After the death of my grandfather Johann Dietrich Weyhausen in 1910 in
Delmenhorst, my grandmother Catherine Mathilde Belsemeyer Weyhausen married one
Herman Staffhorst. They moved to Steinkimmen in Ganderkesee. I've been
looking for some information about the Staffhorst family and have not been able to
find any. Would anyone know if any of them still live in the area?

Dear John,
there are some Staffhorsts in the area of Steinkimmen in the German phone directory http://www.telefonbuch.de/ (just type the surname into the searchfield)
Staffhorst Dietrich, Delmenhorst
Staffhorst Gerfried, Delmenhorst
Staffhorst Gustav-Adolf, Delmenhorst
Staffhorst, H., Hatten
All first names sounds "old". So perhaps they know your grandmother.
