Löwe

[Peter Löwe]

Hello from Germany,
I am searching for any information about the Löwenstierna(perhaps the  
name is written Löwenstjera) family in Sweden.
From our family tradition is known that the first ancestor (with  
family name LÖWE...) had come from Sweden. His origin was a noble  
Swedish family LÖWENSTIERNA. The reason and date for emigration from  
Sweden is unknown. I think that the time period of emigration from  
Sweden was approximately between 1630 and 1720. On internet I found an  
interesting page
(http://no.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trefningen_ved_Gjellebekk) where Oberst  
Dietrich Johan Löwenstierna is mentioned. Unfortunately the text is  
not available in English so I could understand only some words.
Does anyone have information on cv of Oberst Dietrich Johan Löwenstierna?
It would be really great, if you could help me to find out any  
information.
