Hello Fran Hill,
I have some records, I will send directly to you address.
Werner Honkomp

> I am searching for information on my German ancestors, the Trenkamps and
> Hussmanns.  My great, great grandfather Franz  (or Francis, my namesake)
> Trenkamp was born around 1820 in Oldenburg.  His older brother, Clemens
> (probably Clemens Augustus) Trenkamp was born around 1816.

> I have found both of them at ages 17 and 21 respectively arriving in New
> York City on a ship called the Constitution on December 30, 1837.  The
> ship sailed from Bremen, Germany.   14 years later, my GG grandfather
> Franz/Francis marries Catherine Mary Elizabeth Hussmann on the 17th of
> May, 1851  in the presence of Louis Hussmann and Clemens Augustus
> Trenkamp, Witnesses, at the Church of St. Nicholas,  2nd Street, NYC.

> Catherine Mary Elizabeth, who went by Elizabeth, was also born in
> Oldenburg, in Lohne, about 1829.   At some point after their marriage
> Franz/Francis and Elizabeth settle in Milwaukee, WI.  Their children and
> grandchildren marry into other immigrant German families--the Gluabitzes,
> the Schellings, the Forrers, etc. and most remain in Milwaukee for 2-3
> generations.

> I would be very grateful for any information or suggestions as to how to
> identify any additional members of the Trenkamp and Hussmann families in
> Germany.  I remember my grandmother Anella Trenkamp Forrer telling me that
> our family had a farm in the area of Oldenburg for nearly 450 years, but I
> do not know if she was referencing her father's side of the family
> (Trenkamps) or her husband's side (Forrers/Schellings).  I know that she
> corresponded with German "cousins" in German  well into the 1960s.  I
> don't have a lot of information that might be of interest, but I do have
> an old family photo of the Trenkamps, most likely taken in Oldenburg,
> which I will happily share digitally.

> Many thanks,
