Other Families

Wolfgang Dreuse of Osnabrück, Germany, has a site with wonderful historical maps and photographs of Buer including the historic St. Martini church and many old family farms.

One of the most valuable pages on this site is a 19th century List of Families (with house numbers!) for Buer, Sehlingdorf, Duingdorf and other towns in that area. From this list we can surmise which of our ancestors might have known each other.

Ruth Busdieker of New Melle, MO, has a site at http://heritage.freese.net/family/Busdieke/index.htm
Her site includes many Bus'd'kers, as well as the following names:

	Frederich & Elizabeth (Lüdinghaus) Berlekamp
	Johann Ernst & Anna Maria (Dierker) Buschdieker
	Friederich Johann & Marie (Kemper) Brueggemann
	Johan Berg. Jorg Freese & Cath. Eliz. Kühlmann
	Joseph & Wilhelmina (Nieweg) (Höhner) Giessmann
	Konrad & Wilhelmina (Bergfeld) Holt
	Rudolph & Margaret Maria (Rohlfing) Meier
	Heinrich Jacob & Anne Sophie (Friederichs) Paul

The story of the Buszdieker role in the Eudora Church Colony in Whitmore, California has been documented in Whitmore, Shasta County, California, A History by J. C. Thielemann, Hugelwilhelm Publishing Company, Whitmore, California, 2000. See more at http://www.whitmorehistory.com/

Another family from the Melle area is that of the Hannebaums. Larry Christensen of San Diego, CA has an impressive site on that family's story at
