Hi Kathleen, I think that depends on how you want to define "Germannan". In the specific sense only those who arrived as part of the 1714 and 1717/18 groups would be Germanna Colonists.  However there were many other German families who later settled in the area, interacted and intermarried with descendants of the specific Germanna Colonists that we consider "Germannan".  I'm thinking specifically of the later comers to the Robinson River Valley and the Little Fork Colony.  The problem is compiling a complete list of all of these.  Many of us are focused only on our own family lines.

The Hebron fellows [the one naturalized at Hebron] who were on the Germanna Colonist Lists as a group seem to disappear when the Colonists list were revised. My Walk seems to have went out into oblivion, also. I also believe that Tobias Wilhoit [sp?] was also in that group. It's like they were family, but for some reason have been locked in the closet. If you got this far, I really think they got cut off by a technological glitch. I'll accept "late comers" as the designation for these Hebron folk, but it was the Walk connection that led me to the Germmana organization. I'd like to see them in the Settlers list someway.

A Germanna research and reunion in SLC would be great for those of us who live on the West Coast. The Plaza Hotel is just across a driveway from the Family History Library. Last Feb. the price was $98 a room. Most of us shared, xo it was only $49 each. They have a good coffee shop attached to the Hotel (JB's Restaurant). Anita Schmidt

Marilyn, When I go by myself I always stay at the Plaza but have also gone a couple of times when my husband had to go for meetings.  Once we stayed at the Plaza and once at the Embassy Suites.  That was a real hike but much nicer and has nice meeting rooms.  The Plaza is getting a bit shabby but is reasonably priced.  Last time I went (that weekend before Thanksgiving) was able to get airfare and four nights for under $500 including taxes.  The Plaza also let me check in at 9:00 a.m. when I arrived.  I think there is a Marriot or Hilton acoss the street about halfway down the block that I would like to investigate.  Will have to see who has the best deals. And yes, one of the advantages of the Family History Library is that they already have experts there for us the utilize.  Another advantage is the availability of records from all over.  However it would be great to be able to include some lunch or dinner meetings paired with some Germanna specific speakers.

My vote for hotels is the Plaza at Temple Square -- out the back door into the front door of the library. Rooms are nice with fridge and microwaves -- nothing elegant but usually have a genealogy special -- stay 5 nights get one free. And cost is usually about $89 a night without tax. I would love to learn how to do some German research. The library always has free classes also -- I learned how to do research in Denmark records and that is where I also learned about DNA. I think the Mormom Tabernacle Choir practices on Wed or Thurs and it is right across the street which is a fun activity. I don't when the Utah Jass plays but the games are at the Salt Palace -- right across the street also. Just some ideas. For those of you with grandchildren -- my family just went on a day trip to Park City and road the worlds fastest zip line and an alpine slide -- can also do a bobsled rid!  e -- all at the Olympic Park.

One idea that I have but have not had time to pursue yet is to organize a Germanna Foundation research trip to Salt Lake City.  This could be formatted in several ways and could be open to any of our friends interested in genealogy not just to members.  Given other Foundation activities and weather concerns, mid September - mid November would probably be the best time to schedule this.  I actually went to SLC the weekend before Thanksgiving 2009 and practically had the Family History Library to myself. If you are interested in a potential Germanna trip to Salt Lake City please provide some feed back.  Consider the following: Where would you like to stay?  As close to the Family History Library as possible, within a walk of a mile or less (SLC has very long city blocks) or further away if there is a street car or scheduled shuttle to the library available? What activities would you like to see?  Germanna specific seminars?  How many organized meals?  Tours of local sites? Transportation to the site would be on your own.  Most of the downtown hotels have shuttles from the airport. Anything else ...

I would like to throw my support to those who were discussing revising and updating the Germanna Record volumes rather than just reprinting them.

I would love to hear from anyone who can 'bring me up to date" but it appears to me that B. C. Holtzclaw was a very well respected genealogical researcher and writer, but the reader of his book today has no way of knowing where any of these statements of genealogical fact came from. Admittedly, I have been on the Germanna Web site off and on, but being a brand-new member, have not gone through it with a fine-toothed comb to gather all of the current news and updates. I would love to see a bibliographic essay on Germanna genealogical works that would expose us to the broad collection of materials and highlight some of the more recent scholarship and research in the various Germanna families in the last few decades.

Perhaps a different line of Fishers then. My line is from Lewis Fisher - b. 1710 and Anna Barbara Blankenbaker whose son Stephen Albert with wife Mary Magdalene Garr migrated to Mercer County, Kentucky. Stephen had a brother named Adam who also migrated to Mercer County, KY. Adam's son Adam, Jr., b. 1783, in Mercer, now Boyle County, KY came to Jackson County, Missouri in 1834. His was one of several prominent pioneers of Jackson County, MO whose names are listed on a monument standing on the Courthouse lawn in Independence, Jackson County, Missouri. He was also in the War of 1812. I do not have any connection, that I know of, to the Pennsylvania Fisher family. All of the sons of Lewis Fisher went to Kentucky. Sorry I can be of no help to you with your Fishers. Judy On Jul 26, 2010, at 4:22 PM, Janice Murnan wrote: > Nice to hear from you.

Janice, From which Fisher do you descend? I have some Fisher information. Judy On Jul 26, 2010, at 11:50 AM, Janice Murnan wrote: > This sounds very interesting.....

One idea that I have but have not had time to pursue yet is to organize a Germanna Foundation research trip to Salt Lake City.  This could be formatted in several ways and could be open to any of our friends interested in genealogy not just to members.  Given other Foundation activities and weather concerns, mid September - mid November would probably be the best time to schedule this.  I actually went to SLC the weekend before Thanksgiving 2009 and practically had the Family History Library to myself. If you are interested in a potential Germanna trip to Salt Lake City please provide some feed back.  Consider the following: Where would you like to stay?  As close to the Family History Library as possible, within a walk of a mile or less (SLC has very long city blocks) or further away if there is a street car or scheduled shuttle to the library available? What activities would you like to see?  Germanna specific seminars?  How many organized meals?  Tours of local sites? Transportation to the site would be on your own.  Most of the downtown hotels have shuttles from the airport. Anything else ... Thanks, Cathi

I've been jumping in and out on the Germanna Colonies Listserv archives. What a gold mine of exchange and discussion. I hope those of you who have been on here awhile will forgive me as the "new guy" for interposing here and there. I would like to throw my support to those who were discussing revising and updating the Germanna Record volumes rather than just reprinting them. As a Holtzclaw descendant, I shudder as I go through B. C. Holtclaw's "The Genealogy of the Holtzclaw Family" because there is not documentation to substantiate anything. I would love to hear from anyone who can 'bring me up to date" but it appears to me that B. C. Holtzclaw was a very well respected genealogical researcher and writer, but the reader of his book today has no way of knowing where any of these statements of genealogical fact came from. Admittedly, I have been on the Germanna Web site off and on, but being a brand-new member, have not gone through it with a fine-toothed comb to gather all of the current news and updates. I would love to see a bibliographic essay on Germanna genealogical works that would expose us to the broad collection of materials and highlight some of the more recent scholarship and research in the various Germanna families in the last few decades. I am like unto a sponge so I'm more than glad for anyone to enlighten me so I'll be much smarter on what's been published, what's being updated, and what's planned for the future.

Cathi, my sister, Barb, and I usually go in January but would certainly consider changing the time. My vote for hotels is the Plaza at Temple Square -- out the back door into the front door of the library. Rooms are nice with fridge and microwaves -- nothing elegant but usually have a genealogy special -- stay 5 nights get one free. And cost is usually about $89 a night without tax. I would love to learn how to do some German research. The library always has free classes also -- I learned how to do research in Denmark records and that is where I also learned about DNA. I think the Mormom Tabernacle Choir practices on Wed or Thurs and it is right across the street which is a fun activity. I don't when the Utah Jass plays but the games are at the Salt Palace -- right across the street also. Just some ideas. For those of you with grandchildren -- my family just went on a day trip to Park City and road the worlds fastest zip line and an alpine slide -- can also do a bobsled ride -- all at the Olympic Park. I stayed at the library <smile> And there is an outlet mall in Park City also which is about 25 miles from Salt Lake City. Take care.
