Recently I learned my Schenk family came from Fladen/ Dahlenburg, Many families from Muecklingen- Seil [ geb 1860], Warnecke, Schroeder.
Schenk from Ventshcau
Schoop or Schope from Seedorf
Ahrens from Ahndorf and other villages.
Michel.
Naefke,
Grote,
Hagemann,
Radel
Rieckens family info has been found.
Warnecke from Dahlenburg and Mucklingen.
Herman Mohlman
Some ties to Neetze.
Ties to Galena, Jo Daviess Illinois and Jackson county Iowa before Calhoun and Greene county Iowa.
Ties to Uelzen and Ostheide.
Possibly Bergman, Bargman, Buhr, Behne,Luhr, Barge, Steek, or Steck. EggersI have much work to do.
It seems the famiily mixes with all the villages of Bleckede,Goeddingen, Barskamp, Alt garge etc. and the others. Would any one have the book by Dr Raven and Heinrich Borstelman on Bleckede. I have some pages, but I would like to find out more. I already have about ten here

Need Oldendorf, Ventschau, Boitze, Schutschur, Walmsburg. Barskamp, Maybe Pommoissel if it's not pushing it.
I hope to find the book in some versions available for Peter Raven.
Some information is carried here under Schultze and Schroeeder trees.

It is still mind boggeling how they seem to be everywhere. History of connections to Meyer, Luhmann, Behrens, Schultze[n], Rappaul,Ulrich,Steckelberg, Reinecke,Janecke, Steinhauer,Gehrke, Mueller.
Can anyone help.
Thank you
