Hello Is anyone able to help with the above name please? The information I know (I hope!!). Charlotte b 11th Nov 1892 in Heidelberg was married 24th April 1914 to Ernest Melville ANDERSON in Victoria BC Canada. I believe that she had a sister Minnie who also was married in BC Canada and that their parents were Ludwig and Elizabeth. Any information about this family would be really welcome. When did any of them leave Germany for Canada? Where did they leave from, in what ship, and to where? Anything really welcome. Mike in Whakatane NZ.

Mike, There appears to be several UEBERLEs in the IGI Files at FamilySearch from Heidelberg and surrounding villages. However, the extraction appears to have ended in the year 1859. The records can be rented at you local LDS Family History Center (in NZ).

Hi The only name close for that ship was Ernst Kasselmann Age 28 - he was German and the date was Oct. 2 1872 The only other information is that I believe he was a watchmaker. I hope that this is the correct Ernst.

My 3 great grandfather's first and middle name was Franz Mathias. Once he settled in America he went by Frank or Mathew. I wouldn't necessarily leave out Francis. Franz's wife went by Francis once in America. It will depend on the records you are able to find under which name. Don't know about bout the last name issue.

The maps are excellent. However, does anyone know if there are versions of these maps that show to the connections from the German railroads to the ports of emmigration such as Rotterdam and LeHavre? This would make the German maps more valuable. In a message dated 10/26/2008 1:30:57 P.M.

Wilhelm, You asked: The box labelled "Place" seems to have certain preferences that are in the dark to me. I have been trying to "refine" some searches by parishes where I know that records are online (IGI). Most the time some text pops up whichen I start typing my own. Then I get the answer that there are no records from that area - but without typing anything into that field, I get resaults. ????????? Me: The field will only be populated from a standarized list. You must type in something and hope it is completed by the list's wizard. You may have to experiment. Excuse the U.S. examples, but this is what I was working on over the weekend. If I know the town, I can try it: Portland, Multnomah, Oregon, United States If I know the county: Multnomah, Oregon, United States If I know the state: Oregon, United States If I know the country, United States All of the above would have completed automatically after I started typing in what I knew. Start from the smallest entity and see if the rest of the field populates. You might have to pause to let the wizard catch up with you. Also, remember that the data for Germany is not complete so you might not have data for every place. Does that help? Paul
