[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] ANYTHING ON KEIHN FAMILY FROM POMERANIA OR HANNOVER

[Jerry Frank]

Hi Cecilia,

You are probably wondering why you didn't get a response to your first posting.  The problem is that our group focuses on Russian Poland and Volhynia (today northwestern Ukraine).  Neither of your locations fits the expertise to be found here so the possibility of a positive response is remote.

Your surname of Keihn and its many spelling variants are common in the German ethnic community throughout the world and your search will be difficult.  Pomerania is known as the "black hole" of genealogical records with most of them having been destroyed in WW II.  

Sorry if you don't get anything positive from us.

Hello everybody,
 
I am a new member. I am in search of GUILHERME KEIHN. We have found the last name KEIHN/ KUHN/KEIN in the SGG list of German family names in page 90.
He died in 1861 in RIO GRANDE DO SUL BRASIL. He left a son JOAO OR JOHN KEIHN born in 1860 in BRASIL. We believe he arrived there around 1824 from HANNOVER OR POMERANIA
We do not find him in any registry nor passenger lists.  Is there anybody out there who knows anything about this last name? Any lead will be very much appreciated. Cecilia KingAustralia
