SvenFirst big milestone for the #hollenkamp #namestudy on @wikitree- All catholic Hollenkamp births and christenings from #Ankum, Germany, between 1650-1900 have been added to Wikitree and most profiles have been connected to the oldest records available. Our next focus is to work on the US Immigrants and to link their descendants to the appropriate German line of ancestors. There is still three sponsored yDNA tests for any Hollenkamp interested in contributing to the research!
@edintone @genealogy @geneadons currently adding #Hollenkamp marriages from #Ankum to Wikitree. Found a case where the wife’s 1st husband died, she remarried, emigrated to US. Her 2nd husband died and she married again. 3rd husband was a widower with children; she had children from each husband. 1850 census: One last name like husband #2. The neighbours helped, too: they were a #hollenkamp third cousin. Power of a #OneNameStudy.
