A least 3 of the Neunkirchen are in the larger Osnabrück area.
Michelle: please let us know some facts.
At some time in this area Prussia and Hannover is the same, as well as
Pussia an Germany. Without knowing more exact dates and names I can't help you.
Because of records: There are only very few Hannover data on LDS. And you
even can't get the films in family centers. So you must contact the German
churches who keep the records.
As there are some very different branches of Sprengelmeyer a different
places, you need to find out more info about August before you can continue.
When did he emigrate, when and where was he born, did he get married,
etc…???
Hello,
I presume Michelle lives in the USA: she would have no trouble
ordering and viewing LDS films unless she lives in an area where there is no
LDS center.

August I can seem to locate him entering the US. I have a borth date of
and see that he married Johanna Boesveld in St. Louis Missouri in 1860. Then
on the Federal Census records in the 1900 file, they are living in Julien
Iowa. I assume August was mining up there. He dies in Iowa. They have 9
children all born in Iowa. They both migrated at the same time to the US. I
just thought it was odd that they both identified their origin with
different words still being from the same area. I was not sure if that meant
anything or not. Basically, I see all of the Sprengelmeyers resided from
1577 to mid 1800s on between the area of Mentrup - Hagen - Osnabruck up to
Hannover. I found a record of Gustav Sprengel entring the US but the birth
date is not the same. I found death records in Missouri as well. It was
strange. They probably were brothers as the died living at the exact same residence
address but one death certificate last name is Sprengel and the other is
Sprengelmeyer? This is as much as I have gotten so far.
