AMES, Joy
P.O. Box 1728, Thousand Oaks, California 91358- USA
eMail address: polarbear3@earthlink.net

I am looking for birthplace of Heinrich Jakob SCHULZE born 23 March 1809 in the Kingdom of Hanover. His obituary stated that he was born at Luther, but his brother, H.D. William SCHULZE's (born 23 July 1822) obituary states that the town is spelled Luter. Since old newspapers make so many errors, I am not sure if the birthplace should be Lutter, just north of Hannover city, or something else. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Vielen Danke.


BANKS, Jo
eMail address: josiebanks@aol.com

I am searching for the family of Ulrich WESTENDORF, born 15 February 1819 at Soegel, Hannover. He immigrated to St. Louis, Missouri and then to Davenport, Iowa about 1850 before marrying Fredereka LAMPING of Dinklage, Oldenburg. I am also searching for Anna Margaretha SAND was born 20 May 1830 at Flechum, Hannover to Bernard SAND and Anne BRINGMAN. She immigrated to St. Louis, Missouri aand Davenport, Iowa before 1 Feburay 1852 when she married Johannes Bernard RABELING of Anholdt, Holland at St. Louis.

I am looking for family still in Hannover or Germany of Friedrick WOCKNER born circa 1810. He was a shepherd. His father was Christopher WOCKNER and mother was Caroline. Frederick and his wife, Christine (maiden name may have been HOLMEN), and children immigrated to Australia on the ship "Aurora" in 1855. They were Lutheran. The spelling variants that I know of are WOCHENER, WOCHNER and WOCHNA. As far as we can tell they are the only WOCKNER's to ever immigrate to Australia as all records (births, deaths and marraiges) link back to the same family. The only WOCKNER spelling of the name now appears to be singular to Australia. And yet Frederick and his wife and children could all read and write. This is how the name appears on the shipping list. The other spellings all appear to be from America.


BUSBY, Shannon
eMail address: buzclan@megsinet.net

I'm searching for the families of van ENGEN, ZWIERS, ALBERS, BOUWERS and PETERS. Fennegien ZWIERS (born about 1780 at Laar, Hanover, Germany) married first Harm van ENGEN (born 1774) about 1800 in the Hanover region of Germany. They had 4 children: Berend, Swaantje, Jenne and Hendrikji. Berend had a son named Harm born in 1834 who inherited his families estate of Woeste House at Emlenkamp, Hanover. After Harm died, Fennegien married Geert ALBERS (her father was Teunis, mother unknown) born 19 January 1792 at Sleen, Drenthe, Netherlands. They married in 1816 and had two children. another Harm born 1820 and Hendriki orn 1823 died 1824. The Harm of Fennegien and Geert somehow inherited the Woeste House estate and disposed of it about 1851 and then relocated to Coevorden, Netherlands where his four children were born. I'm descended from his son Jan Hendrik van ENGEN born July 25, 1857 in Coevorden and married Susanna BOUWERS (born 1861 in Oosterhesselen) in 1885 in Oosterhesselen. They had 4 children together, 2 born in Oosterhesselen, and the other two born in Orange City, Iowa. Susanna died and Jan then married Josephine Fenestra de JONG and had 10 more children. I'm interested in finding out more about the parents and siblings of Geert ALBERS, Feengien ZWIERS and Susanna BOUWERS plus anything more about the van ENGENS as related to this family line. Thank you,

I am looking for the parents and the town of birth for Mary DIEDERICH (or DEDERICH). She was born in May of 1876 in Hannover, Germany. I do not know if this is the town of Hannover or the Kingdom of Hannover. She immigrated to the United States in 1892. This information was obtained from her Catholic church parish in Pennsylvania and from the Pennsylvania Census, and also from a birth certificate of one of her sons. In America she married Joseph YOCKEL (JOCKEL) in Pennsylvania in 1895. After her husband Joseph died, she married his brother Frank YOCKEL. In the old country, their name was spelled JOCKEL. I would appreciate any clues to how to research this surname. I have checked the LDS IGI for the appropriate dates and have found nothing.

My ancestors were Heinrich BOLLE (trader) and Frederica HARTMAN. They had two children - 1. Nicholaus Michael BOLLE, born around 1836 in Hannover, Germany 2. Heinrich BOLLE born around 1837 at Burgdorf, Hannover, Germany. Nicholaus and Heinreich (the two brothers) immigrated to Australia in the 1860s, but may have come via England.

DYMOND, Diane
eMail address: ddymond@i-is.com>

I am looking for the ARLINGHAUS family from the Dinklage area. I am not sure on the location for Henry BROXTERMAN, or Elizabeth BUNGENER. All of the above were born around 1820-1825 in Hanover. I have some HASEMEIERS from Lohme by Steimbke, Nienburg but have not been able to locate exactly where that is. I am looking for John H. Hasemeier born at Gesmold, Hannover February 10, 1823. He immigrated to America in 1842. I understand there was a St. Peters Catholic Church at Gesmold but have not been able to find any records.


FABRI, Patricia TIEMANN

John Wilhelm TIEMANN emigrated to America with others from Osnabruk in Hanover, Germany, leaving on the 28 April 1834 and arriving at New Orleans on the 26 June 1834 according to records in Warren county, Missouri. He was born on 13 May 1806. He was married to Catherine WESTMEYER, born about 1809 in Hanover. I do not know what ship they arrived on.

FISCHER, Fred

eMail address: FISCHERFK@aol.com
(Protestant)

I am seeking information on the parents, siblings or other ancestors of John George FISCHER (probably Johann Georg) born about 1834. He listed his birhtplace as "Hanover" Germany and his occupation as "druggist" on my grandfather's birth certificate and that he was 44 years of age in May 1878. He married Bertha Douglas WRIGHT at Petersburg Illinois in 1869. His children were raised in the protestant denomination but I have no other details on his birth religion.


FOCK, Erick
Canberra, Australia
eMail address: ericfock@webone.com.au

My grandfather, Heinrich Diedrich FOCK, was born in Hanover, 14 March 1850. He immigrated to Australia, and it is thought t he arrived in Australia in 1868. His parents are shown as Heinrich Henning FOCK and Katrina BORGHARRSEN. He had a brother Rudolph FOCK, who was an engineer in Hannover. A letter from Rudolph to Heinrich in 1910 suggested that Rudolph was involved with the invention of the "Safety Gas Syphon " which we think is the "Lavatory S-Bend". The heading of the letter stated the the invention was patented in all major states. He made mention that "Hans" had been confirmed at Easter, 1910 but whether that was a son or grandson, we do not know. I am looking for information, please.


GARD, Dorothy J.

I am searching for the parents and siblings of Conrad HARMS (HARMES) born 18 October 1830 at Altenmarhorst, Twistringen, Hannover, Germany. I do not know when he immigrated to America (I would like to learn this also) but I do know he signed his letter of intent to become a us citizen at Lancaster, Pennsylvania in 1852. He became a citizen there in 1856. He was married in 1857 to Dorothea HEUBSCH at Columbia, Pennsylvania.


GERDING, Eduardo C. Dr.
Argentina
eMail address: gerding@intramed.net.ar

I am searching for my ancestor Eduard Adolph Friedrich GERDING from Wins an der Aller who immigrated to Argentina in 1830. There are no registers of his entrance to the country. I do know that he married Mrs. Rosa HARGREAVES in 1842. The Niedersachsischer Landersverein fur Familienkunde told me that probably that GERDING was born at Winsen / Aller on 15 March 1817 in whose case his parents could have been Christian GERDING, born at Dushorn on 11 February 1782 and who died at Winsen 29 June 1826. He was "Kgl.Hannov.Holzkommisair" at Winsen. He married 7 June 1805 with Dorothee Sophie Caroline HOLZMANN, born at Winsen 24 December 1785 (died about 1835). It seems my family's origin took part at Vehs near Quaquenbruck. I found as well that in a web called Hannover Farms there is a microfilm from a farm which belonged to the GERDINGS. I would like to certify through you that those are real my ancestor's father an all information related with the GERDINGS. Any information will be of an utmost help.


HANNA, Mark E.
eMail address hanney@gte.net
(Roman Catholic)

I am searching for any information on the family of Johann Heinrich von THUN. Johann was born in Hannover 14 September 1863 to Heinrich von THUN and Elizabeth HOLTEMAN. He was of the Roman Catholic faith. Johann immigrated to the United States, arriving 6 May 1891. There is no evidence that any other members of his family immigrated at that time. After his arrival, Johann married Emma POLANZ (born Prussia). He died at Cleveland, Ohio 11 November 1909. On his naturalization application, Johann listed "Hannover" as his place of birth. I am not sure if this referred to the province or city. Can someone direct me to resources where I might find more information about this family? I am especially interested finding if there were other members of this family and the birth and death dates of Johann's parents. Family legend is sparse although there is a story that Johann's grandmother was somehow connected with "Court", at least as late as the 1860's. Any advice / comments / direction would be greatly appreciated.

I am searching for the birthplace of John T. POLING / POELING, born about 1831. United States census records show his birthplace as Hannover, Germany. He married Mary WILKIN, born about 1840, also in Hannover, Germany. They were married about 1860 and immigrated to the United States in 1860. Their first child was born in 1861 in Wisconsin. I do not know if they listed Hannover the city or Hannover the Province. They were Roman Catholic.

I am looking for more information for Johann Frederick PLUNS (PLUNZ), born 11 November 1805 at Krummendeich, Hannover and died 12 January 1860 (place unknown) and for Anna SCHUMACHER, born 1 February 1815 at Oderquard, Hannover and died in 1895 (place unknown). I cannot find Krummendeich or Oderquard on any map dated prior to World War I. I would also like any family history connected to them such as their parents.

Their children were: 1. Anna Sophia Schumacher PLUNS born 5 December 1842 at Oderquard, Hannover and died 13 May 1928 at Yacolt, Washington, U.S. She married Carl August Frederick Wilhelm SCHRODER 3 November 1868 and had one child named Charles who died about 1923, I believe at San Francisco, California. Anna Sophia also married Carl Frederich KOSCHNITZKI 1 February 1873 and he was born at Schillingsfelde, Poland and migrated to Germany ("rumor" is the name was originally von KOSCHNITZKI). If anyone knows where Schillingsfelde is or was (supposedly near Danzig), I would appreciate information for that town also. This family immigrated to U.S. 1 May 1901 from Hamburg. Their children were Albert Joseph Christian KOSCHNITZKI, John Wilhelm Heinnrich Theodore, Jonni Frederick Carl, Anne Marianna Sophia Maria, Carl August, Henrich and Marie. Anyone interested in more information on KOSCHNITZKI (now KAY), I'll be more than happy to share information. 2. Katherina Margretha PLUNS 3. Meta Marie PLUNS SCHLICTING 4. Anna Elize PLUNS REEPER 5. Johann Frederick Wilhelm PLUNS 6. Emma Henrietta Elenor PLUNS OMLAND

PENTECOST, Emily M.
eMail address: emixpen@hopper.net

John Henry (Johann Heinrich ?) BASENBERG, Sr. immigrated to the US, probably through the port of New York, between 1830 and 1865. His wife was Dorthea. (No birth or death dates for either of them.) I know nothing of their religious preference. They brought two sons, both born in Hanover, Germany: Frederick, born October 1825, and John Henry, Jr., born 11 January 1830. John Sr. and Dorothea are buried at Wheatfield Cemetery in Niagra county, New York.
Frederick and John Henry, Jr. were married in New York and had children born in Buffalo. Frederick's wife is unknown. John Henry, Jr. married Mary SCHWIN, born 3 June 1843 in Hanover. In the mid-1870's, the two brothers and their families immigrated to the new German settlement in Alabama that was started by Col. Johann C. Cullmann. Since the BASENBERG brothers were born in Hanover, I assume that their father may have been also. I am looking for any listing for BASENBERG; either a passenger list, church record, registration, anything.

I am looking for information for Lena MELCHING who was born 28 August 1857 in Hannover, Germany. I believe the family were Lutherans. Lena was married in 1881 at Steubenville Ohio. I would appreciate any information anyone might have.


STROMBECK, Corey Cale
eMail address: cstrombeck@rivercto.net

I am looking for birth, marriage, or confirmation records for the following people: William STROMBECK, born about 1808 in Hannover, Germany; Sophia STROMBECK, born about 1801 in Germany (William's wife). Their children were born in Hannover: William STROMBECK, born about 1833; Louisa STROMBECK, born about 1835 and Henry STROMBECK, born 3 March 1839. This family immigrated to the United States in the 1840's to Kosciusko county and Elkhart county Indiana. They followed his brother, Charles STROMBECK (born 16 March 1806) and his wife Ann Elizabeth Hillabold STROMBECK (born 11 May 1818). They were both born in Germany and immigrated to Ohio first and then on to Indiana. I have heard a story about Charles immigrating with two other cousins and then sending for his brother, WIlliam. One of them left a port in the Netherlands. I don't have a record of where either of them arrived in the United States. The other could have left from Germany. I would like to find out if there are records of the first family's birth or confirmation or the marriage of William to Sophia.


WOODALL, Cheryl
eMail address: jcjets@juno.com

I am researching my HAUSCHILD ancestors. I knew they were in New York City, New York in the 1860's. I recently obtained church marriage records showing they came from Hannover, Germany. Heinrich HAUSCHILD, born in 1816 in Koenigreich Hannover, jt.Durango, Mexico (I am not sure why reference to Mexico!). He married 22 June 1844 to Irene NICKOLD of Monmouth, Stante, Main, age 25 years. The marriage was at Saint Matthew's Lutheran Church, New York City, New York.

Johann Friedrich HAUSCHILD, born 1807 at Buchholz, Amt Rothenburg, Hannover. He married 23 September 1845 to Sophia Maria SEILING. Their marriage took place at Saint Matthew's Lutheran Church, New York City, New York. Sophia Maria SELING was born in 1814 at Lohe, Amt Neinburg, Hannover. What does the word "Amt" mean? I would like to find more of their family from Hannover. I would like to correspond with anyone researching the HAUSCHILD, NICKOLD, or the SEILING names. If you have any information on these names I would also appreciate hearing from you. Thanks.
