I am searching for the family of Boehlke or Bohlke

I am researching my German ancestors, I believe that they came from northern Germany possibly the Prussia area no Poland. As i understand the area people did not have surmanes before 1800 so could anyone help point me in the right direction of how to research family in that time frame. It is also my understanding that the government supplied surnames to the people unless they were royalty. any help would be appreciated.

Hi - I am doing a One Name Study of the name Blaker, found everwhere the old German language was used - Scandanavia, Germany, Netherlands, UK, eastern Europe and so on. If you come across this odd beast, I would be very pleased to know about it and thank you.

Hello,

I am interested in the Borchers family from Hanover, Niedersachen, Germany. Johann Heinrich Borchers, b.14Jul.1797; emigrated to the US and settled in Ohio in the 1820's. He married Catherine Lehmkuhl b.6Jun.1806. They were both born in Germany. Any info on the family anyone has would be appreciated. Thank you.

HI, Bob, Thanks for posting that link. I checked a few as I was scrolling through it- no luck yet, but it will take a while to check it all out. Have a good weekend.

My 2 German names are Wipfler and Stohner. If anyone has these I'd love to know.

I don't know anyone here has ever seen this site.

Some of the links are in German and may need to be translated.

I used babelfish you may want to use something else.

Are there any connections available to the Palitine region of Germany for researching the "Biehn and Merten" Surnames?
