Hi Tom and Werner,
There was a Joseph Feldmann born in Holdorf on October 25, 1830. His
parents were Johan Henrich Feldmann and Catharina Völkerding.
My Feldmans came from Sierhausen (Damme) and married into Holdorf families
so I may have more information in my research logs. I'll try to check
this weekend.
It looks like you may have a match.
Good luck,
Don Meyer

Hello Tom, I'm again.
The emigration records of Damme listed:
- Josef Feldmann, emigrated from Holdorf 1850
Also the Census at 1900 shows 1850, his wife came over from Hannover 1854.
At the Census 1880 is he 51 years old(*1829), but the Census 1990 shows
born Octob. 1830, his wife May 1828.
I have not access to Holdorf record. Maybe you check the church records
via LDS. The Holdorf church book started 1827, before parish Damme.
I could not find a passenger list.
Good luck,
Werner Honkomp
