Names are tricky. My GG's name was Anna Margaretha Heitkemper (& other spellings) in the US. When they cam e to Louisville, Kentucky they used their Plattdeutsch name. But in Heek/Ahle in Westfalen where they came from the Hochdeutsch name is used: Effkemann. If an Effkemann relative had not written to a relative here in the US 15 years ago I would never have found them. Who knew Heitkemper (Heidkamp, Keitkamper, Heitkaemper, etc.) equals Effkemann. Interesting! Check both Low and High Dutch names. ----- Original Message ----- From: <germany-passenger-lists-request@rootsweb.com> To: <germany-passenger-lists@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, April 03, 2011 5:35 PM Subject: GERMANY-PASSENGER-LISTS Digest, Vol 6, Issue 70 > > > Today's Topics: > > 1.

Could anyone tell me about the country Selisia, I have been searching for years for my ggrands, and now I find out I have been researching in the wrong place and they probably came from Selisia, I was visiting the Allen County Library and a kind young man from Belgium who was sitting by me, informed me that I was looking in the wrong place, and to look at Silesia. I have never heard of Silesia. Their surname I believe was spelled originally as Czechowicz, as I have seen other names like that, but not the spelling they used in America. In Silesia there is a province named Katovicz, and Cossel, could they have used that for their names when they came here or how did it work on the passenger list. I just heard of the country lately. Both ggrands said they came from Prussia, born in 1860. He I think from what family has said was Kolm, they came to America in 1887, her name was Amelia Kosel, or Kozal. There is a town in Silesia of Cosel. I just cant find them anywher. He spelled their last name when they came to America as Karl Cekafetz, sounds like Chic a fetz. Any Any Any help would be tremendously appreciated, They lived in Taylorville, and Decatur IL all of their lives. My ggrandmother said she was sorry she ever let him over the border, so I think she was German and he was Polish????? I am at a loss, but always depended on each other until they died, even tho married to someone else. Thank you for any help to guide me in the right direction. I have seen a few books but not events for during the years 1800 to 1900, it was all after 1944 they anyone mentions Silesia ________________________________

Greetings, Brigette ~ I'm wondering about EWERT. I was told once by a German tourist to the US that it's found in the low lands not far from the coast and it's not that common. For instance, I'm wondering if the EWERTs seen in Cleveland before the arrival of my GF in 1891 may have been some of his relatives. If it's a fairly common name, maybe not. If it's uncommon, maybe so? I read where the name refers to a strong boar (or in my case, a weak bore? .^_^.)

Hi Duane, Klein is a very very very common name in Germany, the 15th frequent of all the names in our country. Mostly to be found in south-western Germany along the Rhine-river. The meaning is small-sized, short, little person. Maybe also a person who had a very small farm. Or it's just a nickname.

Over the years of grandfathers research, through different web links like roots there have been individuals, much like those here that offer assistance and information that helps eliminate or get around brick walls that we always find creating gaps in family histories. They are all over, much like Angels in the wings offering to assist without seeking any return. I use the word "Angel" as a reference to the many special people we meet as a respect and thank you.

I have 2 interesting postcards c.1912 which belonged to my ggrandmother, Elizabeth Rau Brückner, She received them from her sister after she emigrated to St. Louis, Missouri in 1880. I will be happy to forward them to anyone interested in the area: Pfersdorf, Hildburghausen, now in Thruringia. 1. "Aum 300 jährigen Jubilaum der Pfärret, Pfersdorf-Lemrieth". Kirche in Pfersdorf. 2. "Gruss aus Pfersdorf bei Hildburghausen." Scenes of the town. You can email me @ jey1@swbell.net Joan Schaller Yeckel St. Louis, Missouri > If anyone wants a picture of a postcard I bought on line years ago, of Trossingen, let me know. I will email it to them. I bought it from someone in Germany, and he told me that the original village of Trossingen had burned down, and the villagers rebuilt it, and that the postcard was of the new village. > > > > MYRA HERRON > Honk if you love Jesus. > Text while driving if you want to meet him. > > > > > ____________________________________________________ > > > > > > > For all the latest News, please visit our Homepage: http://www.germanyroots.com > > Please visit and participate in our new forum > http://www.germanyroots.com/phpBB3/ > ------------------------------- > To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to GERMANY-PASSENGER-LISTS-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message > > For all the latest News, please visit our Homepage: http://www.germanyroots.com > > Please visit and participate in our new forum > http://www.germanyroots.com/phpBB3/ > ------------------------------- > To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to GERMANY-PASSENGER-LISTS-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message > > For all the latest News, please visit our Homepage: http://www.germanyroots.com > > Please visit and participate in our new forum > http://www.germanyroots.com/phpBB3/ > ------------------------------- > To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to GERMANY-PASSENGER-LISTS-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message >

I also keyed in my surnames and came up with books, pics and an assortment of things to look at. A fun site. Thanks for including it. May find something to buy!

Vera - I am not the greatest at research and depend a lot on the list Angels for help. Thus - I am willing to assist on your request as I have a lot of information that was forewarned to my Grandfather for our region of Grafenberg, NT., RT., De. including help from someone with the Stuttgart Church archives by way of Angels in Germany and would be happy to return the FREE help to you.

One more comment regarding the prices charged by archives for doing research. "Service charges" vary considerably from archive to archive. A lot depends on the archive's financial resources and available manpower. The other thing to consider is the Euro-Dollar exchange rate, which is not in our favor at this time. User fees for those visiting the archives run around 10 Euros per day; copies vary from 50 Eurocents to 7 Euros, depending on the archive. Professional researchers charge 35-45 Euros per hour on the average, plus travel time and -costs, and the cost of copies.

Hello Joe, You can buy the postcards on ebay. Some are 99 cents others as much as $15 dollars, depending on the rarity. Go to ebay.com and then under categories click on: Collectibles, then Postcards, then International Postcards, then Germany. For US postcards click on Collectibles, then Postcards, then US, then pick a US state. Good luck, I hope you find what you're looking for.
