I have a lot of information on the Johann Gottlieb Maves family with some from the Yoecks family. My gr-gr uncle, son of Gottlieb lived to be 102 and had a great memory. He was William and used Mews as his surname. His father-in-law was a german minister and he would not let them marry until he changed his name to the german spelling. His reason was that if there were an inheritance coming from relatives in Pommern, they would be unable to find him. His daughter in law gave me some information that supposedly came from the family bible and she said it was gotten from Carl Maves who was a minister. The bible gave all the names and birth dates of Gottlieb and Caroline's children. the last line said that they were from Neu Schoenwalde bei Dramburg in Kreis Regenwalde, Pommern. I have a map of the Kreis of Regenwalde that shows an area next to the border with Kreis Dramburg that is Neu Schoenwalde. It does not appear to be a village. It is just south of the village of Schoenwalde which is south east of Labes. I am willing to share what I have. My grandfather was Otto and he, his brother William and sister, Esther married sisters and a brother. Their father was Fred and mother was Amelia Lenke also spelled Lanke, Lankey, Lenkey, Lanky or Lenky. I am related to the California Maves and there are also relatives in Oregon and Washington from this family. Would like to fined out more on the siblings of Gottlieb and Caroline. Ruth
