Good morning Can someone tell me what Kreis means? After this word is RA GADEBUSCH Thank you, CHs

Hello Listers, I enjoy the list very much. Thanks to the detailed, magnificient information recorded by early Evangelical/Lutheran Pastors at Salem Lutheran Church in Brenham, TX USA my immigrant ancestors, GRABOW, were noted as from Schielde, bei Perleburg, Brandenburg. I've found Schielde on Atlas', but have been unable to find (in the LDS catalogue) the Evangelical Church that served the area ca. early -mid 1800's. Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

According to United States Civil War records my gggrandfather, Christian Gottlieb Doelz, was born 4/1/1833 in Muntscha. Can someone identify the parish name for Muntscha? Can someone give me advice on how best to research this area? I'm trying to determine if Christian had any brothers or sisters. I've used the IGI and Anchestral files online and at my local FHL but not found anything. I've searched under the following variations of surname but without luck. (dollz, doels, doltz, doles, doeltz, doelz, doellz, dolz, doelds, dolzie). The librarian at the local FHL thinks this section of Germany may not have been filmed yet. Does anyone out there know this to be true?

Could anyone tell me if the in Triptis, Th�ringen, has a parish name, or is Triptis the parish? Beryl

Good afternoon! I am new to this list and I am trying to locate where, in Germany, that my WATERHOLTER ancestors may have come from. One clue that I was given was in Waterholz, Lippe. I've been doing my research in the U.S. Census and the first time that any WATERHOLTERs turn up is in 1850,Washington, D.C. The Census states that my great-great grandfather, William Frederick WATERHOLTER was born in Germany about 1836.....however, the Census does not state WHERE in Germany. Are there any other people on this list researching the WATERHOLTER family line? Thank you. Pat McCoy

Hi Les, Yes, Tilleda is still there. It's located SW of Sangerhausen about a third of the way between Sangerhausen and Sonderhausen in Thüringen (Thuringia). The ZIP is 06537. I couldn't a STOLLE listed for Tilleda in the German telephone directory but there are protestant and catholic churches listed in Sangerhausen that may be able to help you. Good hunting!

I am researching my ggrandparents who emigrated from the town of Blankenburg in Schwarzburg-Rudolstat (now Bad Blankenburg, Thuringia). August Krämer and Whilhelmine Moench were wed in Green Bay, Wisconsin shortly after she arrived there in 1861. Anyone else researching these surmnames or this town? I am very much interested in the history of the immediate area in the early ninteenth century and late eigtheenth century.

My Grandmother's maiden name was Martha Fredericka Stolle. She married Valentine Benz in San Francisco, CA on January 8, 1914. I was told she was born in Tilleda, Thüringia, Germany on August 22, 1887. I'm not sure this town still exists. Does anyone have information on the Stolle family in this area. Les Minear

I'm trying to trace the name RUDLOFF specifically my husband's grandfather OTTO RUDLOFF in California from Germany by 1891, but probably arrrived several years earlier..we have reason to believe that JACOB RUDLOFF a weaver from Thuringia might have been Otto's uncle, Jacob emigrated to Illinois and then Iowa abt 1850s....believe that Otto lived in an area that might have been Russian or Polish territory for a time..There are supposed to be cousins currently living in Posnan Poland..Does anyone know if RUDLOFF is a very common name in Germany? Also in the list of Hessians who fought for England in Rev. War, there is a DUDLOFF from Saxony?? area, believe that might be a misprint and should be RUDLOFF....any assist appreciated..Jerri in California

Dear Members of this list, I am researching the German surname of MILBRADT, as well as the anglicized or germanicized variations MILDEBRATH, MÜHLBRADT, MILBRANDT, MILBRATH, MILBRAD, MILBRAT, etc. wherever they occur in the world. Thus far, outside of Germany, I have identified no more than 20 family groups in Brazil, Canada and America, which makes us a fairly rare surname. Each group is depicted separately in the LDS - Family History Center, but are connected to a common pedigree chart wherever I have proven an ancestral connection. My intent is to ultimately research the ancestors of each group to determine where they connect to the common family tree. For the most part of my MILBRADT ancestors were found in the area around Wongrowitz (German) / Wãgrowiec (Polish) which lies in the former Prussian province of Posen, north east of the province capital. Most of the family members I know came from this region or the neighbour province of West Prussia and Pomerania . Including the names of spouses of later descendants, the individual registers has about 1000 different peoples. In addition to Wongrowitch, I have located family members and spouses in the cities of : Sarbka (Zerbke), Kopaschin, Gósciejewo, Jankendorf, Liebenau, Rogasen, Bromberg, Kolmar, Tarnowo, Schockau, Königsrode, Bergheim, Josefkowo, Grabow, Dreyberg, Rozagora, Ruhheim, Altraden, Gollantsch, Kornfelde, Kaisersfelde, Mierucin, Rettschuetz (Kreis Znin), Iwitz, (Kreis Tuchel, West Prussia), etc. Please let me know if you have encountered the MILBRADT family name in the course of your research or if you make a connection to anyone of your ancestral members. I hope to find other Milbradt in Canada, USA and Germany. Ralf Milbradt from Joinville / Santa Catarina / Brasil Tel.: 00 55 (21) 47 4721271 Fax: 00 55 (21) 47 4720434 E-mail [email protected]

Evangelische is a religion (evangelical lutheran = protestant), not a place. Hope this helps. Thilo Agthe Brooklyn, NY
