Reading with interest all the information being passed along on this list over the last two days and thought I'd post my info one more time and hope for a home run also.
1)Berend Galdas, (Heuermann) married to Beta Margareta Osterloh Galdas, their daughter named Meta Margareta Galdas born August, 1860. Godparents were Johann Haverkamp, Ahlke Margarete Oslerloh and Ahlke Margarete Galdas.
2)Meta Margareta Galdas married Adolf Braun November 14, 1887. Church seal on document is St. Lamberti Kirc(?)me, Oldensburg.
3) Meta Margareta Galdas & Adolf Braun had a son Ludwig Bernnard Nicolaus Braun born October 8, 1888.
Ludwig was taken to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA by an Aunt in 1890. We're still trying to find out what Aunt brought him here. His parents came later and all settled in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA.
My 85 year old aunt says there is still family in Germany but contact was lost after World War II.
Thanks for any help.
