Hello Linda,
here one more confusing, because the parents of Johan Herman are
Johann Heinrich Burwinkel genannt(called) kl.Sextro and Anna Elisabeth Schulte (say Heitmann book).
I will ask an expert for Dinklage.
Wait and see,
Werner Honkomp

> Hello,

> Please excuse my use of English.  My German is very bad.

> I am trying to understand the origin of the  Lübke  part of the kl.
> Sextro-Lübke family name.

> The family was part of the farming community of Langwege (II) near the
> town of Dinklage in Oldenburg .

> Catholic church records from Dinklage in the 1800's use "kl. Sextro vulgo
> Lübke" for the family.
> Johan Herman kl. Sextro vulgo Lübke (1774-1855) and his son Johan Heinrich
> kl. Sextro vulgo Lübke (1810-1873) were the first people I found in the
> records with the Lübke part of the name.

> I know these extra names were used to tell families with similar names
> apart but  -  why was Lübke chosen?   Why was it important to the family?

> An aunt said that Lübke was the name of a farm.   Is that true??    Is it
> a part of Langwege?

> Does anyone on the list know something that might help me understand the
> Lübke  part of the name?

> Franz Josef kl. Sextro-Lübke (1881-1946) came to America from Langwege in
> 1905.   He farmed in the small town of Marysville in the state of Kansas.
> His name changed to  Francis Joseph Luebcke   and all his descendants use
> that name.

> Thank You for your help in figuring out why my name is "Lübke".   :-))
