Hello Dirk!
This is Ellie Hurckes, I have been truing to use your old emails forever and have not gotten a response from you hope you are well. I have accidently found some things, all brought about the death of my dad who is mnot a rohlfes but married one. Elsie Schroeder-Dettmer married Adolphe Heinrith Rohlfes, So I began a search of shields. I foudn that the SCHROEDER clan has a shield divided by 4 quarters 2 quarters hold sheafs of wheat and the other quarters show a black scarab (or dung beetle) the crest has 3 ostrich plumes and it says in german: "allein beim christus den ewigen freiheit"of course I dont know what it means, probably somehting like "belssed with christ we fight?" ok dont laugh at me too much...I tried, now I also found one for DETTMER, theirs is an older shield divided per fess in blue and gold. They cannot locate one for ROHLFES...THey have found ROLF and found one for ROHL but they cannot locate anythign further so is it possible were not tottaly german at all? possibly dutch or polish or perhaps russian? just immigrated from one part to the other in europe??
Email me please with your new mail @ [email protected], thanks Dirk...
Ellie
