Reply: Mike, if Oldenburg was located in Prussia, then there's a stronger connection with the Cincinnati NURREs and the other NURREs (IN, IA and so on). There was an Oldenburg city and an Oldenburg district or county, right? Also, wasn't the census taker supposed to give the birthplace name as it was when the census was taken? The names changed in Germany often with the moving of boundaries. What a headache this is to try to straighten out! Best Wishes, Donna Mollaun ************** Planning your summer road trip?
