| These are the Family Trees of my ancestors the Eincks and Otts. You will notice that the Einck Tree is now called the Kuhlkamp Family Tree. In 1781, Johan Gerdt Kuhlkamp married Anna Marie Elizabeth Eynck. As was customary at the time, the bride's last name would become the family name if she had more wealth than her husband. Since the Eynck family was of superior wealth, the Kuhlkamp name was abandoned and the Eynck name taken. After her death in 1788 Johan Gerdt Eynck remarrried to Anna Marie Klumper, but did not change his last name from Eynck back to Kuhlkamp. Thus we have the Eynck name but are not blood relatives of the Eynck family line. Much of the information in the Bernhard Heinrich Einck Family Tree comes directly from family members. The "backbone" of the Einck Tree is from the work done by Donald & Marg Einck that was originally published back in 1980. I also do a lot of my research using the internet, and I will occasionally make connection with relatives who are more than happy to have their families included and updated with their current information. I have recently added several Einck family members from the Frank, Henry and William Einck families. All three brothers moved to the Minneapolis, Minnesota area. Here again I can credit a cousin Stacy Ann (Einck) Eckberg for her help in updating that part of the Minnesota Eincks’ trees. She had always heard her family talk about her Iowa relatives but never really knew who we were. After looking at the information on this site, she now knows who we are. Additionally Clemens Ewering has done a tremendous amount of research of the Legden, Germany Catholic Church Archives and has been able to push back the E(y)inck Family to the late 1600s. I appreciate the help he has given me in continuing to push the Kuhlkamp (Einck) line farther into the past. Clemens has completed his research and has been kind enough to share it with me. Now if I could just read and understand German. I am struggling through the information and will make changes and additions as nesessary. Clemens is a cousin of ours in the Bullerman line. I was led to him thru Sister Marian Einck of Dyersville, Iowa. She has been a tremendous help with setting up these contacts in Germany. In addition to the Einck updates I finally was able to find tangible and documented information that ties Johann "Hans" Ott to our Michael Ott family line. I recently found the immigration record for Johann Ott and his family that indicated that his final destination was to be St. Lucas, Iowa and that his brother Michael Ott was his contact there. So with that piece of information I added Johann to the family and continued to research his family thru the internet. I was able to put together a significant amount of the family this way. I did make contact with Lucille (Ott) Borseth of Cresco, Iowa and Gerald Pitelko of Rochester, Minnesota provided significant updates to the John Baptist Ott (son of Johann Ott) family. I am glad to continue to maintain this page and keep it current as long as you let me know of any updates to your family. If anyone has any old family pictures they would like to share, please let me know. |
