Hi: Hummels to Russia While reading "From Catherine to Khrushchev" I came across the following items that I wish to pursue. Any help would be appreciated. 1) Talks about a village named Brockhousan (Hummel) that is on the east side of the Volga (The Volga and Karaman Villages on the Wiesensat). They do not give much information but for some reason they renamed the village from Brockhousen to Hummel. I would appreciate knowing the Why, When and Who. 2) Would like to obtain copies of the following: Lutheran Separatist in south Caucasus (Helenendorft) it suggest for the history of the Church and school in south Caucasus see "Hummel HBR 1995 and HBR 1961" 3) Also looking for the following articles; Schrenk & Hummel, HBR 1954,and pp 35-38: Schrenk, F. HBR 1961 pp. 20.21 I am attempting to trace my great-ggg Uncle JOHN GEORGE HUMMEL who was born in Eningen unter Achalm, Wurttemberg, Germany. He left for RUSSIA in 1817. Would appreciate any direction, help suggestions. Thank you, Frank Hummel Visit my web site. http://members.xoom.com/EningenGer/Hummel

Hi List, I am excited to report through my German correspondence with the Church at Sprotta I recently learned of the surnames FÜSSELL and STEPHAN in my tree! See below for the details. I would not have learned this tidbit unless I wrote back and requested an actual photocopy of the record instead of the extract which was sent originally. Unfortunately, there are a lot of illegitimacies in this branch. Here's hoping someone will recognize the new names. Here are the details: Descendants of (Johann) Gottfried Füssel 1 (Johann) Gottfried FÜSSEL d: Bef. 21 November 1842 . +(Johanna) Rosine STEPHAN b: Abt.

At last! Thank you, Elsa. I know now that the announcement was intended only for German-speaking dummies, since the book was a translation and adaptation of the original English document into German. But we English-speaking dummies didn't know that when it appeared.

I am just beginning to search for information regarding my great, great grandfather, John Henry LOCHNER. He was born in Eckardts, Sachsen-Meiningen on 21 JUN 1819. He married Maria Katherina RUPPERT, who was also born in Eckardts on 24 JUN 1828. I would like information about Eckardts and if anyone has any information on John and Maria's marriage and/or immigration to Louisville, Jefferson County, Kentucky, USA. Can you help me?

I just received a letter from Landeskirchliches Archiv in Nuernberg, saying they had received my DM payment. They added "We only have one request. Please never use this www. free translation program again. It was a mess. The words made no sense. Fortunately you also wrote your message in English!" LaVerne ltboehmke@aol.com

That's why I asked the writer. The machine translations are a joke. ----- Original Message ----- From: Maria Minear To: Norman Brennecke ; GERMAN-KINGDOMS-L@rootsweb.com Sent: Monday, August 07, 2000 12:33 PM Subject: "Ahnenforschung-online für Dummies" > Sounds like it might be interesting, but I can't be sure.

I have just joined this list and I noticed a posting about Spalteholz. My ancestors spelled their name SPATHOLZ/SPATHOLT. They were from Mechlenburg-Strelitz and arrived in the United States through the port of New Orleans in 1853. I have never been able to locate any other references to this name on the internet. Also I am not familiar with Mecklenberg-Strelitz as I am just beginning my search in Europe. I have been told that this was a divided kingdom and I do not know from which area the family originated. Any suggestions to point me in the right direction would be appreciated. Pam Burgess
