The following message has been returned to me twice, so I¹m resending it to
this address too!

Hello Werner,

Thank you so much for your prompt reply, but I don't think your Joseph is my
Johann Josef. I had heard of your Joseph some years ago but the exact date
of birth and the fact that he was one of fewer children didn't coincide with
the little information that I have.

I've always wondered if there might not be a listing in the latter half of
the 1800s of residents of Oldenburg with their respective occupations and if
so, if gg-grandfather Böckmann, the sea captain, or his son, Clemence, the
cigar manufacturer, might be listed.

Rereading my original message I now note that I had mistakenly referred to
Johann Josef Boeckmann as my gg-grandfather when, in fact, he was my
g-grandfather. Just to set the record right!

Saludos,

Carola
