Kreis Borken, Westfalen, Germany in the 1970s

Most of the photographs on this page were taken by David Nieland when he visited Germany several times in the early 1970s and met Nieland relatives living there. The photos include Ramsdorf, Sudlohn, Borken – all in Kreis (county) Borken in the Westfalen region. The churches in the photographs are St. Walburga Catholic Church in Ramsdorf an St Vitas Catholic Church in Sudlohn. Our immigrant ancestors, Henry, Anna and Angela Nieland were all born in Sudlohn, then later moved to Ramsdorf.
