Pam,
Are any of your Ahlers family around Ellsworth, Nobles County, Minnesota? I have a Metje Ahlers in my family married to Friedrich Essman and I am trying to find her parents and birthplace.
Thanks
Nancy Mattoon
Boy are we lucky,
I happened to find the couple's marriage in the church registers:
They married on nov 13, 1832 in Oldenburg. Johann Hinrich was a citizen
and master tailor. His father was Johann Hinrich Ahlers, citizen and
innkeeper in Oldenburg.
Her father was Hermann Hinrich Holle, citizen and master tailor in
Oldenburg.
What I was missing was their birth dates, thanks a lot; and I did not
know they emigrated. I would love to hear from you more about their
emigration, and where they finally went to.
I would also like to forward this info to our Oldenburg emigrants' database:
Hope to hear from you
Yours
Heiko (Ahlers) from Oldenburg
