I am researching the families of my gggrandparents Johann Arnold Heinrich Borgerding and Anna Maria Hermes. They emigrated from the Ferneding farm in Ihorst near Holdorf in 1834. Heinrich and Maria left with 3 young daughters and came to Dearborn County, Indiana, near Cincinnati, Ohio. Heinrich was the son of Johann Schulte and Anna Maria Elisabeth Borgerding, born on the Borgerding farm in Ihorst. Johann Schulte assumed the Borgerding name when he married. Maria was the daughter of Carl Frederich Christian Hermes and Margaretha Detmar from the Ferneding farm. Carl was born in Volsrude amt Hagenau, Mecklenburg Schwerin. I'm interested in contacting others researching these families and others from Ihorst.
