If your Peper ancestors attended St. Martini Church, in Lesum (located up near Bremen), or if they lived in one of the many towns included in this church's large parish, prior to World War II, please contact me. You may be eligible to join the new Lesum-Area Project. Many thanks.

hI Valarie,
Hope you may be able to help.
I have an Ailce Paper b 1872 Married into my family ie
Diedrich Koster in 1897.
Her Father was Thomas Paper,His father was Wohler Peper b
abt 1825 Germany, His father was William Peper b Germany ?.
I believe they may have come from the Lesum area,because
Diedrich was born Diedrich Kother in Eggestadt Bremen Germany in1848. His father was Hermann Kother b 1807
His mother was Meta Mehrtens b 1814 Friesenbuttel.
If you can throw any light on William Peper and the family
I would be most grateful.
Kindest regards.
James.

Hello James. Although I do not find your Peper family in the Die Maus Lesum database, there are Peper family members in that database. Here is a link to the free databases on the Die Maus website: http://www.genealogy.net/vereine/maus/datenbanken/index.php?...
You should check all of the databases, not just the one for Lesum. If you do not find your ancestors in any of the databases, write to me again. I know someone who may be able to help you.
Best Wishes,
Valerie

Hi again James, I just noticed that there is a Diedrich Ludwig Peper, born in Ottersberg, died before 1807 in Schönebeck, Parish of Lesum, in the database. Perhaps your family was originally from Ottersberg.
