Thanks, Rose. Yes, I have that book, but it's still a struggle. If someone more adept that I can read it, that would be helpful. If not, then I'll get to work. :-) This is just an old hymnal I got through eBay, so I happened to be looking through it carefully and found this writing in the back. Marilyn

A really useful reference for old handwriting (especially 1800s, which seems much harder to read than that of the 1600-1700s, to me, at least) is Edna Bentz's If I Can, You Can Decipher Germanic Records. It might be currently out of print, but it comes up on amazon.com (see the used and new options). It shows not only the old writing style, but has lists of words (dates, times, occupations, genealogical words) written in the script. Very helpful.

This is off list, but maybe someone can help me out anyway, or point me to the correct list. I just looked inside the back cover of a book published in Zwickaw in 1867. There are names and birth dates (and in one case a death date) written in there. Unfortunately, the information is written in the old German script and I can't even read enough of it to see whose names are there. I'm not set up to scan the image into an email. Is there someone out there who reads the old script to whom I can simply snail mail a photocopy? Thanks, Marilyn

It opens the possibility that the guy I was following in Dorum, Hanover, Germany, has the right name, but is the wrong guy -- not my ancestor. Oh, what a nightmare! Genealogy is so much fun. Anyway, thanks for the help. I'll have to ponder this for a few days.

Surnames: Buhr, Kruse, Henke, Bartels Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/ZVC.2ACE/3438.2.2 Message Board Post: Hello. I am researching Buhrs in Nidersachsen. My Buhr connection stated that she was born Dorothea Maria Buhr in the Ellerndorf province. She was born on November 14, 1848. She had a brother named Henry born Aug 2. 1856. Their father's name was William Buhr. Dorothea married Johann H.F. Kruse (born Feb 10. 1847) Their first three children, Elise,(1874) Mary (1876) and George Kruse(1880) were born in Hanstedt, Germany. They emmigrated to America on the Ship Hermann in 1882 and settled in Marshall County, Kansas then on to Caddo County, Oklahoma. Are these Buhrs familiar?

Seeking information on my ancestor: Anna Margaret LINDEMANN born Sept 29, 1760 married JanBerend WUBBEN in 1788 near Freren.
