt in the parish of
Oerel) in June of 1777.
I have posted information about my father's BUCK ancestors at my web-site
http://familytreemaker.genealogy.com/users/b/u/c/Frederick-A-Buck
in the report entitled "Ancestors of Hinrich BUCK". I haven't posted any
information about my mother's Oldendorf ancestors yet -- I have four
ancestral lines from that parish: SCHOMAKER/SCHOMACKER from the village of
Vorhorn bei Elm, DEDE from Schierel, BUCK from Hude and GOOSEN/VON GOOSEN
from Gr�pel. My mother's grandmother, Margarethe OERDING nee SCHOMAKER was
born in Elm in 1855 and died in Stade in 1935.
I also have ancestors from the following nearby villages:
Alfstedt in the parish of Oerel: BARDENHAGEN (on my father's side) and
HINCKEN (on my mother's side).
Bevern: TIDEMANN/TIEDEMANN (all the remaining family names will be on my
mother's side)
