OSTFRIESEN RESOURCES
EAST FRIESEN ROOTS The extracted information below is from the book EAST FRIESEN ROOTS that Rev. De Wall published in 1986. Permission has been given to publish a partial list of the names from his book that pertains to Grundy Co., IA. The index of names have been taken from the OSTFRIESISCHE NACHRICHTEN a German language newspaper that was published in Breda, IA by Pastor L. Hundling from 1882 to the time of his death and then by others until the 1950's. Many Ostfriesen [East Friesen] families published their obituaries in the Nachrichten in order to inform their friends and relatives in the 17 other colonies of the death of a family member. The index below is listed when the obituary was published in the Nachrichten, the dates listed are not the death dates. Rev. DeWall will translate the original obituary for a small fee. To get a copy of the translated obituary send a letter to:
