I hope your remember my last post about Ernst F. Schochenmaier (born about 1855) who had been registered as an inmate in 1940 in the New York State.
Well, I searched through the web all the time in order to find out anything new about this mysterious person from our family tree and I must "disappoint" you: There was no Ernst Schochenmaier jailed in the USA. Do you ask if I have any proofs, well it's easy, because I have found a Ern(e)st F. SchAchenmaier. Yes, it's still the same story) The letters "a" and "o" are permanently confound.
As we suggested, the schAchenmaiers took their origin from the Western Austria (on the basis of place-names Schachen) and the schOchenmaiers are possibly the descendants of the business union of two families (the Maiers and the Schochs) somewhere in Württemberg.
Below you can see what I found on the Internet:
Here everything is distinctive and visible: schAchenmEier
He was born in 1855 in Germany, emigrated in 1883 or 1884 and naturalized in 1895. He lost his wife Adelheid Schachenmeier (born in 1857 in Germany as well) in 1913. In 1930 he lived in Richmond (New York) and worked as a book-binder.
It was the attestation of his naturalization, and now the petition for it:
It's even more interesting for we may read that his full name was Ernst Frederick Schachenmeier and he was born in Baden.
Now I begin to understand that he probably was the descendant of Leopold Schahenmayer, who escaped from Austria in the 30-Years-War (1630s) and got his daughter Maria in 1652 in Britzingen (Lörrach, Baden). He can be also the ancestor of the SchAchenmeiers still living in Baden: for example, in Efringen-Kirchen (between Lörrach and Müllheim) you can even find a company: http://www.schachenmeier.de/
Well, it's great that we know that Ernst Frederick didn't belong to SchOchenmaiers.
Let's going on)))
