    1. Re: [G-P-L] "commonality of names" EWERT
    2. juliasgenes

    3. Never mind - according to Wikipedia, there was coal mining there: "In 1867 Russian authorities formed the Oblast (province) of Piotrków, which included within Łódź, Częstochowa, and the coal fields of Dąbrowa Górnicza and Sosnowiec." I never heard about Russians controlling things - I just know that my aunts were adamant that of course my GM was German because my GF would NEVER have married a Pole. Meanwhile, I have some slight evidence that her name might have been something like OBAROWSKY. That doesn't sound German to me, but of course, I'm no expert. --- On Mon, 4/4/11, juliasgenes <juliasgenes@yahoo.com> wrote: ...Would you happen to know if mining was an industry there, at least in the 1890s?

    3. Thanks for the town clarification, though I have gotten quite fond of thinking of the place as "Pertrikan". Would you happen to know if mining was an industry there, at least in the 1890s? That's the occupation given for my GF on his passenger manifest. I shall now try to find Pertrikau on a map... .^_^. --- On Mon, 4/4/11, Brigitte Jahnke <brigitte@brigittejahnke.com> wrote: ...name of the ton is Petrikau, today in the center of Poland.

    3. I must have missed the earlier discussion; sorry about that. Even if he isn't listed there- which is to be expected since the rate of"legal emigration" is less than 50%, she can do area searches in and around the towns listed there. Before doing that she may want to check around the town and county where the emigrant settled for other Schroths who may be related. Baerbel This has been discussed in March 2010 after Ann had already checked with the archives. Gottfried Schroth is not listed in their card file.

    2. Baerbel Johnson

    3. Hi Patricia, That really depends on what you know about your ancestor. When did your ancestor come to the United States? Where did he settle? Have you found him in any census records? Do you know a town or region in Germany? The tool I mentioned earlier is an index specific to the Hessen region, particularly the former Grand Duchy of Hessen. Perhaps you can share the details about your ancestor with us. Baerbel After reading your response......I am wondering what I am missing when in my search for my GRUSS family departure records.....being new to genealogy search.....I have been looking for the Amerincan spelling and so forth.....what would I do to really do a search...

    3. Sorry, Schlesien in English Silesia as well as Poland never were a Russian Province. From here you can get some good info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silesia_%28disambiguation%29 As you can see Silesia has been and is split up in several parts. From time to time the frontiers changed, because of a new splitting. So if you don't have any hint about where to search it might become a rather difficult research.

    3. Hello Michael, The problem is 'sooner or later' is not going to help as the bidding for the postcard on ebay expires in a couple of days. I've already checked the 'family trees' but there is no one that matches. Also, if I were to post it somewhere online on the off chance someone would be interested in it a week or month from now, I would have to disappoint them as I wouldn't know who bought the card.

    3. I think that part of the city that straddles the border between Germany and Poland (called Goerlitz on the Germany side) is in Silesia. I've been looking for a long time for my great-grandfather, Ernst Wilhelm Sonntag, born about 1840, whose obit said he was from Goerlitz, Prussia (immigrated to Texas in 1871). I'm wondering if I should be checking Polish records. Not knowing a thing about the language, it would be very hard to do. Any suggestions? By the way, the emigration records for 1871 in Bremen, where he likely sailed, were destroyed in WW II, and the immigration records into Galveston, Texas, where he landed, were destroyed in the Great Hurricane of 1900, so as far as I've been able to tell there are no extant records on either end. My best hope would be baptismal and confirmation records in Germany or Poland. Any addresses to which I can write?

    1. Re: [G-P-L] "Post card" CHG "commonality of names"
    2. Brigitte Jahnke

    3. Hello Julia, the most easiest: the name Evert comes from an old German given: Eberhard. Short forms in Germany are: Evert, Everd, Everdt, Ewert, Ewerd, Ewerdt, Eberd, Eberdt. It's always pronounced in the same was, although its written in a different way. Most comon surnames are today: Evert: most people live in North-Eastern Germany, also in the Hannover area, almost none in Southern Germany Ewerd: all over Germany, very few in Bavaria, rather huge concentration in Pommern and the eastern parts of Mecklenburg. Ewert: comcentration in Pommern and Hannover area, most parts of Germany few families of this name Ebert: most frequent of these names, in all German areas, most in the Rhein-Hessen, Franken, Hohenlohe, and Rhein-Neckar area. As far as I know there is a big chance that your Ewert originate from Mecklenburg or Pommern. In Germany it's a normal surname, nothing exciting and nothing rare. Even had a Ewert classmate at primary school, don't know where she is today. There is also a request, unfortunately Terri didn't give her address: Terri schrieb am 29.04.2010: /Looking for Ewerts may have come from Karlsdorf. My Grandpa is Frank born 22-3-1880. Came to South and North Dakota. Paper trail in USA is non existent. Franks parents were Frank and Julianna (Mielke)Ewert. Also went by Ebert and Evertt.

    3. Thanks for the information. It's interesting to me, anyway! Once they got to Cleveland, some of the EWERT brothers became EVERT and my GF became EVERETT (don't know what he did about his accent, though!). Thanks for the query, but I know nothing of EWERTs beyond my GF and his siblings in Cleveland. Perhaps, way back in Europe, they connect somehow. I'll upload two images onto the message board of the Americanized version of the EWERT's town. It looks like "Petrikan" to me, but I've been told that there's no such place. Maybe it'll remind list members of something when they see it.
