I became interested in genealogy a number of years ago but could not really pursue it until I retired. I think cemeteries are the most peaceful places on this planet and I wish that every cemetery could be preserved. That is why I take cemetery photos because I know that in some cases that may be the last vestage of the stone before it disintegrates.
I am researching family lines of Bredehoeft, Bredehoft, Lange, Haesemeier, Hasemeyer, Haesemeyer, Wienberg, Hauschild, Steffens, Schelp, Hemme, Dierker, Brandt, Fricke, Oerding, Evert, Albers, Heermann, Heerman, Meyer, Oetting, Dierking, Alpers, Krause, Gieseke, Wehrs, Schroer, Dillon -- cousins, aunts, uncles, grandparents and all lines up and down. My former name was Jane Bredehoeft Schroer.
