Our oldest ancestor was born in 1545 in Lüsche, Oldenburg, Germany. Please have a look at my website www.tabeling.nl We have a Johan Clemens TABELING in our family, born in 1823 in Lüsche, Oldenburg, Germany. His parents are Hermann Wessel TABELING & Anna Katharina WILKEN. I would be interested as well in finding out if there's a connection. With kind regards, Arie Tabeling
