My hometown of Vincennes, Indiana, has three families (MEMERING, OLDIGES [mine], and
SIEVERS) from this area (mainly Esterwegen). These three families are all related through marriages to three BRAKE sisters.
Also there is a FamilyTreeMaker Web-page by a Vanesca BRAKE McDERMOTT of Maryland (e-mail: marcmcd@erols.com ??).
