Voltlage is located in what was the district (in German: Kreis) of Bersenbrück and in what is today the district (Kreis) of Osnabrück in the western part of what was until 1866 the Kingdom of Hanover and what then became and remained until 1945 the Prussian province of Hanover, the capital of which was the city of Hanover (in German: Hannover). Following World War II and the break-up of the huge state of Prussia (in German: Preussen; capital: Berlin), the Prussian province of Hanover, the state of Oldenburg, and the two very small states of Brunswick (in German: Braunschweig) and Schaumburg-Lippe combined to form today's German state of Lower Saxony (in German: Niedersachsen), with the city of Hanover as its capital. Voltlage is today a town of about 1800 people and is located about 20 miles northwest of the city of Osnabrück. Robert

My gut feeling is that this is: Voltlage, Lower Saxony, Germany -W & V sometimes sound the same, i.e., Woltlage & Voltlage -Lower Saxony = Nidersachsen As I recall, this town was in Hannover in the 1800s. I've seen it there in my research. If you go to mapblast.com (among other sites), you will also find other alternative spellings, if Voltlage doesn't work.

Hi Linda, I've been out of town this past week, but am back at it now. My father came to Chicago in the 30's from Cornell, WI, then he and my mother, from Durand, WI, were married in Villa Park 1938. I was born in Warrenville in 1945, but raised in Elmhurst. My mother's ancestors were from Austria and my father's were from Scandinavia via Rushford, MN. My husband's ancestors were from Germany via St. Louis, and he was born and raised in Elmhurst. I'm currently working on his ancestory. Elmhurst was a very German town in the mid-1800's; Elmhurst College was founded as a German seminary.

By grandmother lived in one of the houses from Hermann Grüneklee. He had a wood business. He did in the 1950. The house I lived in is no more standing. They built a new apartment house in it place.

Carol My husband's family settled in Indiana and moved on to Kansas. They spell their name Claycamp, however Kleekamp is an earlier way to spell it. Johann Frederick Kleekamp born January 20, 1785 in Venne, Germany is the earliest ancestor we have. His son Johann Frederick Claycamp was born in Germany, came to the US and died in Indiana. Please keep in touch, maybe our lines cross somewhere Cathy

Marge thank you very much. I'll have to check out Kleekamp, Heinr. as Henry, along with William are favorite names in the family. Cathy
