Friesian genealogy is its own animal. A part that many non-Friesians struggle with is that from a certain timeframe on the surnames are patronymic.
Some sources that might be useful for you:
The first link is the main website and database for genealogy purposes in Germany, all volunteer-driven. Consider uploading your tree to gedbas.genealogy.net in the hope of connecting with others who research the same family.
http://www.auswanderer-oldenburg.de/
I did a quick search, is this person part of your tree?
http://www.auswanderer-oldenburg.de/getperson.php?personID=I24087&tree=Auswanderer
And this is Hermine Carls nee Tapken: http://www.auswanderer-oldenburg.de/getperson.php?personID=I91851&tree=Auswanderer
Other emigrants from the parish of Bockhorn: http://www.auswanderer-oldenburg.de/showsource.php?sourceID=S746&tree=Auswanderer
It is a website of volunteers who transcribe information of the few surviving census records in Germany and especially Northern Germany along the coast. As a non-member you have to wait 15 seconds before you can start a search, you can see the countdown in the screen. (Datenbank = database) The transcription is not complete and won't be for many years, but records get added frequently, so check back regularily. They also have a forum where you can post and ask whether records exist for the places you are looking at and whether anybody is working on it. (Again, it is all done by volunteers.)

The construction of Wilhelmshaven led to lots of upheaval in the general area. Farmers who used to live in the area that became Wilhelmshaven moved away, often using the money they got for buying farms within a 30 mile radius. This was a major push factor for emigration from the general area, those who wanted to sell their farms and hop on a ship overseas or move east suddenly had solvent buyers. At the same time the construction site drew a lot of workers from all over Prussia, many of them male and single. The construction site was a bit like a wild-west gold mining town, really rattling things up in this area where things had a habit of changing very slowly.
It is "the" book to read if you are interested in Northern Germany, similarily to reading Gone With the Wind, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn as well as Uncle Tom's Hut when you are interested in the Old South of the USA.
There are two translations of this book available in English. I've been told the Denis Jackson translation from 1996 is better, this translation is titled "The Dykemaster".

But the kindle version of the other translation named "The Rider on the White Horse" is only 2 USD, so if you don't care for a few spelling errors you could get this.

However if you love to read for fun I would recommend picking up this collection of stories by Theodor Storm:
