The Kathmann family originated in the Duchy of Oldenburg now northwestern Germany. They can be found in the villages of Hausstette and Carum. My great-great-grandfather, Clems August Kathmann came to the US in 1845 and settled in Quincy, Illinois were many Kathmanns still live. Joining him were brothers; Heinrich, Bernard and Georg; sister Margaretha, and neices Gerturd and Katherina. the sister married a man named H B Geers and remained in Quincy. The neices married men named Niehaus and Fenteicher. I believe the Fenteichers moved to Nebraska.
Since the Kathmann name is uncommon, I'm sure you are related to these people. I will check my records and see if I can find something on your ancestor. Do you know the wife's maiden name.
