I descend from the Damme line in the area of "Berger " as well however I have not chased this group as well as some of the line But Ann Marie Damme ( gggm) was born in Perry county Mo in 1850... Does this name connect in your data??? I am currently still trying to update a 1960's family history my grandfather compiled ( Louis Koch) So if any of you are out there with information that may help ~ (Koch - Damme - Vahlkamp - Rosswinkel) Please reply to this so I get these records together for us all. I have learned to even transcribe Old German Script to help in doing this and I love to meet family that is out there even by e-mail.
So if your People have any of these Surnames and resided in Wayne or Otoe County Nebraska or near Burger Missouri..Join me in the search please.
