Well he was active 1743 and in 1749 he dies. And widow do not continue business. I don't know when he starts as master. His name was Carl Hoose.

I don't know him or his relation - children and gran children onwards.

However my gran father was named Carl ??. Hose ?+? - the last name ?+?...... he got from his father and the middle name ?? from who knows?

I put in ? because they have no relevance for story.

His mother was born approx 1850ties or late 1840ties. Her name was Caroline ?????? Hose (again I added ???? to hide identity) Carl Hose - and mother Caroline Hose. The Carl is masculine of Caroline - my guess is that this is a family tradition.

100 years before Caroline was born the silver smith Carl Hoose was active 20 or 25 km from Caroline's home.

If Carl Hoose actually is the great great grandfather of Caroline Hose. Then he will also be a direct reason why I exist

I know that this family tie is purely speculation - I have nothing that relates us. But if I assume this correct - when I hold this piece in my hand - I hold an item my great great great great and don't know how many great father hammered 250 years ago.

Nothing to support theory - except my wish, and a bit geography. A possible baptism use of family name - naming children after mother/father as is custom in my country. It could be...

I hope that it is so - can I feel the family ties during more that 250 years?

Caroline A. Hose had a father Poul Christian Hose born 1801.
Poul Christian Hose - had a father called Jens Christian Hose and he was married 21 October 1796
Jens Christian Hose's fathers name was Poul Hose (same name as the one born 1801)
Poul Hose was born approximately 1727.

Here it ends. Poul Hose could somewhat be related to Carl Hoose (the silversmith) Don't know relationship. However as his age suits the relationship. I trust that it is there.

Conclusion would be that my ancester Poul Hose is most likely son of the silversmith. (or at least the silversmith is his uncle)

The silversmith was poor - and wife did not continue business. That would also mean the any children of theirs did not go the "silver way". If they had children they would have changed business.

All the Hose in my family where having their own business as carpenters. From father to son untill that stopped around WW1 - my grandfather. He was educated making furniture - and we have furniture that he has made. But he left that business.

In case relationship is there. My
great great great great great grandfather was Carl Hoose 7 generations before me.
