They actually have a more advanced search engine than the last time I checked their website. I haven't used it much for domestic (USA) searches but it's very interesting for European ones, and I managed to find others searching for my rather rare Niedersachsen surname (Jatho).

Thank you for your information. I too was able to find great information on my family line that was very useful and may extend the tree back by several more generations. B. Brewster

Greetings. I'm wondering if anyone knows whether there is a German equivalent of rootsweb.com where people may enter family lineages. I'm only just beginning to research my Germany ancestry, but some of the most useful information to date has come from simply googling last names and places of origin. (Just last night I found someone whose ancestry is published on an independent website, and includes Klapperodts from Osterode - where we believe my 3rd great-grandmother Augusta Klapperodt was born.) __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Greetings. I've just begun to research my German ancestry, and have determined (through census data from the later 19th century) that my 3rd great-grandparents Charles Hempel (b abt 1822/23) and Augusta Klapperodt (b abt 1827) as well as their three sons (Charles, John, and Ernest) seem to have come from the Kingdom of Hanover (in present-day Lower Saxony). The Hempels arrived about 1865, and settled in Norfolk County, Massachusetts. They told census takers in 1870 that they came from Hanover (by which I presume they meant not the city but Kingdom of Hanover), and Charles Hempel Sr or his wife Augusta told 1880 census takers they were from Prussia (which is consistent, given that Hanover was invaded, and occupied by Prussia in 1866). In the 1880 census Charles Hempel Jr told census takers he was from "Osterow, Germany." There is no such place as Osterow, Germany, but there is an Osterode am Harz in Lower Saxony, which happens to be a few miles from Augusta Klapperodt's possible place of birth - Herzberg am Harz (this according to her cemetery record - at least there Herzberg part [there are multiple Herzbergs in the country but this is as I understand it the only one in Lower Saxony]). According to census recrods, Charles Hempel (Sr) (who may have been named Carl [if not Carl Augustus] Hempel) was born in 1822/23. Again: we don't know where in Germany he was born but Osterode am Harz and Herzberg am Harz are possibilities. He married Augusta Klapperodt (and this may be only an approximate spelling) - perhaps sometime in the mid to late 1840s. Augusta was born about 1828 - again, perhaps in Herzberg am Harz. Charles and Augusta's first son Charles William (who was likely named Carl Willhelm Hempel at birth) was born in 1850 (perhaps in Osterode am Harz or thereabouts). Their second son John (perhaps named Johann) was born in 1856 in Germany.Their third son Ernest L Hempel was born in 1864, also in Germany. The Hempels were jewelers by trade, and there has been some speculation in the family that they might have been Jewish converts to Christianity before coming to America. We have no hard evidence to support this possibility, but the circumstantial case is not without merit. There is apparently an archive (http://www.staatsarchive.niedersachsen.de:80/master/C504_L20_D0.html) for the state, but my German is extremely primitive. Any tips or leads that you think may be helpful would be welcome. Thank you very much. Best regards, Kenneth Hempel __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam?

I have a question for the members of this list. My grandfathers older sister Anne-Martha Haase, married while still in Germany, probably living in the Thorn/Bromberg area of West Prussia. Martha was born between 1861 and 1879. Her husband, whose name I do not know, died during WWI. An old family photograph shows Martha, her husband and their seven sons. The family was believed to be Lutheran and was not known to have emigrated to another country. Data on the family is as follows: My great-grandparents Johann Haase Juliannia Ann (Nee Behnke) Haase Their Children Ida Juliania Haase; b. 4 July, 1860, d. 15 Oct. 1942 in USA Anna-Martha Haase (Known as Martha) b. between 1861 and 1879 Maxmillian Haase; b. between 1861 and 1879 Johann Julius Haase, b.19 May, 1880, d 5 Dec 1963 in USA (my Grandfather) Anne Haase, b. circa 1884 Married Mr. Hintz, one known child, Luzi. Any information on the family of Anna-Martha Haase and her husband (or any other member of this branch of the Haase family) would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I was doing some research for a friend when I posted the original details of what we know of our Lippmanns. I see there are similarities in dates and point of emigration. I believe our Lippmanns lived for the most part in Queens, Brooklyn. Do you see any info that agrees with what you already know for details after they had arrived in the USA such as names of children etc? I have returned all the paperwork to my friend but can get it back if necessary. Her father was called Lippmann and she was the result of a wartime liaison between her mother and this US officer while stationed in the UK. Hope you can find time to answer if you can see a connection. Best regards Patrick Walker

Hello J. Thanks for writing. I am so sorry it took me so long to get back to you. I'm working on the family history right now, as well as this project, and taking two classes while working. I will add your data to my ever growing list. It is interesting that so many names are found in both Cincinnati and Auglaize and once I'm done with the family history and my job search I plan on putting a lot more time into my project and attempting to see if indeed there is a connection between these families in Auglaize, Cincinnati, Covington and Oldenburg (IN). I bet I will find many connections. I will contact you if I cross any of the names you are looking for. Thanks again for writing.
