Janiece; My father applied for naturalization in 1937 and his records were found in the county courthouse. The petition for naturalization shows his last foreign residence, date of immigration and the name of the ship he came on. The actual cert. of natur. really doesn't give much information. This is in a small town in Kansas, so don't know how the larger cities handle it. Hope this helps.

My husband and I have been over a couple of times. We flew into Hamburg (changed planes in Amsterdam.) We were very comfortable driving a car there. The roads are very good. I agree with the others - there are lots of good accommodations at reasonable prices. We've stayed in Gasthouses and Ferienvonungs (vacation apartments). The latter give you the ability to do your own cooking if you choose. We were there the last time about the second week of May and it was still quite cool and cloudy, but not at all uncomfortable. Have a great trip. Fran Bumann

Bob and Linda........My wife and I (she died 6 years ago)...went to Germany 8 times for a month each time in the 80's. Our oldest daughter has lived in Germany for the past 28 years....she teaches school on an army base.....currently at Heidelberg.....about ready to retire. Edna and I used to traipse around looking for our ancestor's records....mine in West Prussia and Schleswig-Holstein....hers in Bavaria....and in upper S/H and lower Denmark. We used rail pass.....walked or used taxis wherever we stopped. If you go to Frankfurt....and take a train up to Hamburg.....and another train to Meldorf it's a full day's trip. We changed the procedure a couple times and flew into Copenhagen....a very interesting city....then took the train (which goes part of the way on the ferry) over to a spot whose name slips my mind at the moment.....took the train to Tonder....spent the night in a lovely hotel on the edge of town......then crossed the border to Niebull. Sylt is just south of there. and then later a train down to Heide and Meldorf....& eventually over to Hamburg. In Niebull we got off the rain....walked up a couple blocks....saw a sign in a window "Zimmer Frei"....=vacant room. Actually they had converted their garage into a nice room where we spent the night.....had a great breakfast (part of the boom bill).....conversed with them freely via their 10 year old daughter who spoke passable English. We went to Sylt in July......the Germans wear bathing suits....but don't go in the water....the North Sea is COLD.....they sit in small beach tents...open to the sun....but sheltering them from the chilly breeze. Don't leave your base without an umbrella.....showers are frequent in Germany. S/H doesn't see a lot of American tourists.....at least they didn't in the 80's....but we found everyone friendly....and never had a problem finding a place to stay even tho we arrived at odd hours. In Heide there's a nice hotel right across from the RR station. We checked in there one afternoon & the Mayor and city water commissioner invited us to dinner. You'll love the tiny shrimp they serve up there....& all fish is good. My grandmother was born in Hassenbuttel....a wide spot in the road just south of Wesselburen. I have a cousin in Heide. I had an aunt that lived south of Meldorf before coming to the States....name was Siercks. My grandmother was a Schoolmann.....and I have Geil cousins.....and Dau cousins that lived in that area. We never bothered with a car.....Eurorailpass enabled us to get on and off trains at will....the trains were great....they run on schedule....and often. And we covered great distances....so we preferred to relax on the trains.....and the food on the trains was good. The dollar is down relative to the mark....my advice is don't waste your money at big name hotels.....live with the natives.....you'll love it. Normally warm weather hasn't arrived in April or May.....& showers are frequent....carry an umbrella....wear an extra sweater....and enjoy it. John jdbentz@prodigy.net

Hello: My wife & I are planning a trip to S-H (Meldorf and Keitum,Sylt) in 2005 & we have a few questions about traveling in that area. #1 In the springtime, what are the better times to go as to (a) weather, (b) beauty of things growing or blooming and (c) accomadations. April or May. #2 How do you best visit these areas after arriving from the airport...go by train? rent a car at the airport ? use a combination of train to towns & then rent car ? are there local taxi services ? go by bus ? #3 Lodging...are there moderate priced B&B's in the area? how do you you know what B&B's are available ?

Go to the NARA web site: http://www.archives.gov/research_room/genealogy/ Find the regional facility nearest to where your father lived. Email or write to that NARA branch and ask them to look up your father in the index and if found make a copy of the certificate and send it to you. The main Archive in Washington, D.C. has most of the naturalization certificates on microfilm but they have few of the microfilmed indices.

Tanya, Joseph Franklin, a lawyer in Galveston, TX in the 1800s wrote a book Early Texas Death and Legal Records from Joseph Franklin's Diary and John Griffin's Sexton Records. In this book, p.79, I found this reference-- July 7/80-Lausen, C. Mrs., wife of H. J. Lausen, the blacksmith, died at Galveston. Maybe this is a connection to your family. Beverly in Galveston

Hi! I am looking for further information on the family of Dorothea Maria Henriette SONN who was born abt.1831 in Schleswig. She may have had a brother, Peter, and a sister named Wilhelmina and her parents may have been Mathew and Mary SONN, both of whom were born in Denmark. Mathew was born about 1804 and his wife, Mary, was born about 1802. She immigrated to Texas, as did Peter and Wilhelmina, sometime in the 1850s. Mathew and Mary SONN also immigrated to Texas, although I am not sure at what point. I believe it was later than the 1850s, though. I am also looking further details on Christian Heinrich LAUSEN who was b. abt. 1823 in Schleswig, Schleswig-Holstein. I have no idea of who his parents may have been or about any brothers or sisters, either. He immigrated in 1857 on the Hampden and settled in Galveston, TX, where he lived until his death in 1891. If you have any further information on either or both of the above individuals and/or their families, please, please get in touch! Sincerely, Tanya Austin, TX

Hi, Folks! I am looking for further information on Mathew and Mary Sonn, both of whom were born in Denmark. Mathew was born about 1804 and his wife, Mary, was born about 1802. Unfortunately, at this point, that is all I know about the location of their births. I am not completely certain, but highly suspect that they had a girl named Dorothea Maria Henriette Sonn. If that is indeed their daughter, she was born about 1831 in Schleswig. They may also have had a son, Peter, and possibly another daughter named Wilhelmina. If you have any suggestions for further research or think you may have more information on these people, I would love to hear from you! Thanks! Tanya Kloesel

Does anyone have access to the 1860 census for the church parish town of Nordhastedt and could give me the information on the name Rohwedder. I have been told there are two families listed by that name. I already have the Rohwedder family from the town of Oesterwohld. Thanks for any help you can give me. Kathie Groll
