Peter Jacob Peters, the grandson of Swenn & Anna (Staeben) Peters, married Anna Michaelsen in St Nicolai Church, Wöhrden and they had 3 daughters (Bertha, Anni, Martha) and a son (Herman). Pastor Dietmar Gördel, the current Pastor of Wöhrden, delivered this pair of photos to Australia in February 2003. Just prior to departing Germany, he had inquired of the church elders if they knew of any Stebens descendants. They did and the photos were sent as proof and gift. So who is Peter Peters? He is believed to be the great-grandson of Frantz Hinrich Stebens and Cathrin Rheder. Frantz & Cathrin had 3 sons that lived to adult life and produced children, which have become the 3 New World Stehbens/Stebens clans. They also had 3 daughters who lived to marry and have children. The daughters were Anna, Christina and Cathrin. Anna married twice and one of her sons Jacob Peters had a son Peter Jacob Peters. [That means that Peter Jacob Peters is the 2nd cousin of Frank Henry Stebens (Davenport USA), and of Nicolaus Stehben (Clinton USA) as well as of Aussies such as Robert or Rudi or Edwin Stehbens, Wilhelm Andresen, Ernest Lister, or Thomas Strand.]
