Oh,and Sandy, there's another thing I wanted to menti
on. Remember wetalked about Cossman being recorded or transcribed as Copman in theCossman-Julich marriage record? I suspected it was due to the oldfashioned way a lower case s was written. Just last week, I stumbledon another possible explanation, which seems more likely than mine. Ifound a 2003 posting on the rootsweb message boards for the Gassensurname. The researcher tells about finding the name in America asGapen and Gapon. Then he tells about a often mistranscribed Germanletter, called an "ess-tset." He quotes from a book 'Discovering YourGermanic Ancestors', which says "The ess-tset is an unusual Germanletter. It is transcribed as ss and can appear in the middle or at theend of a word. It is not a capitol B and never appears at thebeginning of a word..." The researcher goes on to say that the typesetthat he'd found for the ess-tset looks very, very similar to a p (butthe back line extends above the top of the loop, and the loop extendsmore to the right....much more oval than round). Since no such letterexists in English, the German letter would have to be translated intoour ss (thus keeping the original pronunciation of the name). Now, Ihave my gg. grandparents original 1857 marriage certificate (the sameyear and county Peter H. Cossman & Anna Maria Julich married), so Iknow for a fact that the priest wrote in German. If the priest wroteCossman using the ess-tset, and the person at the records office didnot recognize it as a German letter (and translate it to ss) thenthey'd surely write it in the record book as Copman. Even if therecords person did recognize the letter, and wrote a perfect ess-tset(which they shouldn't have. Being an English record, they should havetranslated it into English), but even if they did, most anyone comingalong later transcribing Clinton records would have copied it asCopman. So there you have it. I think it's a really likelyexplanation. Wendy" [Transcribed 01 March 2009, SLJuhl RNBSC,Compiler; sljuhl1234@yahoo.com]

Hi Sandra,
I was surfing the Rootsweb trees and thought I might be able to add atouch to yours.
I123330, Engelbert Julich (my ggg.grandfather);
b. abt. Oct 9, 1798, Altenahr, Germany. This is the date he wasbaptized, and it was their custom to do so on the day of birth, or thesoonest date humanly possible.
d. April 7, 1876, Lyons, Clinton Co., Iowa. Buried, St. Bonifacecem., Clinton Co., IA.
I23331, Anna Catherine "Simmons" (my ggg.grandmother and mygggg.aunt---double related).
b. Oct. 23, 1805, Kreuzberg, Germany.
d. 1886, Arcadia, Carroll Co., Iowa. Buried, St. John's cem.,Arcadia, Carroll Co., IA.
I realize spelling is not terribly important, but just thought I'dmention, I've not heard of Anna Catherine using the double m spelling. Only Simon or Simons. The usual spelling in our family was/is Simons(I have records to 1710).
123319, Anna Mary Julich.
d. 1 week before her sister (est. about Nov. 3, 1907), who died Nov.10, 1907.
From the obit of her sister, Margaretha Johanna Julich (wife of JohannAnton Simons), "Besides her husband and children she leaves onesister, Mrs. Kate Rust, at Arcadia, who is the mother of H.H. Rust andMrs. Sauber, at Kenwood. This sister is the last of her family.Another sister died at Fulton, Ill, only last week. Her husband washere visiting. Sunday she wrote him a letter, which he received thenext day, and Tuesday morning he received a message that she had diedthe night before."
Margaretha Julich and Johann Simons are my gg. grands. They were 1stcousins.
Regarding the alternate spelling of Gulich; Gulich, Ullich, etc. arevariations associated with families who came from Julich, Germany, butI've found no one in our family who used either. Our usual spellingis Julich. The only variation I've found is Juelich.
23312, Peter Hubert (or Hubertus) Cossman.
Copman is not an alternative spelling. Although the transcript of theClinton Co., marriage book says Copman, it is incorrect. I've notseen the original record, but rather suspect it has the old fashionedlower case double ss, in which the 1st s is written with a tail(commonly miss-transcribed as an f or p).
Well, I think that's about it. Hope there's something in this you canuse.

SOURCE: FAMILY OUTLINE - Information provided by: Wendy;Saffuire@comcast.net--January c.2009 A.D.; Godparents were EngelbertusKnieps and Anna Catharina Winandi, sister of the mother. Per JohnMcGee, the church records are a combination of German and Latin. " Asan infant or child his name would be written Engelbertus. As a youngman or adult Engelbertum. As a respected elder, Engelberto. He wasmost likely known as Engelbert, but without a signature we can't beabsolutely sure."

Engelbertus married Anna Catherine Schick on 22 Apr 1788 in Altenahr, Rheinland-Pfalz, Germany. Anna (daughter of Wilhelm Schick and Maria Munich) was born in 1765 in Altenahr, Rhineland, Germany; died on 21 Aug 1802 in Altenahr, Rhineland, Germany. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
