I have ancestors in Malgarten, Buhren and Epe near Osnabruck; and probably as you say, others in Osnabruck itself. I have had some success with these since I purchased a book on the history of Epe while I was over in Germany in 2001. My last known relative is Johann Bernard Nieporte b. abt 1800 in that area. He was married to Catherina Maria Bockhorst in 1800. She is the person who I have records of who came over on the Louis Henry ship in 1856 and then went to Cincinnati, Ohio. Any help would be appreciated!!
