Schoof/Schof/Schoff Family Genealogy
|
Hinrich Schoof from Neuendorf was the son of Hinrich Schoof in Neuendorf. Neuendorf is 5 km west of Elmshorn, 2 km away from the estuary of the Elbe-River. Hinrich Schoof, the younger, the cottage-based farmer (three generations and the cattle all under one roof), had a daughter with his unmarried girlfriend, Anna Koelln. Anna was the daughter of Hinrich Koelln of Hainholz (died prior to 1799) and Lucia Rieck (died prior to 1799). In the presence of the midwife Engelbrecht, Anna indicated Hinrich Schoof was the father of Magdalena. In those times, the midwife felt it was her traditional duty to blackmail the name of the illegitimate child from the mother. She would just stand there, arms crossed before her chest, and refuse to help the girl in her highest labor pains. At the time of her impregnation, Anna was in employed by farmer Paul Schmidt in Hainholz. Magdalena Schoof married twice, first to Hinrich Kelting of Elmshorn and second to Peter Thormoehlen of Raa.
