Hello Nancy,
the political boarder for this time splited the parish of Damme to Münster
(M) and Oldenburg(O).
M and O shows the political part of the parish.

Werner,
As a followup to your response, did the "O" stand for Oldenburg or Osnabrück.
I thought that the references that I have seen in the past in Pagenstert
were to Osnabrück, and that Oldenburg didn't take over the Damme area until
the early 1800's.

Don is right. In 1795 Oldenburg didn't really have anything to do
with Damme but Osnabrück did for many centuries. The M part was what
went to Oldbg. in 1803. I'm on the road and can't exactly describe
the settlements with Osna in the Damme area. In any case it was very
tricky and one can't simply draw boundaries as individual farms were
split sort of willy nilly without regard for their physical location.
