Hi listers, could some one please tell me what "Stabs Kammerath" means, I received it in some information I was given written by the rellies in Germany back in the mid 1800's, it states RITTER Bartholo (b) Stade, Germany, Bartholo was the "Stabs Kammerath". Thanking you, Gay & Bob

Hi Everyone, Hope we didn't eaat too much for Christmas - I did! I too have a couple of names I would like checked if someone gets a moment. Anna Louise KRAUSE b. 8 Apr 1882 d. 1959? married 22 Sep 1904 ? Wilhelm Johann Christian GERBER b. 1880? d. 1965? Many thanks, Kerry Muller Melbourne

Someone recently mentioned having the Queensland death records and offered to do lookups. Could you please see if the parents are mentioned for: Benjamin BERLIN Died 6th November 1927 aged 49 years. Leonard W. BERLIN Died 29th Aug 1969 aged 62 years Desmond John BERLIN accidently killed June 7, 1958 aged 22 years These were inscriptions from the Marburg Cemetery. As all of the other Berlins in that cemetery are my relatives, I am assuming these are as well, but do not have them in my files. Any information gratefully received, Jill Tumes, Adelaide.

I would just like to wish our list members a wonderful Christmas and New Year, and would like to thank everyone that has provided me with advice and invaluable information throughout the year. Kind Regards, Kerry Muller (coolish) Melbourne

I wish everyone a safe, healthy and happy Christmas and New Year. Cheers Marionne

Fay Walker keeps sending em emails but no content. The address and heading only. I had a problem similar to Beverly a couple of weeks back in that half what I sent out came back and a stack of messages I sent up to a year ago came aback to me. I also had a number of emails with no message. The originators denied sending them. I thought it had ceased but Fay seems persistent if only she would then tell me something.

I am confused again or still. I have a map given me by a member of the Hoffmann family. *It has an arrow pointing to Reichenau. This place is south eats of Berlin it seems and near a town called Cuben or maybe Luckenwalde. The arrow says that Reichenau is on the Bobber River. If this is so then Reichenau is not far form Cottbus according to this map. Now my problem is that all records say that they came from Reichenau in Silesia which some kind listers informed me is Schlesien (bet I spelt it wrong),which is near Poland. Somehow one of these is wrong. Can anyone sort me out please. Albert Grulke in beautiful hot summery Melbourne at last.

Listers - for those of you who use either tpg or tpgi in you email address I have just had 7 messages as noted failed in an attempt to deliver. Is this particular server having trouble right now? Why are some addresses noted as tpg and others noted as tpgi? just wondering, Beverly. Life on Earth is Expensive, but at least you get a free trip around the sun....... So wear a hat and enjoy the ride!

Hi Everyone, I have been corresponding with Alice from Denmark. Has anyone on our lists come across these names please? I have no other way to help her, and was hoping that SKS has come across some of these names and would respond directly to Alice who is not a list member. Thank you everyone for your help, as I know in the past we have helped each other whenever possible. TIA Lorrae -----Original Message----- From: Alice K. Hønborg [mailto:alice.honborg@mail.tele.dk] Sent: Monday, 17 December 2001 7:18 AM To: Lorrae Johnson Subject: SV: Morten Madsen Hi Lorrae, Thank you so much for quick response and for Morten Madsen-info. My first guess was that Wilhelmine's maiden surname is spelled Sommerfeld, because that name is present in Denmark, Netherlands, Germany, Preussen, Poland and Russia. Later it turns to a more English way of spelling, I guess. I have been searching via Internet Rootsweb, Genealogy.com, yahoo, jubii etc. hoping to find more info of Morten and his family. I guess grandchildren of Morten and Wilhelmine are still living in Australia; it could be nice to get contact, share pictures etc. with family. A daughter of Morten Madsen's sister is still living in Denmark, 84 years old, I long for telling her of the Australian family. I had a look at www.firstfamilies2001.net.au <http://www.firstfamilies2001.net.au > and found a Wilhelmine Sommerfeld, mother: Caroline Hentschel, married to Martin Sommefeld, who adopted the children of Caroline. The family came from Preussen to Qld in 1861. If Wilhelmine was 26 years old in 1861, say born in 1835, could it then be her marrying Morten, born in 1855?

Morten Madsen left Denmark in 1874 for going to Queensland, Australia His brother, Carl Madsen visited him and worked in Australia 1888 - 1893 before he left for Fresno, California to work at the same place as my great grandfather, Rasmus Madsen. I do wonder if Morten Madsen got married, had children and have descendants in Australia? I have thanks to Internet and a wonderful lady in Clovis, Caifornia, US found a first cousin of my father's, the grandchild of my great grandfather, Rasmus Madsen. If you or somene you know want some look-ups in Danish archives, please let me know and I'll try to help you. Merry Christmas regards Alice K. Honborg
