I am from Thayer co., Nebr. The names sound familiar. My father is Ernest Theodore Dietrich Kapperman. E-mail me and we can help one another figure this out.

Wow - years between postings, but eventually people connect. We have a lot of Kappermann's in our line. I'm not sure of the name you posted. Magdalena Dorothea Kappermann, dau of Diedrich Heinrich and Anna is where my Asche line met the Kappermanns. Does any of that sound familiar? Terri

Judy,

I found this older post searching message boards on rootsweb. It turned up when I searched "Eilers" for surnames and "Oldenburg" for keywords. I am interested in any info I can find on my g-g grandmother, Helene Eilers. She was born near Westerstede, which was once part of Oldenburg. More info:

Born 1824
Married 1844 to Gerd Gerdes
Died 1855, near Westerstede

You listed Eilers and have lots of Oldenburg connections. Does she fit in any of your trees?
