The oldest records about an Eymann family are found in the church-records and stock-books of the village of Alfhausen near Osnabrueck in northwest Germany. There lies, at the road to Bramsche, a large farm, the Eymann farm; although it is not possible to prove the direct relation to our family yet, it can be assumed that the Eymann family originally descends from this farm. One can also guess that by the derivation of the name itself. The Eymann farm is quoted in the stock-books way back in 1350; it was called "tor Eye" (medieval german: by the meadow). The farm was an estate in fee. In 1490, Hanneke "tor Eye" owned 5 horses, 2 oxen, 5 cows, 6 cattle, 14 pigs and 5 sheep and paid a feudal 'cattle tax' of one Taler and four Schillinge. Alfhausen was at that time part of the bishopric Osnabrueck.

Ek het die volgende antwoord van Prof Eyman af gekry in Duitsland

Louis, thanks for writing. I am not related with your family, but we procure their data because of the surname. You are the first family member in South Africa I know of. Your original family comes from Alfhausen near Osnabrueck, Germany. They emigrated through Bremen seaport.

I have the following entry:

for your ancestor, but unfortunately also no link to ancestors. The first member of that family is here: http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=teyma...,
but I have no Herman born abt 1720 in that tree, sorry.

Kind regards,

Torsten Eymann

Hierdie is heelwaarskynlik Die regte Johann Heinrich Eymann wat na die Kaap ge-emigreer het Geb 1731 wat beteken hy sou 32 jr oud gewees het.

Die link wat Prof Eymann gee sou hy 13 jr oud gewees het (geb 1750.) toe hy in die kaap aangekom het

Schuldbrief

Een werknemer van de VOC kon een schuldbrief / obligatie ondertekenen tot maximaal ƒ300, afhankelijk van de rang. De schuldbrief was veelal op naam gesteld, maar overdraagbaar en werd aan de toonder uitbetaald. Bij onvoldoende saldo werd de transportbrief bij voorrang voldaan, na de maandbrief. In het soldijboek wordt alleen vermeld dat er een schuldbrief is en ook de terugbetaling, voor zover dat gebeurd is.

1750 (interpreted from the original value "1750 ?") Johan Heinrich (Hendrik Heyman) EYMANN ♂

There are at least two separate Eymann families in Germany, from both of which family members emigrated at one point or the other to the US. The family originally from Alfhausen, Germany (near Osnabrück) is different from the family originally from Oberdiessbach, Switzerland. The Swiss family was of Anabaptist/Mennonite faith, the Alfhausen family not.
