I doun't believe it, because Steinfeld and around 98% catholics on this time and Ostfriesland and Holland mainly lutherans. It could only be, that a Böckmann go from Steinfeld to Holland as season worker (Hollandgänger).

>> Hello!

>> I¹m interested in tracing  the family of my gg-grandfather Johann Josef
>> Boeckmann who was born in  Muhlen, Herzogthun, Oldenburg, the 16th of
>> June,
>> 1855,  and came  to America in 1881 where he married my gg-grandmother in
>> 1882 and  settled in Connecticut.

>> All that I recall having been told by my  grandmother is: that her
>> parents
>> had met aboard his father¹s ship  where he was a crew member when she was
>> emigrating from Halle/Leipzig;  that Josef was the youngest of 11
>> children
>> and had a brother,  Clemence, a cigar manufacturer, another brother
>> Werner
>> and one sister,  Rosa; and that Josef¹s father was captain of his own
>> ship
>> and sailed  regularly to Cuba and America bringing many immigrants; as
>> well
>> as a  vague recollection of a story that a brother of Josef¹s was
>> murdered
>>  in
>> Baltimore supposedly for a diamond he flaunted and the bag of gold  that
>> he
>> carried!

>> So far I have not been successful in  finding either of my
>> gg-grandparents
>> on
>> a passenger list nor a  Boeckmann listed as the master.

>> Thank you so much if anyone would  have any information about this family
>> ....
