Helene Catharine Hinnerike Degen, * 29.06.1864 Brake, � 23.06.1868 by measles, ^ (buried) 27.06.1864, parents above (source church book Brake 1868/43)

Mette Catharine Degen b. Meyer, *22.01.1822 Nordermoor, � 24.03.1872, ^ 30.03.1872 by tuberculosis (source church book Brake 1872/17)

Is the Parish of Brake where to look for someone from Neuenkoop,
   Oldenberg?

   Searching for family of Christreich Frederick Kuester born 1809.

   Would this area be considered Prussia? Or even Pommern, Prussia in
   the early 1800's? Thanks

Hello Jenel,

no, Neuenkoop is a small village near Berne in the former state of Oldenburg, the parish might be Berne or Neuenhuntorf. copies of the church books are to find in der state archive of the former state of Oldenburg in the city of Oldenburg.
