Subject: JOOSTEN surname from Schleswig
Date: Sun, 1 Dec 1996 11:12:52 -0500


Jakob JOOSTEN, *25 Feb 1870 in Schleswig, Germany, the son of Jakob
JOOSTEN, *14 Apr 1844 and his wife Maria HANSEN, *20 Aug 1844 in
Schouenthal (?). Jakob (Sr.) JOOSTEN's parents were Nicolas JOOSTEN and an
unknown mother. This information is from Jakob JOOSTEN (Jr's) death
certificate in the State of Nebraska in the USA.

Maria HANSEN's parents were Nicola HANSEN of Schouenthal and his wife,
Maria POOCK of Cloppeluck (?). Maria and Jakob (Sr.) JOOSTER arrived in New
York on 28 Feb 1874 with their three children: Anna, age 6 yrs., Jacob
(Jr.) age 4 yrs. and Nicolas age 11 months. They came to NY from Hamburg on
the ship Hammonia.

I have checked the IGI's and the other LDS-FH Library "Family Search"
resources and can not find any information related to the above family. I
also have not been able to locate the villages/cities of Schouenthal or
Cloppeluck. I have also checked several online surname d'Bases with on luck.

Is there anyone research these family surnames or that can help me with the
location of these two villages?
