Biography:
He and his family lived in Caracas. He was Consul in La Guaira, Venezuela for Holland, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, and others because he was fluent in several languages. Today, La Guaira is just a few minute ride down the hill from Caracas, however, before the turn of the century it was a long trip. So, Johan used to live during the week in La Guaira and go home to Caracas when he could.
Johan had a sister named Mimi. This we know from a circa 1860 picture with the caption "Tia Mimi hermana mia querada de Papa LH" and a picture of Carlos with the caption "Para mis queridos tia Mimi, Mamachi + Papachi, de su sobrino Carlos, Julio 16/1894"
Died:
His son Henrique's 1921 passport application stated he was dead about 15 years.
Johan married Obdulia Roldán on 1 May 1858 in Venezuela. Obdulia was born on 20 Jul 1841 in Venezuela; died on 2 May 1916 in Caracas, Venezuela. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

8. | Joseph Scholtz (5.Frederik3, 2.Maria2, 1.Evert1) was born on 7 Oct 1839 in Curaçao; died on 21 Feb 1911 in Hamilton, Bermuda. Other Events:
- Naturalization: 31 Mar 1876, Brooklyn, New York
Notes:
Birth:
August Lebergt Statius Muller went with Frederik Anthon to register Joseph's birth. Almost 60 years later August and Frederik's grandchildren (José Henrique Scholtz and Joanna Catharina van Daalen) would marry.
Anecdote:
The first record of Joseph after his birth is traveling to New York on 3 Mar 1876 and he was naturalized a few weeks later. When he arrived he was listed as a Master Mariner and as a Seaman when he was naturalized. Later he was known as a ship Captain. There are at least two records of him returning from Europe and several records from Bermuda where Eliza was from.
Joseph and Eliza resided in Brooklyn form 1876 until around 1883 when they lived in Montclair, NJ. By 1903, the last time Joseph shows up in a record, he was listed as residing in Bermuda.
Maritime records show him as captain of various vessels, some of which he owned, from 1872 until 1883 when he seems to have retired and moved to New Jersey and later back to Bermuda.
After Joseph and Eliza moved to New York, many of Johan's Children came to visit their aunt and uncle. Several eventually moved there. Carlos was the first. He came in 1882 and likely lived with Joseph and Eliza. After Carlos were Luis, Josephina, Eliza, Rosa Amalia, Alfredo, Isabel, and Henrique. At some point there was a falling out between Carlos and Joseph and they stopped talking to each other.
Naturalization:
His occupation was listed as Seaman, his former nationality was Dutch, and it was witnessed by Henry P. Kirkham of Hempstead, LI, NY.
Died:
From Wisden Cricketers' Almanack Obituary: CAPT. JOSEPH SCHOLTZ died suddenly at Hamilton, Bermuda, on February 21st, aged 71. He was born at Curaçao, and was one of the oldest members of the Hamilton C.C.
Joseph married Eliza Eleanor Peniston on 13 Feb 1868 in Smith's, Bermuda. Eliza was born in 1847 in Hamilton Parish, Bermuda; was buried in Saint Marks Church Cemetery. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
