On my very first posting I got lucky and found the Wehling branch in Oregon. ( it took another 2 years to prove they were related ) When I got to the point of finding all I could about my family in the USA I turned to the LDS research Library for microfilms in Germany and again found the general area in Germany where my WEHLING family was from in Germany, and that is the point where we all get stuck, when we cannot access the archived records in Germany. I considered myself very lucky that I found Jens who lives in Bremen, Germany to help me with my research, without his knowledge of Latin and reading old German script I am sure I would still be looking for my family if it were not for Jens. As you read below this is a preliminary report on Jens, and Regina`s research trip to Wingerode, I am sure it will connect about half of all the WEHLING`S in the USA before we get done. Check out Jen`s web page at www.hist.de or you can e-mail him direct at hrs@hist.de or if you are a WEHLING please contact me with any questions wehling@swbell.net Good luck in your research Steven C. Wehling ----- Original Message ----- From: To: "Steven Wehling" Sent: Wednesday, July 11, 2001 6:50 AM Subject: Re: Wingerode Trip Hallo, Steve, The trip to Wingerode was very interesting and we found so many Wehlings!!!!!!!!!! And we had very big good luck, because the Wingerode had 850- years anniversary celebration in 1996. And for this anniversary was made a commemorative volume. The church secretary of Wingerode (an ancestor of yours in four times (three times with the Wehling-Family and one time with the Nörthen-Family - but this you can see in the research report!) had research and written this commemorative volume with an other woman together. So we went to the community to buy this little book for you and - there was the other woman who wrote this volume and she has had many copies of old registers of the archive in Heiligenstadt! She was very interested in our work and so she show us some of these copies - and there were Wehlings in Wingerode in some lists ("Schäferrechnungen") of 1618-1648! Jens will tell you more in the report! (But first I must be ready with the data-input and Jens must be better with his bad cold). But the eldest Wehling (Henricus Adamus, oo 1702) has no contact to your family. Your eldest ancestor, Joannes Henricus Wehling, came from Kreuzebra to Wingerode and married 1713 Anna Maria Hessin from Wingerode. They have had five children and your ancestor Joannes Georgius Wilhelmus Wehling was born in 1717, married (we don´t know where and when) Susanna Sommer, and died in 1794. They have had nine children. ... We noticed every Wehling in Wingerode (gggparents and cousins ggggparents and cousins ...), so you´ll get a very long report (until now I´ve not put the half of the dates into the computer but there are nearly 30 pages in the report - and until now no comments!!!) I think it is enough for today, it is better to use the time for the data- input for your report.
