Dave,
I'm no expert at genealogy just an amature but I have seen the name Freese at Foko I think and also at elmslanders.com. I don't know where from the Kingdom of Hannover your people are from but I think many from the Elmsland region emmigrated to Missouri and Illinois. I have seen the name Freese at this website and as I look at church records from Shrine of Saint Josephs German Church in Saint Louis Missouri I am beginning to recognize names from this area.
Regards,
B. Lewandowski
