Hello Sharon,

maybe you can try the following link:

_Arcinsys Navigator (http://aidaonline.niedersachsen.de/)

and enter just the last names "Ostendorf" and "Diephaus". This will
yield some inputs/titles/documents to look at.

Also, the German phone book may be worth a try:

_http://www.telefonbuch.de_ (http://www.telefonbuch.de)

Under "Diephaus", you will find 9 Diephaus in Twistringen, respectively
in Vechta.
In Vechta you will find 26 Ostendorfs.

I would recommend to first contact "Wilhelm Ostendorf", as a Wilhelm
Ostendorf placed in connection with my fathers family Morkramer, Vechta,
(see Morkramer under above link) an overview table and the name
Ostendorf appears there, too.

Maybe he or another Ostendorf or a Diephaus can give you the information
you are looking for without you having to visit an archive.

I personally do not know the contents.

Another interesting link might be:
_http://www.surnamenavigator.org/_ (http://www.surnamenavigator.org/)

I hope I could help you a little bit.

Best Regards
Monika Reinhold née Morkramer

Hello Monika,
WOW! Thank you for the information. Quite a bit to
check, but should I find something I'll let you know.
I've met a relative (Diephus) from Pennsylvania, US.
that is related to the Diephaus's, in Twistringen.
Turns out his grandfather Conrad Diephaus is my
gggrandfather. He has spoken to the Diephaus family in
Germany, regarding my ggrandfather Ostendorf, and they
are unable to shed any light on the union between my
ggrandmother and ggrandfather. Thank you again, and as
I've said, I'll let you know what I find. Best
Regard, Sharon

Thanks, Monika!

I went to the above link and found a record of my gggg-grandfather, Johann
Stulken�apparently a land purchase in Gristede.!

My German is nearly non-existent. Would some kind soul please tell me how
I can go about getting a copy of that record?

Thank you,
Marilyn in Wisconsin

Is there someone who would be willing to help me with a bit of German. I
just received an email from the Oldenburg archives about getting a copy of
a document that's very important to me. I want to be sure I follow their
instructions exactly.

Thanks in advance!

Oops! Please disregard. I think there's enough info here in English.
