Hallo Georgia,

I think I can help to answer your question about Lohe. I myself lived there
in the eightys for some years. If your ancestors come from Linsburg and
Husum, your Lohe cannot be that one near Westerstede or Bar�el, but that one
near St�ckse. It is very small and there are only 5 houses, mostly farmers.
It lies between Wenden and Steimbke and today it belongs to Steimbke.
Linsburg and Husum are just nearby. The Church has the following adress:

Pfarramt Steimbke
                                                                      
Kirchstrasse 3
                                                                       31634
Steimbke

"Amt Sahte" might be a wrong spelling, because "Sahte" is no german
expression. "Saterland" is the name for a region southwest of Oldenburg
with an own language.
This area did not belong to the "Gro�herzogtum Oldenburg"; the inhabitants
were and still are mostly catholic.

I have a Buchholz-ancestor in the early 19th century from Steimbke, which is
near Linsburg.There is also a Borcherding-ancestor in the 17th century in
Holtorf, which is also nearby. If you are interested in this persons, I will
send you my informations.

Kind regards from Oldenburg (near Westerstede and Bar�el)

Susanne

Dear Susanne,

Since the Vienna congress (1814)the Saterland made part of the
Grossherzogtum Oldenburg. But there was never an Amt Saterland.
It was part of the Amt Friesoythe, now of the Landkreis Cloppenburg
(license plates CLP)

Sincere greetings from Diepholz

P.S.:

The vicar and the secretary at the Steimbke lutheran church parish
are nice and very helpful.
