Thanks to all who answered my question. I thought it had something to do with sheep because many of my ancestors were shepherds. Mary June Foulk Knoxville Tennessee -----Original Message----- From: DStaiert <DStaiert@aol.com> To: baden-wurttemberg <baden-wurttemberg@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thu, Nov 7, 2013 9:55 am Subject: Re: [BW] Schafereibesitzer Mary, The literal translation is "Sheep farm occupier", but I think Schäfereibesitzer was more than just an occupational name. The "besitzer" or "occupier" wasn't a renter or owner in the modern sense. He owed some combination of services, part of his crop, (in later times taxes/rents), etc. on an annual basis to the lord/bishop/authority who actually owned the land. But at the same time the "besitzer" had hereditary rights to pass on this occupation of the land to his heirs. So while he didn't own the land, he couldn't just be dispossessed either without some sort of due process and justification. Depending on location, this feudal form of ownership and land occupation was converted to the modern sense of ownership and/or rents sometime usually by the 1800's. In many cases the "besitzer" became a true owner and the equivalent of what he formerly provided as service was now paid in some form of taxes. Also if the farms were named in this area, it probably carried the name Schäferei, which may or may not been a sheep farm at the time of your ancestor, but at least at some point in its' early history was a sheep farm from which it received it's name. It is also possible that your ancestor may have been "known" or "called" by the farm name when referred to by other villagers of the area.

Carroll, If others on this list are interested in the process for finding unknown cousins in Germany or any European country see the notes after my reply to Carroll. Carroll, I've copied you off list so that you will be able to open the attached .pdf file with the seven contacts. Let me know if you have any questions. I looked at the German telephone directory and was able to determine the names addresses and telephone numbers of the Geiser family members living in the vicinity of Buehlertal. Be aware that there are two alternate spellings for the two individuals actually living in Buehlertal. Those with the spelling of "Geiser" are located in the two neighboring postal codes but you will want to contact all seven individuals. Use snail mail and take you letters to your local post office, as international mail requires special postage. Begin by formulating a brief message in English unless you speak fluent German. I always start my message by stating that German is not my native language and therefore I am using an electronic translator to translate my message. Many Europeans have some knowledge of English and are able to make sense of any errant translations. Briefly convey information about your ancestor who left Buehlertal and any of his or her siblings and parents. Let them know you have a trip planned to the area. Finish by providing all of your contact information including your e-mail address. After you have the message completed, use Google Translate to also obtain a German version. Place both on the same page with the German version at the top and send your letter to each of the seven individuals. *The process for attempting to contact unknown cousins in Germany/Europe.* Here is the simple process that can be used to locate potential unknown cousins. Begin by visiting the website for the German (Country of choice) Post Office. Deutsche Post code finder - http://www.postdirekt.de/plzserver/PlzSearchServlet?lang=en_GB Type the name of the village or town. You will be presented with a listing of those included in that postal code. At the top of the list are two tabs. Click on "Map View". That allows you to view the surrounding postal codes as well. Next visit the website for the German (Country of choice) telephone directory. German Telephone Directory - http://www2.dastelefonbuch.de/english.html In the box labeled "Wer/Was" type the surname of interest. In the box labeled "Wo" type the postal code. Click on Finden. Tom O'Brien Oregon City, OR 97045

I have only recently learned that my grandfather, Stephen Geiser, born in 1850 in Buehlertal. I would like to establish contact with anyone who has knowledge of this family name, ideally a Geiser family descendant. I would like to learn as much as possible about Buehlertal and the Geiser Schmiedewerks Museum because I plan to visit Buehlertal in 2014. I hope to hear from anyone who can assist with this request.

"The FB account is just another distraction." Your statement made me chuckle because for me, genealogy is way more of a distraction than FB - I often ignore cleaning my house and preparing meals because I want to do just one more of my endless research tasks... I originally joined FB to participate in the lives of my 30ish adult children because they post their photos, recipes, activities, etc there. Since that time, I have found many uses for myself especially around photos and genealogy. For example, we have a Cousins group on my mother's side where I can post unidentified photos or ask for information and have that info shared back. It's possible to allow FB to be a distraction if you join in all the games and ads, but I have turned all that stuff off. I do not allow FB to become a distraction. genealogy, now, that's a different story...Just another opinion on the subject.
