Hello Sally, the church books from Neidenburg (and the filmed microfiches) are in the Evangelisches Zentralarchiv Berlin. Christenings are available up to 1827. After this time there is a great loss up to 1935. So it is possible that the entry for your Johann Eduard Neumann could be found in the available microfiches. Marriages are only available up to 1810, and then 1915-1945; death entries up to 1808, and from 1915 to 1944. It exists a register for christenings from 1800-1899, but only this register. So it is possible that Neumann is in this register, but one cannot look up the real entries (only up to 1827). I could try to find the birth/christening of Johann Eduard Neumann, if you are interested.

My g-g-grandfather, Johan Eduard Neumann, was born between 1823 and 1826 in Neidenburg (now Nidzica), Province of Olsztyn, East Prussia (now Poland). His 1891 obituary (for "John E. Neumann") in Galesburg, Illinois provides his birth place, with his age of 65. His obituary also said he was a blacksmith early in his life. Eduard (as he was always called) moved from Neidenburg (Nidzica) to Dirschau (now Tczew) in West Prussia sometime before 25 Aug 1850, where he married Josefine (or Josephine) Maruszewska on that date. Dirschau (Tczew) is about 20 miles south of Danzig (now Gdansk). I found microfilmed church records for Dirschau many years ago, in which I found his marriage, christenings of his children, Josefine's christening, and even a death record for Josefine's father (Johann Marzewski). The surname Maruszewski/Marzewski is spelled various ways in records. However, I did not find any church records for Neidenburg, East Prussia. Did I miss finding church records, or is there another source of records where I could look? Perhaps new records have been released? I do not know anything about Eduard's parents or siblings. He might have moved with his parents from Neidenburg to Dirschau, or maybe he moved there as an adult. Several Neumann families already lived in Dirschau in the 1700's and 1800's. Possibly some of them were relatives of Eduard's family. However, Neumann is a fairly common name. (Eduard's daughter, Valeria Neumann, my great-grandmother married a man in Galesburg named Josef Neumann, who had come from Bohemia a year after her immigration. They had the same surname!) Eduard and Josefine and their children moved from Dirschau to Berlin, Germany between April 1862 (when Valeria was christened in Dirschau) and April 1876, when Valeria took her First Communion in St. Hedwig's Catholic Church. (My mother had saved an old, tattered prayer book that contained Valeria's certificate of Communion.) I know nothing about the years they lived in Berlin, but Valeria considered Berlin her home. She and Josef Neumann raised my mother in Galesburg. Then Valeria had lived with my family before she died in 1940. I remember my mother weeping when Berlin was bombed in World War II, though my brother was serving in the U.S. Army Air Corps. Eduard, Josefine, and two of his children came to New York on the ship "City of Montreal" in July 1881. The family was listed as Swedish because ditto marks were used from the top of the page. Most people on that ship were from Sweden. (My family group was not listed in any ship passenger index.) Eduard was called an "engineer" in Galesburg, where he worked for a company that made machinery. His obituary stated that Johann Eduard Neumann had several brothers and sisters living in Germany. I would love to find their descendants. Any advice would be very much appreciated. Sally Ivy, Bettendorf, Iowa

G'day everyone I have recently received oral information that a third cousin is supposed to have died in the Battle of Stalingrad which lasted from August 1942 to February 1943.

Does anyone know of any sources for information on German World war II casualties, and in particular for the Battle of Stalingrad? Thanks David Armstrong Maylands, Western Australia

Hi Anne, Are these certificates from Australia, Germany, or both? They certainly give you a great starting point, despite any potential errors. How early do they date back to? Take a look here if you wish to be convinced of the earlier spelling for Prenzlau: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prenzlau I think what looks like Benzlow is more than likely also Prenzlow. The Mormons have filmed records for Gerswalde, but only back to 1845. Searching Prenzlau records can be time consuming as there were several parishes. You may have the church named on some of the records in your possession? Bronwyn.

Hello, I am looking for records/information for the following who possibly came from Gluckstadt, Preussen . Emil David Engelbrecht born 21-04-1850, Georg Jacob Engelbrecht, born 12-07-1817 and possibly the father of Emil David, Jacob Wilhelm Engelbrecht, born circa1778 and possibly the father of Georg Jacob and grandfather of Emil David, Margaretha Engelbrecht, the spouse of Jacob Wilhelm. Emil David is said to have been from Hamburg though that may have simply been his port of departure as I can find no records of him in any Hamburg archive. There seem to be many Engelbrechts in the Gluckstadt/Borsfleth area but accessing any archive/church records is proving most difficult! Hoping someone can help me on this Kindest regards Frederick

Hello Bronwyn & List, Thanking you very much for answering my email again. Have been going through some of the certificates that I have got. Gerswalde, Uckermark is on my Great Grandmother Louisa Marie Kuhlow Jungnickel Marriage and Death Certificates. On another 2 certificates both are Birth Certificates Grandfather, has got Prenzlow and the other Great Aunt has Benzlow Looks like to me there are some errors on the certificates. Is Prenzlau the same spelling of Prenzlow? Thanking you Anne

Frederick In the FHL catalog film # 41035 is noted as having records of the town of Gluckstadt. The film goes from 1628 to 1835. Emil D. Engelbrecht would not be in that film , however Georg , and Jacob may be in the film. Check out that film and view it at the LDS library.

Hello List, I am looking for information about the Kolpack family. There are many branches of Kolpacks in the US and Germany. The Kolpack family originated in the Kreis Rosenburg villages of Jacobau, Riesenkirsch, Rasenfeld and attended the lutheran church in Gross Bellschwitz. Most of the Kolpacks that came to the US left West Prussia in the 1870-1885 period. How can we determine the relationships between the branches of the family? Here in the US we could use census records. What could we look at to figure out how all these branches are connected? Any help you could give us would be appreciated. Thanks, Jeffrey Kolpack

Hi Anne, I was wondering where you found the information about Gerswalde,Uckermark? The Hamburg Passenger list gives Louisa's place of residence as Prenzlau - I've not found any other references to European locations. If you consider transcriber errors and the like there could be numerous ways to spell Kuhlow. Do you know whether Martha Kuhlow who arrives in Queensland in 1891 is related to Louisa? Have you attempted to trace the Jungnickels (Young/Yungnickels) back to Europe? Bronwyn.
