Hi Listers, Is there SKS out there with access to the GERMANS TO AMERICA volumes who could do a lookup for me on Frederick PETERS, probably born in 1855, Germany? He arrived in USA sometime between 1865 and 1871, traveling with at least one of his parents (if not both), and probably with some siblings as well. Parents names are Alfred and Lillian PETERS. They would have come into the Port of New York. Any and all information would be helpful regarding the ship, date of arrival, family members, etc. Frederick Peters is a Great Grandfather to me, and I've been unable to find information about his immigration, as well as about his extended family. Any kindness will be most appreciated. Jeanne

Hallo Gruppe, ich habe vor kurzem mit der Erforschung meiner Herzlieb/Hertzlieb-Vorfahren begonnen. Die Brüggemann-Kartei (im Domarchiv Ratzeburg) gibt eine Liste der Kinder des Caspar Christian Hertzlieb an, einem Müller im Kirchspiel Krummesse, Herzogtum Lauenburg, und später Kirchspiel Klütz, Mecklenburg-Schwerin. Eines dieser Kinder trägt den Nachnamen Herzwig. Ein Forscher mit besonderem Interesse an Krummesse sandte mir diese Information: "Im Taufregister von Krummesse habe ich folgende Kinder gefunden: a: 1729 Sopia Magdalena Dorothea Herzlieb (V: Caspar, Müller in Krummesse) b: 1731 Maria Magdalena Elsabe Herzwig (V: Caspar, Müller in Krummesse)" Er sagte mir, dass er annimmt, dass der Name Herzlieb/Hertzlieb gegebenenfalls vor 1726 nicht existiert habe ... und dass es eine Variante der Namen HERZWEGEN, HERTZWIG, HERZWIG, HERZIG und HERTZWEG sei. Ich bin jetzt völlig durcheinander! Könnte jemand bitte so freundlich sein, mir einen Kommentar oder Wissen zukommen zu lassen, warum Herzlieb eine Variante dieser anderen Nachnamen sein könnte? Ist dies eine gängige Erscheinung unter deutschen Nachnamen? Herzlichen Dank! Ivan Nichols ====================== Hello group, I have recently began to study my Herzlieb/Hertzlieb ancestors. The Brüggemann-Kartei (owned by the Ratzeburg archive) gives a list of the children of Caspar Christian Hertzlieb, a Müller of Kirchspiel Krummesse, Herzogtum Lauenberg and later of Kirchspiel Klütz, Mecklenburg-Schwerin. One of these children bears the surname Herzwig. A researcher who has a special interest in Krummesse sent me this information: "In the Baptism register of Krummesse the following children are found: a: 1729 Sopia Magdalena Dorothea Herzlieb (V: Caspar, Müller in Krummesse) b: 1731 Maria Magdalena Elsabe Herzwig (V: Caspar, Müller in Krummesse)" He told me that he speculates that the name Herzlieb/Hertzlieb may not have existed before 1726.....and that it was a variant of the names HERZWEGEN, HERTZWIG, HERZWIG, HERZIG and HERTZWEG. I am very confused by this! Could someone please offer any comments or knowledge about how Herzlieb could be a variant of these other surnames? Is this a common occurrence among German surnames? Thanks very much! Ivan Nichols

I have been looking for some postings on Joachim Strellner and Gertrude Port who married and settled near Vinton, Iowa, but those names have never come up. She had a brother, Otto, who may have emigrated with her. I know nothing about their lives in S-H. Is anyone researching either of these family names? I'd be glad to share what I do have here.

Hi Bodil, Thank you for your informed reply, you may have provided the answer, my next step now is to share your answer with my translator and hopefully solve this problem. Kind regards Wayne Hi, I have 2 possible ideas: 1. if you take Getrau it is almost the german word for married = getraued 2. if it is taken from a handwritten list, there are many possibilities for wrongspellings - But the last bit of Sorgenfrei = genfrei, could have been transformed into either of your own first assumed names. I am not saying this IS so; but there is a chance it could be one of those possibilities. Hope you find the right connection - with more info about her (place, dates and family) you will be able to find her in churchrecords, maybe even familysearch.com - regards from Bodil. ----- Original Message ----- From: <waynebunning@austarnet.com.au> To: <SCHLESWIG-HOLSTEIN-ROOTS-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, August 12, 2003 1:32 PM Subject: [S-H-RTS] Sorgenfrei?

I have obtained a copy of the index for my family name for Franz Schubert's S-H Trauregister and am in need of definition explanation. The index shows the name followed by (i.e.) E90, 92. Is this saying that an entry for this particular family name can be found on pg. 90 & 92 of volume E? The volumes are not lettered however,... they are numbered 2-6 for this particular register. Does the E correspond with vol. 5 (2=B, 3=C, 4=D, 5=E, 6=F)? Thank you in advance for your help! Julie Ploehn-Vigna

Dear Members, The Work Group Emigration of the AGGSH (Arbeitsgruppe Genealogie Schleswig-Holstein) has built a databank of emigrants.

This interactive data bank allows you to ENTER your known details of ancestors and relatives who emigrated. Quoting your e-mail address will allow easy contact with you in case of an ENQUIRY concerning these data, giving you the potential to find your relatives. You will find this databank under OUR PROJECTS at: http://www.aggsh.de/engl/index.html === A special THANK YOU to Mr. Juergen P.
