Photos of "Popken Family Tour" 2011.
A true "Oldenburg-Nebraska" emigration story full of discoveries. Ken and Carol, Jim and Julie Popken with Ben found roots of the Popken, Wittes, Timmermanns and Scholes in Holle, Hude, Hatterwüsting and in the Oldenburg area. Manfred Mönning -again- joined the group as a local expert. Tour ended at Dresden, Lutherstadt Wittenberg and Berlin.
