Talk:Duchess of Oldenburg (apple)

Source of name
I have a family genealogy document pertaining to the Millers who came from Oldenburg and settled in the Susquehanna River that explains the name of the Duchess of Oldenburg apple variety. It is primary research so I can't add it to the article, but I thought I'd mention it here. Maybe someone can find a RS to substantiate it.

"The people of Oldenburg... were in a small section with the North Sea on their north and surrounded otherwise by the German kingdom of Hanover. It was close to the Spanish possessions in the Netherlands and they were repeatedly overrun in the war of the Spanish Succession.  In 1703 Oldenburg went under the rule of Denmark, and all the Oldenburgers who could finance it went to America.  Father and Aunts... all agreed that our earliest American ancestors came from Oldenburg and they knew of many kindnessess from the Duchess, the memory of which had been handed down in the family.  A new strain of apple trees was developed by our family in Ohio, and named the Duchess of Oldenburg.  Both [aunts] often spoke of those apples with affectionate longing." - From "Our Miller Family in America", by James A. Miller. Coastside (talk) 21:25, 26 August 2022 (UTC)
