I am looking for a link to the Brokops in Oldenburg between:
William Brokopp born Feb. 18th, 1846 in Nichikorvo or Bromberg, Married Christina [E?] Kietzke born Oct. 9th, 1850 in Prussia
John Brokopp Sr. born March 26th, 1844 in Nichikorvo, married Julianna Pankonin born June 10th, 1849
There is a sister, name and dates unknown in De. she married a Gustav [or Gustau] Singer in the USA.
Brokop in the USA is spelled Brockopp, Brockop or Brokopp. Brokopp is most common.
Wm. and John Brokopp settled in Columbia Co. Wisconsin, Cities of Fall River and Columbus
near Madison Wisconsin. There are some Brokopps in Minnesota also.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Hello Arlen,
a record at the Staatsarchive listed this:
Stellvertretungskontrakte zum Hebungsjahr 1859 (Representation contract):
Hornist Brokop, Ludwig Diedr. Reinhard, Jever (horn musician by soldiers?)
I tried to find any information via Jeverland list, but without susscess.
A list meber was so kind to sent this burrial notice:
Beerdigungsregister von Jever:
+ 2. 1.1864 Anke Brokop (oder Prokopp) geb. Luers, nachgel. Ww. des Schustermstr. B. hierselbst, Alter 68 J./ 2 M./ 9 Tg.. Der Ludwig Diedr. Reinhard B. könnte also ein Sohn sein.
Translation:
Burrial register of Jever.
died on 2.Jan.1864 Anke Brokop (or Prokopp) nee Luers,
widow of Shoemaker Brokop in Jever, age 68 years, 2 month, 9 days
(should be born 24.Oct.1796)
(the said Hornist Ludwig Diedrich Reinhard Brokop could be a son)
The Jever phone directory shows no any Brokop, but some in the town Oldenburg.
Regards,
Werner Honkomp
