"Hi David,
My Great Great Grandfather was Else Sterenborg Varver. Your name is associated with his information on Ancestry. Are you related to him?
I have the Wymer Church Directory from 1713-1900, and would be glad to share any information you may not have. Also, my husband and I are going to Leer, Wymeer, and Bunde, Ostfriesland in June. If you are interested in any information,please let me know. Sherry Sterenborg Power California"

"Elso-Elzo and Eka-Eke Sterrenberg-Varver purchased land and a home in Bunde (about 1 1/2 miles from the Netherland border) in 1857. It is about four miles from Wymeer. We visited the home in 2001, and a couple more times while theproperty was still in the family. Nettie Weiman died about a year and a half ago, and the property was sold. Jurgen Weimann, her husband, was the son of another Aka (Eka)Sterrenberg-Weiman.
Albertus son, Fred, married his first cousin from Richert's family. Her name was also Aka ("Aky")
There was one son left in Germany when the three brothers left for the U.S. His name was Koene, and he inherited the house and property. His only child was AKA (Jurgen Weimann's mother).
When Elso passed, the will gave the home and land to Koene, and $$$ were sent to America for the three sons.
I don't know if you are interested, but I have copies of all the house contracts etc. It's all in German, and I haven't found anyone who can translate it for me. (It's in Old German.)
I'm not sure what you are interested in from the Sterrenberg family. I do everything in "chart form," so I could copy the information for you. ... sherry power"
