My records reflect the following: My Great-grandfather, Bernard Hinrich
Westerhaus (11 JUN 1844 Neuenkirchen - 11 JUL 1933 Burns, KS) was married to
Caroline Olberding (25 DEC 1850 Steinfeld - 20 JUN 1925 Burns, KS), the
daughter of Joseph John Henry Olberding (10 SEP 1824 Steinfeld - 23 NOV 1908
Burns, KS) and Maria Agnes Meyer 24 OCT 1807 Oldenburg - 04 MAR 1858
Oldenburg). I also do not have specific information about where she was
born or died. I have her parents as Carl Joseph Meyer (12 Aug 1777
Steinfeld - 03 DEC 1826 Steinfeld) and Maria Elisabeth Kramer (07 Oct 1778
Steinfeld - 24 Jan 1827).
I do not have in my record a Maria Magdalena (Olberding) Meyer who was born
on June 18, 1854 to Joseph John Henry Olberding and Maria Agnes Meyer; and,
I do not have Maria Agnes Meyer as being the widow of Henrich Arnd Kramer.
Rather, I have Joseph John Henry Olberding as being married twice - first to
Maria Agnes Meyer; and, after her death, to Catherina J. Kramer (16 Feb
1834 - 21 Feb 1908). Of course, the other reference to Kramer is through
the maternal bloodline of Maria Agnes Meyer. It appears that Werner
Honkomp's information relates to my great-great grandfather Olberding, so I
am VERY interested in resolving these differences and in connecting with Bob
Behnen to share Olberding information!
Most of my help concerning OLBERDING in Germany has come from Marlies
Vagedes, whose mother was an Olberding. Marlies has helped me extensively
with genealogy of the Olberdings of Steinfeld, and has been a marvelous help
to me and to many others. THANK YOU MARLIES! Marlies can be reached at
marlies@vagedes.net
I welcome help with this history! Also, I am quite willing to share my
electronic file with anyone interested. I use Family Treemaker software,
but can either send pdf files or convert to GEDCOM using that software.

Hello Doug and Bob,
I sorted your records a bit to better understand.
- Maria Agnes Meyer is born 27.Oct.1807 in Steinfeld, died 04.Mar.1858 in Steinfeld
her husband Johann Henrich Olberding was on this time farm owner
My records reflect the following: My Great-grandfather,
- Bernard Hinrich Westerhaus (11 JUN 1844 Neuenkirchen - 11 JUL 1933 Burns, KS)
was married to
- Caroline Olberding (25 DEC 1850 Steinfeld - 20 JUN 1925 Burns, KS),
the daughter of
Joseph John Henry Olberding (10 SEP 1824 Steinfeld - 23 NOV 1908 Burns, KS)
and Maria Agnes Meyer 24 OCT 1807 Oldenburg - 04 MAR 1858 Oldenburg).
I also do not have specific information about where she was born or died.
I have her parents as
- Carl Joseph Meyer (12 Aug 1777 Steinfeld - 03 DEC 1826 Steinfeld) - owner
and (oo 03.Nov.1802) Maria Elisabeth Kramer (07 Oct 1778 Steinfeld - 24 Jan 1827 STEINFELD).
I do not have in my record a
- Maria Magdalena (Olberding) Meyer who was born on June 18, 1854
to Joseph John Henry Olberding and Maria Agnes Meyer;
and,I do not have Maria Agnes Meyer as being the widow of Henrich Arnd Kramer.
Rather, I have
- Joseph John Henry Olberding as being married twice
- first to Maria Agnes Meyer; and, after her death,
to Catherina J. Kramer (16 Feb 1834 - 21 Feb 1908).
I'm suspect, I have only this marriage record, no second:
- Johann Heinrich Olberding, farm owner (no Joseph)
oo 25.Oct.1848 to Maria Agnes Meyer (widow of Henrich Arnd Kramer + 07.Mar.1844) + 04.Mar.1858

Liebe Listenmitglieder,
zu meiner großen Freude bekam ich heute von Edith Heilberg geb. Prigge, das
oben genannte Buch aus Südafrika, zugeschickt.
Ich habe nun das Buch, dass mit dem Prigge-Wappen versehen ist und reich an
historischen und neueren Fotos sowie Stammbäumen, als PDF, eingescannt (rund
21 MB).
Es beginnt mit dem Missionar Heinrich Christoph Prigge.
Bei Interesse bitte direkt eine Mail an mich.
Bei dieser Gelegenheit möchte ich auch mal wieder auf meine HP hinweisen.
Dank der unermüdlichen Fortführung und Korrekten durch Robert Inselmann,
findet sich auf meiner HP bereits ein Update der Datenbank und wird in
unregelmäßigen Abständen erweitert.
Ein schönes Wochenende wünscht
Michaela (Ellguth)
