While serving in the Army in the late 60's I picked up my car shipped from the US to Bremerhaven. At that time I did not know that I was close to the area in Germany where many prior generations once lived. Many from that area came over to settle in eastern Iowa and Jones County. |

| Comments: | Hello fellow researchers!
My name is Maike, I am 36 years old and I am professionally researching ancestors, especially in the area of Ostfriesland and Oldenburg. I personally have a high interest in ancestry and local history and I have been researching my own ancestors for years. I was born in Ostfriesland, I know the customs and the language and most importantly I know many ways of finding the necessary information about our past. A lot of people from Ostfriesland immigrated to the States and often it is very difficult to find further information due to the distance, the language and the old German writing. I can help you there. I am in the process of finishing my English website with further information which will be online shortly. In the meantime, just write me an E-mail and let's discuss how I may be able to help you. All the best! Maike |

Sometime later he left Illinois and came to Texas where my father was born. Do you have anything on this family.

He immigrated to the US in 1893 with his parents, Harm and Wobke, as well as two brothers, Frederick and Carl. The passenger list states Velde as their residence before leaving Germany frm Bremen. Any info would be greatly appreciated. |
