Recently found out my ggrandmothers maiden name is different than we had thought for several years. We thought she was Schliemann but found out she is a HOEFT. Mary/Maria Augusta HOEFT born Feb 1852, immigrated 1856 with family, married Elwood Graff in Adrian, MI in early 1867. First child was Anna born Jan 1868 in Adrian. The Graff, Hoeft, and Schliemann families all knew each other in MI and highly possible they knew each other in Germany also. It is thought that Elwood's mother married a Schliemann in MI. If anyone has one or more of these names PLEASE get in touch with me. I am supposed to go to a reunion in Germany this summer and this new bit of info has really mixed things up. > > Also for those of you who know German names well, we have found out that Elwood is not a real German name and probably was used instead of an unpronounceable German name. If anyone has any ideas about what that difficult name might have been let me know. > > Thanks a bunch, > Mary Lou in TX > Rootsweb supporter > > ______________________________ > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Subject: [BAVARIA] Bavaria, US, and Canada Genealogical Associations > Date: Wed, 8 Mar 2000 00:05:51 EST > From: JOPARMLEY@aol.com > To: BAVARIA-L@rootsweb.com > > BAVARIA (BAYERN) > > Bayerischer Landsverein für Familienkunde > Winzerstrasse 68, 80797 Munich > > Gesellschaft für Familienforschung in Franken > Archivstrasse 17, 90408 Nürnberg > (Only concerned with the Franken (Franconia) area) > > Schwäbische Forschungsmeinschaft > Universität Augsburg > Universitätstrasse 10, 86159 Augsburg > > GERMAN GENEALOGICAL ASSOCIATIONS IN NORTH AMERICA > > American-German Historical Association > 4246 South 3100 Street, Salt Lake City, UT 84117 > > American Historical Society of Germans from Russia > 631 D Street, Lincoln, NE 68502 > > American Schleswig-Holstein Heritage Society > P.
