Dear Listmembers, I was surprised to see that this list is really alive, had never expected so many questions about the colonielist of 1699. Here are the first 13 questions and my answers, for my convinience through the list and not by separate mails. Please note that I don't know French (and the colonielist is in French), so I cannot translate any better than you might do with the help of a dictionary, just in short 'femme' is wife, 'enfant' is child, 'veuve' is widow, 'soeur' is sister, 'mere' is mother, 'sa' is his/her, 'de' can mean from. Most of the professions are secret to me as well. The number written in front or behind a name is the number that person has in the list. I snipped of most of the request text. I also looked for names just somehow similar to what you asked for. 1. malinda jones: I would appreciate a lookup for the surnames of Moritz, Thiessen and Keever. 1281 Moret (in Villeneuve=Dorotheenstadt, today city of Berlin) La Damme femme de Mr Daniel MORET, Sr de Frais, de Guyenne, Capitaine 3924 Morizet Jean MORIZET, Charpentier, d'Orleans, sa femme et un enfant (in WEZEL) 2056 Tisse, This Abraham TISSE, Laboureur, de Calais, sa femme et quatre enfans (in Rossow, Uckermark) (and in additions p. 212) Abraham Tisse (also spelled This, Tis) has left the area shortly after 1710 Keever - no entry 2.
