Carol and others,
I hope You did not think I think Twiselhop is in Lunburg area. It has to be in the Bergen church area over near Hermansburg or lower south. I only brought it up becaues the man who knew my family was familiar with it and I was trying to "flush" him out.
I did this invetigation on what I had read at Dahlenburg on- line.
I was wondering if anyone would know about this person he mentions at Oldendorf that did this research. I wonder if any of his family would be able to tell us about his research. Wouldn't that be great.
My Meyer family is from Neetzendorf and later from Oldendorf and Nahrendorf. But I am looking for Reinecke and Schultze and Behren also in hopes they would know something about my Meyer and they would after all be family too. And so I look into all names mantioned in babtisms and such that occured in Oldendorf and Nahrendorf.
I have a clipping from a church volunteer that i will send later for help on. but now I must read all the emails. I haven't even finnished carols yet.
Hi,
as far as I know thee are no other books of that region which might help you. The chronicle of Charlottte Woedage is not available anymore (I guess), but you can read the online version on the Dahlenburg home page (in German). I also heard that there is/was an homeland researcher living in Oldendorf who collected a lot of information about the farmers in Oldendorf/Nahrendorf, but I think he is not living anymore. Another source could be the church records of Dahlenburg. You could also contact the church office
Ev. Pfarramt I
Johannisstr. 8
21368 Dahlenburg
Germany
The surname Meyer or Meier is very very often used in Germany. Therefore it might be very difficult to find the right Meyers
in that region. When I was researching that region I gave up to find out more about "my" Meiers.
Best regards
Peter
