Re: Theodor Hattorff (Cactus Flower)
Hi Barbie
Thanks for your thoughts. Yes i have been trying now to search for Labuhn.
Of course you know about the misspellings in the index. I wonder what
misspellings we will find for Labuhn ...... Lebuhn, Lebun, Lebum??? I have been
trying to look for POMMERN. Its unbelievable i have been changing my search
criteria to POM* and then i found Pomern, Pommnern, Pommeraiana not to forget all
variations with PAM, PUM and even PIM.
The idea to look for a eastern version for Theodor is not so good. Even
today Pommern is a part of Poland .... at his time this was a part of Germany and
nobody did use names for kids that would sound EASTERN. His family must have
been coming from the Kingdom of Hannover one fine day in the eastern Part of
Germany.
So i think i will never find him in the shiplist.
Have a fine day
Armin
Dear Armin,
I didn't mean that his parents would have given him an eastern name...but that
the clerk documenting ship record may have.
Well anyway... Another reason for suggestions is:
Minna Hattorff Ethnicity: Freestate of Danzig, German Last Place of Residence: Danzig, Freestate of Danzig ***(Today Gdansk)Date of Arrival: Dec 01, 1923 Age at Arrival: 73y <1850> Gender: F Marital Status: M Ship of Travel: Estonia Port of Departure: Danzig**** Manifest Line Number: 0006 Additional Information Birthplace - Labun Destination - Chicago, Illinois **********

Dear Armin,
Came upon in the online Illinois Death Index. Of course this Theodore if age is correct in the index..would have been born circa 1837. And of course the surname is different but I think would appear similar to Hattorff in hand scribe records.
