On Tuesday March 14 2023, Noreen Crouse from the United States left the following message for Franz-Josef Bischoping:
"I am the daughter of Jerome Bischoping of Rush, New York. All of the New York Bischopings are my aunts, uncles, and cousins. We all are direct descendents of Anton Bischoping who emigrated to the United States in 1857 and settled in Webster, New York. There are over 200 of us that stem from Anton's family, in the United States. My husband and I are going to Europe in the near future and are interested in seeing the area of Arpe/Bad Fredeburg where Anton was from. You seem to live nearest to that area, I believe. I would love to know any additional information about our family connections in Germany. We will be traveling early June, 2023 (around the 6th of June, I believe.) My parents visited about 20 years ago and met with his cousin's wife and son in the Bad Fredeburg area. After trading letters for a few years, they did not hear from them, so not sure they still live there. Thank you and hope you are well. Sincerely, Noreen Bischoping Crouse."
Noreen Crouse left an e-mail address and a telephone number.
