I am researching the family of Carl Frederich Christian Hermes, son of Christopher Harms of Volsrude amt Hagenau, Mecklenburg Schwerin. Carl is my ggg grandfather. His daughter, Anna Maria, and her husband, Johann Arnold Heinrich Borgerding, emigrated from Ihorst amt Damme, Oldenburg in 1834. Carl married Margaretha Detmar from Ihorst and lived on the Ferneding farm there.
I am interested in corresponding with others researching these families and also the area of Volsrude.

Hello Tom McEntee,
perhaps I can help a little bit.
In the Schubert marriage list of Luebtheen (Volzrade belongs to this parish)
there is a marriage:
Christopher Barthold Harms, widower, Einwohner of Volzrade marries 3.5.1792
Sophia Elisabeth Tiede, daughter of deceased Jochim Tiede, Hauswirt (farmer)
in Luebtheen.
There is no other marriage of Christopher Bartheld between 1775 and 1792.
Because there is a gap in the church records 1732-1775 I could not look for
more.
