Becky,

We are also researching the ZUMBAHLEN Family from Dinklage. You should check the LDS site for the following: "Katholische Kirche Dinklage" (AG. Vechta), Kirchenbuch, 1668-1875, Salt Lake City : Gefilmt durch the Genealogical Society of Utah, 1972.

For our family, records from the above Catholic church show that Maria Zumbahlen and Bernard Heinrich Kenkel were the parents of Gerhard Heinrich Kenkel who was baptized in May of 1791. Gerhard married Margaretha Elisabetha Espelage in 1824 in Dinklage and they baptized their son Bernard in April of 1825. Bernard and Katharina Henriette Hüve were married in 1852, emigrated to the states in 1874, lived in Cincinnati, and are buried at St. Mary's Cemetery.

We may share common ancestors.

Doug,

We likely do share some ancestors. Thanks for the information. I found a gedcom on Ancestry that has lots of Zumbahlens in the Cincinnati area connected to mine, but no sources and the owner did not respond to my query about where they found their info. I am more curious than ever to find out exactly where they came from in Oldenburg, and who in Cincinnati they were related to.

Thanks!

Becky

Doug & Becky -- I live in Cincinnati. Would you like me to get copies for you of the St. Mary's burial records from the microfilm next time I go to the Public Library? If so, I need to know which surnames below you are interested in and dates of death. I live in Cincinnati.
