Dear DeLorris Rekoske,
I don't know the answer to your spelling question; but, appended below is a
WEIDEMANN family in Zittow (slightly to the East of the middle of Lake
Schwerin) that was apparantly closely associated with the local pastor who
spelled the name the same way your GGM did.
Sincerely,
Jerry Rathke
