The surname appears to have died out in the mid 19th century. My connection is via Sarah SEBBON born 1724, wife of Thomas SKINNER, daughter of Walter and Sarah.

DELGER; Oldenburg,DEU; 1572- I am looking for descendants of the Delger family of Nordloh-Apen, Duchy (Hertzogtum) of Oldenburg, now Niedersaschsen, Germany. This is very near the Dutch/German border. I have quite a bit of info on the ancestors and descendants of Arendt/Arnold Delger, who came to Ohio in 1844, then in 1856 to Minnesota with 2 sons and at least one nephew: August Arnold, Conrad H., and Conrad A.B. According to family lore, there were other Delgers who came in the 1840's and 1850's, and spread across the Dakotas and Montana. I understand there are lot of Delger families in Holland. The name seems to have originated somewhere in the region between Groningen and Oldenburg, and I have never been able to find out its derivation. I also am curious: how do the various families pronounce the name "Delger"? With a hard German "G" like in the English word "Girl" or a soft "J" sound like in "Giraffe"?

Albert (Albertus) BLEYWEERT, born in Wachtebeke (Flanders - Belgium) 20.07.1871, son from Josephus Bleyweert and Maria Van de Walle left Antwerp on 01.04.1908 with destination Litbrits, Alberta, Canada.

On 10.03.1921 he arrived in the port of New York comming from Antwerp on the SS Finland (he visited his brother in Flanders) and from there went to Santa Rosa (Florida). In a book belonging to his siter-in-law we found the address of Annie BLEYWEERT. In the fourties she lived in Lake Worth, Florida (county of Palm Beach), Nor 7/92 Lintfel.
