Hi - According to Hans Bahlow's Dictionary of German Names: Stabe (Hamburg) means Low German Stave (quite frequently in Hamburg), see Johan mit dem Stave. Staben (frequently in Hamburg) corresponds to place name Stavos in Mecklenburg, like Stabenow (Hamburg) besides Stavenow. You MIGHT also find it spelled sometimes as Stabenau.

I am trying to find anything about the probably whereabouts that this family name would have come from. I am guessing that it would be closer to Poland or in the area nearer Berlin from the -ow suffix on it. Is anyone tracing the name or could you give me the best roots list that I could contact. Thanks for any information that you might be able to give me. Susan ________________________________________________________________________ AOL now offers free email to everyone.

I tried going to Sweden-L list and it wouldnt let me in to ask this question. A friends family came from Ostra Sallerup, Malmohus, Sweden. So far I have been unable to find it on a map, I am guessing it is a small village or something similar. Can anyone send me the correct list address or if they have familiarity with Sweden, the location of this place with nearby towns, etc. so I can locate it. Thanks in advance for any info you can give me. Susan ________________________________________________________________________ AOL now offers free email to everyone.

To all who responded to Berlin in 1820: Thank you very much. A follow-on question: Has anyone come across the surname Landmesser in the state of Brandenburg, particularly in the circa 1820 time period? Thanks, Tom Landmesser

Hi, > Was Berlin part of Prussia in the year 1820? And what specific area/state > can I reference for Geneaological records in that time period? Berlin was the capital of Prussia. The area would be Prussia/Brandenburg Chris

Just to add... capitol of Prussia after 1871. Before 1871, the capitol of Prussia was located in Ostpreussen (East Prussia).

I may be able to read the documents. I learned to read and write German in the old script as a kid. However, that is many years ago. But I probably could do it.

Lois, I very much doubt that Sudargen was ever part of East Prussia, particularly if it isn't listed in MEYERS ORTS, etc. Perhaps other researchers experienced in Russian jurisdictions can determine this more accurately. There are several places named Lasdehnen, but you probably want the one located nearest to Sudargen. That Lasdehnen was also known as "Haselberg" and it was located in Kreis Schlossberg (formerly known as Kreis Pillkallen) East Prussia. The FHL has Evangelical Church records for Haselberg for the period 1683 to 1835. I believe other villages are included in these records as well, but you can check this out for yourself. Look under "Haselberg, East Prussia" for film numbers, etc. You might try writing to a Homeland Organization for Kreis Schlossberg to see if they can tell you more about your area of Haselberg/Lasdehlen. Contact: Anschrift der Kreisgemeinschaft -- Kreis Schlossberg Rote-Kreuz-Strasse 6 D-21423 Winsen (Luhe) Germany The above is a volunteer organization. It may speed up response time if you include as much data about the family in question as possible. Also, its always polite to offer to pay any fees and copying charges or to offer a donation to the organization. I've not corresponded with this particular group, however, so don't know what information they have, but believe it's worth a try. Karen B.

Thanks for the spelling change to Stretzin. I belive this might be the location I need, as it is not far from Frieland and Linde the location I believe my grandmother called her homeland. The family name is Lubnow with various changes (Lubneow, Luebneau, etc.) in U.S. census records. Ruth J. Thompson ------------ You might be looking for "Stretzin" in Kreis Schlochau, West Prussia.

Thank you, Karen, and others for the great information on my quest to find my relatives HALBE and PIECK in East Prussia. You are a very helpful group to so many of us.

Have you tried FHC's? They have translation publications and very likely have volunteer translators. They certainly will be of some help to direct you in your search. Good luck!
