Hello, I am new to this list and am seeking information on researching in Germany. My ancestors came to The States during the Palatine movement in December 1764, after Johann Heinrich Christian, calling himself, Sieur De Stumpel tricked them, along with about 400 others, into thinking they were going to Nova Scotia. Anyway, I believe Georg Feltmann and his wife Elizabeth Kleeman Feltmann, along with their children came from the Frisian Islands. Here is where the problems begin; I can't find any good maps or information on the governmental structure of the islands. I don't know if they are comparable to our states or counties and have centers of government, or would I have to go into mainland Germany to research. At this point I don't know which island they originated from, but I plan to go to Germany next spring to research. Can someone who is familiar with the Frisian Islands advise me on the best location to start my research? Thank you very much, Jerry Feltman Alabama USA
