Hi there, I am looking for information about the places as well as the people, Rather than try to list them in a geneological format I will just list the names, dob and place of birth of the direct ancestors. I will not list the children to make this shorter. If you have possible links I can check the rest of the names. BENDER Sybilla Sophia - possible wife of Adoni Boes BOES Adam b 15 Oct 1824 - Koln, Rheinland, Germany these are twins and the latter is the most likely the correct birthplace. Michael (twins) b 15 Oct 1824 - Gohr, Kries Crefeld Rhine Prussia FREYENBERG Marie Catherine b apx 1779 FUSSER Gertrud apx 1780 - ROSELLEN - ROSELLA Anna Gertrude b 21 Dec 1832 - Lank, Kries Crefeld Rhine Prussia Herman b 19 Oct 1799 - Ramrath, Kn, Rheinland Wilhelm b apx 1877 SCHOENEN Catherine b apx 1800 - Ramrath, Kn, Rheinland Heinrich b apx 1778 Adoni - possible father PLACES OF INTEREST Gohr, Kries Crefeld Rhine Prussia Lank, Kries Crefeld Rhine Prussia Are these places updated names for places that were Prussia at the time? Koln, Rheinland, Germany Ramrath, Kn, Rheinland --- ~~C It's realy very simple, your life is now.

There are many, many, many FHC in Georgia. I believe I counted over 40. Have you looked on the site www.familysearch.org? There is a link there which will allow you to search for you closest FHC.

I'm having a hard time with this. My great great grandfather Albert Leonard Zuromski is from West Prussia. I know there were family in the Brusy area as well but I know from my maiden surname that the family originated in Zuromin. I don't have Albert's father's name nor do I know the surname for Albert's wife Anna, but they both came from the same area...I've basically hit a brick wall. I have their census info and photos, and know that they settled in Baltimore, but for immigration and naturalization, I have yet to locate them, but am on the hunt. I am in definite need of help.

On what basis would you object to this price increase? I presume that NARA has calculated that they are losing money on each pension file retrieved and copied. Keep in mind that most German archives charge 1 Euro per page plus a handling fee. I am not necessarily for the price increase but on the other hand I believe that fees for special government services must cover the cost of providing special services requested by individuals. - Michael On Mar 1, 2007, at 7:15 PM, prussia-roots-request@rootsweb.com wrote: > Message: 6 > Date: Thu, 1 Mar 2007 15:26:07 -0800 (PST) > From: ~~C <c_lion@purringfox.com> > Subject: [PRUSSIA-ROOTS] Records price may raise from 37.00 to 125.00 > To: prussia-roots@rootsweb.com > Message-ID: <722369.31890.qm@web32615.mail.mud.yahoo.com> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 > > I can see a raise in prices, but from $37.00 to $125.00? > > On the NARA pension records price increase from $37 to $125, comments > to the proposed rule may be posted online by April 27, 2007. > Go to: http://www.regulations.gov > In the search box, type "NARA Reproduction Fees."

A simple Google search revealed much different data. Ferdinand Lukas Schubert was born in and lived in Austria (same as brother Franz Peter Schubert), not Prussia. His wife's name was Anna Maria Schülle, not Johanna Von Weipking. Additionally, they had no children after 1831 (Anna died in 1831) and had no child whose name is close to "John Henry Schubert." See the following link (the second Family Group on the page) . . . http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/franzschubert/tree/gp50.htm While virtually nothing on-line can be used as proof of relationship for genealogy, on-line data is good for clues. However, in this case the clues lead to the conclusion that you have received poor information. I suggest you start researching your roots by working from the known to the unknown, one generation at a time using primary evidence. Locales of European origins are almost always found in the records of the immigrant's new country. It's a tremendous long shot to look for origins in the old country without this information. Good luck, LGO

Hi Wes, > They departed from Southampton, Bremen, Germany... no, shurely not! They may have started in Bremen (which is in Germany) and went VIA Southampton (which is in Great Britain) to NY. What about the american atlases? No Old Europe in there? Strange. -- Mit freundlichen Grüßen / kind regards Detlef Ziemann Meine Ahnen und ich / my ancestors and me: http://www.dziemann.de

Hello everyone I am looking for the town where my ancestor John Henry Schubert, a.k.a. Henry Schubert, was born. He was born in June 1835. He came to America and worked for a few years, then he returned to Prussia to get married. After he was married he and his wife Sidona Anna (Dich) Schubert came back to America. They departed from Southampton, Bremen, Germany and arrived in New York, New York on June 5, 1867. They then traveled to Plumas County, California where they made their home. John Henry Schubert was the son of Ferdinand Lukas Schubert (the brother of the famous composer Franz Peter Schubert) and Johanna Von Weipking. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your help. Wes _________________________________________________________________ Rates near 39yr lows! $430K Loan for $1,399/mo - Paying Too Much?

Arnold You may already be aware of this but just in case. The FHL film 1496970 has parish register transcripts of births, marriages and deaths for Battrow, Westpreussen, Germany; now Batorowo, Koszalin, Poland; an affiliate of Grunau parish --- Kirchenbuchduplikat, 1798-1874. I have the film on indefnite loan and if you'd like I could see if the marriage in 1844 is there before you order the film?

The tram goes out to the archives which are located in a new building in a new shopping complex. Nice facilites and nice people BUT the Mormons have microfilms almost every churchbook there. In fact, you dont view the church books - but instead look at the microfilms. They do have regular books that are not micorofilmed that are interesting. However, the DDB (German National Library) in Leipzig has a much better selection. Its a wonderful library. But like many european libraries you do not have direct access to the DDB books. but must order them for delivery to your desk several hours later. The Univeristy of Leipzig library is very good too but only on materials about Saxony - not about West Prussia. If you are visiting Battrow with a guide, then consider going to the Catholic Archives in Koslin. There are a few more Battrow church book records there. But you need Polish language and someone who knows the archives to make use of it. I dont know about Berlin. Perhaps someone on this list knows if there are unfilmed records there .

I can see a raise in prices, but from $37.00 to $125.00? On the NARA pension records price increase from $37 to $125, comments to the proposed rule may be posted online by April 27, 2007. Go to: http://www.regulations.gov In the search box, type "NARA Reproduction Fees." The Proposed Rules and the Rules will come up. You can click on the text to read them. Then click on the yellow emblem by the first line - Proposed Rules - and fill out your name, zip code, etc., and make your comment. I would think legislators should be contacted also. Perhaps NGS/FGS will be leading an effort. Thanks. Tom Neel, OGS Library Director --- ~~C It's realy very simple, your life is now.

I will tell you how I found my great grandparents as they were the first generation in my family to come to the US. On my great grandfather I went to the area where they settled which was Clayton County, IA. I talked to people in the area and was told many Germans who settle there came from Eldena, Mecklenburg, Germany. That was my first hint. Join the Rootsweb list for the area they settled in. You would be surprised how much people know even today. On my great grandmother it was much more difficult. Both had very common surnames so I was not confident I was ever going to find them. My ggrandfather was Meyer and my ggrandmother was Wille. I began looking in Castle Gardens and Ellis Island for their immigration records and found them in Castle Gardens - castlegardens.org. This tells what port they left, what ship they came on and what the date was they landed in the US. My great grandparents were on the same ship but fortunately not married yet. Somewhere I heard that Germans who came around 1872 usually went to Chicago, IL. I knew they were Lutheran so I joined the Cook Co. message board and began to ask questions. There I found out the Lutheran Church downtown had been destroyed in a fire but could contact the Concordia Historical Society in St. Louis for the marriage information. On the marriage information it showed the town each was born in Germany. Many people who came from Prussia left the port of Hamburg. You can go into hamburg.de and pay them to look for your ancestors. On the manifest it will tell the town they came from. I know this costs money but it took me appox 5 years to find my great grandparent's place of orgin so the money might be well worth it to you. Email the Hamburg site (hamburg.de) and ask how much it would cost you. The more you know - the less it costs. Join geneanet.org to see what area in Germany your surnames came from. This is a site similar to Rootsweb in the US. Maybe you will find someone who can help you there if your surname is not common. The National Archives also has ship manifest records if you live close to one. Of course you would need to know when they came to the US. Another thing is it was common for Germans to change the spelling of their last name. My ggrandfather was born Meyer and changed it to Meier around 1905. At first I was only looking for Meier's. Keep an open mind when you are looking for your ancestors. Submit your GEDCOM to Rootsweb and Geneanet. I have had several ancestors living in Norway find me that way. Most people in Europe speak English as it is a second language in school. They are very nice people and will help you.
