As far as I know there existed one Hannibal Baltzersen Schonk (Schancke ?) (born appr. 1630 ?) who married (25 Jun 1671) Cathrine Johansdatter Plate from Christiania (Oslo) (Cathrine died there in 1689). Cathrine's siblings were Anna Johansdatter Plate (buried 25 May 1667, married 25 Aug 1661 to goldsmith Romanus F. Moeller, bur. 21/2-1686) and possibly goldsmith Berendt Johansen Plate (1620-89), Christiania. (Might their father Johan be identical to Johan Plate i Marstrand ?) Would Hannibal Schonck be a brother of Nicolaus and Adam ? In my opinion Dorothea Baltzersd. Schancke seems more likely to be a cousin rather than a daughter of Baltzer Hemmingsen. Was there a (priest ?) Baltzer Skonck / Schancke in Trondheim around 1580 ? Per Nermo nermo@online.no
