IX. The family of Hermann Lüninghausen
(son of Johann Hinrich, see chapter VII.)
Hermann Lünghusen (* 27 May 1849 in Fischerhude + 24.01.1901) was a wheelwright (as his
father Johann Hinrich) and a wood turner and he took over the farm/estate Fischerhude No. 79
from his father. He married Rebecka Catharina Meyer (* 20.02.1845 + 23.09.1905) on
24.04.1874. The data which I have about his family is from the Fischerhude book.
Conrad Lünkhusen (Lüninghausen), the first ancestor of yours who lived in Fischerhude had
two sons who survided and grow up to adulthood. These sons the following Lunghusen
grandsons: Heinrich (* 1834, who went to Australia in 1855), Peter (* 1838, who probably
went to the USA) and Hermann (* 1849, the only one who stayed in Germany). After
Hermann “only” had five daughters the name Lünkhusen/Lünghusen died out in Germany, at
least in this spelling variant.
We have to go back to Johann Lüninghausen in Rautendorf (1794-1875, see part VII. above),
the son of Conrad`s brother Hermann, to the decendents of Conrad`s uncle Conrad Friedrich
(* 1745, oo in Bremen in 1768, see part IV. above) or even to Conrad`s great uncle Carl
Lüninghausen in Moordorf (1710-1789, see part VIII. above) if we want to find
Lüninghusen/Lunghusen relatives. But even such ambitious approached probably would end
in negative results after there are no Lüninghausen or Lüninghusen families listed in the
German National Telephone Register as well.
Much more promising and intersting seem to be to try to find out about decendents of
Heinrich`s sisters Margarethe Schlobohm, nee Lünghusen in Sottrum (oo 1850) and Gesche
Lünkhusen, about decendents of Peter Lunghusen in America or about the decendents of the
daughters of Heinrich Lunghusen`s first cousins Hermann (1849-1901) in Fischerhude.
11 In some records we have different terms fir „Köthner“ farmers like “Spannköthner” and “Handköthner”
(without horses), Pflugköthner” (with a plow) and “Eggeköthner” (with a harrow).
