Good afternoon to all...
My only link to Hannover so far is a notation from the 1880 Federal Census showing that Albert CANANCAMP was from Hannover, Ger. According to said census he was born in approximately 1819. According to an index of Naturalizations, he immigrated to the US and settled in Ohio in 1842. I know he married Maria LAWRENCE in 1845 in Wayne County, Ohio, and there they remained until their deaths.
I have not been able to get a copy of his Naturalization papers yet, but at the same time have not located the port or ship he arrived on.
A few different spellings have popped up for this surname (Caincamp, Canaancamp) but my grandmother spelled it CANANKAMP. I realize that it was probably simplified from its germanic spelling, but does anyone recognize it or can suggest some other spellings?
Even by doing a general Google search I get less then 20 hits <g>
Thanks for the assist!
