Dear Karla,
My Godmother's name was Schuckman, and she was born
near Allen Co. in 1900. Her father was instrumental in
founding St. John Catholic Church in New Haven. I have
a bit if information about that family I can share with you
when I have a little time, later in the week. Was your family
Catholic, by any chance?
Regards,
jim cavanaugh

I am looking for ANY information on the surname SHOOKMAN/SCHUCKMAN of
Allen
Co., Indiana. My g.g.grandfather Philip Shookman moved to Allen Co. about
1847 presumably with his parents and siblings as he was b.1834 and would
only have been 13 at the time. He had a brother John, b.1830, but that is
all I know about his family. Philip and John moved on to Wisconsin abt.
1867, shortly after the Civil War. I am eager to find any genealogical
information that might exist on this family. Thanks for whatever help you
may be able to offer!
