Kattelmann Patriarchs

Tileke Kattelmann (1618-1665, Ströhen) and Johann Kattelmann (1620-??, Ströhen) (brothers ?) are both referenced in the transcribed/translated registers of Lavelsloh Parish, Niedersachsen, Germany.

Tileke Kattelmann (1618-1665), LJTK-SCD, identified patriarch of the Kattelmann line that eventually (1700s ?) built Yard No. 8 in Hannover Ströhen, Electorate of Hannover. This farm is still located on Kattelinger Weg in Wagenfeld-Ströhen, Niedersachsen, Germany (accessed December 2017, Google Maps).

Johann Kattelmann (1620-?), LHY4-DBV, identified patriarch of the Kattelmann line that eventually (1700s ?) built Yard No. 9 & 75 in Hannover Ströhen, Electorate of Hannover. These farms are located on Kattelinger Weg in Wagenfeld-Ströhen, Niedersachsen, Germany (accessed December 2017, Google Maps). Johann is the G7-Grandfather of Jim Kattelman.

Sources, Citations and URLs: The Lutheran Church Registers (BM&D) for Lavelsloh Parish, (Kingdom of) Hannover and Rahden/Ströhen Parish, Prussia are available through the respective churches in Germany. Lavelsloh Registers were microfiched by the German Government about 1938 and the extractions are available online in database form at db.genealogy.net/vereine/ortsfamilienbücher. Rahden/Ströhen Parish Registers have been microfilmed by the LDS Church and are available through the FHL in Salt Lake City, Utah and online at FamilySearch.org. Citations are available for all of the above. Unfortunately, the actual images of all the records are not available online at this time, 2017.

There have been very few traceable Kattelmann ancestral lines. Almost all of the individuals mentioned in the FamilySearch Kattelmann trees can be traced to Tileke Kattelmann (1618-1665) or Johann (1620-?). The descendants of both of these individuals lived primarily in the (Kingdom of) Hannover, Ströhen, Lavelsloh Parish area. In 1848 (see family reports), cousins from Yards No. 8 & 9 married which reconnected the Tileke and Johann family lines. In May of 2007, Jim and Sandy Kattelman visited the three Kattelmann Family Farms, Yards No. 8, 9 & 75, in Niedersachsen which exist to this day.

Some moved across the boundary into Prussian Ströhen, Rahden Parish, but they are traceable. It would seem that Tileke and Johann would have had siblings, but only a few Kattelmanns in the Rahden/Ströhen, Prussia area have not been connected to the lines of Tileke or Johann. The question remains: To whom are the few Kattelmann individuals not connected to this family tree related ? More than likely Unknown Kattelmann # LJTK-91T on the FamilySearch tree.

"Old San Francisco Pictures Online

If you or your ancestors ever lived in San Francisco, don't visit this site! It is addictive. You'll spend hours looking at the pictures!
Dan Vanderkam moved to San Francisco in 2007 to work at Google. He became fascinated with his new city’s history and soon found the San Francisco Public Library’s online repository of old pictures. However, he quickly became frustrated by the site's awkward user interface. He thought, 'there must be a better way.' http://www.oldsf.org/ is the result. …”
