Bayern german spelling for bavaria. Bayern - Bryne could sound similar Thomas W. from munich bavaria :O))

Once again. Bryne probably is Bayern. And Bayern is the german word for Bavaria. Thomas Welzhofer

Hi just put the name Hoehn or Höhn like we would say, in a german internet searchmachine Thomas

No idea what "Bryne" is, though. The Latin name is Bavaria, the German name is "Bayern", and the old name is Baiern. These days, "Baiern" refers to "Alt-Bayern", the original parts of Bayern, where the "Bajuwaren" used to live and Bavarian dialect is spoken, as opposed to the "Schwaben" (Swabians) and "Franken" (Francs/Franconians). (In addition, nowadays the expelled "Sudetendeutsche" (Sudeten Germans) are sometimes called the fourth tribe of Bavaria.)

Amen, we all learned alot, and everyone agrees we need to move on

Lorraine is correct on all counts (below). Other spellings I have seen for Bavaria are Bayern, Baiern, Bairn. Other members may have seen yet others.

You know, Janet, I bet the answer is the very simple one of the recorder not understanding what the answer to the question was. In other words, I bet the person giving his place of birth said Bayern or Baiern and the recorder heard Bry-en (and transposed the ne). If this is the case, you are still stuck with the the State of Bavaria but no town name. I put Bryne into the Shtetlseeker and it gave a long list of similar spellings and similar sounding names but nothing that might have been Bryne as a town name. Here is the url and you can see for yourself. http://www.jewishgen.org/ShtetlSeeker/loctown.htm Sorry, we couldn't help. Mary Ann > Hoehn family file there.

The reason I posted the question on Bryne to begin with is because I couldn't find it on any map of Germany that I have. I went online and checked different map sites. Also checked LDS library. My great great grandfather was born June 13, 1813 in Bavaria. I have researched this Hoehn family for at least 8 years and never found a town where he was born. All census records, death records, cemetery records just have Bavaria as his birthplace. Last week I finally found his brother Frank Hoehn. Someone went to the Putnam County Ohio library and found a Hoehn family file there. This file had Frank Hoehn's birthplace as Bryne Germany. That's why I posted this question to the Bavaria mail list. Just thought I'd explain why the question was brought up to begin with. Let's drop the subject now. Janet

Janet, don't let anyone stop you from asking, there are no dumb questions, only dumb not asking.There is another way of spelling Bavaria and that might be what you are looking for,at this minute I can't think of it, Old age.

> No idea what "Bryne" is, though. I believe that someone a couple of days ago mentioned that it was probably meant to be Bayern, and I tend to agree with that. Maybe a year ago another person ran into this same problem and some on the list came to agree that it had to be Bayern. Like I mentioned previously, a lot of census takers or the person writing a document couldn't understand the 'old' German accents, so the town name or surname was written as the census taker/person 'heard' it. Just my two cents. Nancy

I'm sorry if I offened anyone. I'm new to this list and only asked a question. I did check the LDS library and other sources before I asked the question about where Bryne was. I thought these lists were suppose to help people. Sorry I won't ask anymore questions. Janet

Now may I add my apology for having sent that last communication to the list. It was intended only for the sender and not meant to be aired in public.

Kathy, I did not see the original request but, for openers, perhaps that person did not know about the phone book at LDS. Or perhaps that person can't get to an LDS center on his/her own for lack of proximity, health problems or whatever. Perhaps, with the proper help, that phone book might even be available online. Or perhaps I misunderstood your communication. It does sound angry. And that is how many of these online fights begin. I do hope I am wrong!

Why oh why dont YOU look for it yourself in the german phone book or at the LDS? Kathy

Just wanted to say thank you to the people who answered my question on Bryne. I guess I will keep searching in Bavaria for my Hoehn family. Has anyone seen that name? Janet

Janet, I hope Thomas Semmelbauer will come back to this list and enlighten us with more information about Bryne, Bavaria. I can't find it in any of my sources.

Ja, Bavaria ist Bryne! Danke Thomas Semmelbauer
