My Great-Great-Great Grandparents were Hermann Henrich Krogmann and Maria Agnes Nieberding. Herman was born approximately 1834 in Oldenburg and died approximately 1905 in Arkansas USA. Maria Agnes was born between 1831 and 1834 in Oldenburg and died in 1924 in Iowa, USA. They immigrated to the United States in 1873.
I found a message archived on a site that used Steinfeld Church records to document Herman's ancestry. A link to the information, supplied by Werner Honkomp, is given here:
I was wondering if anyone had information on Maria Agnes Niberding's Ancestry. Her father supposedly died at sea while immigrating to the U.S. in 1873, and she may have had an aunt named Elizabeth, born in September 1829.
Michael,
the nieberding family has been discussed here previously. Do some
archval checking to see what you can find. Google lists over 76,000
for the name.
I found this emigrationrecords by castlegarden.org - timeframe 1870-1880:
First name Last name Occupation Age Sex Arrived Ship Origin (Port) Origin (Ctry) Origin (Prov)
HEINRICH NIEBERDING CIGAR MAKER 17 M 7 Dec 1874 BRAUNSCHWEIG BREMEN & SOUTHAMPTON GERMANY
MARIE-ELISABETH NIEBERDING UNKNOWN 40 F 18 Jun 1873 ARGONAUT BREMEN GERMANY
GERD-H. NIEBERDING FARMER 79 M 18 Jun 1873 ARGONAUT BREMEN GERMANY- died on board
I assume the last one is the father of Maria Agnes Nieberding.
I have the church records of Steinfeld:
* 17.Jul.1835 Maria Agnes Nieberding
Parents: Gerd Henrich Nieberding - Born 13.Nov.1794 - Heuermann
oo 25.Jan.1826 to Maria Catharina Dreyer - died 23.Mar.1867 in Steinfeld
The other person should be the sister of Maria Agnes:
* 26.Sep.1831 Maria Elisabeth Nieberding, same parents
Werner refers to Gerd Henrich Nieberding, born 13 Nov 1794, as the father of your Maria Agnes Nieberding. He is also the brother of my gggggrandmother, Maria Catharina Nieberding. Henrich and Catharina's parents are then, of course, our common ancestors.
I have generated a pdf file which details the ancestry of Gerd Henrich Nieberding and will forward it as an attachment to your personal email.

-------------- Original message from Werner Honkomp <werner at honkomp.de>: --------------
Thank you so much for your help with my Krogman Genealogy. My family will be thrilled to look at the information you have compiled.
I have done a little more digging, and I have found some information about the ancestors of Lucia Margaretha Osterhaus ( b Abt. 1673) who married Henrich Nieberding Gt Osterhaus. I found the information on Rootsweb.com.
I do not have any genealogy software that will give me formatted reports, and I do most of my documentation by hand. I think the best way for me to share this information with you is to give you a link to the information I found:
I emailed David Nearon (the person who published the information), to ask him what his sources he had for this data, since it relies heavily on approximation of dates. He forwareded my email to the person who did the research, and I have not heard back from them.
Thanks again for your help, and I hope this new information is useful.
