Bente in Cleveland
I just discovered that my great grandfather's sister, Anna Marie Gertrud Brüggemann, married Everhard Henrich Bente.I believe he was kin to Friedrich Bente who was a professor at Concordia Seminary in St. Louis in the late 1800s and who had a son named Paul who was a professor at Concordia College in Fort Wayne.I have been working on the Brüggemann genealogy for Anna's brother Clamor Viktor Ludwig Brüggemann and have most of his descendants living in the USA.I also have just made a contact in Schlederhausen who can look up church records and has information about the Bente family.I also have a microfilm copy of the church records for Zion and Trinity Lutheran churches in Cleveland.Let me hear from you about this family connection.David
