List Members I have two ancestral families from Oldenberg. My
grandfather, Joseph Bernard Kampsen ,emigrated from the Damme area, St. Viktor
Kirch around 1882 to the USA. My great grandfather, Franz Anthony Klostermann
emigrated from Neuenkirchen, St BonifatiusKirch in 1860 to the USA. I am
from the state of Kentucky. I do not know the German language. I was wondering
if any cousins were list members? Thank You,
Joyce
