The Bullwinkel Farmstead in 1982
A Bullwinkel family held the lease on the Watermill at this site until 1854

It is situated in the hamlet of Bullwinkel and the nearest Church (Lutheran)  is Hambergen, in the area south of Bremerhaven

Now think about where your ancestors said they were from? Did the Immigration Clerk or Census taker write "Hamburg" when the person said Hambergen? Other villages in the vicinity include Wallhofen, Wohlthofen, Lubberstedt, Heissenbuttel, Vollserode and Hamberger Moor
