Mark, The link you linked looks very informative. Thank you for providing it. http://app.staatsarchive.niedersachsen.de/findbuch/ Is there any way to use this and obtain a list of all emigrants from a particular town? I am specifically interested in Schwagstorf and Alfhausen. I can find these towns (kirchspiel) in the database ... but can't find my specific people ... possibly because of a spelling error.

Meinrod Hinkebein was born in 1815 in Germany (the US census says Hanover). He immigrated to the U.S. around 1849. The only potential match I have found is this: Hinkebein, Meinert * 1818, Wohnort: Bookholt (Nordhorn), eingew. 1847 [StAOs] Rep 350 Neuhs., 668 From this page http://www.dialogos-studies.com/BIS-emigrants.html The source is listed as StAOs Rep 350 Nr 668. I have seen this source listed for other people on this page and other German genealogy pages (with different Rep and Nr numbers). Does anyone know what StAOs is? I am thinking it is like the church log book for St Augustino's or something along those lines. Is there any way to see what Rep 350 Nr 668 says? Is there any way to look through more of the source in hopes of finding a listing for my guy's birth? I'm going to a Hinkebein family reunion in a couple weeks and it would be great to be able to answer some of these questions.

The email that Stacey received was not FAKE. It was sent by me and I am the board admin. She was sent the email because she was not using the boards properly. I was attempting to help educate her on how the boards work. Anyone who has any questions should always contact the admin first. You can find any admin's address by clicking on Links and Announcements on any message board page. staceylynn61@hotmail.com wrote on 6/22/2005, 9:14 PM: > This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. > > Classification: Query > > Message Board URL: > > http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/ZVC.2ACE/3973 > > Message Board Post: > > I wanted to take a minute of everyone's time to report a problem I > have had twice now, in the hopes of showing support for fellow > "inexperienced" researchers who may have had something like this > happen.

Having said that, I also wanted to thank fellow message board posters here for their help, educational hints, and time.

This afternoon I got a second fake email from a woman claiming to be a Message Board Administrator, and affiliated with this area, who berated me for the "improper use of the surname box". I was told my postings "lead more ADVANCED researchers to useless messages" there by wasting their time, etc, etc. I wouldn't bother responding about this, except for the fact I include my email information in postings to help initiate contact with other researchers....not to assist someone in creating a hostile enviroment for other paid member's. I was of the impression that the message boards were for the open exchange of idea's and querries in our individual quests for answers. Do we need to be "advanced" in order to have a positive, courteous atmosphere even when it seems we're asking redundant or silly questions? I am always appreciative of someone who goes the extra mile in educating me on a geographic region, better use of Ancestry resources, or helping to guide me through their own experiences. I would hate to see the message board communities reception of "new" researchers/seekers become as openly hostile as this woman was to me.....we are ALL new and inexperienced at something once. I don't appreciate the "improper" use of my personal information and email address by someone with nothing to communicate in the way of geneaology, and so much time on their hands they feel the need to slap mine like an errant child.

Dehmke, Hameln, Hannover or Niedersachsen (first one, I would guess?) to my way of thinking I should be recording it as parish, town/village, Amt/county, then "State"? but I understand this could be incorrect because of shifting borders/names for time periods of those I'm researching....any help on how I should be correctly recording these folks and this area is greatly appreciated. thanks again for your time, and sorry for my misunderstanding.

Then, while holding down the "Alt" key -- (that's important -- while holding it down) -- type the numerical codes I will give you below, being sure that you type them using the number pad to the right of your keyboard: Ä = Alt + 0196 Ö = Alt + 0214 Ü = Alt + 0220 ä = Alt + 0228 ö = Alt + 0246 ü = Alt + 0252 ß = Alt + 0223 (this character is used in many, but not all, German words to represent "ss" and is only a lower case character) After typing the numerical code for whatever character you want to type, release the "Alt" key and the character will be there. As to your question as to how to properly list places on a chart, that would vary, depending upon just when the person in question lived. If you give me that information, I can tell you how to properly list the places. Robert
