Re: Friedhold, Carl or Hugo HEMMANN, involved with Boston Orchestra and New York Philh
Have you read this?
"1882-1883 Hugo Hemmann
Hugo Hemmann was born in Saxe-Weimar, in the present state of Thuringia in central Germany in March, 1859. Hugo Hemmann was brother of the violinist Friedhold Hemmann (August 15, 1845-after 1910) and the cellist Carl Hemmann (1851-before 1910). They emigrated together to the U.S. in 1866. Both Friedhold Hemmann and Carl Hemmann played with the New York Philharmonic Society in 1877-1879. Hugo Hemmann was the Principal oboe of the Boston Symphony during its second season 1882-1883. Carl Hemmann by the 1891-1892 season was playing cello, probably Principal, in the New York Symphony under Walter Damrosch. By 1889, Hugo Hemmann, Carl Hemmann and Friedhold Hemmann all were musicians in New York City. Carl Hemmann died after 1922. Friedhold Hemmann died after 1916." Chuck

Hi Chuck, No I hadn't seen it. Thanks. I'll let you know if I find anything more. Did you find number of the house on 56th Street? If it matches I'm sure that would be proof that the are the same. May Lou

Re: Friedhold, Carl or Hugo HEMMANN, involved with Boston Orchestra and New York Philh
Chuck, I made an error. Carl Hemmann lived at 101 W. 58th Street. On his passport application I see that his father Carl immigrated to the U.S. in 1867 and died in 1905. Possibly he is the son of the man you are researching. But it brings up another possibility--could it be the son who played in the New York Symphony and died after 1922? Since they were both musicians it is hard to differentiate. His 1922 passport was for England, France, Germany and Holland. I remember my aunt saying that he traveled to Europe for concerts. Mary Lou

Re: Friedhold, Carl or Hugo HEMMANN, involved with Boston Orchestra and New York Philh
I am unable to find a specific address. I am actually trying to find information about Elsie Hemmann (aka Elsie Kuhn), Marie Kuhn, or Charles Kuhn (middle name unknown). My GGF was Charles and he was married to Marie, but my GGM was Elsie Hemmann (you can draw your own conclusion or search for NY court records of Kuhn V. Hemmann.) My GF was Charles Hemmann Kuhn and my father told me that my GF lived with various relatives, including living with an uncle for a brief period in Germany. In my searches I have seen no references to an Ina. Have you run across any reference to a Barbara or Elsie? Chuck

No, but I'll keep an eye out. I had a dear friend in Hamburg--Jurgen Kuhn> He died in 1973. Any relation? Mary Lou

Re: Friedhold, Carl or Hugo HEMMANN, involved with Boston Orchestra and New York Philh
PLease do keep an eye out. I don't have any information about the Kuhn side of the family tree going back to Germany so don't have even a foggy idea...so Jurgen probably not related at least as far as I know. Thanx and Früeliche Weinachten
