RESEARCHERS: Charles Steven Adair, R Both and others who have this emigrant in their WorldConnect databases (sometimes as Brockman)
SOURCES: Information about Anna Gesina was known from family research and from the book Auswanderungsliste fuer die fruehere Pfarrgemeinde Twist in den Jahren 1838 - 1910 nach Amerika which gave her birthdate as Dec 14, 1834. Twist parish records were checked and a corresponding entry found there for Anna Gesina a couple of weeks later than the date given in the Twist book. The parents' names as noted above were taken from that record. The marriage date is from Dutch records and is about 3 months earlier than the date given in the Twist book. Death information was taken from a family history. The Twist book listed one child born in 1863 in Holland, but family history and censuses list a child with the same name born 1867-68 in Holland. It is not clear if these were references to the same child or to two different children. Information about the other children was mostly from a family history.

SOURCES: Anna Maria’s date of birth was known from several sources although the year was wrong (1832.) A family researcher in the Netherlands supplied the correct date of birth and the parents’ names. Her death information was taken from a family sketch. The year of emigration and information about the children was from the book Auswanderungsliste fuer die fruehere Pfarrgemeinde Twist in den Jahren 1838 - 1910 nach Amerika. The place of birth for all but the youngest of the chidlren was not mentioned but probably, for at least some of them, it was Nieuw Schoonebeek, Holland (parish before 1850  in Twist, Emsland.)

They were added at the end of census (emigrated in 1840)
SOURCES: Herman Heinrich's approximate date of birth was known from his age on the passenger list of the ship Johan George and on the Father Helias census. An entry was found for him and his family in the book Auswanderungsliste fuer die fruehere Pfarrgemeinde Twist in den Jahren 1838 - 1910 nach Amerika which gave his parents' names and listed birthdates for all of his children and said Herman Heinrich was from Schwartenberg and his wife from Lindloh, both in Ruetenbrock parish. His birth/baptism record was not found in Ruetenbrock but was found in the neighboring parish of Wesuwe.
It appears that the family either moved away from central MO before 1850 or all members of the family except daughter Angela died before the census of that year. There is a gap of several years in the Father Helias' death records in the late 1840s so the fate of this family may never be known with certainty.
