Nieuw Schoonebeek became a parish ca 1850. After that date, persons born
there were no longer baptized in Emsland. Nevertheless, some emigrants born after 1850 in
Nieuw Schoonebeek who had parents or grandparents born in Emsland will be included on the
website.
Adorf in neighboring Grafschaft Bentheim was part of the (religious) parish of Twist,
Emsland
Persons born in Twist before 1799 were often baptized in Gross Hesepe, sometimes in
Meppen.
