Cuxhaven (not Cruxhaven)

Thanks, Now it is clear which Altendorf is the right one. But there is still the question about her place of birth: Altendorf is possible but at Geneanet and roglo.eu/roglo and at Leo van de Pas http://www.genealogics.org/getperson.php?personID=I00096669&tre... they all say: Emden. Maybe they copied from each other, but even some sisters/brothers of Auguste are marked to be born at Emden, too So what is right?.

Auguste was baptized 20/11/1759 at Osten. Copy of church record available via Ancestry. Can send you a copy of the record via email if you dont have a subscription.

Appreciate you asking about sources. Wish more people did that.

All the best, Hans
