I live in this area of Iowa still and primarily of East Friesen decent. My Lindeman family came from the village of Loquard. Some other branches of my family were from Stapelmoor. many other towns as well.
So are you in the Grundy area? Mine were from Gros Oldendorf, Wiesens, Holtrop....in the area of Remels. They were first in Illinois and then Nebraska.@@RYNO200pf
Yes I am north of the Grundy County line about about 15 miles in Butler County. My Lindeman family has been in the Butler and Grundy County area since the 1850's near towns Like Allison, Aplington, Ackley, Bristow Parkersburg, and Wellsburg.@@lanisioux2644
