The Charles Maves family portrait

M A V E S

Your left to right back row............. Bert; Carl; Victor; Albert; Gerge; Max
Front & Second row. Correne's Grandpa Charlie; Herbert; Nellie; Grandma Augusta; Lidia

Source: A child of Herbert is Correne Maves. Residence at Dunn county, Wisconsin. She is the source of the names given. She said Bert lived in Oregon. Carl was a Methodist preacher. See me for details on Victor.

HERBERT [Herb] MAVES son of Charles Maves and Augusta Hine [ Hein] is in their family portrait. Can you find him? Sporting the Whiskers is of course the father Charles. Ahhhh, maybe the love of whiskers and mustaches is a family trait?? A good source tells me that Herbert is the youngest child at the left.


Herbert comes from the long line of Mewes from Stettin Poland or vorpommern. Julius Frederick Mewes was found there with his wife Charlotte of the Schwane familien name.


Julius Frederick Maves son Johann Gottlieb Maves with wife Caroline YOEKES or JOECKES and family emigrated in 1856 to America on Bark Mississippi. I am told it was at the time of arrival to America that the name was changed to Maves.

I wonder why. I have seen other Maves names. Were they from the same family too. I have seen in the same county where these descendants of this family lived, another family seemingly unrelated bearing the name Mewes. I think Mewes was a fairly common name, too.

Often times the name change happens at the check in point at Castle Garden, when the officials perhaps influence he nervous immigrants. And it sticks?

But that may not be the case. On the passenger list of the [ship] Bark Mississippi listed as 10.June.1856 we find the name listed as Maves. I think I have seen it listed at another site as Mawes.

I'd love to know the actual reason. It would be interesting to find out.

Their destination was to be Chicago, Illinois. Somehow they made their way to Pierce county, Wisconsin living a short time by Baldwin. From there to Buffalo county and eventually to Dunn county.

Norway Heritage Community - Jacob Husby Emigration Dominion via ch. 4.4.1888

A few years back I was trying to find Jacob, who was a missing brother of John Husby. This research on Husby family, but lost to me; was done by Ruth JACOBASON [ Just to clear it up, Jacobson was not from HUSBY family.] Later I found it done by Linda Swartz and her friends at Tronderlage List at rootsweb. [More on that later\

This is one source I tried. My little session with them still can be found on line. [lol]

Norway
Heritage Community - Jacob Husby Emigration Dominion via ch. 4.4.1888:
"There is alot of information on this site about the Dominion Line and the ships
Oregon and Vancouver. The Dominion Line operated from Liverpool to
Quebec/Montreal, Baltimore in the winter, New Orleans and Philadephia.

The Vancouver arrived from Liverpool to Vancouver on April 20, 1888 and
to Quebec on April 27, 1888.

The Oregon arrived from Liverpool to
Halifax, Canada on April 15, 1888.

The Hero was a feeder ship that took
emigrants from Norway to Hull, England and on to Liverpool or Glascow for their
voyage to North America.

I do not know of any online records for
Canadian arrivals at this time. The appropriate microfilms for these passenger
lists are available for rental at a local Family History Center if you have
access to that .

Are you trying to find Jacob Husby in America?"

Yes I was. I have areas of possible settlement to South Dakota, Montana, Washington or Oregon, Iowa, Illinois, Eastern coastal state. Alaska. It has been awhile since I looked. I think I might have found a ship of Jacobs same as above, but I will have to renew the search. His name could be Johansen, Johanson, Jonson, Johnson, and Johnsen. family Lore says these. Though Passage records has him listed as Husby intention.

I have tried searching for him by trying to find the others who were also listed as leaveing. I am going here by my old memory : Carlson to Duluth, Monk or Moen to Kansas.

Note: A son Lars Husby was born and some of his family may be in America. At one time I thought there was possibilities in finding them together. More on all this later.

A Rootdigger

I did publish a little other information at A rootdiggers blog. I thought it would be good to link us together. I plan to close a few postings over there. I would like the concentration of Maves and Yoeckes, Hein, and Hasse, Husby, and a few other related surnames to be seen here.

A Rootdigger: "fresh blood line found with familes Genealogy of Charles Maves family
A few days before Halloween a buddy told me her daughter did some research and found out the Maves family is related to that daughter's son. She knew I had some data that I could put my finger on for this family. So a few of these blogs are in honor of that news. I always like to find fresh blood.........lines. tee hee.
So I hope that explains the title. lol. It was about three years ago on Halloween eve as I was checking my emails, I discovered that I had been the Fresh blood line found by my Mothers relative. I razzed him about it. He never confessed to the implication. I suspect it was his humor. At Halloween as I think of this, it makes me smile every time.

She must have done good research because the mother told me about land records and even told me the parents Of Herbert Maves. I do hope I have something here that she does not already have! And I hope she will share her Roth information with me.

At any rate this is the tree that the newly discovered blood line of Maves they fall into.

I. Father: Julius Frederick Maves.
Mother: Charlotte Louise Schwane.

II. Father: Johann Gottlieb MAVES.
Mother: Caroline YOEKES.

III. Charles MAVES
*Born: 18.SEP.1848 at Stettin, Germany
00 Married: 19 JAN 1869.
[Father:Johann Gottlieb MAVES].
Spouse: Augusta Hein"

Johann Gottlieb MAVES/Caroline YOEKES

Caroline Yoecks was married to Johann Maves. I haven't spent enough research time on the Yokes family. I have found a few other Yokes in the Dunn county area. I did find quite a bit on the Maves family. My interest started with their Hein - Hine family. Also the Hasse surname has some intrique. Due to interest in various surnames on A Rootdigger I made several posts there about the Maves family.
Lets start with one big source for my found data on the Maves family. Maves came to America with Destination to Chicago. They spent several years in other counties than just Dunn county, Wisconsin. Later some of the young men went to California to make their fortune in the housing industry. You will find this information posted at A Rootdigger.

Johann Gottlieb MAVES/Caroline YOEKES

If your interested in more on the family click the above link.

Yoeckes, Yoke, Joeckes, and Jockes

I took this from a message board at Roots web/ Ancestor.com 'community' area.
I may try and follow this a bit if I can. I should spend a little time on the family Yokes. Yokes is a family name in connection with the family name Maves. Mews, Mewes.

Classification: Lookup
Surnames: NELSON - SORENSON
JOHANNA ( NELSON ) SORENSON
was my grandmother-in-law. Johanna was born
in 1879, at ELK MOUND, DUNN, WI. Her father was PEDER NILSEN born 1815 at
RIGEREKE, BUSKERUD, NORWAY. Johanna married ALBERT SORENSON, they moved to
ST.PAUL, MN
where they raised four children. Johanna lived the rest of her
life in ST.PAUL except for a short time in CLOQUET, MN
where ALBERT worked
as a carpenter. Her son, Melvin SORENSON was my father-in-law. I have no dates
other than what is here, if anyone has information to this family please write
me.
Thank You."

Note: Besides the reference to Yoeckes, I note the emphasis on Buskerud Norway. In the Meyer family tree, I found that the Oleson family at Hazel Run, Yellow Medicine county in Minnesota traced back to Buskerud. A descendent had married Irma Martin. from Madelia Minnesota. I think If I recall correctly the wife was a daughter of Peter in that Oleson line from Buskerud. There was alos a Sorenson family across the street from the Martins house at Madelia. And Joannie Nelson live quite a bit aways down the street. [hmmm!! Should I look in to it now or not] [naahhh]

Note: Strange as it sounds; I over heard something once at a thrift sale in the village of Menomonie. A lady who I think was a Peterson [ How could I have found out that?] say she had been to Granite Falls. I mentioned something about it to her that I had been there and she said to me that she doubted I had been there that far away. No i just let it go as we were strangers just talking. So that has always made me wonder, if there are more than one. Now I wonder if it was the one by Hazel Rrun Minnesota. So remind me to check into Oleson / Petersen of Buskerude -- Descendents in Minnesota and Wisconsin.

Note: Nelson/ Nelsen family has married into Husby family. I also do not know history of this family either.

Do you see now how one can keep so busy, because one

family line Possibly could run into another???.

My!!! How one can get distracted!!!
