Dear Group: Just 4 more days before the Giekau,Holstein-Mineola, Iowa Family History Fair. First I would like to thank everyone that has helped me with this project, I would like to name names but sure as the dickens I would forget someone. Several German researchers have sent information, maps and census records and history of the area and Schleswig/Holstein. Many family members have sent family charts of their family surname and descendancy charts. To date 155 have pre-registered and who knows how many are just going to show up without registration. If someone wants to send me an E-mail about your family that you are researching from either the Giekau area or Schleswig/Holstein that involves one of these family names I will put it on the board and on the family table for all to see. The names are: Bichel, Carstens, Dorhman, Dorman(n), Dose, Doose, Dohse, Ehlers, Giese, Hammer, Hansen, Jurgens (was Jurgensen), Kay, Kahl, Kruse, Lamp, Lau, Loof, Luth, Matthiensen, Möller(Miller), Müller,Nagel,Nipp, Rohrberg, Roenfeld, Roenfeldt, Scheel, Schoening, Schroeder, Schutt, Steffens, Strohbehn, Stumpf, Thiering, Vohs, Voss, Wiese,Wolf,Wulf. There may be more but this is what we have so far with a Giekau, Mineola connection. There will be two sections for display one with each of the above families with a table for pictures, artifacts and genealogy material, the other part will be tables for the Friends and Neighbors of Giekau families to display just genealogy information. This table could have information on it from Selent Church District, Lutjenburg Church District, and the Probstei area. If you want to have something on one of the tables it is not to late. Send it to me and I can print it off. Thank you again for all your help, Gary Schoening 204 Harolds Drive Glenwood, Iowa 51534

english text below. Hallo in die Runde, mich interessiert nach Erhalt von Kopien aus dem LAS zu einem Ehevergleich von 1809 zwischen dem Hufner Heerde in Braak und seiner 2. Frau aus Farmsen folgende Frage: Wer bestimmte für die Frau (damals 22 J., 1. Eheschließung) und nach welchen Kriterien die Vormünder bei der Abfassung des Ehevergleichs? Die Vormünder kamen in diesem Fall, wie die Ehefrau, beide aus Farmsen. Gleiche Frage gilt aber auch für die Vormünder ihres Stiefsohnes (Sohn des Ehemannes aus 1. Ehe). Von diesen kam einer aus Schönningstedt und der andere ist der Bruder des Ehemannes aus dem Dorf Braak. Überhaupt ist mir neulich beim Blättern in den Protokollen öfter aufgefallen, daß die Frauen häufig einen Vormund oder Curator mithatten, wenn es um Verträge ging. Was hatte so ein Mensch zu tun? Gruß Joachim Hi folks, please forgive me my bad english, but I just got some copies from the Schleswig-Holstein Archieve in Schleswig concerning an marriage contract in 1809 between the Hufner HEERDE in Braack (Amt Reinbek/ southern part of Holstein) and his 2. wife who came from Farmsen (nowadays part of Hamburg). and I want to learn what were the rules for someone to take the guardianship for the bride. Who 'selected' why whom? (The bride and the two guardians came from Farmsen, but I couldn't see a relationship) Same question: who choosed the guardians of her stepson (son of the actual groom). One was the brother of the groom and came also from Braak and again no relationship with the 2nd, who came from a village some Kilometers away. What were the duties of the "Curator" or guardian? regards Joachim -- Joachim Lietz +++ D - 24148 Kiel looking for HEERDE, OHLEN and ELLERBROCK from southern Holstein and BEUCHE, SPRINGER and PUTZING in Sachsen-Anhalt

Susan, I sense you may not have gone to the LDS online info. All three names are there in abundance, though that still may not mean the specific ones you are researching are there.

The name Seifert is fairly common in the Lander of Saxony (from whence my father-in-law Herbert Seifert came) is believed by some to be associated with mining. Seifen means to wash and Seife means soap . One way to get some insight into where a family arose is to examine the phone listings for the name. You can do this on the net. The more unique the name the better but even with Seifert you may find a trend for a particualr locality in Germany. This is somewhat akin to using your fingers for walking the yellow pages. In a few cases the names of our ancestors were so unique that they left no one behind, e.g. Ankesheil) . Be assured this is not the case with Seifert. Another approach is to examine a good gazzeteer and look for place names which incorporate a surname. I do not recall any hits for Seifert using that method. The name Brink is very common in place names along a line running from Osnabruck to Hannover and unusual much removed. Brinkhoff fits the pattern and I seem to recall there is such a geographical designation although it has been 3-4 years since I did the distribution analysis.

I have reached the proverbial brick wall. Looking for any information on: Minnie BRINKHOFF (possibly Wilhelmine) born about 1859. She came to the US between 1870 and 1880. She married John Michael DITTMEYER in Lincoln, Nebraska in 1881 and they had a child born abt 1882 named Anton or Charles DITTMEYER (He later took the names PIEPER). In 1884 she married Charles PIEPER (My g-grandfather) in Lincoln and moved to Omaha. She died in a fire in their home in 1893 and there are no other records of her. Her burial records have no information. One marriage certificate shows her parents listed as Henry BRINKHOFF and Charlotte SEIFERT. Her obituary said she had a sister in Lincoln, a Mrs. Ehrlich. Charles PIEPER was from Massow, Prussia. Family stories indicated the ancestors were from Schleswig-Holstein and I wonder if Minnie was the one from the area. Anyone have any clues? No clues on older census records (1885 Nebraska) or church records found. Any help greatly appreciated. Susan Leighton

Greetings: I am searching for any information on my ggrandfather, Hermann von SPREKELSEN or von SPRECKELSEN from Hamburg. Unknown date of birth. Occupation: mariner. Appointed to H.J. Perlbach &Co. shipping lines in Hamburg, 1887. Appointed Master of ship "Minerva" in 1897. Was Married to TROST, unknown 1st name. Had at least one child in 1874. Emilie my grandmother. Emilie immigrated to America 1894. Ellis Island record date August 13, 1894. Ship "Rugia" Estimated departure date in Hamgurg, July 29, 1894. Have checked LDS records with no results. Cursory search of Hamburg Emigration Records also produced no results. Any help or direction would be appreciated. Thanking you in advance Ron Schmid

Hi! I have a little more info now on my Heesch line. They said on the manifest for the ship coming over that they were from Friedrichskoog in Suder Dithmarschen. Steffen Heesch married Anna Marten July 1843 in Ecklak, Suder Dithmarschen, Holstein, Germany. I think he was from Burg and she was from Wilster. Their daughter Maria said she was born in "Friedens the Seventh" on October 10, 1844. Is that a city? My great grandpa Claus was born February 26, 1848, Catharina around 1851 and then a brother was mentioned once - Peter - to be born around 1844 not sure if it was earlier or later. This family has been so difficult to trace! Any info you can give me would be greatly appreciated though.

I am having a terrible time finding my father-in-law's ancestors supposedly from Schleswig-Holstein. My father-in-law was Franz Brauns, born in Schonberg-on-Strand in January of 1898. His father was Peter August Andreas Brauns, born July 27, 1875, supposedly Schleswig-Holstein. Peter's father was Julius Ernst Andreas Brauns, unknown birthdate, but he married a Louise Schneekloth on November 7, 1874 in Schleswig Holstein. Louise Schneekloth was from Schleswig-Holstein also. How do I go about finding where Peter and Julius were from and who Julius's parents were? Thanks for any help.
