Project Focus & Approach

Welcome to the First Annual Report of the Hollenkamp One Name Study Project and the Hollenkamps on WikiTree. Since we were so busy researching Hollenkamps in 2022, and failed to create an Annual Report for 2022, this edition actually covers our progress across the last 18 months.

Up until now, the focus of the project was to:

1. define and document the approach of the study (see Hollenkamp Name Study - Approach and Sources)
2. identify persons with the last names Hollenkamp and Hollencamp across the globe and add them to WikiTree,
3. identify the maiden names of persons who have married a Hollenkamp / Hollencamp,
4. identify lineages, and categorise individual profiles to these lineages,
5. identify and document emigrants from Ankum to their new settlement locations,
6. build the Hollenkamp Community by encouraging Hollenkamps, Hollencamps, "Clan-members" and fellow researchers to
   1. share their family photographs or stories, to improve the profiles on WikiTree,
   2. join WikiTree or our Facebook group
   3. contribute to the Hollenkamp Y-DNA Study.

This article provides a summary of our progress and findings, including the first graphical representations of our research.

Key Highlights

• Most of the Hollenkamp/Hollencamp lineages found to date can be linked back to the Vollerbe Hollenkamp farm in Rüssel in Ankum. Not all of them a strictly patrilineal, as there were at least to males with a different last name that married a Hollenkamp and took over the name of the farmstead. In addition, a few lineages that cannot (yet?) be linked back to the Hollenkamp farm in Rüssel have been identified.
• The project was able to link one very significant lineage which seemingly originated in Hagen am Teutoburger Wald to the main Ankum line using Y-DNA as a source.
  • More granular goals and the approach of this Y-DNA study were presented to the members of Osnabrück's genealogic society, Arbeitskreis Familienforschung Osnabrück e.V., in a presentation^[1] on 15 October 2022^[2] with intermediate findings.
  • The findings were published in the society's magazine in their second volume in December 2023.^[3]
  • Note, the name of this line changed from "Hollenkamp" to "Schulte to Brinke" in 1651.
