I am located here in west-central Ohio. I am a member of the Missionaries of the Precious Blood (C.PP.S.) and I
am pastor of two small parishes near Saint Henry: St. Francis  in Cranberry Prairie and St. Aloysius in Carthagena. I am
41 years old.

I have been researching the Oldenburg immigrants to the "Ohio Münsterland". There are 2000 some of them.
Hopefull next year I will be able to publish the list along with some history and cultural information. I still have a way to go
to get it done. It might be about 500 pages.
