Eastern Standard Time, "miriam" _mcnabbuc@netzero.net_ (mailto:mcnabbuc@netzero.net) Families I know are from Oldenburg but don't know town yet: Brokamp Kemphaus Kruempelbeck Meyer Thies or These Wehenpohl Wessendorf/Westendorf I am researching the Kruthaup(t) family in the Oldenburg area. All of the families you have listed above, with the exception of Wehenpohl, are represented in the LDS filmed records of St. Viktor's Church in Damme. Smaller com munities covered in these records are Sierhausen, Borringhausen and Rottinghausen. Brokamp and Kemphaus are especially common in these records. Rae Lynn Kruthaup
