Charbonier or Schanbonier

Marilyn,

I have the spelling possibly 2 ways. Marriage certificate says Charbonier,
but family has suggested it could be Schanbonier, just started this line so
am not sure.

She was born 14 April 1841 Hanover, Appershausen, Germany, came to this
country about 1857, she came alone and went to work for a women in NY. She
cried every night because she was so homesick.

She married Henry Frederick Blume, they lived in Oak Park, IL for a time, and
later moved to Berlin?Otoe Nebraska.

Henry was also born in Germany, 22 April 1836, but do not have a clue as to
where he was born.

And I realized as I watched my message go off the computer screen--I left the
"h" out and spelled it Carbonier. Sorry. Yes, if she was born in Germany and
married a German man, it's unlikely she's French. Any information on her and
her husband's death certificates? I've struck out 100% with those in my own
family, but others have had success.

Good luck
Marilyn

I could find no "Appershausen" in Hannover or surroundings. Everything starting
with "App..." is anywhere in the south. I suggest you try to find your anchestor

in 27239 A b b e n h a u s e n, which is part of Twistringen. There is a Ltherian

and Catholic church. I give you both adddresses:

Lutherian: Evangelische Gemeinde, Mrs.Dorothea Haspelmath-Finalli, Pastorin,
Bahnhofstr.44, 27329 Twistringen, Tel, 04243 / 3969

Catholic: Katholische Pfarr�mter, Am Kirchhof 7, 27239 Twistringen, Tel. 04243 /
1879

I forgot, that is in the former Kingdom of Hanover, about 50 km south of Bremen

Hope that will success Hans Peter Albers

Some additional information: There are a lot of "Blome" but no "Blume" in
Abbenhausen, I found 36 still living People with Surname "Charbonnier" all over
the country, even some two or three in Town Hannover. Interested ? H. P. Albers
