I ran into my older sister's genealogy post on an Unknown Havermann yesterday and I was wondering how it ever came to this. Back in 2010 we had a brief email discussion on the matter (I've made some of my reply-text bold for emphasis):

I read with interest your blog on our family tree. I am amazed that you were able to go back that far. Question: Generation V: Heinrich (living with his mother in 1900) +
[The Generation-V link is a 2022-updated page. The + is a date-of-death marker. In 2010, I did not yet know that date. I have a Neheim1900 excerpt that lists only some family names.]
I have a Heinrich who was a child of Sette – born: Jan.30/1901; died: Feb.26/1922 which seems to be at odds with your information that he was a child of Heinrich Havermann and Maria Messelke. Perhaps we are talking about another Heinrich?

My Heinrich came directly from dad's Stammbuch. I had scanned a copy of it for my computer but I have since lost that file because of a hard drive failure a couple of years ago. You will have to look at the original (assuming it wasn't thrown out). The residents-living-in-Neheim-in-1900 list basically confirms the existence of that person. He is old enough to be a Fabrikarbeiter and indeed, because his father died in 1876, he would have been at least 24 years old then.

Thanks for your email clarifying my inquiry. I do have the "Ahnenpass". This seems to be a booklet that belonged to the relatives in Wattenscheid. Is this the same as the "Stammbuch" that you are referring to. I am willing to share the information with you if you want. Let me know.

[to part 1] Yes, that sounds like it. It does have Heinrich as a son of Heinrich, does it not?
[to part 2] No. I have all the information I need.
