Dennis this is most likely a misspelling for Chalupner, the recorder seem to spells it Chalupzner. This is a "Häusler" or a small house owner. Only the title can reveal if it was in ownership by the family, or leased to the people living there. If they had rights to live as part of their working contract, they would be listed as "Inwohner" but that same "title" was also used for actual Family members, journeymen or apprentices who lived in the family house. The ownership could only be established in the records. Often the title to the family property was either kept by the eldest family member or handed over to the next generation (which was mostly done to avoid paying inheritance taxes).

Short summary: http://www.staremapy.cz/  is a great site for old maps of the now Czech Republic. I followed the link Bill supplied below, but it just made me all jealous because it appears to have maps only for a region of Moravia (correct me if I'm wrong) and I'm interested in western Bohemia. So I decided to look around.  First I thought I would try the Plzen state archives site, which you can find at: http://www.soaplzen.cz/  (let your browser/google translate from Czech to English on all these.) No nice maps there that I could see though. At the lowerright, there's a map where you can select a particular regional archive. Selecting Tachov (Tachau) in my case, I come to State District Archives Tachov at http://www.soaplzen.cz/cs/soka-tc Again, no maps that I could see, but it does have some useful tools, such as town names (to help find Czech-German equivalents) and lists of which records it does hold. But, If you go to the main Plzen site and follow the "For Genealogists" link, then on the left there are selections including:   For the public -> Links -> Digital Maps and Mapping Applications. From there, following Old and Historic Maps of Bohemia Moravia and Silesia which takes you to: ta da! http://www.staremapy.cz/  If you like old maps, that is a really cool site that I want to explore more. I followed the Collections of old maps in CZ  link which leads to another page and here, I followed the I. Military Survey link. which explains the history of these maps from the 1700s. There if you click on the Bohemia/Cechy link, you are presented with a big grid-covered map of Bohemia. From here, just click on the particlar area you are interested in, grid #136 is my case, near Tachov and Plan. From there pan and zoom away! The II Military maps are from the early 1800s and the III Military are from the late 1800s. The earlier maps are at a scale of 1:28800, or a little better than 5 inches to the mile.  It won't tell you which field belonged to your ancestor, but the individual houses (unnumbered) are drawn on there.  Pretty cool! Enjoy!

Sorry, that last message got sent before it was complete. Examples of the term that I'm reading (probably wrongly) as Galuzzman are at: http://actapublica.eu/matriky/plzen/prohlizec/10798/?strana=2  Look in the 4th column under entries in 1844 for Pabla, George or Zohler, Eva. I don't find it in dictionaries which makes me think I am reading it wrong. Thanks for your help!

I see the term that I read as "Galuzzman" or Galuzzner"  fairly often as a 19th century occupation. http://actapublica.eu/matriky/plzen/prohlizec/10798/?strana=2 

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: Bockfließ, Drasenhofen, Emmersdorf, Gaweinsthal, Geras, Großharras, Hohenberg, Hohenreich, Hohenwarth, Karlstetten, Karlstift, Ladendorf, Niedersulz, Schweiggers, Traunfeld, Ulrichskirchen, Wieselburg, Wolfpassing Upper Austria: Maria Neustift, Münzbach, 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 Grünberger, 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 društvo 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. I gladly will be available to you any time at kontakt@GenTeam.at for further information. I also request that you forward this information to other Genealogical Lists, interested Individuals or Archives.

Yes, this is the person. I'm having trouble finding the passenger list. He's one of those people who stayed in the same place most of the time he's been in the US, so he's pretty easy to find in the censuses. I also live in Douglas Co., MN, so he's a local. Thanks.

My understanding is that Ellis Island doesn't have records until 1892. I'm probably wrong about that. Will look. Thanks for all your suggestions. I was not aware that I was on the wrong list. Sorry.

Judy, You will need to try the Castle Garden register rather than Ellis Island since Ellis Island was not used until much later. I have had great success with the Castle Garden site locating my ancestors back into the 1820's and 1830's. Try lots of different spellings!

Hi, I'm helping a friend locate info on the passenger lists for her ggrandfather Peter Nicholas Beheng, who immigrated from Prussia to Belle Plain, Scott Co., Minnesota in about 1867. His wife-to-be Anna Von Pitz b. about 1842 was also on the ship. I'm told the captain wouldn't let them leave the ship until he married them, supposed to protect women on the voyage. However, I'm having trouble finding that Beheng name as it is spelled so very many ways. So is Von Pitz, for that matter. Does anyone know how the original spelling might be? Thanks. Judy

Since you know the name and the year Peter Nicholas Beheng was born, you should start at the Ellis Island register to find the shiplist,perhaps there is a notation on it as to his origin. If not enough info is given, you can then go to the Bremen shiplist (if he sailed from there) to search there. Once you have a connection to the place where he was born, you can zoom in on more information from German records. Also go to the death register and census records because sometimes they are listing information that can help to break through a barrier. Key in "Family Search" for recent data input.

Judy, I think you are on the wrong list for this question here. This has nothing to do with German Bohemia as these names are not common for that area. You have to go to the rootsweb lists covering Germany. But since I happen to have a link to German names in Germany, I found Beheng (exactly how it is spelled) most prominent in the Bitburg-Pruem and Trier-Saarburg areas. There are also families of that name in Bielefeld, Duesseldorf, Koeln, Bonn, Euskirchen and Daun. I would start with Bitburg Pruem and Trier Saarburg, searching if there are "Ortsfamilienbuecher" (Family books) available, and if you could obtain title and author. Von Pitz was not successful, but Puetz without the Von were seen as most frequent in the Rhein Sieg Kreis, Berlin, Karlsruhe, Rastatt, Baden-Baden and Esslingen. I hope that this will help you in obtaining some literature from that area, but you would be much better served becoming a member of the German list. You can pose your question in English there, asking if anybody would be in possession of an "Ortsfamilienbuch" of the above named towns and if they could look up the names for you, and that you would appreciatei t if they could give you the source.
