Letter of 30 5 2002 asking about information about Dinkgreve, Hoeltermann, Sandt, Hawickhorst, Meyer, Kaetmann, Evers, Friehling, Gerding, Rueve, Korfage.
Dear One and All,
I`m Frei. Mauro Hawickhorst. OFM, an American Franciscan priest, living and working here in the Amazon since 1959. I�m originally from Teutopolis, Ill.,
It�s been a long time but I hope I can get started again on the Family Tree. I�ve had a lot of trouble with the Internet, Computer and our Telephone Service for the last year but hope to get things going once more. And I first want to ask pardon for all the trouble I caused many of you with the Virus I picked up last year and sent on to many of you. I hope we have that cleared up. And please notice my new address; I can still receive messages with my old address ofm@netsan.com.br but I cannot send them for some reason or the other. That�s the way the Telephone Service is here in the Amazon. Any answers can be sent to either ofm@netsan.com.br or obidosofm@ligbr.com.br.
I�m looking for information about the family names that I mentioned above.

Their son, Henrich Dinkgreve, 1643 � 1692, married Catherina Hoelterman, my ggggg grandparents.

Their son, John Clement Hawickhorst, 1816 � 1869, married Maria Eliz Friehling, 1817 � 1880, who were my g grandparents. They were the first of my ancestors who migrated to the USA…
