I am still searching for dates. There were 4 children I think...Henry, Gertrude, William, and Charles. Henry died in 1958...my grandfather. I found some records through a convent on Gertrude. I cannot find a William or a Charles in Cincinnati, Ohio. William died around 1965 and Charles died at an early age according to convent records.

Hi: I spotted this while researching some Yosemite info. This is not my line but thought I would pass it along.

Found online at:
http://www.yosemite.ca.us/library/pioneer_cemetery/

VOLUME XXXVIII NO. 5
GUIDE TO THE PIONEER CEMETERY
By Lloyd W. Brubaker, Laurence V. Degnan and Richard R. Jackson

“A man who walked into the park in search of work was found lying under a tree sick and was removed to the army hospital, where he died on July 9, 1910. Little could be learned about him except that he came from Coulterville, California, and he was buried in the cemetery in Yosemite Valley. His name was Frank Bockerman.”

Re: Bockelmann in Diepholz Germany

Gloria_Wills — 2007-02-27 02:57:58Z

The Heinrich Bockelmann born in 1816 would not be correct. My g-grandfather was born Nov. 6, 1815 according to his headstone. I guess I'm still confused about locations. In census records he listed Oldenburg as hs place of origin. My g-grandmother was from Hanover. I understand both of these places can be both towns and regions. They married after they came to Texas so I have no idea if they met here or already knew each other before they arrived. I am hoping that if records for Henry Holle are found that maybe Louisa Holle will show up as his sister. I have ordered a film from the Family History Center that may show something on the Holle's. I really appreciate the checking you are doing.
Thanks,
Gloria

I'm searching for Heinrich Bockelmann from Oldenburg. In the process I went to Google (I think) and put in Bockelmann. I found a huge number of listings. But I did find that there is an inn in that area of Germany that belongs to some Bockelmann's. It is very old and I think it is still run by the family. You might check it out.

Bockelmann Family

Gloria_Wills — 2006-08-07 16:14:17Z

Karen,
There are a lot of different spellings for Bockelmann. My great grandfather, Henry, immigrated to Texas sometime around 1850. He married Louisa Holle in Washington County in 1852. They had a number of children, but only two sons. The oldest was Fred Bockelmann.He lived and died in Washington.The other son was Charlie. He never married. Fred was born Jan. 9,1857. He had a son named Ben, born Feb. 10,1891, a son named F.H.,born Mar. 9, 1892, Arthur B., born Mar. 20, 1901, Henry B., born April 1, 1882, Fritz,June 15, 1889,plus a bunch of daughters. I understand that Ben and another son moved to Turkey, Tx.I have no idea if any of the descendents moved out of the state.I can't find any of my relatives who are researching the family. I hope you have more success.

Fred Bockelmann

Gloria_Wills — 2006-08-07 16:14:17Z

We may be from the same family. My great grandfather was Carl Heinrich Bockelmann. He was born around 1816 in Oldenburg, I guess. The 1880 Washington county census had his age as 64 and that he immigrated from Oldenburg. He married Louisa Holle on Dec. 14, 1852. He is buried in the Salem Lutheran Cemetery at Welcome, Tx.They had a son named Fred who was born Jan. 9, 1857. Fred had a son listed as F.H. who was born Mar. 9, 1892. There are still a number of Fred's decendants living in the area south of Brenham, Tx.

Re: family-history-book founded

Gloria_Wills — 2006-08-07 16:14:17Z

My greatgrandfather was Carl Heinrich Bockelmann. He was born November 6, 1815. He married Louisa Holle in Washington County, Texas, in 1852. The cenus records say he was from Oldenburg. I would like to know if he is related to your family.
Thank You. Gloria

Re: Bockelmann in Diepholz Germany

Gloria_Wills — 2007-02-22 17:19:56Z

Heinrich F. Holle was born Feb. 16,1820 and died Aug.27, 1890. He is buried in the Salem Lutheran Cemetery in Welcome, TX.
I think my g-grandmother may have been his sister. Her name is Louisa (Holle) Bockelmann. She was born Nov. 24, 1829 and died Mar. 17, 1895. She is buried in McGregor, Tx. Thanks so much for checking on these. I have had a terrible time trying to figure out where Hannover and Oldenburg are today.

It includes baptism, marriages and death records. Hinrich Porth is the author / compiler / translator. My HILLMER, MEIER (MEYER) ancestors came from the area.

I am researching the Bockelmann family that were living in Ahlerstedt in the late 1700s/early 1800s. There may still be family there--they owned an inn. My direct ancestor is Claus Bockelmann, born in 1833 to Martin & Catherine Margarethe (Hauschild) Bockelmann. Claus emigrated to Cleveland, Ohio, in the late 1860s. I have some more information on this family, if anyone needs it, and I'm interested in contacting any relatives.

Henrich and Louisa had a daughter who married Fritz Witte.
They moved from Washington Co. to McLennan Co. settling in
McGregor. Here is a copy of her obit.
McGregor Mirror
Dec. 11, 1936.

Sophie Witte, age 82, resident of McGregor since 1885, died at her home Tuesday, December 8, 1936. Her husband, Mr. F. Witte (1844-1923), preceded her in death twelve years ago. Mrs. Witte was born in Independence, Washington Co., Tx. on March 19, 1854, the daughter of Henry Bockelman and Louise Holle, and married Mr. Witte at Berlin in 1873. Three children preceded her in death. Survivors include three sons, Fred, Willie, and Albert Witte, all of McGregor; five daughters, Mrs. Richard Amthor, Mrs. Ernest Luedtke, Mrs. Lewis Bischoff, Mrs. Walter Manske of McGregor, and Mrs. P. Goglin of Brenham. Burial was in McGregor Cemetery by Amsler Funeral Home.

crcottre — 2006-05-05 23:18:25Z

I am looking for ancestors of Mary Ann Bockelman, b. in Cleveland, OH 4 Aug 1870. I know through cemetery and obituary records that she had a sister named Catherine and three brothers: Fred, Herman, and Henry. Catherine never married and lived with their mother Anna up until Anna's death in 1924. I do not have any records to indicate the name of Anna's husband (father of these children). Census records indicate that the family originated in Germany (possibly Hanover) and immigrated to the US in 1868. According to census records, all the known children were born in Ohio, but birth records have not been found. The earliest census record I can find for them is from 1900. (The family name was spelled "Bockelmann" on the oldest records, but all the grave stones for them at Maple Shade Cemetery in Geaga County have it spelled "Bockelman." Not sure when the spelling changed.)

Mary Ann Bockelman's granddaughter still lives in the Cleveland area. Can you help me make a connection? I would appreciate any help you may be able to provide.

I can be reached at diantrace@yahoo.com or through the message board.
