Hi Werner
I am trying to tie the Langforden (Bomhof) Eckholt's to the Langforden Eickhoff's/Ekhof's/Eckhof's/Eckhoff's. I was told by Rulf Cordes that the Eckhoff's were origionally from the Eckholt line, but I have been unable to tie the two together. The data below was obtained from the Vechta Archives and is a sample of the data I am trying to link. I have traced my family back to Joannes Bernardus Eickhoff, born 1692 and died September 23, 1763, Bomhof, Langforden, Vechta, Germany. Any help would be appreciated.
