German family - Degen and Meyer

oldenburg-l
1

I would very much like to contact any of my German family.
My mother Hanna Alvina Degen B: 20 Mar. 1921
My uncle Helmuth H. Degen B: 2 Dec. 1924 in Altenhundorf
My grandfather Carl or Karl Henry Degen B: 22 Mar. 1895 in Eisfleth

Most important is Anna Degen born Meyer B: 1895? Carl Degens wife
she was born in Germany and she passed away in Talbot county, Maryland
USA in or around 1931-1935
We know little of her or her family and I know my mother now 90 always
talked about her mothers family and how kind and gentle her people
were, I want to be able to let her know if any extended family is
there and any news would brighten her spirits.

This is from the MAUS-Database www.passagierlisten.de

For further search for family-members, you should try to find out which
village is the origin of your family:

Wardenfleth = Warfleth, Berne
Wardenfleth = Bardenfleth, Berne
Wardenfleth = Bardenfleth, Elsfleth

Only in Bardenfleth, Elsfleth, I have found a Degen in the actual telephone
book:

Degen, Karl-August, 0049-4485-814
(no address given)
