From: Paul Scheele <pfsco1(a)...
I have records of a number of Dohrmann's who immigrated to Missouri, USA. They came primarily from the villages of Kirchtimke and Nartum which is a ways north of Bücken. Interestingly, these Dohrmann's usually spelled the name Dormann after they immigrated. The trains may be a better way to get to Bücken/Buecken from Hamburg. You will probably have to go through either Bremen or Hannover as it is on the route between them but a little closer to Bremen. I believe the train station is in Eystrup. Should be a short taxi ride from there. Good luck, Paul Scheele ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mark Dohrmann" <mark(a)... To: <hannover-l(a)...
