Hello Vivian and everybody else who is searching for emigrants from Lippe
(-Detmold),
I am willing to do lookups in my two books about emigrants from Lippe, if
you send me detailed information about your families. Just a name is not
enough, I have to do much additional work then. Of course I give you the
names of all emigrants that seem to be connected to your anestors, so don't
fear that you do not get all the information that might be helpful. It might
take a few days until you get your response, because right now I am ill and
not able to work on my computer for a long time (some chronic infection with
terrible headaches, the blood test will show what it really is).
Please mark that Lippe (-Detmold) and Schaumburg-Lippe are different areas,
though there are some political connections in the past. So my emigrants'
list is not the same as that for the Schaumburg-Lippe area, and I don't
think that it's available on the Internet.
I will also send the address and instruction how to join the Lippe mailing
list in a separate message.
Now to Vivians emigrants:
Just as a general remark in the beginning I want to let you know that
Hasenj�ger was a common name in Bexterhagen (parish Sch�tmar, Lippe), and
that it is possible that the ancestors of your emigrant were actually from
this town.
There are not many Hasenj�ger entries in my book, so I give you all of them:
From the list with emigrants up to 1877:
Hasenj�ger of Bexterhagen (no first name given), soldier
emigrated on Feb. 21, 1846 to America
signature: 1554/22
Johann Friedrich Hasenj�ger of Lockhausen (parish Sch�tmar), Dienstknecht
(father: Johann Berend Hasenj�ger, Einlieger)
emigrated on Aug. 19, 1852 to America (obviously only the son)
Christoph Kamp or Kampe of Werl (parish Sch�tmar), Einlieger
with him:
his wife, her birthname is Hasenj�ger,
two sons and a daughter under age 14,
his father-in-law Bernd Hasenj�ger, Einlieger and widower
all of them emigrated on Aug. 1, 1854 to America
The original source of these three entries was this:
Akten des Amtes Sch�tmar "Auswanderungen 1824 bis 1877" (emigration files of
the Sch�tmar area 1824-1877)
It might be of interest to have a look on the originals if you are connected
to these families. It is possible that these emigration files contain many
details about the reasons for emigration and what the familes owned. The
emigration dates are the dates when the consent for emigration was given,
not the date when they actually departed.
The list with emigrants from 1878 to 1900 does not mention any Hasenj�gers.
I hope this helps you to find out more.
Uta
