Georg Ferdinand Braskamp was born in Lenzen on the river Elbe, Germany, 14 December 1812.
At the occasion of his registration as a conscript at Lünenburg Georg Ferdinand lived in Hannover and it is stated that his mother was called Anna Katharina Schilling. His father was "Brascamp französicher Offizier", a french officer called Brascamp. It is considered likely that this french officer was Willem Hendrik Braskamp who links the German branch with Engelbert Brascamp. Currently the German branch involves 32 individuals, distributed over 8 generations.
Georg Ferdinand Braskamp wurde in Lenzen auf dem Fluß Elbe, Dezember 14 1812 geboren.
Die Liste der Wehrpflichtigen der Stadt Lüneburg zeigt Georg Ferdinands Eltern: Seine Mutter Anna Katharina Schilling und sein Vater Brascamp, ein französicher Offizier. Georg Ferdinand wohnte dann in Hannover. Es wird als wahrscheinlich angesehen, dass dieser französische Offizier Willem Hendrik Braskamp ist, der die deutsche Zweig verbindet mit Engelbert Brascamp. Zur Zeit bezieht diese Teil des Stammbaums 32 Einzelpersonen mit ein, verteilt über acht Generationen.

Unknown Braskamps in and from Germany
Archiv für Sippenforschung/Namenverzeichnis 1944 shows on page 131 'Brascamp'. It may refer to a German Braskamp.
According to Anna Sporer Ancestry.com, Hamburg Marriages 1874-1920, there is a marriage of Anna Auguste Gretchen Spörer with August Albert Ferdinand Braskamp. Possibly this is Albert Braskamp, born Lüneburg 1875.
In 1905 Gottfried Braskamp, his wife Elisabeth and children Johanna and Elisabeth emigrated from Haltern to the US through Ellis Island. Johanna and Elisabeth are registered in Haltern as daughters of Gottfried Bröskamp and Elisabeth Bröskamp, as born 17-8-1903 and 15-11-1904, respectively. It is likely that Gottfried and Elisabeth are the couple which is registered in the 1930 US Federal Census as Fred Braskamp (born abt 1880 Germany) and Elizabeth (born about 1885 Germany) with children Beryamo (1909 North Dakota), Walter (1915 North Dakota) and Howard (1922 Minnesota), at South St Paul, Dakota, Minnesota. Gottfried and Elisabeth appear also in the 1940 US Census as Fred and Elizabeth Braskamp, and daughter Ella (35).
Other Braskamps from German origin in the US Federal Census records are:
Henry Braskamp (though the written text clearly looks like Braukamp), born Germany 1856, married Lizzie, born Ohio 1859. The couple had three children, born in Ohio, Harry (1885), Walter (1892) and Elsie (1895). US Census 1900 - Cincinnati Ward 23, Hamilton, Ohio.
John T. Braskamp, born about 1881 Germany, married Marie, born about 1882, children John (1913) en Hilda M (1916).
1930 St Louis, St Louis (Independent City) Missouri.
Inspecting the written text it happens to be John T. Boskamp.
Garritt Braskamp, born about 1874 Germany.
1920 East Jordan, Charlevoix, Michigan. The written text looks more like Boarkamp.
Teresa Brascamp (or Broscamp?), white, 58 years old, born Germany, living county Eau Clair, Eau Clair Wisconsin 615.
Census Wisconsin 1920
Through a search in a database of the Dutch Institute for Military History it appears that there were two Braskamps that served in the Napoleon Army. The one is André (Andries) Braskamp son of Jan Braskamp and Maria Burggraaf and the other Willem Hendrik Braskamp, recorded als Guillaume Henry in the French military files, son of Jan Braskamp and Anna Winsser. For the time being it is felt more likely that Willem Hendrik is the founder of the German branch and not André, but more research in military archives may prove the situation otherwise. Through a reference in the Dutch record more information was retrieved about Willem Hendrik in the Military Archives at Chateau de Vincennes, Paris.
