There have been many references to FANA on this site lately. It sounds perhaps that it may be a general site to use for my Prussian reserch ...but perhaps not what it is and what kind of info might be available here. So....what is FANA ???

Hello, MAUREEN ~ My poorly worded question was an attempt to ask about procuring previously answered queries listed in the index http://cefha.org/de/gi/fana/fana-idx.html. For example, the Meir-Ewert query is in Familienkundliche Nachrichten (FANA) Volume 10 issues #3, #4 and #5. Would it be worthwhile to order a copy of that volume to see what it says or a poor way to spend my money? Yours, Julia _________________________________________________________________ Like puzzles?

As always, I quite agree with Le-Geefted-One! I found Chlapau in Meyers - it is indeed a Dorf (village) in Prussia, West Prussia, government district of Danzig (Gdansk in Polish, currently), Kreis (similar to our county) and court district of Neustadt, with a Standesamt (civil registration office for births, marriages and deaths from around 1874-76) at Schwarzau. In 1910 there were 422 residents. Maureen Schoenky ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.

Sorry - hit the send button too fast! I think there's a good possibility you have a family connection - sound counts more than spelling. I looked up Stangendorf - there's one in East Prussia, one in West Prussia, and one near Chemnitz - all villages.

Julia, you're most welcome! In order to get a reply to any queries you publish in FANA you don't have to do anything beyond including your name, address, and e-mail with your query, and the responses will come directly to you. Isn't a specific response what you're looking for? The responses will come from individuals who see your query in the publication, not from FANA itself, who is the publisher. I would keep your query brief, along the lines of: parents of x and x, married x, at x, (include all spellings you have) If there is some portion you're not positive about, just insert a (?) or christening of x, Catholic, x date in x place; a carpenter, given names It doesn't work to ask for "everything you have on the Schmidtenhausen family somewhere in Baden". You may find the mother lode, you may find one specific answer - either way, it's worth it to give it a shot, I think. And your query will be archived and available from publication on into the future. Your story of the evolution of Ewart - Evert - Everett is most interesting - and so true. It does pay to record all the spellings and varieties as they stand - we cannot "correct" them, and besides, I think it's much more interesting that way. There is still a stigma against people with Germanic names even today - I can tell you stories you would not believe. Also, recently met a lady who was done in by a census taker way back - surname Isinoggle - holy cow - that is supposed to be Eisenagel (iron nail)! Back to queries - if you do receive a response, be absolutely certain to send a thank-you of some kind. And if you receive mail from Europe, please do reimburse them for the copies and postage, which is very expensive there. (They cannot use US postage.) Do not send a personal check, however; the transfer fees eat up more than the amount of the check. There are lots of courtesies and protocols to be followed, which are amply described by Mr. Jensen and Dr. Watson, whose websites I cited. Bear in mind also, churches everywhere have been bombarded with a gazillion American genealogy requests - but their business is that of the church, not genealogy, so tread lightly and donate generously. There are companies here which will provide you with Euros (International Currency Express is one). And then you wait - sometimes this takes weeks, months, even years. Asking where the heck your ancestors' papers are after 6 months does not help your cause, especially with a church. On the other hand, you may receive a wonderful response from your FANA query within two weeks of the publication date, as I did, from a gentleman in Germany with a huge database. And that was before I was on line. Maureen Schoenky ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.

Pat, First, I suggest that you not put "Surnames I am searching" in your subject line. Many researchers still browse e-mail list archives manually and all they see are the subject lines. Putting "Bolda" in the subject line would drastically increase your odds of being found if a distant relative was a browsing type of person. Second, "Chlapau" is not listed (at least by that spelling) in the LDS Library Catalog list of places. If that spelling is correct, then it is probably such a small place that the records (both church and civil) are located in a nearby, larger town. Go to your nearest LDS Family History Center and look at "Meyer's Orts" for Chlapau. It will tell you which parish/town where you can find the records. In fact, I just Googled "Chlapau" and found that it is referred to as a "dorf" (see link below, scroll down to the bottom of the page, and look at the highlighted items.). Here in the U.S. a "dorf" would be considered a "bump in the road" kind of place. A one stop light town. So it's highly likely that any records for the inhabitants of that dorf will be held elsewhere. http://64.233.167.104/search?q=cache:or-K3UxLxqQJ:baza.archiwa.gov.pl/sezam/karta.php%3Farch%3D10%26zesp%3D58%26cd%3D0%26referer%3D%26offset%3D300+Chlapau&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=9&gl=us Don't be too quick to look for others researching the same names so you can "connect." Far too often information from those sources are in error, and certainly not considered "proof" by any genealogical standard. Genealogy is difficult enough in trying to avoid our own errors. Don't magnify that by accepting someone else's. Remember, genealogy is not searching for ancestors. It's searching for the records that name the ancestors.

Greetings, I'm wondering if anyone might know of any German-language websites concerning Y-DNA haplogroup G? I sent an email in English about the results of my recent Y-DNA test to my German cousin but unfortunately he doesn't read English well, and translating DNA results and theories of haplogroups can be especially difficult. I'm especially interested in sites that deal with the most mainstream theories about the origins and migration of haplogroup G. (It's one of the rarer and less understood haplogroups but the going theory among geneticists is that ancestors of Europeans of haplogroup G may have come to the continent about 10,000 years ago bringing agricultural skills and the Indo-European language with them.)

Dear MAUREEN ~ I appreciate not only this reply, but all the mini-lessons you are so good to give us. I copy & paste them for future reference. "----Original Message Follows---- From: Spaghettitree@aol.com Hi Julia - I cannot tell what Meier-Ewert means without any of the context - perhaps it is a marriage connection, or a change of name or perhaps, if around Ösnabrueck, a farm-name-family-name connection. Meier and Ewert are both German and can be of various spellings. Ewert is aligned with Evert, Evers. In Bahlow's book, Evers (Low German) 'son of Evert, in other words Everhart, also Ewers, Ewert, Lower Rhine Evertz. Enlarged forms are Evermann, Ewermann, patronymic Everling, Everding (Westphalia), short form Everke (Hanover 1348). The name Ewert in German, of course, is pronounced Evert." My GF came to Cleveland in 1891 as "Ewert", appeared on the 1900 & 1910 census as "Evert", and by the 1920 census the family was calling themselves "Everett" - a good example of the evolution of a surname, first by changing the spelling to match US phonetics, then a change to avoid anti-German feelings with WWI. Any idea how to get the FANA organization query replies? Are they worth the effort to buy or are the replies far too specific to apply more universally?

I kind of remember someone researching this name. I have a Johan in my films from Gross Herzogswalde, Kreis Rosenberg, West Prussia.

I posted a message a few weeks back about the surnames I am searching, I just gave the surnames. I was kinda hoping someone may have been search these names alsoand I could connect with them. But a lot of you asked what their given names were. Here is what I have: my great grandfather Joseph Bolda (could be spelled Bolde Boldo) born 1860 in Chlapau, West Prussia (now Chlapowo, Poland) son of Joseph Bolda & Marianna Rathenau (Rathenow) they married 1857 in Chlapau. My great grandfather married Susanna Sawitzki (american Zywicki) born about 1868, Nov. 1888 in Detroit, Mi. Susanna died in 1918 and Joseph in 1944, After Susanna died Joseph remarried a Rose Schmidt who was married to an August Schmidt. The children of Joseph & Susanna are. Joseph b. 1889, Clara b. 1891, Bertha b.1892(M. Alexander Measel), Teresa b. 1895, Harry b. 1887 (died in prison 1958), Tillie b. 1899 (m. Lear J. Roby) d. 1977, Rose b. 1901 (m Orla Collier) d. 1966, Twins Helen & Agnes b. 1904 (Helen m. Thomas Barrett) d. 1998, (Agnes m. Anthony Sengstock & Alex Wojick) d. 1979. I have found the family in the 1910 census and some of the names are wrong but these are the names. They were all born in Detroit, Mi. On the other side of my family we have Julius Sengstock b. 1862 who married Mary Pottrykus b. 1867 there children were Agnes b. 1883, Anna b, 1891, Frank b. 1893, Anthony b.1898 (he married Agnes Bolda), Mary Ann b.1904, Clara b. 1907. Any help will be appreciate. Pat --------------------------------- Get the free Yahoo! toolbar and rest assured with the added security of spyware protection.

Maureen, Those that use a German translation program soon learn that one must; (1) use short simple sentences (2) be sure not to use words that in English can have different meanings i.e. ("fish for information" vs look for information) (3) try not to use compound sentences because the translation program will mess it up. My last name is Ross and when used in a letter to some one, the translation will come out "Pferd', which is a horse (stallion) in German. Of course this would drive some Germans up the wall wondering what does a horse have to do with the text. A little knowledge of German goes a long way in being able to correct the translation before being sent. Arnold Ross ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.

Gross = Large Herzog = Duke Herzog's = belonging to a Duke Walde = Woods or forest Where was it?? Many areas of Prussia/Germany have this sort of designation. It sounds as though your Gross Herzogswalde may have been part of a royal families forest. Which one?? Another problem..! You Teschke family could have been associated/worked for the Duke in some capacity. You just never know what will be turned up. Also, don't discount US records such as the first church they joined and attended. Could be pivotal information. Try Googling Treten/Rummelsburg and maybe a couple of other search engines to try and isolate which royal family had control of this forest during what time period.... and always, always keep a separate listing of your findings (with sources) so as to not go over material twice. Eventually, what you seek will float to the top! Regards, Rollo+~~ ======================= I married into the Teschke family originating from Treten, Kreis Rummelsburg, Pommern in the early 1900's.
