Hello Listmembers,
I search for Bernard Heinrich BRANDKAMP, emigrated to USA about 1841 from Damme-Rottinghausen.
Can somebody check the Census 1850?
Thank you, Werner Honkomp
Hello,
A quick check of the 1850 census index does not find him. However, he may appear in the 1844 immigration index for Baltimore, with wife Elizabeth and Children Bernard, Heinrich, Joseph and Marianne. Their goal is Cincinnati, Ohio. Bernard and Elizabeth Brankamp are listed as dying of Cholera in August of 1849 in Cincinnati, in the Federal Mortality Tables for the 1850 census. That would explain why Bernard is not found in the 1850 census. I did find a Bernard and a Joseph Brankamp of the right ages living with two different German families in Cincinnati in the 1850 census. Perhaps this information explains what happened to the person you search for. I will send details to your email address.

Hello Paul,
thank you so much for checking the census index and other source.
The family you found are other persons, but interesting, I will save it.
I have this emigration notices at "Amt Damme":
Brandkamp, Bernard Heinrich bei Meyer auf dem Ohrde 1 person 1841 Rottinghausen
Brandkamp, Familie, dabei 3 Kinder unter 15, Landwirte - nach Baltimore 7 persons 1849 Rottinghausen
Brankamp, Bernd, mit Frau, 3 Kindern, Schwiegerm. Gertrud Siefke, bei Kolon Meyer 7 persons 1844 Nellinghof
The last family is what you found, but I search for the first person. I think they are related.
Thank you for help,
Werner
I found it on ancestry.com, a "for pay" site.
