Hello.
As I am new to this list, I would like to post the branch of my family for
which I am seeking information.
John (Johan) A. (possibly H.) Bockerman was born in Westphalia.
Sometime after 1840, he emigrated to the United States and settled in
Burlington, Iowa. In 1855, he married Catharine Louise Sanders (born in
Hanover, Germany). They had several children. John died in 1899 in
Burlington. Catharine died in 1922, also in Burlington.
I do not know Bockerman's birthdate or anything about his German family.
Can anyone out there help?
Doug Drowley
