Hi Alex: Mine were Nunnenkamps but I assume the spellings could have been interchangeable at some point. They were also from Hannover. The Belgian connection would not be surprising given the location near Westphalia/Hannover. However, my Maria Elizabeth Nunnenkamp (nee Kalmer [Kollmer]) was the sister to my ggg and was born 2 Sep 1812 in Laer/Melle in southern Hannover. My notes show that she was born in the Stoltmann Kotten (home) and her godmother was Maria Elizabeth Stoltmann (nee Grieving) I also have Schroeders but that. of course, is like being related to a Smith. I don't show either Reininger or Ikemeyer relations. I don't show a brother Joseph either. I show only sisters Anna Maria Theresia, born 1807 and Maria Gertrud, born 1807. Over the years there has been this touch & go with various other Nonnenkamps (I remember a fellow from Oklahoma some years ago - we thought we had something, but, alas . .)

Other surnames connected to this family are: Schroeder; Reininger and Ikemeyer. My Nonnenkamps appear to have come from Hanover as well. Another Nonnenkamp researcher named Marc Nonnenkamp said that the name originated in Belgium. Maria Elizabeth and Joseph may have had other siblings. That I do not know as yet. Let me know if any of these names are in your family. Thanks Alex in Missouri ____________________________________________________________________________________ Bored stiff? Loosen up...
