Hi Peggy, I have only been able to narrow my SCHADEs to Kur Hessen/Hessen Cassel. Johannes SCHADE immigrated in Apr 1857 with 2 other SCHADES, Conrad and George, presumably brothers but I haven't been able to confirm, and all were miners.
The DINGES were from Mittelbuchen for at least 3 generations then moved to Hanau (these are in the Hesse region). I understand that is not a common name in Germany although I have found many spelling variations. Jim.

My Schadegg line comes from Baden-Wuertemberg, Germany. Where does your line come from?
