I mainly research the families:
Baar, Loechte, Silies, Thier, Wes(se)ling, Wiedkamp
and similar spelling in the areas around:
Ibbenbueren, Emsdetten, Muenster,
Hoerstel, Mesum, Emsbueren and Seppenrade,
all situated in the
former german counties Westphalia or Hannover as well as in Omaha, NE
and Richmond,VA
I appreciate any information to these families, I will share all my
information with other researchers. Who I am I was born in Ibbenbueren, Westphalia in 1937. My
job in an aircraft- and aerospace company brought me to Bremen in 1965, where I live now with my wife Elisabeth.
My retirement and the successful search of family members in
the USA led me to my hobby, the genealogy.
The topic of my research is the project Via Bremen to Everywhere
a cooperation of the MAUS and the Bremen Chamber of Commerce.
Among other things you will find the Bremen/Bremerhaven Passengerlists 1920-1939
together with pictures and historical data of the passenger ships.
