List, Some additional information on ROHRSEN families. Sophie Dorothee ROHRSEN was the daughter of Friedrich Christian ROHRSEN and Sophie Dorothee Amalie (NOLTE?) or (HOLLEN ?). Sophie Dorothee ROHRSEN married Johann Christoph BOEGER of Algesdorf (small village south of Hohnhorst)and migrated to Schaumburg, Illinois in the 1850's I think. I also believe that they are buried at St. Peter's in Schaumburg. Sophie Dorothee ROHRSEN and Johann Cristoph BOEGER were the parents of Hans Heinrich BOEGER (my great grandfather). My great aunt Emilia Sophia Margaretha BOEGER daughter of Hans Heinrich BOEGER and Katherina GREVE would talk about the HECHTS (Minnie HECHT as I recall) as well as the MENSCHINGS and ROHRSENS. I always assumed that these families were related but I do not know the linkages. I am afraid that I do not have much more genealogical information available at this time.

John and List, The Sophia Dorothea Rohrssen who married Johann Christoph Boeger was from Reinsen, parish of Heuerssen, Germany. I have included details from my research of these families including some sources. I can provide more information on the marriages below if anyone is interested. The Boegers from Algesdorf are related to my Richers families from Hohnhorst (House Nr. 5).

John...you and I are related. Sophie and Christoph Boeger were my gr gr grandparents. Your gr grandfather, Hans Heinrich Boeger and my great grandmother Sophie Boeger Steinmeyer were siblings. I met Paul Gomoll several years ago and he sent me much information on his Becker family. Looks like Karen Rowe has most of the data for the Boegers.
