Thanks Ruth, Please let me know if I misunderstand you. I'm just making a survey for Mike Brigham, and am unfamiliar with the evidence.
If you have three records showing parents of J.K.Fred Schoenrock, the Civil War vet, as (1) Michael Frederick Schoenrock & Johanna Caroline Frederika Bluhm (2) Christian Schoenrock & Johanna Roos & (3) Frederick Schoenrock & Susanna Eross-Gross-Roos, There are several possibilities: (1) records refer to different children named J.K. Fred Schoenrock, (2) the parents married more than once, or (3) the parents used different names at different times.
Even if Fred's father was named Michael Frederick CHRISTIAN Schoenrock, the mother has at last two surnames, as well as an excess of given names. Perhaps one was a second wife, or had been married previously to a Bluhm or a Roos-Gross. Have the Blankenhagen parish records indicated any of these marriages? Obviously the parish records are extant. Were these families of long-standing in Blankenhagen?
Has anyone investigated the glass factory with local people there, some of whom may share these surnames? The international white pages may have a few listings for these families nearby. Such families would gravitate from Blankenhagen(s) to neighboring cities--(1) Rostock; (2) Hardegsen, Northeim or Gottingen; and (3) Rheda-Wiedenbruck, Gutersloh or Bielefeld. Have you checked parish records for all three villages named Blankenhagen for Schoenrocks? The latter two Blankenhagens are SW and S, respectively, of Hanover.
