I am serching for information on the Wichmann Family in the Oldenburg area. They are my line and I am interested in making contact with some of their descendents.
The actual line would come from Bernard Heinrich Wichman bn 1847 in Luseke, Vestrup Oldenburg, Germany and descendents of the Gerhard Netler family- mother Maria Elisabeth Wichman bn 1844 in Lueske, Vestrup, Oldenburg, Germany. My great grandfather Johann Casper Wichman bn 1841, in Lueske, Vestrup, Oldenburg, Germany is their brother.

Hello Jan,
the history book listed some Wichmann farms around 1900 in our area.
Therefore the origin of your Wichmann ancestors could be Oythe - parish Oythe, Büschel or Carum - parish Bakum.
Bakum-Carum is the closest village to Lüsche (Luesche) parish Vestrup. Maybe one of the family moved to Lüsche.
Lüsche is a part of the parish Vestrup, but the postal address of Lüsche is Bakum.
Wichmann, Bernhard (only this address is located in Lüsche, check Google map)
Riederweg 11
49456 Bakum
Wichmann, Clemens
Wichernstr. 7
49456 Bakum
Wichmann, Maria u. Dieter
Dersagaustr. 4
49456 Bakum
The history book listed in Bakum-Carum a small cottage faremer Wichmann, 9 hectare:
- 1545 Wichmann upper Heide
- 1568 and 1618 Hermann Wichmann
- about 1888 sold to Blömer
The church books of all catholic parishes you can find by LDS
Good luck,
Werner Honkomp
