Greetings,

I have a group of families I'm researching who immigrated to the US from the
Worpswede area.

The Worpswede area families I am attempting to trace include Siem(s),
Boetjer, Schnaars, Stelljes, and Bunger.

Other families which are <perhaps> from the Worpswede area include
Bullwinkel, Vogt, and Behrens.

Are there genealogy societies, groups or electronic groups which focus on
Worpswede, Kreis Osterholz, or Teufelsmoor ?

Or anyone here ?

Feel free to reply here or to my email...

Worpswede:
take a look at wiki-de.genealogy.net/Worpswede,_OFB
This points to a printed version of a Ortsfamilienbuch - a list of all
persons having lived in the village 1675-1875

Teufelsmoor: the Ortsfamilienbook is available online at
http://wiki-de.genealogy.net/Teufelsmoor,_OFB
Gesamtliste der Familiennamen: list of family names

And in 19th Century Brooklyn it was often Anglicized to Bottyer.

If you have links with the Tueffelsmoor, we may be related ! :-)

I wouldn't have guessed the link with the -cher and -scher spellings.

Thus far, these families had no Umlaut but who knows what I'll find as I
continue back.

Thanks. I wasn't aware of these.
