Hello, I had posted a note in regards to my maternal grandmother's line, the Reinhards. I have a letter that states that a William Christian Reinhard and his family (Susanna Josephine, Wilhelmine, Catherine Fredericke, Victor Adolf and Carl Wilhelm) came over to America from Germany in 1852. His first born son, William Christian (also) came over in 1841, I have the info on the William that came in 1841 but not his father, or mother (Maria Catharina Thomas) . I have found all of the siblings and know where they ended up....According to the letter Wiliiam Christian (Sr, if you will) ended up living in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. I show his children in New Berlin in the late 1800's. Thanks to birth and marriage records from an old church. ANY help in finding the parents would be greatly appreciated...according to the same letter, the grandfather of the above siblings was a Johann Chrisitan Reinhard born in 1730 in Dillingburg. I really could use some help....thank you very much! Sandy Sandy --------------------------------- Need Mail bonding? Go to the Yahoo! Mail Q&A for great tips from Yahoo! Answers users.

Hello, My ancestors came from the village of Oestrich (Östrich), which is located about 10 miles Southwest of Wiesbaden, and about 10 miles West (just a tad Northwest) of Mainz. The family was living here from the late 1600's to mid 1800's. I want to enter the location of Oestrich, Östrich into my genealogy program, but don't know how to phrase it. According to Wikipedia, Wiesbaden is in the State of Hessen, Germany According to Wikipedia, Mainz is in the State of Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany What should I enter? Was it formerly Hessen, and now Rhineland-Palatinate? What Kreis (county) would it be in then and now? Would it be Kreis Rheingau back then? Thanks so much, Ruth Pokorny

In my own tree files, I enter the what would have been appropriate during the time of immigration of my target individual(s). Unfortunately, each province has gone through a bevy of changes both in land area and names not including the government in control. This can be a mind bending experience to put it mildly. Very difficult at times!!

Hi Sandy, I think (maybe?) you should pursue your Reinhard family in the Nassau area. My Zeutzius family came from a village called Oestrich, near Mainz, near the Rhein. This area was also located in the "Dukedom of Nassau" and/or "Kingdom of Saxony". Anybody, please jump in and correct me if I am wrong, or if you have more to add. >From what I found on the Wikipedia website: "During the next centuries several states named Nassau emerged. One of those counties was Nassau-Dillenburg, from where the House of Orange-Nassau originated" Sandy, you mentioned in one of your messages: "grandfather of the above siblings was a Johann Chrisitan Reinhard born in 1730 in Dillingburg" So maybe Nassau-Dillenburg and the Dillingburg you mentioned were the same area? Hope this helps, Ruth http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duchy_of_Nassau Nassau (state) >From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from Duchy of Nassau) Jump to: navigation, search For other uses, see Nassau (disambiguation). Nassau was a German state within the Holy Roman Empire and later in the German Confederation. Its ruling dynasty, now extinct in male line, has been the House of Nassau. Nassau, originally a county, emerged on the lower Lahn river in what is today Rhineland-Palatinate. The town of Nassau was founded in 915. The castle of Nassau was built in 1125, and since 1160 the county was named after the town where the castle was located. In 1255 Nassau was divided for the first time. During the next centuries several states named Nassau emerged. One of those counties was Nassau-Dillenburg, from where the House of Orange-Nassau originated. Another was Nassau-Weilburg, whose reigning house now reigns in Luxembourg. Due to the extinction of most lines, Nassau became a united duchy again in 1806. In 1866 it was annexed by Prussia and incorporated into the Province of Hesse-Nassau. Today, all Houses of Nassau are extinct in their original male line.
