| Abstract | Recounts the author's search for the name of an ancestral village. "Barney (Bernhard Lucas) Dirksen arrived in Baltimore in November 1859 on the ship "Ernestine" from Bremen. . . . [H]e was accompanied by his father, brother, and sister. . . . My attempts at researching Barney's brother, sister and father had turned up little information about them and nothing about the emigrants' ancestral village." After researching the family of Dirksen's wife, Christine Josephine Kleine, the author discovered the Kleines came from Herzlake, and later was able to learn that the Dirksens came from nearby village of Gross Dohren, all in the Emsland region of Hannover. |
