  • Was this Hinrich Meyers sister? She named her children Brüne and Anna Margarethe – in 1732. Coincidence?

Is this a match for Hinrich Meyer from Bollen?

  • Alke Meyer, born 1703, moved to Bierden to marry Johann Schröder, all her children were born in Bierden.
  • This Hinrich Meyer has no further details known. DOB works, 2 years younger than Bruno.
  • Per Henriette, parents of Anna Margaretha Meyer were Berendt Meyer & Margareta Schrörs. But Schrörs seems to have been the name name as Schröder.

Hinrich Meyer, born Bollen 1692. Taufe: 18.02.1692 in Arbergen Konfession: LU [>]

Son of Hinrich Meyer, Hof Nr. 8, Bollen. and Wöbbeke Eggers.

If so – what relationship to Trine Eggers? Wöbbeke born 1666 in Riede. Wasn’t Trine from Riede? Yes- Eltern: Hinrich Eggers, Köthner in Schlieme, u. Anna Kötgen. Trine Born 1668.

So – Hinrich Meyer was born in Bollen in 1692 and would have been 5 years older than Bruno. His father was Hinrich Meyer of Hof No. 8 in Bollen, and his mother Wöbbeke Eggers. She was born in 1666 in Riede.
