Hi All,
I am new to the list since learning my family, HOHLEN, originated by
Hohenkirchen.
I have not been able to find the town of Wubbens or Wuebbens close by
Hohenkirchen, any ideas? From Hohenkirchen, my GG-Grandfather had been born
in Ostdorf near Nesse and from there Berumerfehn by Hage. So, needless to
say, I have been on the Ostfriesland list for some time. Any information any
may have on the town or surname Hohlen please let me know.
Thank you all in advance,
Glenice Hohlen Enger

Dear Glenice,
In 1979 I started working in City Hall in Hohenkirchen until my retirement
in 1993.
The correct name of the part of the municipality Wangerland you mentioned
(W�bbens, Wuebbens) is B�bbens (Buebbens) and has now up to 10 houses and is
the eastern part within the town of Hohenkirchen.
More details and a map I will send you after you give me your postal
address.
Sincerely,
Hans-Georg Boyken
