Christopher Dieckmann and Francisca Anna Maria Elizabeth Nordhus were my 4th
ggparents.Their daughter, Anna Maria Engle Dieckman, was the youngest of 10
children. She was christened on 25 Nov 1790. She married Johann Henrich Meyer
in Steinfeld on 25 Nov 1818 (note it was the bride's 28th birthday). The
parents of Christopher Dieckmann were Werneke Honcomp and Anna Maria Dieckmann.
Since Christopher inherited the Dieckmann farm, he changed his name to
Dieckmann, which was the custom in that part of Germany at that time. Francisca Anna
Maria's parents were Johann Arend Nordhus and Anna Dorothea Mollenmeyer. I
hope this is of help to you. David Nearon
