You might say that Quakenbrück is in the Emsland region, the eastern part, in
line with Meppen, Haselünne, and Löningen.
As to a website, I'm a firm believer in maps and atlases, libraries also
have them, and also believe that one looks for ancestors, wether in the USA
or elsewhere in the world, the first thing they should get is a map of the
region. Actually Bersenbrück also is a small city of about 6000.
