Hi. I'm willing to help if anyone needs info about their families in Plymouth and Woodbury and the Sioux County town of Hawarden. I live between Akron and Hawarden,Iowa, and go to LeMars often. I'm also doing Obituaries and Markers of all Cemetery and putting them on a site called findagrave.com.

I hope this will be of help to some of our families of German heritage.
I have the 3 volume copy of the Reepsholt, Germany, Ortsippenbuch or OSB (combined parish and census records) for 1633-1900. Information included are births, deaths, baptisms and family relationships. Many of our early German settlers (1860 -1900) came from this area of northern Germany and are related to each other. Some surnames include Bohlken, Kleihauer, Frerichs, Jacobs, Renken, Doering, Borchers, Dirks, Willms and many others. Almost anyone who has relatives buried in one of Plymouth county Lutheran church cemeteries will find their ancestors here. It includes many of the small villages in the area besides Reepsholt. These books are a wonderful resource for anyone who has ancestors from this area. For instance--I have 122 sets of greatgrandparents in these books!! Wish the British Isles did this!!
