De onderstaande vraag ontving ik uit Arizona, zijn er data en correcte namen te vinden van emigratie en geboorte van dit gezin?
Op 03-10 is deze vraag ook op Stamboomvragenforum geplaatst tot nu toe zonder resultaat.
Karl/Charles F. Caveman b: 1820-1822 Hanover, Lower Saxony, Germany
Hendrick/Henry Caveman b: 12 Sep 1825 Hanover, Lower Saxony, Germany
John Frederick Caveman b: 03 Jan 1928 Oldenberg, Lower Saxony Germany
Karl died at a young age so I don’t have any idea when he emigrated but the younger brothers emigrated between 1842 and 1843. I never found any emigration record. Their mother was here in 1860 and I have no idea when she emigrated because the early Census did not ask that question.
In the early years they spelled the name: Kavermann, Kaverman, Kaveman, Kaferman and
Later the names were Caveman, Cavemann, Caverman and even Caseman.
The parents as the sons remembered their names on the Death Certificate when they died –
So hopefully the informant was correct.
Johannes Hendrik Kaufman b: between 1792-1800 – that was my guess. I think he died and that is when the boys headed for America. The Kaufman also has several spellings.
Mary Elizabeth Pohlmann b: 1800 Oldenberg, Germany
She was Elizabeth Kaveman, age 60 (1800) born Oldenberg, Germany – living with son John Frederick and his family in the 1860 Census. No death record found for her but I have written to the cemetery where her son John Fred. is buried and I am waiting for an answer.
Karl/Charles F. Caveman – I guessed he could be Karl in Germany – other spellings. He was buried as Carl.
Hendrick/Henry Caveman – I guessed on the Hendrick too but there are other spellings.
John Frederick Caveman – he never changed his name on any record other than the surname.
Bij voorbaat dank
