Hallo Liste,

    I am searching for information on a line of several organ players/schulmeisters at the Lutheran church in Rastede (St. Ulrich's I think). Most of them are related as successive generations, father, son, grandson, etc. The family name is Wedemeyer, and I think the first one was named Christoph Wedemeyer *1600 +1657.
   If anyone has the OFB for Rastede and can provide information, I will be very grateful.

                 Nicole

P.S. I am a librarian and can help anyone with American information.

I'm always interested in information about organists. I'll look in a book
I have upstairs. It's a long stretch, but the name might be included.

Liebe Fritz,
   Danke schoen for your help! Here is some information on Wedemeyers I know are connected to me in Rastede, but there are probably others also:

            Christoph *1600 +1657

            Johannes *1631 +1681(?)

            Christoph *1667 +1737 (not sure if he is son of Johannes)

            Anton Christoph *1698 +1733
           
            Hinrich Gerhard (brother to Anton Christoph) *1712 +1761

            Johann *1738 +1761

    My longterm goal is to connect up all the Wedemeyers in Niedersachsen! So if it is not too much trouble, I would like to see any Wedemeyers you have.

           Thank you again.
            Sincerely,

            Nicole from Champaign, Illinois, USA (two hours south of Chicago) in the cornfields
