    1. [PRUSSIA-ROOTS] HARTMANN / MACKE / DIETRICH
    2. Joyce Bryant
    3. My first request on this mailing list, so I hope it goes OK. I have been researching the HARTMANN family for some time and wonder if there is anyone else researching it, interested or who would be willing to possible look up a few requests please. I'll give as much information as possible. HARTMANN Christian Hartmann, son of Henry and mother unknown, was born 1803, Braunswick, Germany. He married Carlena Dameier, *who was the daughter of Count Dameier, a French landowner, army officer and member of the French Aristocracy and Catherine PETERS. During the French Revolution (1789-1802) it has been stated that the mother of Count Dameier , was among the many members of the nobility who were beheaded . The family escaped to Germany, where they ceased using their titles in an attempt to secure their anomnymity . In Germany they used the name of PETERS, being the maiden name of Catherine PETERS. Carlena Dameier was born in Hanover, Germany in 1807. Christian HARTMANN married Carlene (Caroline) DAMEIER about 1830, at Othresen, Hanover, Germany. They had six children. Christian worked at his trade as a saddler and harness maker and as his sons grew up he taught them his trade. Herman as a harness maker and August a saddler. The family consisting of Christian, his wife Caroline, children August & Caroline and grandson Gustav Christopher, imigrated to Australia in 1863 on board the barque ³Sophie². *oral history passed down from generation to generation MACKE Postcards and newspapers were sent to ³Othfresen², Dundee, Australia by Ch. Macke to Hermann Hartmann. It is thought he must have been a close friend. One card was of a cemetery and headstone which has Christoph Macke on the headstone and it appears to have been sent by Gustav Macke. The cards were sent around the beginning of the 1900s. Any information would be most welcome. I would think that they must have lived at Othfresen, Hannover. DIETRICH About Fritz Dietrich He came to Australia through Liverpool, England on board the "Rutlandshire" in 1873. He was naturalized in 1875 and the Certificate says he was born in Hanover, Germany. In January, 1877 he married HENRIETTA MATHES in Highfields, near Toowoomba. She was 18, he was 32. She actually had a baby in December 1876. Henrietta came to Australia when she was about 3 1/2 yrs old with her family, from Neumark, Prussia. About Anton Dietrich his father Another thing discovered was that Fritz's father, ANTON DIEDRICH was also here in Australia. I only knew his name from Fritz's marriage certificate. Anton came to Australia in 1856 and lived and died in Dundee. He died in 1875 and is buried in the Dundee Cemetery. He is described as a shepherd and also owned some land at Severn which he left to Fritz. He was on the shipping list of the "Johann Caesar" - he was aged 39, from Hanover and seemed to be travelling alone although information from Glen Innes said he was married in Germany and his wife was Elizabeth Krinner. On the other hand, on Fritz's marriage certificate he says hisfather was Anton Diedrichs and his mother was Elizabeth Jerome. Thanking you, Joyce Bryant from Australia

    1. [PRUSSIA-ROOTS] Gallus, Balske, Kramke, Ronning
    2. Geoffrey Gallus
    3. I have been researching my family history for a number of years. My great grandparents, Wilhelm Adolph and Pauline Gottliebe (Sprotte) Gallus married in Sommerfeld, Prussia in October 1845. They left Hamburg, under the name of Padel for some reason, aboard the Dockenhuden in December 1848, arrived Melbourne, Australia in April 1849. While I can find records of Gallus' in Sommerfeld through the 19th century I cannot find any record of my family nor any link with any other family of Gallus'. Recently, in Familysearch, I came across Wilhelm Gallus, b. 1825, Sommerfeld, married Louise Balske, b. 1827, Sommerfeld. Wilhelm & Louise had a son Wilhelm, b. 1851 Sommerfeld who married Caroline Ronning, b. 1868, Sommerfeld. Her parents were Gottfried and Marie (Kramke). It would seem very likely that these Gallus families would be related and I wonder if anyone has done any research into any of these families. With all fingers crossed, Geoff Gallus

    3. G'day Morgan, It would greatly help your quest if you gave some detail, such as the year, and what records you have that say they came from Berlin, but sailed from Rotterdam. Was it before or after the construction of railways (mid 19th century)? Is Rotterdam listed as the last port of call in Europe or the only one in the records you've seen? Some ships sailed from Hamburg and then made other calls sailing down the Channel, at places such as Southampton, Cherbourg, Rotterdam etc. As I said, a bit of extra detail in question would greatly help in providing an informative response.

    2. Hi Morgan - I can identify with those Prussians who "don't want to be found", since I've been hunting one line forever! But I really think they are just sitting there grinning at all your efforts, waiting for you to find that one little key that will open the door to a dozen generations! They are Prussian, after all! Maybe it will help to go back over your documentation, looking for anything (preferably primary sources) in writing, naturalizations, military service, wills, even something like recipes, photographs (styles of clothing) notations in local histories, schools, and especially fraternal organizations, celebrations and centennials and whatever years for churches, towns, all sorts of groups; businesses, directories, local newspapers, especially the German language ones until WW I. Stuff that isn't on line yet. Scour all the places in the U.S. where they lived. You can also write out the names and dates you are sure about on this list, (and put one of them on the subject line, so people can find you later in the archives). There are many, many histories of Prussia and Germany and the world and the US - old ones, ancient ones, new ones, each one is enlightening. And look for Schmitt in its other spellings in Prussia. Schmidt, Schmid, Smid, Smits, Schmitz., DeSmet and many more Perhaps Schmidtke - the -ke ending is a diminutive and is prevalent along the northern seas. According to Hanks & Hodges' A Dictionary of Surnames. Schmitt is a Flemish spelling. There are also outfits which will sell you the "complete Schmitt Family History" for $29.95 and are 100% scams. The same goes for "Family Crests". And I hope you do read all those extensive and extremely knowledgeable papers written by Dr. Watson and Mr. Jensen. They will keep you off the streets for at least a month - and you will see light bulbs going off all the time - guaranteed! They are fluent in the language, culture, genealogy, computerese, and quirks. I learn from them all the time. As far as what route your people may have traveled to Rotterdam, you can see on a map that is the port at the mouth of the Rhine - which of course does not go anywhere near Berlin, but perhaps was the last leg of a trip. Depends on the time frame and how much money they had - were there trains in place then? Was it summertime (more apt to travel by horsecart, or horseback, or walking).

    1. [PRUSSIA-ROOTS] Which name appears in records
    2. Since the name was given at baptism, all the names were written in that record. There might be more than 3. I have ancestors who had four, even in this country. One used his fourth name as the call name and even legal name.   One simple dropped the fourth name and it was never seen again.   If the name the person used in Germany was hard for American tongues to say, or sounded strange, they would change their call name after they were in America awhile. So German records would have one name, and American records the other name.   And some people probably just decided they liked one name better than the other, just as people have always done and still do.

    1. Re: [PRUSSIA-ROOTS] PRUSSIA-ROOTS Digest, Vol 4, Issue 154 Naming Pattern in ...
    2. In many, many years of doing research for Germanic people, and a fascination with names, I agree with the speaker at LDS, Veronica, especially if that was Larry O. Jensen - YES! There were numerous naming patterns, varying from place to place, and these evolved along with everything else. The Koseform or Kosename (in French, the 'dit' name, in Latin "dictus", that one usually Catholic) are often the (second, third, or fourth - or "call") names carried across the ocean alone, while what we call first names, their honorific name, after a g-father, father, etc. or a Saint or a feast day or a sign of the zodiac or in ancient times, the bold, the strong, the courageous, means we may be hunting through all those films for Georg when we need to be hunting for Joh. Georg. And I'm not expert at those old BMD records, but the only underlining I've ever seen in 30 years is for the surnames. It does help enormously to learn as much of the language, the varieties of Gothic fraktur, and that Sütterlin (and other) script and abbreviations as possible. How to get around the scribbles and inkblots and blackened copies is the really hard part! We all know we cannot rely on transcribers in any database. If any of you have not yet come across Mr. Jensen's 83 pages on familysearch.org, under help - G for Germany, scroll down to his Handbook. You can read it or print it out - it's free. He and Dr. Don Watson (_http://members.cox.net/hessen/_ (http://members.cox.net/hessen/) (also free, and enormous)- all of Germany - are the experts of the experts, very nice guys, and both have a sense of humor - and humanity.

I should have thought to ask this earlier. When you did have Germans that followed naming patterns, had that "Saint" first name and then the middle was the name they were called by, when it came to BMD records, how were their names written? Did BMD records list the person by both names or by the name they were called?

    3. Morgan, Bruce GEIBEL covers this in his book "History of the GEIBEL Families." B, M, D records he found in St. Georges Church in Limburg are for each individual. Bruce said a name like "Johannes" can be the 1st name for every boy in a family, followed by the name they were called, like George or Peter. "Johannes George" for 1st son, "Johannes Peter" for 2nd son, etc. The author explains that the middle names (the name the person was known by) followed their own specific naming pattern- 1st son named after father's father, 2nd son named after father, 3rd son named after mother's father. This is not only interesting, but I have found it potentially useful in finding who the Grandparents were of a large family.- Livy On Sun, Jul 26, 2009 at 10:11 PM, Morgan Cole <[email protected]> wrote: > > > I was reading an article on naming patterns that some Germans followed.
