Hello,
Is anybody out there related to the Barenkamp family? They came from the
Hannover area and traveled to New Orleans in the early 1800s.
Anna Catherine Barenkamp married James Clement Kathmann in New Orleans about
1840. Her sisters were named Theresa and Regina. I believe she had a
brother named Frank, also.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

There is a Barenkamp concentration in the Lingen area, now Emsland county.
The emigration book of the former county "Kreis Lingen" (catholic area) listed some Barenkamp, but not Anna Catherine.
It could be this:
Maria Catharina Barenkamp, born 31.Jan.1819 in Gross-Bawinkel, parish Bawinkel,
emigrated 1937.
Parents: Farmer Joan Hermann Barenkamp - Ana Maria Tebben.
Kathmann is a name of the catholic area Vechta in the Oldenburg province.
I hope it helps,
Werner Honkomp
Hello Suzanne,
On castlegarden.org (ship lists) there is a listing in 1837, Ship
Anna, for M.C. Barenkamp, age 18, female. No other Barenkamp at the same
time. Other Barenkamps arrived in different years. Four of them are women,
but not the names you mention. If you go to that website and run a search on
the name Barenkamp, you will see the others arriving in different years. I
thought your Anna Catherine may be Anna Maria Catherine Barenkamp, and she
dropped the Maria.
Were your family Catholic? I have found Barenkamp in some Catholic
records I have. Not Anna Catherine directly however. This would be in the
area called Emsland, close to the Ems river.
If you run a search here, you will find many Barenkamps from Baccum.
That is near Lingen, that Werner Honkamp mentioned.

The emigration lists for Osnabrück list these people, but not your
Anna Catherine. They are all from Baccum.
