I wondered about Freiherr but didn't look it up - and you did - good job! That is often true of someone with so many given names - you might look in Deutschesfamilienarchiv - lineages. Maureen that book does not seem to be available here in Sydney either in the state library or the University library - darn it Patricia" Hello, Here's a starter article on German nobility: http://worldroots.com/brigitte/royal/germannobility.htm This article delves into "major questions about the Mediatized Houses": http://members.aol.com/eurostamm/mediatize.html Paul Theroff's Royal Genealogy Site (with a link to his online Gotha): Worldroots Royalty pages (not only a LOT of gemstone-encrusted surnames, but lottsa links, too): http://worldroots.com/ Remember, not all nobility was wealthy and there are errors in several of those Royalty in America books. And if you happen to come across any noble/royal "Ewert", let me know ASAP - the cousin I just met online while doing genealogy is convinced that we are descendants of the 'great washed'. Have fun with it!
