I am looking for information on Ernst August Von Lichtenberg and his wife Adelheid Timken. Ernst and Adelheid were married 8 July 1792 in Oldenburg which is 20 miles west of Bremen. they were Evangelical Lutherans. Adelheid's father was Johann Heinrich Timken. I know they had at least one son Carl Anton Lichtenberg. I do not have any further information.
Does anyone have any additional information?
I would appreciate any help given.

Hi Dave,
If you are sure that it's the city of Oldenburg, west of Bremen, you should
ask the Hannover list. The Pfalz is 300 miles south, but there are areas
near there which belonged to Oldenberg. I checked Family History Library
Films and there is only a Catholic Church with records in 1792 in the City
of Oldenburg. If you get on the Hannover list, someone might be able to tell
you the right church to contact. Otherwise, you might want to study the
history of Oldenburg on Wikipedia and zoom in on Oldenburg on Google Maps
and look at the Altstadt for churches. Take advantage of
http://www.familysearch.org for info on writing letters. There is a Carl
Timken living in Wilstedt today, which is NE of Bremen (from Das
Telefonbuch).
Good luck,
Mark
