Dear Jens,
I all ready know where my GGGFather is from. But I would like to find out if he had brothers and sisters. I'll bet he did. He was married and he was a good catholic and he had 8 children or so of his own.
Lucas Feldhaus- born in Laehden. His father's name was Johan Heinrich Feldhaus, from Lower Saxony and Lucas married a Toebben/Tobben girl. Margareth Adelheide Tobben from Bokeloh, and he must have loved her so much... enough to leave his home in Germany and go to the United States for. I think it very romantic.
Your Friend,
Barbara
