My two cents on this issue. When I get stuck either in passenger lists or censuses I try an unusual first name, and then the first name connected with an approximate age or birth year. Then I scan the results and look for last names that are similar, i.e. the correct number of letters, etc. I can really get lost focusing on last names. I have gotten surprising results. An ancestor's name we have known as Schurick I found on the passenger lists as Schurg because one of the children's name was Ferdinand. Ed Albany, NY

Alternate spellings of names goes way back. I have copies of original Colonial wills where the name of the testator, within one will, is spelled three different ways, his wife's given named spelled two different ways and one of the sons spelled two different ways. One really needs to keep this in mind when searching anything from online databases to books. Look for every alternative spelling, even if your ancestor never used it himself! But this is the fun of it all. When searching for my GRIMM I had only tried that spelling and GRIM. One day, after not finding him in one of the censuses I tried to spell it as it might have sounded with an accent to the census taker and found him as KRIMM. Never looked for that spelling before. And this is a simple name! One name I've not found anywhere, but appears in an obituary, is OPPRESTHOUSER. Anyone ever come across that name in the Baltimore, Maryland area? Susan

Further to the subject of mis-spelled surnames. Can anyone suggest possibilities for the surname KNUTH; either variant spellings or typographical errors? Thank you, Bette

Eileen, I have an Adam Meyer who came from Wuertemburg to NY in about 1853. He at first spelled his name "Mayer". Have you looked for this spelling?

I have been reading all of the messages concerning misspelled family names. Especially German. My name is FEHLINGER and yet when my Great Grandparents came from Germany, by way of Bremen, a German port, on the German ship Guttenberg, the name was spelled FAILINGER. When I view the passenger list it was written this way. Many more of the family (cousins, brother, etc) came over and in many different records it is recorded as Fellinger-Fillinger and other various ways with a letter change here and there. I have even viewed transcribed records where a husbands name is correctly spelled and the wife or children misspelled. I have used the four letter, five letter, six and above words describing those who made these mistakes. I then have a glass of German wine and settle down. We have computers that print clearly. They had quill pens, lousy ink and not too well educated people writing things down. Have you ever in a rush written yourself a note and an hour later you can not understand it? Have you noticed many of the messages that we receive on the internet are not perfect in spelling or grammar. That is because we are all human and must accept mistakes for many reasons. If it was too easy researching, we would not enjoy it as much as we all (pretend to) do. Bill Fehlinger-Mays Landing NJ

The only time I find a misspelling is when they have read the writing wrong. Greetings, Yes, I have run across that often when the original was written using the German form of the letters. The American reader then reads it wrong. I have seen Schauer as Schaner; Miller as Hiller, Raidt as Rayos. Raith once came out as Laith because the man who wrote the name on the manifest probably heard the heavy trilled German R as an L. Also when did Germany adopt uniform spelling? Was that after 1900? Also remember that Bavaria is a land unto itself. It is not called the Free State of Bavaria for nothing. Clifford Louis Bischoff half Pommer / Half Bayer

Hi Wendy, try to find Anton JÄGER / JAEGER! That should help. "Yager" is a spelling for English speaking people keeping the sounding of the name similar to the German pronounciation. -- Beste Grüße Werner Feja.net 2006/11/21, MALCOLM STANAWAY <ms004a9035@blueyonder.co.uk>: > > Hi Can anyone point me in the right direction please I am trying to Locate > ANTON YAGER emigrated from Wurttemberg to come to England 1870s to 1880s > where can I look for this information?

Hi Wendy, I have exactle the same problem as you. I think that because so many went to the US and geneology is a very popular thing in America, you have more of a chance of finding what your looking for. My great grandfather emigrated from Germany to England around 1880 / 1890s, but I have hit a stone wall in my efforts to locate any record of him. If you look on the National Archives website www.nationarchives.gov.uk you can find the records of passenger list, but I don't believe that you can access them on the internet, I think you have to get in touch with them for details of how to look at the records. You can also find list of passengers who were shipwrecked off the coast of England!!! Anyway, sorry I wasn't of much help. Good luck!!!!

How funny with everyone's misspellings! The only time I find a misspelling is when they have read the writing wrong. Cornelssen is the name and in the ship passengers list I found them under Corhelsen. Guess it looked like that on the manifest but I had the records so kept looking. I had the date so looked in the books under their date. Sure enough there they were. It is also misspelled when my Grandfather came back the second time. They just misread the writing. No one changed their name and every time I see it, it is Cornelssen. They were sure to spell it right. Seemed proud of it. Fourteen came over in 1884 and I find them under none of the lists. I thought Castle Garden would have them since they landed in New York, but there is no listing. Must be mispelled again. Judy

Greetings, I have been trying to trace back the German hometown of William S. H. Fricke (1833-1913) who came to NYC (Brooklyn) somewhere around 1860 with a couple brothers (who went further west to Wisconsin). I found a very promising record of three Frickes (Christoff A., Joahann, and Wm.) coming over in October 1860 on the Helvetica from Bremen. It lists Lippe Detmold as their hometown. I also have a Bergen County NJ 1920 census record for William's son (William Jr.) that lists what looks like Brandenburg as his father's origin. Is there a town near Detmold that looks like "Brandenburg"...the census records are very fuzzy, so it could be something else. Brandenburg is not close to Lippe Detmold to the best of my knowledge. Can anyone help? Thanks, Marcia Fricke

Elaine, Yeah know, I always knew that if nothing else these sites are here to make us laugh. And it always happens when we least expect it. You made me laught tonite. WE all want to know all the information we can get, but if we ever got our hands around these relatives necks I do believe we would kill them where they stand. Yhalkee Ya-Chalke Jakalkee And you wonder why they changed their names. I have never seen or heard of this name and I have helped transcribe some lists for site too. And they say English is hard. I think that the people writing this stuff down were deaf too. Did they stay in Ohio? Have you ever gone to the Latter Day Saint family centers? Everyone have a nice Thanksgiving Jo Ann

Eileen, Have your tried under the name spelling of miers, or meier/s ? I haven't been able to locate mine in NY either. Sometimes they just lied. Jo Ann

Evelyn, Actually 41 wasn't too old to serve., depending on necessity of army personnel. Possible also he didn't join up, and stuck around defending his own property. I gather you don't have gravesites, however by now many of the cemetaries have been walked and recorded. Maybe tax records in the county (counties) you believe he was in would have him on record.

I used to go to a FHC frequently, but that was some time ago. I did get marriage records for Abraham and Adam Meyer. I lost much of my Meyer/Yhalkee data when we moved 4 yrs ago, including the film numbers of all the microfilm I'd borrowed over the years. Right now I'm without a car so I can't get to one. I hope to have a car in a month or two and plan to start going again. Yes, Yhalkee stayed in Ohio, except for the one who married a Meyer and moved to Michigan. As far as I know the rest stayed in Ohio. Williams and Fulton county areas.
