Audrey, According to my German-English dictionary: Berg - mountain, hill Burg - castle, fortress, citadel, stronghold Since the latter places were usually situated on the highest ground, I guess a Burg would be situated on a Berg. Maybe if there was no citadel or stronghold, but the city was on a mountain or hill, they used Berg, but Burg if there was a castle or fortress. That you might find out from someone who is more acquainted with naming customs for towns, or an historian. I am neither, just giving you the meanings of the words.

berg was built on a hill.......burgh usually had a castle or military installation. J

BRONWYN (I like that name) ~ thanks for your boost of support. My husband thinks I'm already obsessed and that genealogy is a colossal waste of time. Sometimes I have to 'sneak' it! It makes it more difficult if I have to go to the historical society. Luckily, I've ended up living right in the middle of where most of my mother's people came from - from Albany to Wayne Co, PA and I'm right here. Believe me, I never took genealogy into account when I moved here. I only know about the LDS records because my mom became a Mormon and I found that most, but not all the material she submitted was correct. Otherwise, I would have assumed that the information on IGI & FamilySearch was documented "proof". She did give me the step I needed, though, to get started. And transcriptions...although I am heartily grateful to all those volunteers that poured over blurry, mis-spelled photos of documents, some were not as well transcribed as others. Look at the originals, if you can, to see if you agree with the transcription. AUDREY ~ Places names in the German Empire changed many times as the flow of politics washed back and forth over the area and borders were re-drawn and languages and alphabets changed. Try these sites to see if you can discover what the name of that town might be today: The JewishGen ShtetlSeeker (Town Seeker) - synonyms for villages in the German Empire, Russia, Turkey (don't be surprized if they changed radically over time): http://www.jewishgen.org/ShtetlSeeker/ East & West Prussia Gazetteer (with links to other German Empire areas and information): http://www.progenealogists.com/germany/prussia/pru-p.htm Encyclopedia Britannica, 1911 version, has a bunch of European cities listed with social studies type information (governement of the time, major industries, etc.): http://encyclopedia.jrank.org/ GENERAL PASSENGER LIST CAVEAT ~ I just found out the hard way that NOT ALL the passenger records at the www.castlegarden.org site were from ships that landed in New York. My GF is recorded there, so I spent a whole day traveling to the Manhattan branch of the National Archives (where the people are knowledgeable and very helpful), but try as we might, "his" ship, the Wiemar landing on 22 Apr 1891, was just not on the roll of film that it should have been. The librarians all discussed this and went in different directions to try to find out what happened. After a while they told me that the ship did indeed land on that date, but in BALTIMORE. They don't have the film rolls for Baltimore, so I had to content myself with the "Germans to America" entry. Wasted road-trip! Additionally, many records were left out of the "G to A" volumes. If you want to find out what records and what to do, read this article at the Research Center for German Emigrants in the USA at the Universität Oldenburg: http://www.uni-oldenburg.de/nausa/onceag.htm. The home page for the Research Center is: http://www.uni-oldenburg.de/nausa/onceag.htm . The pages themselves are in English, though the online books, etc, are in German. They have great links to other passenger list sites and German archives. They also sell a cool repro of an 1853 map many German bought at the time that shows them American destination cities (in German) with the sailing routes of the time. Others are 1900 maps of the German Empire. So much data, so little time!

Greetings John Haase: I received a copy of your posting re: Johann Friedrich Haase from Dieter Sommerfeld. I sense there might be a distant connection to my HAASE family from Prussia. Some data on my Haase family is as follows: My Great Grandparents were Johann Haase and Juliania Ann nee Behnke. I do not have their birthdates but presume they were born circa 1840. Their five known children were born between 1860 and 1886 when the family resided in the area around Thorn/Bromberg, West Prussia. These children are; Ida Haase, born July, 1860 , Ann Martha (known as "Martha"), Maximillian Haase. Both Ida and Max were born between 1861 and 1879), Johann (known in the USA as "John") Julius Haase (MY grandfather) born May, 1880, and Anne nee Haase born circa 1886. We know Ida married Karl Retzke of Hinterpommern while both were in the USA. My grandfather, John, married Clara Grochowske in Chicago, IL and Anne married Mr. "Hintz" in Germany. Anne, Max and Martha are thought to have stayed in Germany with Ida and Johann emigrating to the USA. John and Ida both came to the USA and settled in Chicago. John (Johann Julius Haase) remained in Chicago while Ida later moved to Michigan. The family was Lutheran while in the USA. If you see any connection to your Haase line in the above, you can contact me directly at either of the e-mail addresses below. Warren Haase wghjan@yahoo.com<mailto:wghjan@yahoo.com> or janwgh@msn.com<mailto:janwgh@msn.com>

Is there a specific group for the Otterndorf area or anyone with access to records. My people were from around there, some maybe from Hadein or Hadeln(small village) Also have Mensing and Scharff from the Bremen area, but no luck finding info on them. First names are: Marie Einstein(Marr: Thode) Augusta Mensing(or Scharff) Marr: Thode Edward, Henry, Carl, August, Catherine, Caroline, and one other sister, children of John Jacob Thode(who b/d in Germany) and Marie Einstein (B: Ger D:Jo Daviess County, IL) All sons but Henry and Carl came to JDC. Henry came to NY City(wife: Eliza Lohman) and I think Carl died in Ger.

Hello, Listers - My name is Julia and I have GP, GGP, aunts, uncles who came from Germany and supposedly Prussia. I'll have questions to ask as I'm not very experienced in genealogy. (Only been at it about 3 months and so far, I'm merely an Internet searcher.) But right now, I want to point out that the LDS has roughly two kinds of records. 1. Source records that they've gone around the world to photograph. These are the same records we would be puzzling over if we could travel to Germany or wherever. 2. Member-submitted "genealogical research". It is a religious requirement that good Mormons research their ancesters and send in their findings to have the Church ordinances performed by proxy for their deceased relatives so that the families will all be baptized and "sealed" to each in heaven. Now, the various members have different views on this - some get really interested and do the best job they can while others want to get it over with. They ALL are amatuers (like me!). In addition, research was much more difficult before PCs and the Internet. My mother was a Mormon in the years before her death. She got really into it and wrote all over the place for information. Even though she did the best job she could without a WWW and PC, with failing eyesight and health, she submitted her findings to the Church for the ordinances to be done. However, the Church checks only to see if the historic persons in the Church member's genealogy already had the ordinances or not; THEY DO NOT CHECK THE ACCURACY OF THE SUBMITTED DATA. The LDS "IGI" records are taken from the member-submitted pedigrees and files. They are heavily weighted to familes of Mormon submitters which means it's also prone to errors with a heavy slant to the WASPy and little info about Jewish or Black ancestors. So don't get too upset if member-submitted pedigrees are inaccurate or even downright screwy. I know my mother's data had flaws, though I'm impressed with she did get right with such technological and health disadvantages. Take the member-submitted pedigrees and files with a grain of salt and use them as inspiration for other avenues to persue, but prove everything. These records are just too weak to use as citation material. Good luck! Julia " I found the following family listed from familysearch.org. 3540.
