Hello Gene
sorry to have taken so long to respond to your message, but I had some trouble with my e-mail and it took a while to recover.
I don't know if what I have is of much help to you, but there seem to be contradictions in that Nuremberg (Nuernberg) is in Southern Germany and Schleswig the town is in Northern Germany near the Danish border and in the broad vicinity of my mothers parents origin, which is Nordenham near Bremerhaven. Whether a relationship exists I don't know, but Onken, while not an overly common name in Germany is not unusual. If you have anything I can translate I would be happy to do that.
Best regards, and if you choose to respond I promise not to take so long to answer.
