Does any one know where Lowenhaus,have a picture with this writing on it and also has Bad Salzbrunn,or could that be the name of the picture studio thanks betty

Hi Andy, as the ADAC atlas shows, no (currently spelled) Kemnitz is situated in the Mecklenburg area. Only the village of Chemnitz, about 5 miles west of the town of Neu-Brandenburg, is in Mecklenburg. That makes it easy. Chemnitz was also the spelling in 1904, and the official Mecklenburg map of this year shows it belonged to the easternmost corner of the Duchy of Mecklenburg-Schwerin, whereas Neu-Brandenburg belonged to the Duchy of M.-Strelitz. The Duchies' border was between Chemnitz and the villages Weitin and Zirzow. The map is named "Mittelbachs neueste Specialkarte der Großherzogtümer Mecklenburg-Schwerin und Mecklenburg-Strelitz", is of the year 1904 and currently re-printed. The editor is : Horst Hup Ernst-Ludwig-Heim-Strasse 19 13125 Berlin Tel +49 30 9414870 He's also editor of the "Kiesslings Große Karte der Provinz Brandenburg" re-print of 1902. And yes, the "ADAC Maxi Atlas Deutschland" is mainly a great road map but also distinguishes between Federal States, districts and counties (the capitals are underlined). ISBN 3-87003-864-0.

Thanks to all who responded to my question. The reference I have to Chemnitz is in Mecklenburg-Schwerin as the birth place of the 1st born of my GrGrandparents, Johann Hienrich DITTMANN & Maria Christian Freidericke LUCHT in 1856. The reference to Kemuitz is the supposedly marriage location of the above named GrGrandparents in Nuestrelitz, Mecklenburg Strelitz. Re: the reference by Jurgen Frische to the "ADAC Atlas Deutshland" - would this distinquish between counties, cities & villages? thanks again - still learning Andy - Guam USA

The "ADAC Maxi Atlas Deutschland" currently shows 2 Chemnitz places and 7 Kemnitz places. And Dieter is right: only the city of Chemnitz in Saxony is a city (and also a county = Kreis), the other ones are villages and thus only belong to a certain Kreis which would be named different. Btw, regarding e.g. the search for locations in current Germany, this atlas is strongly to recommend for genealogical purposes as it shows even the smallest village here. The maps are of scale 1:150,000 and the index lists more than 90,000 places in current Germany. This atlas should be available at Amazon or Barnes&Noble. The problem with names such as Chemnitz and Kemnitz is, that both placenames are pronounced the same (ch = k). And this dualism is also shown on old maps: e.g. current Kemnitz near the town of Pritzwalk was spelled Chemnitz on a Brandenburg map of 1905 ... Andy has to know which place of them (in which area is it?) is meant in the records; only then it would be possible to decide (better by using a contemporary map) if the spelling has changed between "Ch" and "K" or not and if it is the same place or not.

Hi Marilyn, the correct spelling of this former German state is "Herzogthum Braunschweig" (current German spelling: "Herzogtum ..."). This means in English "Duchy of Brunswick".

Hi Charles, surely Verone or Verona might be a nickname of Veronica - all is possible, there's no rule to create nicknames! OK many nicknames are pretty common all over a country, others are only to be heard regionally and a lot of nicknames are very familiar and personal.

Hi Pam, Mecklenburg was two Grand Duchies (Mecklenburg-Schwerin, Mecklenburg-Strelitz), not a kingdom. In order to research on a specialized mailing list, you may want to try the Mecklenburg-L: Send a message containing only (!) the following text in the body of the mail: subscribe mecklenburg-l to: majordomo@genealogy.net Do not include anything else in the text portion of the message (not even a blank), as this may confuse majordomo (ie no signatures). Please be aware that the listowner must approve all subscriptions, so there may be a slight delay in getting subscribed. And (also an advice for many, many other listers), please, don't use a subject line text which doesn't match the content of your message! Otherwise you'd run the risk many listers won't read but delete your posting only because of a wrong and not interesting subject line text. This is what someone posted recently: "I guess, I am not the only one with the problem: I am not keen on reading all long mailings. For this reason, a precise title is a great help to see what mailings are interesting!" Create or change a subject line text yourself which matches the purpose of your message as much as possible when posting or responding on the list (I've changed it for you, see above)! Btw, SPATHOLZ/SPATHOLT may not be SPALTEHOLZ, even if it looks similar for your eyes ...

Hi Pat, the translation (from corrected German spelling) is: 1. Geheimer Ober=Regierungs=Rath Berlin Reichs-Kanzler-Amt Something like "First Privy Councillor of Administration" (Geheimer Ober=Regierungs=Rath - currently: Oberregierungsrat - was a former higher officer's grade of German civil services; compared with military ranks, this grade was/is equal to a Lieutenant Colonel) Berlin Reichs Chancellor administration 2. Todes-Anzeige obituary / notice of death 3. Frau Franziska Roetzer Prokuristen-Witwe Mrs Franziska Roetzer Widow of a Company Secretary (a Prokurist was/is owner of the so-called right of "Prokura", which means he was/is allowed to act in the name of the company / company's owner. He's allowed to sign letters and contracts by "ppa." = per procura, followed by his name) (In Germany and Austria formerly they used to add a wife's / widow's name the title, grade, rank, etc. of her husband. This caused many funny or even ridiculous sounding "titles" ...) Hope I could help you ...
