I wonder if you are talking about the original German area of Pomerania because according to the map Pomerania included some German areas? The area where my relatives come from was first Poland and my family's name in the 1600s through 1800 was a Polish spelling (Cyman), then Germany invaded in the 1800s and tried to close down the Catholic Church and forced everyone to speak German, and German became the standard language and not even stores could contain Polish spelling. Imagine older folks who spoke Polish their whole lives now needing to learn a new language. My relative's name was changed to Zieman, the German spelling and this German occupation was the reason for their immigration in 1868. When they got to the US, they changed their name back to Cyman and built churches where they could no longer be persecuted. Imagine the difficulty in finding my relatives church records in the old country because I was looking for Cyman; only after I did some research did I learn that their name was changed to the German spelling--along with the town names from Polish to German. But just because their last name was changed to a German spelling doesn't mean they were German. They were always Polish, even under German occupation.

I need some suggestions for the name of birthplace for an ancestor. The Saint Louis, Missouri, 1880 US census gives "Ryanbroth" as the place of birth. The family of Mathias Ehlen probably came from the Rhine area, so I assume the town should be Rhein+something. Does anybody have any suggestions for a town that sounds like Ryanbroth? Thanks!

Hi Tami, have you tried to get his death certificate. You have his death date and where he died. The death certificate could give you also the mother's maiden name which then could give us a lead back to Prussia. Do you know where he is burried? I have tried all kind of search enginges, but couldn't find anything. Mississippi seems to be your link. Do you have his sister's death certifcate? Where is she burried? My thinking is that the civil war scattered the family and that's why you can't find them in censuses. As I said the mother's maiden name could be of importance. I also looked in my German Names book and there is no Kiezel, but Kiesel.

This seems like such an obvious idea that I'm surprised no one in my family has thought of it yet -- which makes me suspicious, haha. The surname I'm researching is Hinsberger. I've located them in Enchenberg, Lorraine, and gone back to the early 1700s where there's a brick wall (the earliest ancestor has no parents or birthplace listed in his marriage record, and no one is sure when/where he was born). Looking at his surname and keeping in mind the four different types, Hinsberger would seem to be a geographic surname, and there is a German town near the modern Netherlands border called Heinsberg, a few hundred km north of Enchenberg. Keeping in mind that my earliest Hinsberger was married to a woman from Cologne (which is near Heinsberg), are my assumptions reasonable and should I start looking at Heinsberg records? I see the FHL has some records from the relevant period, but I've struck out with my last several microfilms so I'm hesitating. Thanks, Sarah

I think the ship is actually the "Sea Lion," which in 1853 arrived from Hamburg to New York on 21 November. Can you confirm this spelling? There's a free site, http://castlegarden.org , and a search for anyone named Jenssen who traveled from 1852-1854 results in a Jochen (Joachim?) Jenssen, age 25, wife Elisabeth age 20, and Mina, eight months old. But that doesn't match your fellow's birth year or the name of his wife. You can explore yourself to see what you can find. I checked the Hamburg ship lists at http://ancestrylibrary.com (a paid subscription site) for his departure and Jochen is listed, with the further information that he came from Petershagen, Mecklenburg before his departure from Hamburg. Does this match any location information you have for your Jenssens? Another free site, http://familysearch.org , may be of some use if you can determine where he may have settled. This will be the hard part of your search because you don't know what states to consider. Johann may have used any or all of his names after emigrating. He may have been known as John, William, or Christopher or some combination...or even Hans. His wife may have been known by any of her names as well. He may also have changed his last name, which might have become Johnson. So all those terms would have to be searched. A general search through U.S. census records doesn't turn up any Jenssen/Jensen/Johnson born in 1812 from Germany. Unfortunately census records didn't begin to include emigration year until 1900. I wish I could help further. This is going to be a tough one because of the early date of emigration and Johann's age at the time of emigration. If he died before the 1860 census he would not have been recorded at all unless you're lucky enough to find him in a death record somewhere in the U.S. Try the http://familyserch.org site and plug in the various names you have. You may find something of interest. Regards, Debra MacLaughlan-Dumes http://sakionline.net/familypage
