Hello David,

the real name of your maternal grandfather is Hölterhinrichs.
The origin is a small cottage (15 hectare) in Damme part Borringhausen,
first notice 1724.
The last owner Hülsmann sold the cottage 1907 to the farmer Strieker.

Damme is located in Oldenburger-Münsterland, the catholic south part of the
former Dukedom Oldenburg.
Father David say, the area around Minster in Ohio called Ohio-Münsterland,
as reference to Oldenburger-Münsterland.
The first name of Minster (from Münster) was Stallotown. The teacher Stallo
from Damme was the intiator for emigration movement from
Oldenburger-Münsterland to Ohio.

The name Stiers is there not present, the phone directory listed a
concentration in Westphalia, near Duisburg.

I hope it help,
Werner Honkomp
