The Engelbarts in Ganderkesee, Oldenburg
Petermann Introduction - - Petermanns In Ganderkesee, Oldenburg, Germany - Osterloh in Ganderkesee - Menkens in Ganderkesee - Home

My great grandfather, Johann Berend Petermann was born in Ganderkesee Germany in 1843. He spent 14 years at sea with the German merchant ships out of Bremen. Subsequently he married and had one child in Germany. The family immigrated to the United States circa 1880 and settled in Hoboken, New Jersey. His parents were Johann Christopher Petermann and Gesche Margrete Engelbart.

Note : The LDS microfilms #1431001 and 02 for the Ganderkesee church records are very, very hard to read. The filming is quite bad and the records are not in good chronological order. I have, therefore, used the IGI and some records submitted by LDS church members. I prefer to interpret the records myself, however, in this case I have taken a different approach.

LDS's notes say:

Parish registers of baptisms, marriages and deaths for Ganderkesse, Olbenburg, Germany. Right and left hand pages are filmed separately for most volumes. Many frames are overexposed or blurred. Consists of ninety 8 mm strips printed onto 16 mm film in erratic order. Films 1431001 and 1431002.
While they list the years 1660 to 1860 on both films, film 1431001 only covers BAPTISMS for the years 1820ish to 1860ish.

In June 2012 I went to Ganderkesee where I did some research. Unfortunately, I did not have as much time as I would have liked.

The IGI, some records form the LDS microfilm, records from the Ganderkesee Parish Office and other records were used to compile the following information on the Engelbart family in Ganderkesee.

The Engelbart records in Ganderkesee, as listed by the IGI and the Ganderkesee Parish Records, present a fairly neat picture of the Engelbart family starting with Johann Engelbart and Heilcke Wieting who married in 1669. They had a son Harmen who married Anna Osterloh in 1705. There is one potentially messy section involving their son, Harmen Wilke Engelbart, baptized in 1719. The records show that he married in 1750, aged 31.There was one child from this marriage, Harmen Hinrich born in 1751. There is another marriage for Harmen Wilke Engelbart widow in 1771 when he was 52. A year later there is still another marriage, for Harmen Wilke Englebart, this time to Gesche Menckens.

The IGI concurs that Harmen Wilken Engelbart born 1719 was the husband of Gesche Menkens born 1742. There are several LDS submissions that concur the Gesche Mencke (or Menckens) was born to Cordt Mencke and Trine Osterloh in Habbruegge, Oldenburg on 30 October 1742. This would make her 24 years younger than Harmen Engelbart, and certainly able to have the children born to the marriage. Three sons were born to the union of Harmen Wilke and Gesche Engelbart: Harmen in 1773, Cord Hinrich in 1775 and Johann Hinrich in 1780. Harmen Wilke Engelbart would have been 61 years old at the birth of Johann Hinrich in 1780. It is an unusual, but not impossible, situation.

My ancestors where Harmen Wilken Engelbart born 1719 and his son, Johann Hinrich Engelbart, born 1780.

Johann Engelbart★ born Deichhausen and Heilcke Wieting★

Birth: Deichhausen

Marriage: 24.09.1669 Johann Engelbart, Deichhausen, and Heilcke Wieting, Ganderkesee (GPR June 2012)

Note: Deichhausen is northeast of Ganderkesee above Delmenhorst. Deichhausen is in another parish. If the name was introduced to Ganderkesee parish at the marriage of Johann Engelbart and Heilcke Wieting in 1669 it explains why the name Engelbart is rather limited in Ganderkesee parish.

Osterloh

Two Osterloh women married into the Engelbart family.

  1. Anna Osterloh born 1685 married Harmen Engelbart in 1705

  2. Catherine Osterloh born 1697 married Cord Menckens in 1724. Cord Menckens and Catherine Osterloh were the parents of Gesche Menkens who married Harmen Wilke Englebart in 1772.

For more information on the Osterlohs of Ganderkesee.

See Osterloh in Ganderkesee

Menckens

Gesche Menckens married Harmen Wilken Englebart 25 June 1772 in Ganderkesee. Gesche Menckens was born 30 October 1743, in Habbruegge, parents, Cort Menche and Trine Osterloh (LDS Submission)

Habbruegge is an intersection north west of Genderkesee.

Some early records for the Menches family were from Schlutter which is a hamlet east of the village of Ganderkesee.

See Menkens in Ganderkesee


Neelss

Grete Neelss married Cord Menke 17 May 1664.

Nothing listed on IGI for birth of Grete Neelss.

Struthof

Gesche Margarethe Struthof married Berend Schwarting before 1787. See Schwarting


Schwarting

Lucke Schwarting daughter of Gerd Schwarding of Ganderkesee married Hinrich Petermann in 1685.

Anna Schwarting married Hilmer Menkens Ganderkesee in 1697. She was, however, a widow and I believe she was married a Schwarting not born a Schwarting.

Sophie Hedwig Schwarting, daughter of Berend Schwarting married Johann Hinrich Engelbart in Ganderkesee on September 30, 1806.

Engelbart in Ganderkesee Today

The 2012 phone book for Ganderkesee and vicinity listed three Englebarts in Ganderkesee. However, there could also be Engelbart descendants through a female line who lives in Ganderkesee.
