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]
