Emigration Applications A Good Genealogy Source

Actually the site http://www.genealogy-sh.com/dithm/s.htm says only ten percent of those leaving this area of Schleswig-Holstein made the application. [ You'll have to forgive me, I can never spell that area of northern Germany. I should write it one hundred times, maybe then I will be able to do so.]

A good portion of the population that I am aware of in Clinton county and at the Dawson township area near Farnhamville were from this region. I happen to have a great cousin Verl Matthews who researched this family Nahnsen all back to Denmark holdings.
Other surnames of interest with the Nahnsen family are Hansen, Namanny, Petersen. The Carstensen family are also from there, who were one of the first group of founders of the St. Peters church of Farnhamville area in Iowa.

There are listings of surnames of Dithmarschen Emigration from Schleswig Holstein unless people left in the night, or for other reasons so they failed to fill the application to request permission to leave Germany. In other, words it's the good list, not the naughty list.

The link I have, happens to be the"SS". It's a good thing to search while watching some boring HDTV or waiting for your water to boil.
Whoops, I think, mine is going dry.

See you later.

I'll be back to share good news about the two Meyer men on Frisia of April 8, 1884 who were on the same ship as Grandpa Willie Meyer.

Genealogy and the surname Konau.

As promised, I am back. I just didn't say when I would be back, right? I know I said I would have something more on Wilhelm KONAU born 1859. But I am sorry to say, that I could not find that particular Wilhelm Konau who was traveling with the Seils, Warnecke, Schroeders.

What started me on the search is that I thought I saw the name in Iowa or by the Warnecke family in the Faribault county in Minnesota. When I went back to find it, I couldn't.

I had seen it on two passenger listings. Once it was misspelled KONAN and on another source copies of the passenger lists , it was correctly related as KONAU. We have been discussing the passenger list of 1883.

I looked again in census and there does seem to be very few there. At least not where I though I saw it before.

If I see it again on one of the census that I wanted you to see, I will come back and edit it in.


Here is the data where the name Konau appeared in my correspondence with the church volunteer. He gave me this record. Remember now, that we have this Meyer at Sammatz and Luhmann family lived there. You can click here and the title for the link where this is discussed.

Meyer record nr.31 /1849 Sammatz
MEYER, Wilhelmine Katherine Elisabeth.
Vater: Johann Heinrich M3YER Hsw. in Sammatz.
Mutter: Katharine Dorothea geb. BURMESTER geb. 6.juli.1849
Gev:
TAEGER, Dorothea Elisabeth, Hauslers wife of Nahrendorf
KONAU, Katherine Margareth

There is no data to link this Meyer or any of the other surnames mentioned in that record to ours yet.

Rugia passenger list 7.mai.1883 From Hamburg to New York.

Be sure to check the four pages of this Ship / Schiffe Passenger list of the names of the passengers on the ship Rugia. It might surprise you who was on the ship.

There were others from the same area, as well as near by Uelzen.

Link to the first page here and by clicking the title.
This list is donated by Ines Manhardt a member of
Immigant ships Transcribers Guild done 17June2004.
The stars often mean that they name has umlauts.
Which is the case for most these Or some other meaning.
A G. Lange died on ship.

I have been bringing up these particular passengers
and attempting to show where they settled.

I have talked about the surnames of Schroeder and Seil,
I will get to them again at a later time..

But first I would like to discuss
Passenger Konan below. 

434  Wilh.       Konan 24    m Shoemaker Hanover    

435  Anton       Dirschedt       41    m Shoemaker    Bavary

I posted  Sunday about the  Warnecke family living
in Clark township,
Faribault county Minnesota by 1900 Federal Census.
I had stated that
the Hamburg passenger listed two children in the same spot with
Johann and Mary Warnecke.  His middle name is Heinrich.
I guess the other child  Heinr. was there, I just did not
see Heinrich. age nine.
That Mystery  is solved
439  Johann  Warnecke   33 m Butcher Hanover U.St. E 2 intrans.
440  Marie   Warnecke   30 f wife  Hanover   U.St. E   intrans.
441  Heinr.  Warnecke   9  m child Hanover   U.St. E   intrans.
442  Emmi    Warnecke   7  f child Hannover  U.St. E   intrans.
443  Wilh.   Warnecke   2  m child Hannover  U.St. E   intrans.

Now were going to move along and look at the entry number
434 Wilhelm Konan age twenty four. On April tenth,2010,
I shared these names before, which I took from the
Hamburg Passenger list of ship Rugia. It lists this person
as Wilhelm Konau. I tend to believe the Hamburg list
is correct. I looked at the handwriting, and I agree that it
really should be Konau from Mucklingen.

I did find another passenger list in the year 1885 with
the name Wilhelm Konau at ancestry.com.
That Wilhelm Konau was from Pommoissel.
Wilh Konau Hamburg Passenger on date 19 Mrz 1885
[19 Mar 1885]
Estimated birth year: 1860 Age 25
Male or Mannlich
Residence: Pommoisel, Hannover
Occupation: Landmann
Ship Name: Moravia



Note: If you explore further at Ancestry.com into
the 1929 residence in Germany / Niedersachen.
Handbuch des Grundbesitzes im deutschen Reiche,
Band Hannover, 1929
There under the village Pommoissel entries is for the
man by name- H. Konau.
Others there were: Otto Bartels, Hch. Karstens,
Hch. Persiehl, Hch. Rosseburg,and Joh. Schlicht.
Looking Under Muecklingen, the name Konau is not present.
Nor is Schroeder or Warnecke or Seil.

I'll come back to this source another day.



On another post, I will get into a little more detail on this Konau / Konan who came to America in 1883.
