In researching my own Buchmeier from Rolfshagen, Germany family history I found a another Buchmeier family that for a short time also lived at Beecher, Will Co., IL. These Buchmeiers moved west to Plymouth, Jefferson Co., NE. They had immigrated from Deckbergen, Germany near my own Buchmeiers' village of Rolfshagen. In 1985 I wrote to the St. Petri Church of Deckbergen for information and connected up with a descendent of the Deckbergen Buchmeiers, Angelika Schierholter.

If you have come to my website via Ancestry: Several years ago the genealogy giant Ancestry absorbed the genealogy websites of Rootsweb along with personal databases posted at Rootsweb's WorldConnect Project that included a large database of my own family information. I started using Rootsweb in 2000 and they gave us the capability to add, remove, and update our information at anytime and I used these options frequently to post correct and current data. Presently (2006) I am told by Ancestry that we cannot maintain our own databases, we cannot even remove them. If you find information at Ancestry with my name attached please search my website for current information, the databases posted at Ancestry contain inaccurate information. - Karen Rowe.
