Hello from Lincoln Ne A little bit of information from the Aurich
Oldendorf OSB, all information is from that. Gretje Rademacher
is listed listed in 2751 as the oldest child of Schweer Reiners
Rademacher, born 1827, and Anna Gerhards Goedals, born 1825. A brother
of Gretje, Gerhard Schweers Rademacher born in 1860, marries Sara
Alberts Loschen. This is listed in 2764. They are probably the
Godparents you list under #4.
Father of Schweer Reiners Rademacher is Reiners Boers Rademacher born
1797. His first wife was Gretje oltmanns born in 1802. This is listed in
2747.
Reiner Broers Rademacher parents are listed in 3222, he is their oldest
child. Anke Gerdes, born in 1776, Listed in 1074, marries Boer Schweers
, born in 1769. Their 4th child is Gerd Boers Rademacher, born in
1804. These brothers take the name Rademacher, probably form
occupation-wheel maker. Gerds offspring immigrates to Nebraska, first
to the Talmage, Cook and Burr area. Some move on to NE South Dakota and
Okla. There are some I beleive in the Odell and Adams area. Their
brother Focke Boers, born 1807, marries Medje Schoon. Family members
immigrate to the Castro colonies west of San Antonio. Al Gerdes, listed
as receiving this message is from that family as I remember. I have the
OSB from him, so if this information is helpful thank him. His Gerdes
family is a different one than mine, from the same general area in
Ostfriesland. The last child of Anke and Boer, Maria, born in 1821,
marries a Gronewald, some children immigrated to Golden IL and one at
least to Gothenberg Ne. I have a little more information from roots web
but have not really researched this family. Al Gerdes has a lot on his
family. Mother Anke Gerdes is a sister to my great great grandfather,
our generations are really spread out, Lubbe Gerdes was born in 1767.
Most of that Gerdes family took the name Schmidt in 1811 when Napolean
decreed all names had to remain the same from one generation to the
next. Somewhere along the line my ggrandfather went back to Gerdes. They
immigrated in 1868 to the Phelps City Mo area and due to floods moved to
the stateline area south of Wymore Ne in 1883. I have no Gesine Gerdes
in our history. My grandmother , last name Boschen, had Onken in her
family. They were from the Ardorf area. More Onkens listed from that
general area. We also have Siebels in our family history. This is the
first knowledge I have of some of Reinder Boers Rademachers family
immigrating. My great grandfathers half sisters family wound up in the
Clara City area also in SW Mn. Hope this helps, have you received other
information?
Blessings, Gerald & Verneda
