Hello Dominic,

here what I could find:

Gerd Hinrich Zumbahlen, born 11.Feb.1830 in Dinklage-Bahlen
son of Gerd Hinrich Zumbahlen and Maria Anna Barlage, Heuerleute (tenant farmer) by Barlage in Bahlen

married 10.Jul.1856 in Dinklage
to Maria Elisabeth Cohorst, born 28.Jan.1827 in Dinklage
parents: Johann Gerd Hinrich Cohorst and Maria Catharina Bünnemeyer, Heuerleute by Coldehof zu Höne

I hope it helps a bit,
Werner Honkomp


> I have recently started receiving your exchanges.  I congratulate you on

> My great grandfather was from the Dinklage area.  He was Henry Bernard or
> Bernard Henry  Zumbahlen (depending upon which document you read) who was
> born May 28, 1857 and was from Dinklage Groshersogthum, Oldenburg,
> Germany.  I have him coming to America in approximatelly 1884.  I have
> been unable to narrow down the ship and the ports.  He spent a year in
> Cincinatti Ohio where there were other Zumbahlen's before making his way
> to Kansas.  I have not figured out the relationship.  After reaching
> Kansas he sent for his mother Elisabeth (Cohorst) Zumbahlen (July 12, 1827
> - September 2, 1890) and she arrived in approximately 1886.  She is buried
> in St. Gregory cemetary in Marysville, Kansas.  My great grandfather died
> on August 21, 1913 and he  is buried in St. Johns cemetary in Hanover,
> Kansas.  He also sent for his two sisters Elisabeth (October 19 1861 -
> August 23, 1940 and she married a Christian Kuntz from the El Alcase
> region of France.  The other sister Catherine  (September 1, 1865
>  - June 18, 1950) married H. Henry Bramlage (November 13, 1859 - January
>  12, 1933).  Henry Bramlage was also from Dinklage.  All of them were
>  farmers in Kansas.  The Kuntz's are buried in St. Johns at Hanover and
>  the Bramlage's are buried in St. Gregory's at Marysville.  I hope this
>  information helps you on the compilation of immigrants from Dinklage.  I
>  believe a number of people from Dinklage ended up in the Marysville,
>  Kansas area.

> Sometime I would like to know if someone could help me acquire a little
> information on Bernard's father Gerhard.  I know he lived from June 2,
> 1831 to March 20, 1867 and is buried in Dinklage.  Also compile
> information on Elizabeth his wife who came to America.  I do not have any
> information on whether they had brothers and sisters or any information on

> Any help is appreciated.
