In regard to the English name Charles BULL, I have a hunch that you should look for Karl BUHL. Give it a try and see if this is the German name you are looking for. Diane Smith <[email protected]>

Hi, A lot of time when,the people immigrated ,the immigration officer just wrote down the name he though how it was spelled. A lot of people could not correct him because they didn't spoke the language Also at the time of war, a lot of German Immigrants changed there name to a different spelling .So no one could tell they came from Germany. Karl or Carl is german That name means -(Mann, Ehemann ,freier Mann) (man ,husband, free mann). In english Charles came from Carolus and Charlie is the nickname for Charles. All the names started from the latin language maybe some one knows latin and can let us know more about it.

It's kinda strange that mapquest drew a blank since Potsdam is not a small town and is the capital of the state of Brandenburg. It has postal codes 14467 thru 14482 and is located 8 miles southwest of Berlin and 20 miles due east of the city of Brandenburg. It is a city with much history. To see if it has its own website go to http://potsdam.de/ This works for all German cities - just replace "potsdam" with the name of another city name you are researching.

I have a typed genealogy of the descendants of WILHELM ZINN, born in 1852, who came to the US in 1890 and who settled near Wetpoint, Nebraska. My mother was a granddaughter of WILHELM ZINN. I would like to make contact with other descendants. Emil ALBERT [email protected]

We have been working on the ancestors of the Chilean Lisperguer family for some years and the earliest Chilean we have traced is Peter Lisperguer, "Conquistador Alem�n celebre." He was born in Worms, Germany in either 1530 or 1535. Records in Chile indicate that he came to Chile in 1557 and died in 1604 in Lima or from another source he died in Panama on the way to Europe and probably was buried in what is now known as Lima, Per�. His parents are supposedly Peter Birling (Birlinguer in Spanish) who was born in Worms in 1503 and was said to be "Probst der Stadt Worms, " and Catharina Lisperg; they were probably married there in 1532 and she is believed to be from an old family of the nobility in Elsa�. On a recent brief visit to Worms we did not have time to research further, but information should be available. You are probably a descendant as are we. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Bid and sell for free at http://auctions.yahoo.com

I would appreciate help in identifying towns that might have had Lutheran parishes on the Island of Fehmarn during the 1800-1850s. I am particularly interested in the town of BURG AUF FEHMARN. If any one has or is researching this town/area I would like to learn where I might start to look for the surnames of ZAELKE and FRITSCHE. I will use the LDS FHC index to see if these area has been filmed. But any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks. John Fritsche in California
