Re: WORSDOERFER; DEU>OH,USA; 1854 Hi Peggy, The surname Woersdoerfer (Wörsdörfer), Wirsdoerfer (Wirsdörfer) and Woersdorfer (Wörsdorfer), Wirsdorfer are from Westerwald, today a part of Rheinland-Pfalz (in 18. century Nassau and later Hessen-Nassau). It's the area between the rivers Lahn, Rhein, Dill and Sieg. You find some of them on my homepage members.aol.com/horsma/ . Look for the personal numbers 51, 53, 102, 106, 193, 204, 212. There are although some Neu: 223, 393, 209, 418. I found the name Woersdorfer changing some times to Wirsdorfer. Wirsdorf is a small part of the village Guckheim in the south of Westerburg. I hope this helps you. Thomas horsma@aol.com (Horsma)
