BESTHORN, Mel
eMail address: MABesthorn@aol.com
I would like any information associated with BESTHORN, Hans Heinrich Christopher, born
27 February 1835 in Husum, Schlesvig/Holstein, Germany. He was married twice: first
time to VOSS, Magdalena Lucia on 26 April 1867 and second time (after his wife passed
away) to NISSEN or NISSMAN, Meta Maria, date unknown. She had previously been
married to VOSS, Hans Fredrich who had also passed away in the same time frame as Voss,
Magdalena Lucia. Thanks for any information that might be available.
FRIEDBERG, Dorothy L. HAMER
4226 West Congress, Chicago, Illinois 60624-2615
I am looking for disant cousins and others researching my maiden name of HAMER from the
Schonwalde, Schleswig-Holstein, Prussia. I found the birth date of my g-g-g grandmother
HAMER
in the LDS Family History Library records. Now to find the marriage records with the
correct first
names.

I am looking for information on Marie and Jorgen CHRISTIANSON who immigrated from
Copenhagen to Ellis Island, America in 1910 with three children: John Peter, Cacilia, and
Margaret
Marie. Jorgen was born 21 August 1855 and was marie's third husband. The children were
from
previous marriages. I need complete birth names to continue my search as well as resources
and
addresses.

I am looking for the birth place of my great grandfather, Heinrik (spelling?) Hansen
SCHMIDT, born Feb 8, 1860 in Denmark (according to his obituary). His obituary states
he came to the United States around 1882 and was a native of Denmark. My father told me
he didn't agree with the Kaiser's rule, so left Schlesvig/Holstein and came to US, changing
his name to Henry Hansen SMITH. He may have immigrated with his sister, Matilda
SCHMIDT (Smith), as she was mentioned in his obituary as a surviving sister living in
California at the time of his death, in March 1947. I believe he was a butcher in New York
for a short period after his arrival in the US. He then relocated to the Santa Cruz, California
area where he was a farmer and from pictures, it looks like quite the fisherman on his off
hours. I guess a more general question would be: Where would I begin to find such a
common surname (and first name for that matter), without knowing the exact date and port
of arrival in the US? Thanks for your time.
Webmaster's suggestion: Under the circumstances you describe, he probably emigrated
from the port of Copenhagen to New York (rather than from Hamburg or Bremen). Contact
the Danish Emigration Archives at Aalborg,
which has computerized these Danish emigration records. They will look up your ancestor
in them for a reasonable fee.

I am searching for more information and others researching the BOCK surname from
Wakendorf, Neumünster, BIEHL from Götberg, Neumünster, GERDTS
from Leezen, Segeberg and HAMER from Neversdorf, Segeberg Schleswig-Holstein. I have
written to
Neumünster about the Biehl and Bock families. My grandmoher, Margaretha Biehl
immigrated
to Westside, Iowa with her brother and all her sisters as well as both parents. I am also
trying to find
out when my grandfather William Bock, his brother Henry and his mother came to
California.
