Let's not confuse Joe, Joseph(us), Joannes/Johannes. All the records I've come across indicate some men named Johannes changed their name to John when coming to the US. It is a logical conclusion. However, I can't understand how Joannes could be abbreviated "Joe" when Joe usually is the short name for Joseph(us). Does anyone have a confirmed source for this information? >From trier-roots-l-request@rootsweb.com Sat Jan 23 18:27:44 1999 >Received: (from slist@localhost) > by bl-14.rootsweb.com (8.8.5/8.8.5) id SAA14675; > Sat, 23 Jan 1999 18:16:18 -0800 (PST) >Resent-Date: Sat, 23 Jan 1999 18:16:18 -0800 (PST) >Message-ID: <36AA8415.2BF3@eosinc.com> >Date: Sat, 23 Jan 1999 20:23:17 -0600 >From: Jim & Sondra Brown <cats@eosinc.com> >Reply-To: cats@eosinc.com >X-Mailer: Mozilla 3.0 (Win95; U) >MIME-Version: 1.0 >Old-To: TRIER-ROOTS-L@rootsweb.com >Subject: Re: [TRIER-ROOTS-L] What's in a Name? >References: <001601be4726$bab36180$0100a8c0@mmeister.wt.net> >Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii >Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit >Resent-Message-ID: <"v7wPgD.A.DjD.sJoq2"@bl-14.rootsweb.com> >To: TRIER-ROOTS-L@rootsweb.com >Resent-From: TRIER-ROOTS-L@rootsweb.com >X-Mailing-List: <TRIER-ROOTS-L@rootsweb.com> archive/latest/1610 >X-Loop: TRIER-ROOTS-L@rootsweb.com >Precedence: list >Resent-Sender: TRIER-ROOTS-L-request@rootsweb.com > >If Joe is Johannes then what is John? >Is Adam a frequently used German name? >Sondra > > >==== TRIER-ROOTS Mailing List ==== >Greatest Christmas Gift Ever! >Support RootsWeb!
