HI David, I've published several publications for my families. I've used Family Tree Maker for publishing trees. What are you wanting to do? dan

Kristi; Ah, now I understand the issue. Thanks for the clarification. I agree with you on the FTM books. They certainly don't give one the flexibility that I would prefer. I just got the new FTM but; haven't explored the book options in it yet. It sure is different than previous versions. Does my mileage vary??

1. What software, if any, do you use for genealogy? Am I undertanding right, you'd like to include a particular diagram or diagrams from your genealogy software in the book? What software are you using to write the book? For example, if you use Family Tree Maker, the diagrams can be exported to adobe acrobat reader (.pdf) files. And .pdf files can be included in Microsoft Word files. Or you could show the diagrams on screen, use a screen capture utility, then pull the capture into a graphics program to crop/resize/etc. 2. How do you plan to publish the book? I've recently become a huge fan of Lulu.com and have helped several folks write their memoirs, including photographs, for hardback and softback publication. It is publish-on-demand, so you only pay for what you want, no "inventory" of books. If you make a change to the book, you upload a new file and all future editions printed will reflect the change.

The transition from a document file to their specified .pdf format is a tiny bit tricky, but there are some nice tutorials. --Kristi in Iowa > ----------------------------- > > Subject: [PRUSSIA-ROOTS] Best way to Import a Family Tree into Book? > > >> Hello to everyone, >> >> I would like to import a plain family tree (boxes) onto a plain blank >> page >> of a book I am putting together.

Rather than a book (expensive in the long run along with updates), how about burning information to a DVD (includes photo's if you want to include them). Import/Export of previously used software does not appear to be an issue. Unfortunately, it involves an expensive software program called 'Wholey Genes.' But, advantage is the ease of use once everything is installed and information applied. It also has part of the program that deals with burning DVD's, labels for DVD's etc. To learn more, Google and go through their information sheets. There may be other programs that would have the same end result of family trees on DVD's. So... Books or DVD's, that is the question! I vote DVDs' because of the cost and ease of issuing updates.

David Are you looking primarily for a blank organizational chart that others can fill in with their information? Visio is good for creating org charts. It's a Microsoft program that comes MS office, but may be free to download as well. It's pretty intuitive and would give you the blank boxes in a hierarchical structure. You should be able to save the result as a picture file and import it as a graphic into whatever you are using for your book.

Hello, Herb! Just something to be aware of . . . In some of the old handwriting styles the T’s looks like F’s to us nowadays, and vice versa.  So when you say the ship’s manifest records the Teske surname as Ferke, that’s probably really not the case.  It may look like Ferke to you, and it may very well be incorrectly transcribed in indexes, etc., but I wouldn’t be at all surprised if the register doesn’t actually say Teske if you compare letter by letter to an old handwriting guide. The  surname of some of my German ancestors starts with “F”, so I’ve experienced this problem myself.  I’ve found it really helpful to study the old handwriting styles, especially the letters your ancestor's surnames start with, to better understand how the names might be misread and incorrectly indexed.

Thanks, Cheryl.  And you are correct.  However, the letter "T" in this instance looked so much like an "F" that the recorder at Castle Garden also wrote "F".  He even shortened the surname to "Ferk."  I appreciate the link you sent.

Veronica, Colon (Kolon) or Colonist was a generic term for a farmer. He didn't necessarily own a piece of land, but had rights to a piece of land. From the Latin colonia meaning "settled land, farm".

First, the correct Polish name is Wegorzewo, and the first e has a little hook on it which makes the vowel nasalized, so it sounds like "Ven-go-ZHE-voh." Lovely location, on the north end of one of the prettiest of the Masurian Lakes. Unfortunately, the Russians shelled the daylights out of it in 1945 and most of the buildings are newer, in the cement-slab style of the Workers' Paradise. The parish church was only partially destroyed, has been rebuilt, and still has an organ built in the mid-1600s. Some of the public records were stored in the castle, which was bombed to shreds and those records lost. Others survive. There's a society in Germany of people who (or whose families) came from East Prussia and they are slowly publishing whatever records they can find. I don't have time to look it up right now, but will do so ASAP. Or just Google for Angerburg. Angerburg was the "county town" and a lot of people "from" there actually were from one of the villages scattered around. So you -may- have quite a bit of searching to do.

Great job, Yvonne - and you're exactly right about spelling. No wonder we go 'round and 'round! Maureen In a message dated 9/5/2009 5:32:16 P.M. Pacific Daylight Time, [email protected] writes: Hi Herb, I kept looking at the the name Oserwein and finally I thought perhaps there is a letter missing. As nobody could find Oserwein I found Osterwein in what is now Polen. Just a thought! Many times during research I come across towns that have been misspelled at one time or another. Hope this helps.

Hello, Now that we have more information about my dear husband's great-grandfather I have rejoined this list. Christian Friedrich Wilhelm KOEHLER was born 22 Sept 1837 in Klinkow, Brandenburg, Prussia. >From his marriage record we find that his parents were Maria BRAND & Christian KOEHLER. We would love to know if they had other children, but so far, have not been able to locate that information. Although Christian (born 1837) emigrated out of Germany to the United States in 1863, we are still hoping to connect with any of the family who remained in Europe, as well as any in the US.. Naturally, we cannot be certain of the KOEHLER spelling, but this is the most common spelling we have found, thus far, for this US prodigenator of the family.
