A President in the Pedigree
By Hans-J. Oschmann
Translation by Dr Friedel Wehmeier of Germany
"Duederode. Why would Americans travel over the Pond to participate at the 950th anniversary of the village of Duederode? Quite easy, because their roots are here. Dr. Friedel H. Wehmeier, Edward D. Waymire and Peggy Stone Tegel presented the results of the genealogy of the Wehmeyer Family at the festivities on Saturday morning in form of a book with the title, "The Quest for John Rudolph Waymire" ("Die Suche nach John Rudolph Waymire").
Everything goes back to progenitor Johann Ludolf Wehmeyer, who in 1721 saw the light of day in Duederode. He emigrated with his family in 1753 to America, first walking seven days to Hamburg, followed by a two-month voyage on a sailing ship. The man from Duederode became John Rudolph Waymire. He had 15 children by his two wives, and over time more than 20,000 descendents have been born, those of today living across the width and breadth of the United States. No doubt, the most famous of these was Herbert C. Hoover, learned the participants of the festivity in the banqueting-barn of farmer Arend. He was none other than the American President from 1929 to 1933. |
