Good morning, My g/g/grandparents emigrated from Bremen in 1893. Apparently all the departure lists from the 1800's have been lost/destroyed. Does any one know where the ships from Bremen landed. I am looking for Peter Braun who left Germany in 1893 with his wife Anna Katharina & children Martin, Nickolas,Barbara, Helena,Katharina & Maria. I am hoping someone will be able to help me. Thanks Marj

The following is a link that will let you watch Slovak and Czech TV among many other countries using your computer. I believe that most of these are also available using a Free To Air (FTA) receiver and a satellite dish. http://wwitv.com/ There is a mix of live, taped and web site broadcasts to chose from. Ever Wonder ? _Bill

I have noted in my file that Joseph Kaufman married Maggie Polashek. Their son Henry was born 11 July 1870 in Moravia and died in Vining, Iowa on 04 December 1941. He died at the school there while carrying out ashes. He married Mary Hruby in 1903 at the St. Joseph's Catholic Church in Chelsea, Iowa. Their children are William, Fred (who died at age one) and Emma. Emma married Charles Bartachek. This information was gleaned from the Chelsea, Iowa history book published in 1989 of which I have a copy. ----- Original Message ----- From: <rm62759@windstream.net> To: <CZECH@rootsweb.com> Cc: <vernon9123@gmail.com> Sent: Friday, November 09, 2007 9:29 AM Subject: [CZ] Non-Subscriber Query On Fri Nov 9 07:42:08 2007, the following message was submitted via the mailmerge server running on apache@freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com NAME: Vernon Barlow, <vernon9123@gmail.com> has sent the following query to the CZECH Mail List: MESSAGE: In the late 1860's Rosalie Polashek and John Staricky were married in a small town of Pribor, Moravia.

Bill, The area what is written about is western Bohemia, the westernmost part of the Czech Republic near borderline with Germany (Bavaria). I live in north-eastern Moravia, the easternmost part of the Czech Republic near borderline with Slovakia.:-) Now I am sure that the numbers describes the address of the persons, for example "Franz Baier Nr. 26" means "Franz Baier from Unterhütten 26" I am not sure about the Czech name of Unterhutten but another places in the text I can locate. Muttersdorf - Mutenin http://maps.google.com/maps?q=49.5500,12.7500+(Mutenin) Schwarzach - Svarcava http://maps.google.com/maps?q=49.5000,12.6500+(Svarcava) Perhaps the Unterhutten could be a ghost town today as well as (Schwarzach - Svarcava).

>From discussions on this list, I think more is being made of this site and it's list of names. Based on the descriptions of the database which are rather clear, these people are non residents of Prague and are treated like "immigrants". The police were responsible for registering them and keeping track on them. When they left Prague or changed addresses in the city, they had to register again. If you are looking for permanent residents, then you have to look for some kind of directory of residents (which I am not aware of) or a census record. Prague Municipal records do have births, marriages and deaths, but these are listed when the event occurred and the place it occurred. If you do not know that information, the record cannot be located. As in most American cities of any size, about 1910 the municipalities and businesses put together a directory for general use. These directories gave addresses and the names of people living at that address. Later the directory gave telephone numbers and occupations too. rvm From: Anettka@aol.com Date: 2007/11/05 Mon AM 09:50:30 CST To: czech@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [CZ] CZECH Residents of Prague docs on-line I've been searching this list for family members I thought would be in Praha and have not found any sign of them.

That's a good suggestion. I'll try something like that later. It would be nice to know exactly what the list was -- I was under the assumption that it was for any residents of Prague. Sounds like people had to register so the police/authorities would know where they were living. And then if they moved or left the city, they had to let the authorities know -- perhaps they had to have permission? Maybe someone else knows the answer. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Carol Rogers" <homealot@earthlink.net> To: <czech@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, November 04, 2007 12:18 PM Subject: Re: [CZ] CZECH Digest, Vol 2, Issue 203 >I did a little test to see how this works as some of my surnames were > picking up nothing.
