HELLO,
I AM WONDERING IF ANYONE CAN HELP ME PUT TOGETHER THE MINDERMANNS IN THE AMT
ACHIM COUNTY OF HANNOVER. I HAVE THE 1855 CENSUS FROM PART 5 & 6 AMT ACHIM
WITH MINDERMANNS LISTED BUT SOME ARE 'WORKING' ON FARMS FOR OTHER FAMILIES. MY
ANCESTOR IS AHREND(AHRENT) MINDERMANN B:1782 LISTED ON PG30 OF PART 6 (IN
GIERSBERG), WITH OTHER FAMILY MEMBERS. BUT THERE ARE OTHER MINDERMANNS LISTED
THROUGHOUT THE OTHER PARTS (1,2,3,4,5,6) AS WELL. I AM TRYING TO TIE AHREND TO
AUGUST, LODDIG, LUER, JOHANN, BEKE, GESCHE, HINRICH, ETC. I FIGURE THEY MUST
ALL BE RELATED SOMEHOW. SOME OF THE DATES GO BACK TO EARLY 1700'S IN THIS
AREA FOR THIS SURNAME. MY GGGRANDFATHER WAS HERMANN(HARMON) MINDERMANN, SON OF
AHREND OF THIS AREA, THAT EMIGRATED TO DANBURY, OTTAWA CO., OH. OTHER
SURNAMES ASSOCIATED WITH THIS FAMILY ARE BEERMANN, BEHRMANN, BOHLING, HUNEKE,
KEDENBURG, BREDEHOFT, BREDBECK, WUHRMANN, BLOCK(BLOCH), WINTJEN(WINTGEN), CLAUSEN,
BAUMANN(BAMMANN), BOSCH(BUSCH), . ANY HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.
DANKE, VICKI
Vicki,
Your first step should be to work with the church records for Achim. The
LDS Family History Library has church records for the years 1715-1852 with
significant gaps before 1759.
You may never be able to connect all of the Mindermann lines together. You
could easily find that several lines with that family name are present in
the earliest church records (Achim's earliest records go back to 1645).
This was the case for my Buck lines in the parish of Lamstedt -- there are
at least four major Buck lines that date back to the early 1600's and I
descend from three of them.

Hi Vicki,
You may have seen this page showing the emigrants from Daverden, which
is not far from Giersberg:
http://www.daverden.de/auswanderer_liste.php
Because of that listing of the Mindermanns on that list, I would suggest
that you check the church records the LDS has for Daverden:
Kirchenbuch, 1715-1852
Authors Evangelische Kirche Daverden (Kr. Achim)
Maybe you have already done that. I wish you good luck!
