Hi Laraine:
I think you are right to post two queries, it helps to keep information seperate and makes it less confusing for others.

I won't list the info on Ostfriesland as it is so long.
First before you start looking at any of the microfilms for the above, make sure they are the right towns, etc. Many times there are towns, districts, etc with the same or similar names. I just did a quick search.
