    3.   True. But I don't think that the one closer to Königgrätz (Hradec Králové) was ever known as Hammerdorf.

    3. Margaret, a couple of other details ...   According to an article written in the mid 1950's by one of the expellees, Leder was one of the 10 most common surnames in the Himmlisch Rybnai area and one of the 70 most common names in the Adlergebirge.   In 1930, Hammerdorf had a population of 96 (2 Czechs, the rest German, all Catholic) and 28 houses.   Mary     >________________________________ >From: Margaret Johnson <mjo123@wildblue.net> >To: GERMAN-BOHEMIAN@rootsweb.com >Sent: Monday, April 23, 2012 5:56 PM >Subject: [GERMAN-BOHEMIAN] Leder Family > >hello,  I am looking for information about the Leder family, German people who lived in what is now Czechoslovakia before WW2.  They were driven out after the war and relocated to various locations in Germany.  We were told they lived in "Hammerdorf", but we cannot find Hammerdorf on any map.  I believe it was somewhere east of Jena. > >Thank you, > >Margaret Johnson >German-Bohemian Heritage Society web site http://www.rootsweb.com/~gbhs/ >------------------------------- >To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to GERMAN-BOHEMIAN-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message > > >

    2. Mary Boyd
    3.   Margaret,   Hammerdorf/Hamernice is a small village which belonged to the parish at Himmlisch Rybnai/Nebeská Rybná. The next larger town near these villages is Rokitnitz/Rokytnice v Orlických horách. They are in ENE Czech Republic near the border with Poland. The vital records for Hammerdorf are in the archive at Zámrsk with the records for Himmlisch Rybnai. A quick check showed that the church registers for Hammerdorf have been scanned and are online. The link to information about available records at Zámrsk is here: http://vychodoceskearchivy.cz/zamrsk/matriky/   Open or download the inventory of parish registers pdf file on this page. Then you can search for Hammerdorf within the pdf file. There are links to the downloadable church registers for each parish. The downloadable registers are scanned pages of the churchbooks which have been compressed into large zip files. I would recommend a fast internet connection as the zip files are sometimes huge (over 500Mb each).   I don't know why one would ask for information about Hammerdorf/Hamernice on the Moravian list when this village was obviously in Bohemia (in the Adlergebirge)?   Mary >________________________________ >From: Aida Kraus <draytonharbor@gmail.com> >To: german-bohemian@rootsweb.com >Sent: Tuesday, April 24, 2012 5:49 AM >Subject: Re: [GERMAN-BOHEMIAN] Leder Family > >Margaret, this is what is offered for Hamernice Czech Republic records: >*Hamernice* (5864), environs of Pěčín, Soutok, Orlické hory PLA;  And for >more historical background go to this website: >http://www.multilingualarchive.com/ma/dewiki/en/%C5%BDamberk >I suggest that you post your request for the Leder family on the German >Moravian rootsweb list where you might be better served than on the German >Bohemian list. >Aida > >On Mon, Apr 23, 2012 at 9:52 PM, Aida Kraus <draytonharbor@gmail.com> wrote: > >> Dear Margaret, Hammersdorf/Hamersdorf has the Czech name of Hamernice now >> and is north of Senftenberg, which is called Zumberk in Czech.  Click on >> the link below and see some pictures of the area, where they also give >> direction to access birth certificates in this area. >> http://www.picturepastime.com/?c=ez&UF=-544825&UN=-770690&DG=PPL >> Since I cannot attach any maps here, I am sending you ( to your private >> Email) two old German detail maps of the area and a Czech map  for present >> geographical location.  I hope that this will help you along. >> Aida >> >> >> >> On Mon, Apr 23, 2012 at 5:56 PM, Margaret Johnson <mjo123@wildblue.net>wrote: >> >>> hello,  I am looking for information about the Leder family, German >>> people who lived in what is now Czechoslovakia before WW2.  They were >>> driven out after the war and relocated to various locations in Germany.  We >>> were told they lived in "Hammerdorf", but we cannot find Hammerdorf on any >>> map.  I believe it was somewhere east of Jena. >>> >>> Thank you, >>> >>> Margaret Johnson >>> German-Bohemian Heritage Society web site http://www.rootsweb.com/~gbhs/ >>> ------------------------------- >>> To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to >>> GERMAN-BOHEMIAN-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without >>> the quotes in the subject and the body of the message >>> >> >> >German-Bohemian Heritage Society web site http://www.rootsweb.com/~gbhs/ >------------------------------- >To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to GERMAN-BOHEMIAN-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message > >

    1. [GERMAN-BOHEMIAN] Wolfersdorf Records
    2. Krin Warr
    3. In 2005, I somehow managed to find a lady to provide some information for me from some archives. I’m not entirely sure what I asked about to start with, but was hoping someone could help me understand that so I can get started (again) in my understanding and research of records in Wolfersdorf Bohemia. I don’t recall how I came across the contact information, but here is where I believe I looked to request information from: http://www.genealogienetz.de/reg/SUD/kb/wolfersdorf.html She kindly emailed me back with this information and I was never able to contact/connect with her again for more details of what she provided me: Dear Mrs. Warr, last week I was in the Cech.Republic, searching the Dates of your family Keller/Blumtritt. I found: Keller Johann Nepomuk, born 12. June 1832 his sister Keller Johanna, born 26. April 1834 und the other two brotheres Keller Vinzenz, born 10. May 1837 and Keller Hieronimus, born 16. December 1840 in Wolfersdorf No. 196. Father: Keller Anton, Glasschneider in Wolfersdorf No. 196 Mother: Blumtritt Theresia, born in Neudörfel No. 35. Grandfather: Keller Ignaz, Glasschneider in Meistersdorf No. 90 married Fritsch Johanna, born in Meistersdorf No. 40. Blumtritt Josef, Hausierer in Neudörfel No. 35 married Alber Rosalia, born in Neudörfel No.38. I had no more time for searching the dates of marriage, but I hope I could help you. My english is not very good, but I hope you can understand. Edeltraud Günther My ancestor is Hieronimus Keller. The place, Wolfersdorf Bohemia was listed in a family bible, I was given that information from a relative in Canada and that is how I came to start searching the Wolfersdorf area. So far I know that the three brothers ended up in Glasgow, Scotland. Vincent and Hieronimus married there, John married in Trieste, Italy. With Hieronimus and his family coming to America eventually. The families are much easier to track and put together once they are in Scotland as glass engravers. I happened to obtain a marriage certificate from Trieste also, but the information above providing information on the grandparents is the farthest back I have been able to get so far. Also, are there records/lists that exist for people who left Bohemia traveling to places like Scotland? Are there routes they would most likely take to travel to Scotland? If anyone can provided me with some information to get started again, where to look or write for more information, or anything at all I would truly appreciate it. K. Warr

    1. Re: [GERMAN-BOHEMIAN] Transcription Help with Baptismal Registration
    2. Marco, sorry I was maybe something cursory. Your Franz was the son from Johan(n), who was the son from Josef and Anna nee Wagner. All from the same place Prachatice "von hier" Yes you are correct: S:d: Sohn des u: und g: geborene I know many other records where stood for example (I take your names): Johan, son from Joseph, fellow citizen and the Anna nee Josef Wagner from here, stocking knitting master. It was an error from me. I saw in other records from this page, that the priest had always written only the birthname from this wife and not additional the first name from her father. Sorry. Yes, I think this occupation "Strumpfwirkermeister" http://www.german-hosiery-museum.de/technik/02erfindunghandwirkstuhl/handwirkstuhl.htm pertains to Johan. It stands not by Joseph (only fellow citizen). I think "von hier" means that Anna (and maybe her family) came from same parish how the Knops family. You see for example by the first record above from this page, there stand: Andreas, son from Martin.....Bürger in Wallern (not sure, bad readable) and the Maria nee Kindermann "von dort"..... So it means that Maria's family came also from Wallern "from there", how the family from Martin, but not from the birthplace from Thomas, who was then born in Prachatice.

    3. Lars, it is indeed helpful. Thank you for taking the time to transcribe that portion. After reading your transcription, I can now make out the words better. That was exactly what I was hoping to get some help with. With your help, I now transcribe the text in this column as follows... Johan, S:d: Josef Knops, Mitbürger, u der Anna g: Wagner van hier, Strumpfwirkermeister Where... S:d: = sohn der u = und g: = geborene (For reference) I transcribe this column's heading as follows... Name und Stand deb Vater I hope I'm not too much of a nuisance if I follow up with a few questions. (1) I'm a bit confused about the portion relating to Anna where you wrote that the priest seemingly forgot her father's given name. My impression is that the information in this particular column where you transcribed the script is only about the father of the baptized child. (The next column to the right is about the mother of the baptized child.) According to my current understanding, it lists Johan as the father of Franz. It also says that Johan is the son of Josef Knops and Anna Wagner. Am I mistaken? (2) Whose occupation is Strumpfwirkermeister? Does that refer to Johan (father of Franz) or one of his parents? My assumption is it is Johan's occupation since this column is about the father, not grandparents. (3) To whom does the "von hier" apply? Does that refer to Johan (father of Franz) or one of his parents? My assumption, as above, is it is Johan's residence. Many thanks from Minneapolis, Minnesota! Marco P.S. Thanks too to Susan who contacted me offline and offered a translation of some of the text on the page. -----Original Message----- From: german-bohemian-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:german-bohemian-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of HANUSH@gmx.de Sent: Friday, April 13, 2012 10:04 AM To: german-bohemian@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [GERMAN-BOHEMIAN] Transcription Help with Baptismal Registration Hi Marco, hier what I could read: Josef Knops, Mitbürger und der Anna geborene: Wagner von hier, Strumpfwirkermeister.

    3. This is my first message to this list. My gggrandfather left Bohemia in the 1850s, eventually settling in Dunn County, Wisconsin. Last night I did some searching on the internet and discovered that the digital archives of SRA Trebon have parish registers for Prachatice--or Prachatietz as it's written on headstones in Menomonie, WI. Unfortunately, I don't speak German. I've had some experience working with the Norwegian Gothic script, but I'm still struggling to transcribe and understand what is written in my grandfather's baptismal registration. I'd be very grateful for any assistance. The record is located here: http://digi.ceskearchivy.cz/en/6643/86 My grandfather is on the fifth row from the bottom: 28 Feb 1840, Franz Knops. My goal is a transcription of (1) his row and (2) the column headings at the top of the table. I think I can handle the translation myself. A transcription is more important to me. My apologies in advance if this sort of request is inappropriate for this list. Marco in Minneapolis PS. I have some proficiency in working with Italian and Latin records, so if I can return the favor on that front, don't hesitate to ask.

    2. Regarding this post, how does one access in English the link/URL/site for Graslitz, Bohemia? TIA. Marybeth ========================================================================== German-Bohemian Heritage Society web site http://www.rootsweb.com/~gbhs/ Today's Topics: 1. www.GenTeam.at - Austria?s largest genealogical database - about 2 Million new Data entries / 15,500 Users (IHFF) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Mon, 2 Apr 2012 09:20:45 +0200 From: "IHFF" <office@ihff.at> Subject: [GERMAN-BOHEMIAN] www.GenTeam.at - Austria?s largest genealogical database - about 2 Million new Data entries / 15,500 Users To: <german-bohemian@rootsweb.com> Vienna, April 2, 2012 New at GenTeam about 2 Million new entries 1. Auto-complete function for enquiries of the databases. 2. New indices of Catholic matrices from Lower and Upper Austria, Burgenland, Styria and Bohemia 3. New Slovenian database In Our Own Interest: With today's new online databases, the users now have more than 6,9 million entries at their disposal. Since January 2010, more than 15,500 users have registered with GenTeam. Aproximately 80% of all users turn regularly to the databases and use them several times a month for their research. Because of technical reasons an overal search can need a few seconds - we work to fasten it. I would like to express here my gratitude to all who have furnished data to GenTeam in the last 26 months or have worked on long-term projects, but I also would like to thank those who have invisibly supported the build-up and the successful functioning of GenTeam. Also the GenTeam Mailing List is being frequented nationally and internationally by more than 1,000 participants with questions for their personal research. Take advantage of this opportunity and register! GenTeam is free of charge, a non-profit organization, and not bound on any membership fees. GenTeam is a group of historians and genealogist, who work independently or as a team on databases and who furnish these databases free of charge to hobbyists and other researchers. 1. Auto-complete Function When Inquiring The Databases We all know the problems of phonetically written variants of surnames (and are very familiar with typing mistakes in databases) which are often cumbersome and hard to overcome. GenTeam has installed the Auto-Complete Function which works independently of search keywords like: "is the same", "begins with" and the standard-function "contains". If a search contains 3 letters of a surname, a window opens with all names in which the three letters are contained. If you add a fourth letter, the number of names are reduced to the names in which these four letters are contained, and so forth. Therefore, one can recognize and chose easily phonetic-similar names. This function was also installed for given names as well as for indices of places. 2. New Indices extracted from Roman Catholic Matrices (Vital Statistics): Entries from Catholic Matrices from Lower and Upper Austria, Burgenland, Styria and Bohemia were added. Therefore, researchers now have more than 1.25 million entries at their disposal. Indices were added from: Lower Austria: Bockflie?, Drasenhofen, Emmersdorf, Gaweinsthal, Geras, Gro?harras, Hohenberg, Hohenreich, Hohenwarth, Karlstetten, Karlstift, Ladendorf, Niedersulz, Schweiggers, Traunfeld, Ulrichskirchen, Wieselburg, Wolfpassing Upper Austria: Maria Neustift, M?nzbach, and Saxen Bohemia: Graslitz Burgenland: Krensdorf Styria: Baptismal Index of the important parish Mariazell I would like to express my cordial thanks to Ursula Baldemaier, Mag. Fritz Eichler, Sabine Gr?nberger, Maria Schmutzer, Martina Schulz, Judith Starke, Franz Spevacek, and Theodora Winkler for their superb collaboration. I also would like to thank especially the "Heraldische Genealogische Gesellschaft Adler" (Heraldic Genealogic Association Adler), who furnished GenTeam the Josef-Heider-Indices from Upper Austria. 3. Slovenia - database of baptisms and marriages This database, consisting throughout of Catholic entries of baptisms and marriages, was furnished by the Society Slovensko rodoslovno dru?tvo in Laibach. Since the database contains ancestors of specific senders or sources, it contains also living descendants. Questions concerning further data or information of specific names or sources can be found under the following link: srd@guest.arnes.si. Caution: there still exist some errors concerning conversions of family names which will be continually corrected. At GenTeam, Austria?s largest genealogical database, you will find about 7 Million entries: -- Marriage Index of Vienna and surroundings between 1542 and 1860 -- Civil Marriages of Vienna between 1870 and 1908 -- Indices of Protestant marriages of Vienna Augsburger Confession (Augsburger Bekenntnis) and Helvetian Confession (Helvetisches Bekenntnis) between 1783 - 1879 -- Indices from the Jewish Cultural Community (Israelische Kultus- Gemeinde) Vienna between 1826 - 1910 -- Withdrawals from Judaism in Vienna between 1868 -1914 -- Converts in Vienna between 1782 - 1914 -- Forced Baptisms in the Vienna Foundling Home 1816-1868 -- Obituaries from the Neuen Freien Presse 1864-1938 -- Obituaries from Pester Lloyd 1870-1910 -- Obituaries from the Prager Tagblatt 1877-1938 -- Obituaries from Tyrolean Daily Newspapers 1815-1919 -- Index Collection from Catholic Church Registries 1590 - 1921 -- Index Collection from Protestant Church Registries 1627-1784 -- Index Collection of Jewish Matrices 1784 - 1925 -- Index Collection of Manorial Records in Lower Austria -- Index Collection of Catholic Church Registries from Slovenia -- Owners of parcels in Lower Austria 1817 -- Memorial Cards from both World Wars -- Medical Practitioners from Vienna -- Index of the Biographical Works of Wurzbach -- Registry of all Mills in Cisleithania 1876 -- Index of the Civil Registry of Nuremberg 1810 -1979 -- Index of Converts from the Waldviertel 1652 -1654 -- Membership Index of various Lodges 1783 - 1936 -- Skinners of Central Europe -- General Index of Siebmacher's Heraldic Lists -- Gazetter of Czech Republic, Austria along with South Tyrol, and Slovenian Republic I would be delighted if you too could furnish your database to all researchers free of charge, and I invite you to cooperate with GenTeam.
