Wolfgang Dreuse of Osnabrück,
Germany, has wonderful historical
maps and photographs of Buer including the historic St. Martini church and
many old family farms on this site. 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. NEW! - an interesting and valuable history of Buer and the area around it. |

History and maps of the Kingdom of Hanover, which included the area in which the Bus'd'ker family lived and from which they emigrated. This has led some descendants to believe that their ancestors came from the city of Hannover |  |
