Hello, For those interested in town/city coats of arms, take a look here. Parts of these sites are in German, but I think you can probably navigate it okay. http://www.bng.nl/ngw/int/dld/germany.htm and for the towns and cities of Bavaria: http://www.bayern.de/HDBG/gemeind/index.htm Hope this is helpful, Mary Ann --- Mary Ann Allen wallen@pipeline.com The Gathering Place http://sites.netscape.net/murrallen/homepage

I am not sure where my SCHUSTER LINE is coming from or going to. It is possible there were several members who came "over" together. (Many "villages" immigrated "in-mass") Mary SCHUSTER married William ALDRUP (SR) prior to coming "over" Census records only indicate Bavaria. What info do you have on SCHUSTER? Maybe we can break the SCHUSTER Wall together!

I am looking for connections to the (von) Manger family which came from the Wurzberg/Bamberg area. Karl Georg von Manger b. about 1750 emigrated to Bohemia in the late 1700s. His decendants remained in Bohemia until at least the 1930s. Tim Jachowski

Hi there, Try Cyndi's List for Dutch sites, and if you don't find enough contact me personally. I have several great ones. I'll be out of touch until Thursday the 2nd, however.

Hi Folks This may not be the right site on which to ask this question, but maybe some of you can help. Does anyone know of any genealogy web sites for the Netherlands? Thanks, Phyllis b.b@cyberback.com

Would the person who wanted information about a Zapfen wappen (coat of arms) please contact me. Thanks. Barbara Wardenburg barbward@ix.netcom.com Los Altos Hills, California

I don't see why he couldn't have been. If he had some good recipes..."the Best of their Trade" served the King! That was very common and know to all back then.

Would any body have any info on a George Gruber, born Munich, BAvaria 1820/30's, married Theres Zerreis and had 4 children. Bertha who married........ Schulze, Charles, Max 1853-1916 married 1891 in Birmingham England we think and Johann Georg 1855-1910 (my GGGrandfather) married 1880 in Camberwell England to CAroline Louise Vallerius 1858-1915. Any info would be greatly appreciated. We were told that George was master brewer and chief sausage maker to the King of Bavaria, could this be true or perhaps a story?? Thank you for your time in advance Regards Caroline

I wish to thank everyone who responded to my query regarding Niederlindhart Parish Records. Your kind responses, which clarified the situation and suggested methods for continuing my research will be most helpful. Note to Georg--It seems that any complaints I may have had would be kept in the family. Regards to all Dennis Buckberger

Dear Gerald, I, too, have ancestors who were invited to be married along with the Crown Prince of Bavaria in 1842. I have a Bavarian penpal who found the following church document from Atting, Bavaria regarding my Schätz ancestors: churchbooks Atting, volume 5, pages 56/57, FN 94 With highest ministerial order all the government-presidencies of the Kingdom, and from those all the Royal Courts of Justice, got in May 1842 the order to care and to work, that qualified young brides and bridegrooms from the provinces of our country shall be send to Munich in Oct. 16, 1842 in a festive way to be joyful part of the highest wedding of his Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Bavaria with her Royal Highness Princess Maria von Preußen, where they shall be joined in marriage at the time of the before mentioned highest wedding at the Royal church St.Michael, and after that they shell be part of the public joyful celebrations of the highest wedding. Because in this year Anna Schätz, widow and female farmer in Atting, handed over her farm estate to her only son Georg Schätz, and he chose Helena Wild, unmarried miller's daughter from Atting, as his bride, and those young two persons in every respects owned the best reputation, so I, their minister, made an effort, they, those worthy bride and bridegroom to recommend strongly to the Honorable Titel Herrn Ritter Karl August von Vimenti?(illegible), at that time Royal Country Judge and City commissioner in Straubing, because of sending them to Munich. With joy that recommendation was accepted and after eager preparations of the Titel Herr Country Judge and with my most possible assistance because of the joyful and excellent sending, bride and bridegroom were sent together with 5 "heads" of people who are usually part of weddings on Oct. 13, 1842 early in the morning on a street parade float which was decorated very tasteful with a blue and white winded and with flowers decorated arch, surrounded by blue and white garlands and decorated with many Bavarian flags, pulled by four stately stallions. There were lots of people who watched how the street parade float started in Atting. They drove to Straubing and then to Munich and were joined to marriage Oct. 16, 1842, 10 o'clock in the morning, by the most Reverend Herrn Anton Reißacher, Cooperator of the town parish church St.Peter, with a delegation of their own people from the parish and after showing the marrriage-document, date Oct.16, 1842, which was sent from the parish-office and with marriage-permission of the Court of Justice from Sept. 22, 1842. After that they were part of the parade on the Theresienwiese (Therese's meadow) together with the brides and bridegrooms who were sent from the other provinces and the highest Royal Court. Because of registration here will be mentioned the names of the married couple, the parents and the witnesses of the marriage /: look opposite page :/ Because this fact is a historical memorableness. I hope this information helps you. Sue Nola Salt Lake City, UT

Hello, The Jewish Shtetlseeker listed 2 Simmern. http://www.jewishgen.org/ShtetlSeeker/loctown.htm One was large enough to be named on the map. The other was too small. That one shows only the red star no matter how close you get. Take a look at both and see which one is nearest to where your mother believes her people came from. Save the URL for the Shtetlseeker. It is invaluable.

Greetings list members, If a ship captain or a minister on board a ship married a couple while the ship was at sea, was that recorded along with the births and deaths on the manifest? I don't remember ever seen it, but then I wasn't specifically looking for it. LaVerne
