Re: Kalkmann and Holtmann families

Dear Hans Peter and Barbara and the list in general:

I'm quite overwhelmed by your speedy responses. Heinrich Kalkmann and Margretta Holtmann did in fact emigrate on the same boat but whether they knew each other before they left Germany or only met on the ship I have no idea. I'll keep on slogging away at the puzzle but in the meantime, thank you very much for the good suggestions.

Hello Margot,
       If you haven't looked for Kalkman on the www.emslanders.com yet,
please do. There is a Johan Heinrich Kalkman listed born in 1824. There is
a note that he is listed with Marg. Holtman on the ship in 1856. Johann
Heinrich comes from the town of Herssum, parish Holte. That has to be your
ancestor, doesn't it? Herssum is north of Holte, which is northeast of
Haselünne and a little west of Löningen. I think that's it!
