Hello Thomas, have a look at this website; http://www.internationales-zeitungsmuseum.de/deutsch/frameset.htm Ursula Buchholz email: mailto:[email protected] www.ursula-buchholz.com

Hello, In the Stadtarchiv/Stadtbibliothek Trier you`ll find the newspapers "Trierischer Volksfreund" from the beginning (1878) on and the "Trierische Landeszeitung" (from 1875 to 1974, when it merged with the Volksfreund) . For 100 years, these have been the most important newspapers for the Trier region. They are on a 35 mm film, you can use it on a viewer/printer there after a short technical introduction by the staff If I remember right, one copy costs 1 DM. There where some other, older newpapers in Trier. Don`t know, if they are available in the Stadtarchiv, you have to ask. For more information on newspapers of Trier, have a look at www.125jahretv.de . Go to the pulldown-menu "Die Zeitung", click on "Kurze Trierer Zeitungsgeschichte" and "von der Bleiwueste zum Layout" and you`ll find an overview of Trierer newspaper-history with lots of pictures. I think, this website is interesting for all people interested in the history and life of Trier, we (some students of the department of media science at the university of Trier) did it for the 125 year jubilee for the local newspaper. The adress of the city archive is: Stadtbibliothek Trier / Stadtarchiv Weberbach 25, D-54290 Trier, Telefon: 0049-651-718-2432 For newspapers of the Saar-region you have to look for the "Saarbruecker Zeitung", in the archives of the city of Saarbruecken and for the Mosel/East Eifel and Eastern Hunsrueck region from Cochem to Coblence the newspaper is the "Rhein-Zeitung", you can find old copies in the archive of the city of coblence. Old copies of the "Paulinus", the newspaper of the diocese Trier (~ 1870 until now) can be found in the archive of the diocese Adress: Bistumsarchiv Trier Jesuitenstraße 13b D-54290 Trier Regards Ernst Mettlach Trier/Germany ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, April 29, 2002 1:25 PM Subject: [TRIER-ROOTS-L] Archives of newspapers written in 19th C > Does anyone know if archives in Trier or near there have newspapers from the > region that were published in the early 19th C or before? > > Thomas Kohn > > > ==== TRIER-ROOTS Mailing List ==== > Going on vacation longer than 4 days?

Does anyone know if archives in Trier or near there have newspapers from the region that were published in the early 19th C or before? Thomas Kohn

humpf! Sorry but I really don't believe in those automated translators. It may of course help understand about what a site is, but don't ask more than that. As soon as you have to take into account the context of something (which is generally the case when you try to read something), those translators cannot do that. So you may get the most strange things (I could tell you a lot of examples in french like the most famous translated from the englisch "made in Turkey" speaking of course of the country which had been translated by "fait en dinde" meaning the turkey you eat on Thanksgiving...:-))) The automated translators cannot make the difference of course. A friend of mine spend time by using them to translate something in one language than in another and another one before translating it back to the first one... he laughed a lot about the things he got :-) Anyway if I said that I didn't find a way to get it in English it was only because I tried it for you before sending you the address of the site. I rather have it in french for me since English is my third language of 4 and far from being my best known :-) Barbara ----- Message d'origine ----- De : "cathy johnson" <[email protected]> À : <[email protected]> Envoyé : dimanche 28 avril 2002 17:38 Objet : Re: [TRIER-ROOTS-L] Language > Barbara > interesting website. if you go to http://babel.altavista.com and put in > the URL saying you want it translated from french to english - it does a > pretty fair job. at least you could understand a bit of it. > > cathy > > > > >From: "barbara schnubel" <[email protected]> > >To: [email protected] > >Subject: [TRIER-ROOTS-L] Language > >Date: Sun, 28 Apr 2002 16:53:44 +0200 > > > >An interesting site in this regard is : > >http://perso.club-internet.fr/rweinl/dialec_fr.htm > >However the page is in french and I didn't find a way to get it in English. > > > >Barbara > > > > > >==== TRIER-ROOTS Mailing List ==== > >Going on vacation longer than 4 days?

Hi, I don't have your Nikolaus Jost, but I have a Jost family from Nalbach (several people moved form this area to Trier for work). The oldest one, also a Nikolaus Jost (my greatgrandfather in 10th generation), died in Nalbach in 1692. I got down to his grandchildren and found that several of his grandsons had children (born between 1689 and 1719), but until now I found nothing on them. So there could well be a link between them and your grandfather, but there still is a gap. However if you are interested in those Jost, tell me. Barbara

An interesting site in this regard is : http://perso.club-internet.fr/rweinl/dialec_fr.htm However the page is in french and I didn't find a way to get it in English. Barbara

Please let me clarify my request. I am not primarily seeking a translation from German to English but more a transcription of the words written in German. Sorry if my original request wasn't clear.

Has anyone looked for Kataster (land register maps) at the archives in Koblenz? I understand this archives would hold the land registers from 1828 on. I'm curious as to what's available for Kataster research there. Thanks, Joanne Joanne A. Smith Mello [email protected]

At http://www.hoeckmann.de/deutschland/ you can find a sample of maps of several territories of Germany at the end of the 18th century.

I am looking for information about my great grandfather Peter Peters/Peter who was born on 6-3-1836 near Trier, Prussia. He came to the US on the ship Vierga Maria, with his father on 1-10-1853 at age 17. They sailed from Antwerp and arrived in New York. His father's name was also Peter Peters/Peter and I believe he was born in 1799. Catherine a sister was also listed on the passenger list. His wife Maria was not listed as a passenger, so I am assuming she stayed in Prussia until later. They were Catholic.

Is anyone related to the Jost/Yost of Hermeskeil / Sauschied area near the large city of Trier? I am looking for information on Nicolas Jost/Yost born 1782, died December 5, 1836 in Sauschied. Was married #1 to Angela Mees/Meis born January 28, 1787 and died December 22, 1811 in Bierfeld. Married #2 to Barbara Muller born 5 September, 1788 in Nonnweiler. Died July 4, 1846 in Sauschied. Had children : Margaretha, Joannes, Margaretha, Petrus, Nicolaus, Michalis and Anna Marie. My ggrandfather is Nicolaus Jost born in Hermeskeil November 14, 1846 married to Maria Bouillon. My gggrandfather is Petrus Jost born December 6, 1821 in Hermeskeil. Married to Anna Maria Kuenzer. The Jost name was changed to Yost when they came to America in 1870. Thanks for any help.

Diana, Here are historical maps from 900 to 1700: http://www.euratlas.com/time2.htm Centennia software shows details of the various small German territories in exquisite detail: http://www.clockwk.com/ The *free* Napoleonic version shows the borders between 1792 and 1820.

I know the following units were in Trier in 1897: 7. Rheinisches Infanterie-Regiment Nr.69, 3. Rheinisches Infanterie-Regiment Nr. 29 (founded in 1813) and the 3rd Bataillon of the 8th Artillery Rgt. In 1900 there was another Infantery Rgt. in Trier + the Staff of the 16th Division and the staff of the 31th and 80th Infantery Brigade and the 16th Art. Brigade. The number of troops in 1900 was 6.000, (more than 13% of population). The whole archive of the royal prussian army with enlistment rolls et.c was destroyed during a bomber attack on Potsdam in 1945. There is nothing left.

Dave, I don't know about the 1880s, but in 1905, the Emigration papers listed name, age , & family relationship. That's all. The whole family was listed on the sheet. Kathy Does any one know if there was a requirement to seek permission to emigrate from Trier in 1880's? If so what information was contained in these request and are they currently available for research? It seems to me that you would have to prove you had completed your military obligation and had disposed of your assets and were debt free. Were there also any records or release papers from the churches stating marriages and births etc.? -- ==== TRIER-ROOTS Mailing List ==== Going on vacation longer than 4 days?
