Hi all Thank you to those who have answered my query. I shall check up on your suggestions. The name DUX is pronounced like Ducks, here in Australia, but I believe it is different-it was just anglicized when the name left Prussia ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Message: 1 Date: Wed, 29 Apr 2009 22:14:24 +1000 From: "EarlaAngell" <[email protected]> Subject: [PRUSSIA-ROOTS] looking for help with DUX family in Borkendorf West Prussia To: <[email protected]> Message-ID: <[email protected]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Hello all -I am new to the list This query is because I do not know how to start with this family . The area (in Poland ? ) is new to me so I would appreciate any help as to the states these towns were /are in or is there any other information that may point me in the direction in finding records in the LDS .

My brick wall is DEAO, from Germany, and family lore has it that it used to have an "X" on it somewhere. We say DEE'O; some say DAY'O. Thanks - and good luck to you.

Remember to look under all the names, Carl, Johan, Gottfried...records do not always show the name we think will be used. Also, check the years a couple before and after when you think they immigrated. I have found all kinds of dates in the US records and?none of them are ever exactly the same.? I think as time went on the exact date they arrived wasn't so important.

I found this in my Drafts folder and realized I had never sent it. Please forgive me. I am very grateful for your help, truly. Thank you very much indeed. This confirms another bit of information I had received some time ago without a source. I have been unable to find any church records whatsoever in America for this family so I could not even narrow my search to Protestant or Catholic. The woman he married in New York was from Stargard, which I understand is now in Poland, but their marriage record and the birth of their daughter in New York have not yet turned up in any of my searches. I do find the bride's father in several records, and he was careful to identify his native village as Stargard. I surely wish my other ancestors were as considerate.:-) Best regards, Doris > > Date: Fri, 24 Apr 2009 10:27:07 -0500 > From: "Karl Roussin" <[email protected]> > Subject: Re: [PRUSSIA-ROOTS] PRUSSIA-ROOTS Digest, Vol 4, Issue 97 > To: <[email protected]> > Message-ID: <[email protected]> > Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed; charset="iso-8859-1"; > reply-type=original > > Doris > Following from the IGI , is a record of a Henry W.
