I have document with a place of birth listed as Onsbach Achern, Bad. Germany. I have used all the sites I know of to locate this place with no luck. Perhaps someone out there recognizes this name .
Have discovered the name of my G'g'g'g'g'grandfathers homestead in Berks Co, PA for the years 1742-95. He was the first to settle this land and he named it Prufmond. Please, if you can, tell me what this means. Thank you, Pat of MN --------------------------------- Get your own web address for just $1.99/1st yr. We'll help. Yahoo! Small Business.

Hi Jerrold; I may have found them (Johann, Marie, Wilhelm & Louisa) in Ancestry's New York Passenger list for 1881. William's age is several years off but I've never found a ship's list that got the children's ages right. The same info for Johann was on the Castle Garden site. I also found someone who is undoubtedly your William in the WWI Draft Registrations for IA. However, he gave his birth as 10 Sep 1881 vice 10 Sep 1874.

I am trying to find the parents of William Balske. William was born Sept 10, 1874 in Germany. At the age of three they came to America, his parents they settled in Illinois. Then the family moved to Clay County, Iowa. William married Dorcas Battern in 1915 at Terrill, Iowa. Thanks for any help. Jerrald Lloyd
I am looking for details on my Grandmother ANNA EMILIE MAIDORN - she came from Mittenwald Germany - whether she was born there I don't know. I guess she was born 1885/1887 and that she went to South Africa (Port Elizabeth) where she married William Henry Quirk on: 8.8.1905. I wish to know her exact birthdate and place of birth - also I am curious as to why and how these young girls went to South Africa. Grandson
Thank you Wayne for the RUSSMNANN info. Most of the RUSSMANNS are mine..I had the Voter registration info on Arjen..Haro (aka Harold)and John are probably his brothers..just don't have enough information yet to be sure. Appreciate your reply..when I do find their emigration information I will have to throw an e-line party for all of you who have helped me along the way..now that might be fun!!

Thanks, Jerrald!! You're a treasure!! Conrad (1752) would be my gggg grandfather, the first in my father's line to come from Europe to America!! What sources did you use? I would like to get copies of documentation if possible. Also, I'd like to know the name of ship, dates & ports of departure & arrival, etc. I don't mind doing my own reseach if someone just points me in the right direction. I'd also like to learn about their lives in Magdenberg. (Maybe I'll be able to go their one day...)

I liked this too. It had a map of part of Germany (Rhine, Darmstadt, etc.) in 1862 which showed Worms as part of Hesse-Darmstadt. I never knew that. Some of my ancestors said they were from Worms and others Hesse-Darmstadt. They all came over about 1850. Could they have all been talking about the same thing? Where could find more information about the history of Worms and what countries/sates that it belonged to over time? -----Original Message----- From: germany-passenger-lists-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:germany-passenger-lists-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of DOROTHY MICHAEL Sent: Wednesday, October 18, 2006 3:56 PM To: germany-passenger-lists@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [G-P-L] Prussia Joyce, Try this site: http://www.files.maproom.org/00/12/present.php?m=0025<http://www.files.mapro om.org/00/12/present.php?m=0025> Happy hunting!

Hi Noreen; I didn't find anything likely in the Ancestry Immigration collection but I did find Arsen, "Harold", and a John who is related to Harold in both the Voter's Registration for Chicago (1888, 1890 & 1892), and in the 1910, 1920 and 1930 census' for Chicago. Although Harold & John preceded Arsen to Chicago by 5 years, they are of an age to have been his brothers. Hope this helps, cheers, Masugu. Chicago Voter Registration, 1888 (Read: Cong.

My grandfather, Oswald Carl Buttig, in the 1920 United States Census listed his birth place as: Saxony (Kingdom State) {Sachsen (Kgr./Land in Bundesrepublik) Saxony (Kingdom?State); Deutschland} and his Father's Birth Place as: Saxony (Kingdom State). In some research on(www.flaggenlexikon.de/fdtprvsx.htm<http://www.flaggenlexikon.de/fdtprvsx.htm>), it stated that in 1816 - creation of the Province of Saxony from the following territories: .from the Kingdom of Saxony to Prussia ceded territories; . the Prussian territories Altmark and Magdeburg Town. The formerly to Mainz belonging possessions Erfurt Town and Eichsfeld. And, in 1944 partition of the Province of Saxony into the Provinces of Magdeburg and Halle-Merseburg, the Governmental District to Erfurt came to Thuringia. And in 1945, unification of the Provinces of Magdeburg and Hale-Merseburg, with the country Anhalt to the country Province of Saxony - Anhalt. I am still trying to find a map which would show the exact location of the Kingdom of Saxony in about 1816. Any ideas?

I have been trying to find passage of my ggmother and her family to America. Her name, Wilhelmena Hellstern and her father August. She was born Jan. 1846 in Wurtenberg, Germany. They arrived sometime before 1868 as I have her residence In Kentucky in 1870 after her marriage. I would appreciate any help I can get. Also, where would I look for her and my ggfather John Haug's permission documents to sail to America. He arrived in 1850. Dolores
