I checked the site mentioned by Geolover, but didn't find proper clues about the birth place of the first Van Schoonhovens. I can't relate the places mentioned on that site to any existing ones on current maps, so you would probably need some immigration documents to find out what was actually written.<br />Enno Borgsteedehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15212823867293147091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26204193.post-58437288394057391162016-05-25T10:03:19.279-07:002016-05-25T10:03:19.279-07:00Randy, I am glad you made some headway on the Scho...Randy, I am glad you made some headway on the Schoonover connection.<br /><br />Warren and Sussex Counties, NJ were hotbeds of Schoonovers who migrated to the Minisink section of Delaware River -- both sides -- in the early 1700s, from Esopus, NY.<br /><br />There is a humungous ongoing catalogue of these Schoonovers / Van Schoonhovens at https://sites.google.com/site/schoonoversinamerica/<br /><br />There is a site search engine which has failed to come up with the family of Elijah and his Auble spouse. Those who are presently running the site might be grateful for what you have come up with about Elijah's family and the Auble connection. For the most part, the site tries to show sources for posted data and to give specific dates and places. The early generations are tough due to constant re-use of same first-names, but good headway has been made.<br />Geoloverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12050268303916428230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26204193.post-48342518902876354262016-05-25T03:59:56.820-07:002016-05-25T03:59:56.820-07:00Hi Randy,

A Schoonhover, with that second H, would be a person from Schoonhoven, which is quite close to Leiden, which is the origin of many pilgrim fathers, I think.<br /><br />When I try Schoonover on FamilySearch, and filter for births on this continent, there are almost 300 originating in Germany, and 485 in The Netherlands. With an exact search, Germany wins, with 60 persons, and only 4 from The Netherlands.<br /><br />cheers,<br /><br />Enno<br />Enno Borgsteedehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15212823867293147091noreply@blogger.com
