Are your ancestors there yet this day? what about Oldendorf ? I wouldn't mind some direction for a chance to learn of your history and maybe what or where the people of Nahrendorf came. Were there many from France or danish. where did they come from?.What kind of settlements and why. etc. I have heard of the excavation that they are doing not far from there. The earliest people. And what was the village like. I did get a little history of Dahlenburg from an chronicle written by Charlote Wodage. I have been trying to find something more. I have been thinking of the lds film. do you thik I would have a good chance to learn which Meyers remain from that.?
Have you heard of Roethen? I am jsut not sure where my Meyer family along with the Fredrich Schroeder family lived. They worked at that game refuge at Roethen. In a book written about the Prince Frederich it says he went to Hunt at Gohrde, after his child was born. Which is that same area. The address aIhave been given by churches in Iowa was Nahrendorf. The church records say thay were land owners at Oldendorf . Another Juergen Friedrich Meyer also was from this area with Heins from Eimke and Dreillingen They have a relationship to Sander and Mueller. And their is the Meyer line of Dubbeck who have one of Hamburg also. In Dahlenburg we have the Jonas line that has Rademachers of Meyer and Luhmann and Janecke[ others]. I have the Luhmann and Behrens, Riess, Bartel, Barthel, Pagel, Schlaphof,, Brese,Mueller, Carsten,Gerhrke,Reinceke ,Schultze and Schultze of the Eickdorf, and Neetzendorf area. Of the Nahrendorf area I have the Seil, Schmidt, Brookman and Korn . some of these came from Gross Thorndorf of Himbergen. And the Heins of Bergen area Siddernhausen, Belsen,Soltau and Fallingbostel. Diesten, Nindorf, etc and many more give me names such as Straatman, Houer, Schmidt,Behrens,Hohls, Brammer, Koch, Winkelmann, von Hoerston, Kothe, Meierhof, obermeier,, Timme, a page of surnames. I haven't gotten the names from Henke yet from Munster- Fassberg...I have some from Oertze I am not sure who married into the families at Nahrendorf and Oldendorf.
I have surnames of people who were kothners and musicus {?} and renters, as well as landowners. My Wilhelm worked at Horn before marrying. [ nudlitz?] It did seem that my group moved a little. My first knowledge of Meyer is from Radenbeck- Thomasburg. Every time they moved they had different people for batismal sponsers.At Nahrendorf/ Oldendorf they had: Warnecke, Schmidt, Lussmann Saucke, Bartel, Lyssman, Ellerman, Klug, Krug,Naefke, Schroeder. Petersen; Mosel, Hann,Seil, werner or Warner,Winkelman, [ I am missing a few] One hardly sees a Lyssmann name.
It does seem that I am missing two brothers and no names. I have many others that I am not aware of. The mother was suppose to have died 1855 after this move to Nahrendorf. Juergen Friedrich Meyer may have remarried. I guess I keep grasping at straws to find names to see if they may have married into these families. Four sisters and only a guess of their married names. Stille, Koenig, Fehring. and Sch??? No idea of married here or there or even if they came.
My family were simple shepherds and cattleman before the move to Oldendorf and Nahrendorf. Perhaps it is this class dististinquishment is why someone could live in the same village and not be connected to the other. Maybe why they seem to have broken some old ties. You may email me if you like. thank you for your time. and patience. Meyer
