Thank you too Jim,

Do you happen to know the county seat (or largest town) in Mercer County?
To be honest, I have never heard if it.

Regards,

Dave

If you think there are a lot of Oldenberg Germans in the Cincinnati area you

should go north to Mercer County. A few years ago nearly everyone was from 
Oldenberg and Catholic. Even the towns have German names. And beautiful 
churches.Get a phone book. Wow. I have nearly every name in my tree.
