Hello all I have a book titled, “History of the Polish Settlers in New Zealand ”. The book lists names of the settlers that came to New Zealand up until 1987. This includes people from Prussia , Germany and of course Poland itself. The book includes passenger lists and the ships they sailed on. Family members have also included history of their family. I would be happy to look up any requests anyone may have such as family names, passenger lists etc. Take care Karl Osten ___________________________________________________________ What kind of emailer are you?

A quick search on Google will tell you all you need to know about mobile phones for you to do your own homework. For example, it gives: http://www.kelkoo.co.uk/b/a/co_1625-mobile-phone-guide-buyers-guides-to-mobi le-phones.html Will your phone work in Poland? Depends on what sort of phone you bought in the US. -- GSM: The Global System for Mobile Communications uses three frequencies for phones, 900MHz, 1800MHz and 1900 MHz. A dual-band phone will work on two out of three frequencies (900MHz and 1900MHz). These are the frequencies used in Europe, Asia and most other places except the United States (which uses 1800MHz). A tri-band phone will operate on all three frequencies and therefore, in theory, will work anywhere in the world. -- Roaming: Roaming allows you to use your phone abroad on other networks. You will need to be authorised to use roaming by your provider and not all of the services you have in your home country may be available. Generally, text messaging is permitted but voice calls may be restricted to the country you are in unless you have full roaming. If you have a spare tri-band phone, take thet with you and purchse a local pay-as-you go SIMM card in Poland. Use that for local calls [calls in Poland]. Use your other triband phone to call back home to the US. No ti-band phone? Tough - that's what comes of the US authorities never believing that the original 11 European GSM MOU countries would agree a common digital mobile standard back in the 1980s. C'est la vie.

Jane Cumber, I have put some info after the message you sent me. Arnold Ross Arnold The records for this time are in handwritten form rather then in column form and very poor quality. My family is from the Klein Nakel and Stranz area, and the town Battrow was included on the film for Luebin which included Klein Nakel. I don't mind looking for a record or two for Rohs/Ross but I need some first names or at the very least approximate dates. If these are found, you can then order the film. My plans are to visit the FHL this weekend. I work full time and only some Saturday mornings can I fit this into my schedule. I look forward to hearing from you. Jane I am looking for the children of Michael Rohs, born in Battrow, Kreis Flatow and was married to Karoline W. Roeding on 9 Jan 1844 in Battrow. I would also like info on the parents of Michael Rohs. Mainly trying to get paper work for verification. Believe that one of the children was August Albert Rohs(Ross) born Nov. 1850 in Battrow and married Wilhelmine Gerth. Would like to also verify that this was a child of Michael and who were the other children? The village next to Battrow was Linde(now Lipka) and this is where my father was born and probably there were Rohs/Ross relatives there. Since the Germans were moved out of Poland after WWII there are no Rohs/Ross's in the area. I have found that my father and 2 aunts did not leave much information regarding relatives they left behind when they came to America. Shirt tail relativea are named Bullert. Johann Bullert was mayor of Linde in the 1930's. You might find something on them. Looking for help from anyone. I will be going to Germany to visit relatives (in some cases I know more genealogy than they do) and wish to visit the records office's in Berlin and also the one in Leipzig. Has anyone had experience with these two offices? <BR><BR><BR>**************************************<BR> AOL now offers free email to everyone.

Did you know it contains records of births, marriages, and deaths for the period of 1798 through 1874 - the time period you're asking about? See this link . . . http://www.familysearch.org/Eng/Library/fhlcatalog/supermainframeset.asp?display=titledetails&titleno=90135&disp=Kirchenbuchduplikat%20%20&columns=*,0,0 Here is another link for microflmed records of other villages in Kr.

If so, and you found nothing, then you may have the wrong locale for your ancestors. If you have not looked at them, it seems a waste to go to the records office in Berlin or Leipzig without looking at these first at your nearest LDS Family History Center.

> Just to add... capitol of Prussia after 1871. Before 1871, the capitol of > Prussia was located in Ostpreussen (East Prussia). sorry, wrong. Prussia was a grand duchy from 1525 until 1701. The kingdom of Prussia was formed in 1701 and existed until 1918, the state of Prussia from 1918 until 1947. The capital of all three was Berlin. Koenigsberg in East Prussia remained the city of the coronation of the Prussian dukes and later kings and was made the capital of the province of Prussia, formed out of East and West Prussia in 1829, both being just one part of the kingdom of Prussia which included much more of Germany Chris

The purpose of this list is to assist fellow researchers in finding their Prussian origins. There are many subscribers who donate their time and experience in answering queries with the hope that those replies will save time (sometimes a lot of time!) for those posing the query. Some post database findings as replies and others post how to find the record. Regardless of the type of reply, it takes time to do the looking and write it. Those receiving the benefit of those replies should be courteous enough to at least send an acknowledgment of the reply to each person that sent them an answer. Posting a blanket, "Thanks to everyone who answered," on the list is just plain LAZY. These people took enough time to read your query and suggest a (sometimes lengthy) answer possibly saving you 100s of hours of research and you can't even send them an individual acknowledgment? That's nonsense. The acknowledgment can be sent privately, and should be if you received multiple replies so as not to clutter the list. Before posting a question, see if you can find the answer first. Over the past week there have been more than a few geography/history queries that could be answered by simply using a search engine. Answers about German geography and history are not precluded from search engines - try them! Try and help yourself. Remember, Google is your friend . . . Don't forget using the LDS Library Catalog - doing a "place search" will yield answers that show the country/kingdom/state/city which may answer many, many questions. People like to help those who help themselves. In fact, a person needing help who demonstrates in their query that they've tried to find the answer before posting the query is likely to get more (and better) replies than someone who simply posts, "Where is . . ." Don't be lazy. Look for the answer yourself first, and if you truly can't find it step right up and there are many on this list who will try to help. Finally, genealogy is self-taught. You can't learn how to research on this list, or any other mailing list. Buy a German Genealogy how-to book. Attend lectures locally (many are FREE). Read the FREE German Research Guide available to download at the LDS web site. German records are far different than records from other countries and contain a WEALTH of information. But, if you don't know what that record is, how will you ever find it much less find your ancestors? And, if you do some of these things, then you, too, can begin to answer queries on this list in the future! ;) Good luck, LGO
