Hello Marlene,
I suppose Klaus` information refers to the article "Die Königlich-Schwedische
privilegierte Buchdruckerei in Stade - Elias Holwein und seine Nachfolger von
1651 bis 1848" published by Bernhard Wirtgen in the annual "Stader Jahrbuch
1959". Therein lots of members of the family Holwein are specified.
I do have that annual. Please advise details you want to know.
Kind regards
Albin von Spreckelsen
Hullo Albin,
Thank you for your kind offer. I have an ancestor Heinrich LIENAU who died
in Stade in 1677. I believe he was married to a Margarethe Bolst. Other
Lienau's I have are Christina born on 30 September 1741, Johann Lienau born
14 December 1669 and Johan Nicholas Lienau.
I think the Lienau family were also in Hamburg. I don't know much about
this Lienau family but am keen to learn more. Are there any Lienau's in
that book?
Another branch of the family who were in Stade are the family of Hinrich
Christoffer BRUNS. He firstly married Ilseabe Christina Heumann who died in
1789. After this he married Catharina Sussan Wohlers on 4 November 1790.
I do not know much about my BRUNS family and wondered if they might also be
mentioned in the Buchdruckerei in Stade.
I would greatly appreciate any information you might be able to gather from
the abovementioned book.
Kind regards
Marlene, Brisbane
