Thank you Diane.
However since posting my original message I have discovered that my Gerken ancestors come from the villages of Hepstedt, Kirchtimke,Breddorf and Wilstedt which are fairly near each other, somewhat to the north of Fischerhude, NE of Bremen and considerably north of the Verdun area.This information came from the LDS microfilm files catalogued under Germany, Preusen, Hannover, Kirchtimke church records. Names & birthdates all match up.
The book still sounds interesting but unfortunately I have no German.
