This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/ZVC.2ACE/3993 Message Board Post: I have traced some ancestors (I think!!!) back to Schandorf in the Hannover Region, which they left in 1852 to travel to the U.S. I understand that village has since been incorporated into Menslage, which is about 6 miles west of Quakenbrück. Can anyone verify that for me? The names are John or Johann Borgarding or Borcherding, and Anna Haverkamp of Hafferkamp or Haverkampell (I have seen all these variations in my research).
