       I could not find out the Place where Johann Rudolph Schweer did
       come from yet. There are several places called Oldendorf im
       Osnabr�ckischen. I know they habe been two brothers from the same
       Family but the Oldenburger Church books only give this Information
       and the Oldendorf near Osnabr�ck Churchbooks do not have baptisms
       of the years where they are born. I found the Name of their father
       but cannot take the concret birth of these sons. Its the End of my
       line yet. A
       As you see we have the same ancesters :o)
       I collect all Schweer/ Schweers( Yes it is the same familiy as you
       can see) from the Friesische Wehde and I know there are several
       emigrated to the USA and married others from Oldenburg region. So I
       would apriciate your date to complete mine.
       Best regards
       Ingrid Heine

I also had two names with Gesine, do you know if they are good names or not? I found them from some US records. Some of the records came from a man in Germany. Like you, I will have to get them from the other computer. Let me know if you want it.

Thanks for Your Assistance

Hallo James,
   thank you for the answer. I am very interested in any Schweer/ Schweers
   from Northern Oldenburg. As I found out there are connections in most
   of the times where the persons have the same name. The Problem with the
   Schweer/ Schweers is, that one of the pastors some names wrote Schweer
   and other children called Schweers. This is the German genitiv. There
   are many families named Schweer/ Schweers, because this Surname comes
   from the name they used to call the persons like mine Ingrid.( I just
   lost the word for this) Some Persons have both same names.So the
   Identity is not so easy to clear. Most of the people from the
   "friesische Wehde", that�s the region north of Oldenburg, habe been
   very very poor. But they could live cheap by moving after two or three
   years. In the 1860th there was a big hungertime in Germany and many
   people emigrated. The same happend after the first Worldwar in the
   early twenties. I know from a brother of my greatgrandfather called
   Bernhard who emigrated in about 1860-80 and a brother and a sister of
   my grandma who emigrated in the 1920th. The last ones lived in
   Willoughby/ Ohio.
   If you have dates from your family or stories they told, you can make
   shure the region. But I think this Gesine Elisabth Schweer is the one I
   have send to you, because it is very seldom that two persons have the
   same name and are born on the same day. The name Namken I also found in
   the oldenburg churchbooks. Perhaps I have the weddingdates in my
   papaers but I have now no time to surch for them because they are
   unpacked until my home is ready.
   Have a nice day and enjoy what you have. If you want to know more I can
   look for it, when I�ll come to Oldenburg next time.
   Ingrid
