---Werter Herr Kunze! Ein kleines Mißverständniss ist entstanden. Ich habe keine Kritik üben wollen an der Niedersachsen Liste. Seit Jahren bin ich eingeschrieben in den verschiedenen Listen, wie Niedersachsen, Hannover, Hessen, Old German und mehr. In keiner der Listen wurde jemals Münden oder Orte der Umgebung genannt oder persönliche Namen die mich interessieren. Ich habe es mit den Mormonen versucht, auch kein Erfolg, scheinbar sind die Kirchenbücher nicht kopiert worden, Ortsfamilienbücher sind nicht angelegt worden, Computergenealogie hat keine offensichlichen Informationen. Mein Wunsch war am Internet zu recherchieren. Die Namen und Orte, die ich eigegeben hatte, waren des öfteren in Listen erschienen, mit allen Daten. Vor Jahren war Frau Brendel uns sehr behilflich in Oberode und Hedemünden mütterlicherseits zu suchen, aber sie ist wohl verstorben. Von Mutters Seite haben wir wohl alle Informationen. Nun muß ich wohl versuchen jemand zu finden, der für mich in den Kirchenbüchern nachschaut, denn Britisch Columbien ist doch etwas zu weit entfernt, um es selbst zu machen. Karl Scheibe kenne ich noch von meiner Jugend, ich bin nur etwas älter, denn ich bin nämlich in Münden geboren und aufgewachsen. Mit der Gegend und der Geschichte bin ich gut bewandert. Noch schönen Dank für Ihre E-Mail. Schönen Gruß von Kelowna im Okanagan Tal in BC, Canada. Günter Hille -- Original Message ----- From: KlausKunzeUslar@aol.com To: ghille@telus.net Sent: Saturday, March 05, 2005 1:13 AM Subject: Südniedersachsen Sehr geehrter Herr Hille, diese Liste ist eben nicht alles. Sie wird auch von vielen Fremden und von Anfängern genutzt, die selbst keinen Zugriff auf die Kirchenbücher haben und erste Anhaltspunkte suchen. Wer selbst da wohnt, wo er sucht, braucht sie nicht. Natürlich sind alle Orte gut erforscht, aber von Genealogen, die nicht die Krücke einer solchen Liste benötigen. Was Sie zu Ihren Namen schreiben, ist zu allgemein. Schreiben Sie mal exakt die Namen und Daten, die Sie suchen. Karl Scheibe, Kalandstraße 1, 34346 Hannoversch Münden bearbeitet den gesamten Kirchenkreis Hann.Münden und dürfte am ehesten als jemand in Frage kommen, der Ihre Fragen beantworten kann. Schreiben Sie ihm auf Deutsch. Der Herr ist sehr tüchtig, aber über 80 Jahre, und ich weiß nicht, ob er mit einem Brfief auf Englisch etwas anfangen könnte. Mit freundlichen Grüßen Klaus Kunze http://klauskunze.com

Hello Listers, I wonder why so little research has been done in Hann. Muenden and around, Kauffunger Wald, Reinhards Wald, Bramwald. I am watching several lists for some years, never a mention. I am searching for HILLE, STROHMEIER,AWEH, Hertje in Nienhagen, Lutterberg, Landwehrhagen, Escherode, Speele. Who has information? Greetings from Kelowna, Canada Gunter Hille

Hello, While I enjoy reading about everyone's searches and findings, I find that I spend more time reading these e-mails than I do searching for my ancestors. Thanks for any help I may have received through this list. To my knowledge, I have no ancestors from this area. I need to unsubcribe. Betty in St. Louis, Missouri

Hi Don, Great to hear you are doing better! I'm sure the folks on this list share with me continued good wishes! Take care! Thomas W. Johnson

I got covered up with "best wishes" after I announced my heart problem. It means sooooo much to hear from sooooo many nice folks. Blessings be upon thee and thy house! My "light duty" ends today, I can hug my wife much tighter (!!), tomorrow I get to drive again, hold our great-grandbaby, and pick up our Yorkie. Whoa! It doesn't get much better than that! Bottom line: I'm okay, and you guys are super! :-) Don

"Hanover" has several interpretations. It was a kingdom, a province, an area containing hundreds of villages, towns, cities, and Hannover was / is a major city. There is also a Hanöver near Bremen. You'll need to develop more information in Australia, with the help of our Australian friends on this list, that will take you back to Germany, and you may also want to check the Australian links at http://members.cox.net/hessen/16states.htm toward the lower part of the page. :-) Don

This is the first time I have posted the names I am searching. My great-grandmother was Anna Gesine Spalthoff born November 15, 1882. I wrote to Standesamt Delmenhorst (as I had found out that is possibly where she was born) and requested her birth record if they had it. I did receive back a copy of her birth record stating that her parents were this taken from the document "Hermann Spalthof (Spalthoff), resident in Delmenhorst, Langenstra*e, Protestant Lutheran confession and announced that from Anna Margarete Spalthof, bornBruns, his wife...." Anna Gesine Spalthoff left Germany and married Wilhelm Anderson, lived in Sweden, had her first two children there, immigrated to the US, had two more children, one being my grandfather. While living with her one son and daughter-in-law during her lifetime she never would speak of who she left behind in Germany or talk about her life while living there. In my request for her birth record I asked for any information regarding her parents or siblings. Stadt Delmenhorst respondes back " The marriage of Mr. Spalthoff and Mrs. Bruns is not recorded in the books of the Delmenhorst registry office. I can not find out, when and where Hermann Spalthoff and Anna Margarete Bruns got married. Unfortunately I can not tell you anything about her sisters and brothers." I bolded and underlined the "and" which jumps out at me that there were brothers and sisters. Any suggestions on how to find out more information. I have written to various "Spalthoff" people in Delmenhorst and heard back from one gentleman but I am not how to make the connection without getting names and birth records of the persons as his grandfather was Hermann Hinrich Spalthoff. His grandfather had 13 half-silbings with the last half-sibling being born in 1868 (could Anna Gesine's father been born in this first group of children???) and 4 brothers being born from 1872-1878. IF anyone has the names Spalthoff or Bruns in their family trees I would be interested in hearing from you, or any suggestions on how to proceed would be most welcome. Pattie Bartel

Hello I am trying to find the birth and parents of Ernst Heinrich Oermann who was born I think in Hanover 1821. Ernst know as Henry Oerman went to South Australia c1847 I think alone? Thankyou in anticipation Jill Morley

Hi Pattie, My earliest BRUNS is Timothea Bruns, born 1795 in Hannover. She married Gerhard Heinrich Schnelten in 1830 in Hannover, emigrated to the US, and died in St. Louis, MO. I also have several "miscellaneous" (not much data) Catholic BRUNS in my database. Among them is Anna Maria Henrietta Bruns born in 1860 and Agnes Bruns born in1881. When I was visiting and researching over there in Emsland county, my ears would perk up at the sound or sight of the BRUNS name. However, I was told by my German friends it was not worth pursuing because BRUNS was a common name there.

Don, Had one myself back in 2000 - do take care! Best regards Thomas W. Johnson

Been there, done that, Don. Take my word, it won't be long until you're feeling chipper again. Get well soon.

I have been tracking my husband’s family and have come to a block in my path. I have been able to trace his departure from Antwerp, Belgium in 1880 to the Port of New York. His great-grandfather’s name was Frederick Strauss (here in the United States). He was born January 23, 1858 – it is our understanding he was born in Wittenberg, Germany. He married Mary Robren Schweikhard in 1887 in Illinois. He died and is buried in Lexington, Nebraska. On the ship’s log he declared his occupation as a farmer. We believe him to be Lutheran as he was married in the Lutheran Church in Browns, Illinois. I was told he brought over a younger brother at a later time, possibly either a Christian or a Gottleib . . . I am not sure exactly where they originated from in Germany, but am searching all locations (all I have is birth location to be Wittenberg – but spelling may be incorrect for city name). I am desperately seeking to find his roots and trace them back as far as I can for the sake of our entire family. If anyone has any insight and/or knowledge of a Frederick Strauss . . . or possibly the spelling was Friedrich . . . I would appreciate a lead so that I can continue my search. I will follow up on any leads that I may receive. Thank you to all in advance. Yanya

Feel Better Soon Don, Good luck recovering.
