Linnewever / Lebbink - Gelderland
Hello,
I have been researching my gg grandfather's family line without much
success.Herman Linnevers came to America in 1852 on the South Caroline
from Rotterdam to New York with his wife Maria Lebbink.The surname
Linnevers does not exist in Netherlands today.I have come across the
surname Linnewever(s) from Elburg in the International Genealogical Index
from the LDS, but could not find his family.I can only assume that his
name was Americanized to Linnevers from Linnewevers.I believe that he came
from Gelderland province since all of the Dutch families that he lived near
in America were from Gelderland.These families were Grotenhuis, Hasselo,
Nijland, and Plekenpol.
Herman was born in 1823 and died in Cleveland, Ohio in April 1908.His
occupation was a cooper and had a business with Bernardt Rolder.Herman and
Maria had six children - Wilhelmina, Maria, Johanna, Hendrika, Jan, and
Josephine.
I was wondering if anyone could give me some advice or information.
Thanks in advance,
Tom
