Dear list members,
I am interested in a man called Justus W�rk, who lived in Quakenbr�ck, or, at least, had an office there in the 1830's. My interest stems from the fact that Gerhard Friedrich Hunderdosse (1812-1884) worked in that office. A testimony by JW about GFH's work there is still in the possession of the American Hunerdosse family, descendants of GFH, who are my distant cousins (I myself am a descendant of a Dutch Hoenderdos family, also descendants of this Quakenbr�ck Hunderdosse family). Now I know a lot about this GFH (after his youth in Quakenbr�ck he left for London, worked there for a shipping and insurance agency and started a family, until he left for the USA in in 1855 where he bought a farm in Iowa). But the testimony is unclear about the sort of office JW operated in Quakenbr�ck (or, possibly, I have not been able to read it).
Is anybody able to tell me the occupation of Justus W�rk? That would at least give me some idea of the sort of work GFH did while a young man in Quakenbr�ck.
Grateful for any help
Paul Boelens
