The towns of Holdorf, Steinfeld and Damme form a small triangle in that area. Your Wilberdings of Iowa have names my mother-in-law mentioned many times such as Johanning. There are several of us trying to put the two families together but as of yet no success. A Wilberding we visited in Damme said all Wilberdings originated in Steinfeld Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
