Some time after this he went to western Prussia, possibly Tsczerbin, Poland area and had a son, Christian, B. 1797. In around 1812, he and Christian (his wife died prior to), and his nephew Gottfried, B. 1798 Tsczerbin, Poland, headed for Bessarabia, Russia. Georg Friedrich and Christian settled in Tarutino while Gottfried settled in Kulm. I've been searching church records in Mecklenburg for the parents of Georg Friedrich but have had no luck finding any Graumann's thus far. Since I don't know for certain where in Poland he was, or how long he was there, I haven't spent any time searching Polish records. I do know Gottfried was born in Tsczerbin in September 1798 but I would be guessing to assume Georg Friedrich was married there or that his son Christian was also born there. They did, however, arrive at the same time in Bessarabia. I have all the information I need regarding their lives in and after Bessarabia, but I have very little of their lives prior to their arrival there (in Poland and Germany).

My great grandmother Bertha Schneider (father's name August) was born 15.08.1894 (marriage name Schmidt). Until her year of death (approx. 1929-1930) she lived in the place Dobry Kut in Pulin (Shitomir), Wohlynien. Their family has consisted of 4 people. Husband - Gustav Schmidt (father's name Gottlieb) 12/07/1892 And the children: Ida Schmidt 19.09.1923; Waldemar Schmidt in 1926; Robert Schmidt in 1929. I have found all dates of birth in grandmother's birth certificate. But now central issue, belonging is to my search. Bertha had a brother, Edward Schneider. I do not know the dates of birth of Edward Schneider . My grandmother Ida has told me that Edward must be about 5 years older than his sister Bertha. So year of birth of Edward must be about in in 1888-1889 or so. Further the history is that Edward Schneider with two sons and his wife migrated to Canada sometime between 1905-1930. How has he go to Canada? Our family has not information as to whether or not he really did go. Dear Dear ladies and gentlemen, I have to you a request if some information about my relatives exists generally to send me by email.

I have found that these are wonderful because they help to bridge the gap after the bmd films end with 1865. The earlier records on this film give the confirmand's name, the home village, the father's name and date and place of confirmation. (and the grades!) Later, they add the mother's name, then the mother's maiden name, and in the very latest the village of birth. Otherwise it is the village where the family is living at the time. At times, information is missing. Sometimes the name in the "family" column is different from that of the confirmand and I imagine the father has died and this is a step-father or uncle. It appears that sometimes the confirmation takes place only in Lipno; sometimes it is a different date for the various Kantorates, and in some cases it seems that the confirmation is in Lipno, but the Kantorate and the Kantor are mentioned as "presenting his class." I like too in the later records when they noted the liturgical Sunday and the text the Pastor used. I enjoyed looking those up and seeing what great texts he preached on. These records are in table format rather than the narrative as in the bmd records for this parish. The young people were confirmed at age 15 or 16 altho a few are a bit older. I think they had to be 15 by the date of confirmation so if their birthday was later in the year, they are in the next class. Our local FHL is only open 2 days a week for a few hours, so depending on how many requests I get, it may take a while. The copier there is broken, but they have allowed us to take digtal photographs. There are many many familiar names on this film... Makes me think that if I walked into this church in 1880's, I would know half the people! Perhaps it will have your missing relative! If you have a lot of family members in this church at this time, you may want to order the film yourself. The mother's maiden names especially are difficult to read because they are written so tiny and squeezed into the space. And of course, as always, we need to be flexible about spelling.

They have all the church records from Koenigsburg in what used to be East Prussia. I was really on a wild goose chase because the only information I had was the family came form Koenigsburg, and I assumed it was East Prussia, although I understand there were a lot of germans emigrating from Oest Preussen in the early 1800's. My GrGrandfather Christian was born in Rudinka, Volhynia in 1832 and all I know is that his father was Jakob. I may yet go back, or get a researcher to follow up and see whether any Ittermann's came from there. The people in the archive at that time said to their knowledge there were none of my relatives coming from there. Christian married Luise Berwold's (Baerwald) whose family came out of Pommerania. Which does not help. I have their marriage certificate which shows Christian to be 15 yrs old and Luise was 13 years of age. I thought it was a bit early, but I understand it was not uncommon for marriages at that age where the families knew each other. I tried recently to get them to do some searching for me on the name. They just referred me some researchers in Berlin. Accomodation in Berlin would be pretty pricy now. Probably several hundred euro's a day.

Gene-ology is about just that... Genes. Our genetic lineage. "Nationality" is about a circle drawn on a piece of land, an imaginary circle around an imaginary bundle of rights. Our genes are the only reality. Paper records are the indicator, a paper trail coming down to us through time. They do not answer from where and with exactness from who. I consider genetic testing a powerful tool like a compass, it points. (this is dependent on the company doing the genetic testing) I have all of my personal genome now, resultant from testing. I was surprised at my paternal linage and doubly surprised at my maternal lineage. I will expand on this for you this evening, right now the boat is waiting, I'm going fishing.

I did not know where to look. . . I was faced with my surname and its "ie" diphthong. I was faced with an alias surname also used in the past, "Stodulski." The parents spoke Low German/High German, some Polish and Russian and of course English. Who were my forefathers? Where did they appear from in the 1500's? Who am I? After years of research I came to know many of my cousins. All knew less than I did. To begin, there are basically two types of genetic testing for genealogy. 1. STR's = short tandem repeats. Defines haplotypes. Used in forensics to identify father, brother, uncle, cousin and so on. 2. SNP = single nucleotide polymorhism. Defines haplogroups. Haplogroups pertain to deep ancestral origins dating back thousands of years Determine what type of information you are looking for before you test your DNA. Look up the following 4 terms in Wikipedia. ============== Haplotype Haplogroup SNP array Genealogical DNA test ============== Genetic testing. . . I knew less about it than some of you do so I began researching it and discovered it is a foundling industry with huge potential. I began talking it up and discovered I was not alone in my ignorance of the subject. I next approached a professor of molecular anthropology at Penn State recommended by my son. (the lab "chip" used in SNP information gathering is most important) He recommended a broad-spectrum SNP test used by him and performed by https://www.23andme.com/ (a simple "spit into a test tube" and mail it in) (it includes information from all chromosomes and the mitochondrial DNA information (50,000 snps)-it will take weeks to assimilate the information) Here also is a research site recommended to me by my son Erich http://dna-forums.org/index.php?act=idx I, of course, immediately focused on the genealogy information portion of the test. My personal haplogroup numbers for those wanting to compare: (each character after R is a subgroup or subclade of the R haplogroup- the * indicates a subgroup to yet be identified) Paternal Haplogroup:R1b1b2a1a1* (from the fringes of the North Sea- Frisian) (originally R1b1c9-changed to a more universal set of numbers yesterday) R1b1b2a1a1* is a subgroup of R1b1b2. Yes, I can compare for relationship. It pointed to the fringes of the North Sea-The Frisians. I googled "Schienke Frisia"(Niedersachsen) and found many "Schienke" still there, dead and alive. I found an out of copyright book (pub. 1802) in Google Books on genuine Frisian given and surnames. "Schienke" was one of them. Next I began comparing relatives surnames... Wow! It was falling together for me. http://books.google.com/books?id=eyISAAAAIAAJ&pg=RA1-PA125&lpg=RA1-PA125&dq=schienke+frisian&source=bl&ots=d6n9SqID1q&sig=qvZRBG7TL_de5jKqiRR6YVo8qWk&hl=en&ei=1k_RSe39PNzslQfp96HqCQ&sa=X&oi=book_result&resnum=6&ct=result#PRA1-PA125,M1 My mother's line of descent is difficult to obtain on paper to date... I've progressed no further in the paper trail than g. grandfather Langas and g. grandmother Karoline Hintz. Below is my maternal haplogroup. Maternal Haplogroup:H1* (largest concentration 500 years ago in Norway, undoubtedly Frisian years distant) (both haplogroups were from Doggerland 10,000 years ago-Wikipedia- Doggerland) H1* is a subgroup of H1.

Some of them, from the Deblitz, Freigang and Roller families, are pictured in my article on Volhynian Germans in St. Paul in the June, 2008, Journal. I have no idea who in these families (or others?) still live in the area, except for one--that is Alice (Deblitz) Baumbach, now about 100 years old. She was my major source of information about the village of Solodyri where she and my father were neighbors. It would be wonderful if she could somehow get to the convention and be recognized. I'll have to check into this and find out if she would be willing and able to be there. You asked about a church. I do not know the name of the church these people attended, but it was surely a German Baptist church. If I can find out anything more, I'll post it.

The Manke and Hinkleman families seem quite easy to find in the 1920 and 1930 USA censuses, and also the deaths of Ernestine (in 1981) and Adele (in 1986) in the Connecticut death indexes. Have you looked for obituaries in the towns where they died? Have you done a search of male children of the correct name in an electronic telephone directory to see whom you can find?

Historical Society, Trinity Lutheran Church In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <7EF483A0-C8FA-43AC-9071-80ED406FAF97@mac.com> My grandmother that immigrated from Germany lived in Milwaukee with her parents from about 1891 - 1900. I visited Milwaukee in 2000 to do a 'Family History Visit' with my husband. We did a visit to the Milwaukee Historical Society, which is a museum in an old bank building. They have some archive data, and in their file box, I was able to find data on grandma's older brothers. I believe it related to when they applied for naturalization, and may have included data on their address in Milwaukee. My ancestral family came from Prussia, and they attended St. Mattheus Lutheran Church in Milwaukee. Grandma's Confirmation Certificate was in German. This church is no longer, so on Sunday we attended Trinity Lutheran Church, which is an old congregation. Nancy in Minnesota Aloha!

Message-ID: <20090619.074229.17631.1@webmail19.vgs.untd.com> In Wisconsin, marriage records between 1907 and the late 1970's are not in any public online index, so must be researched at the county courthouse where the marriage took place. This is also true for deaths and births since 1907. For these vital records as well as for wills and property ownership records, the county courthouse would be the archives location to seek, if you know which county your family lived in when the event took place. The counties in southeastern Wisconsin are small--within a 50 mile radius of Milwaukee you might need to research as many as 7 different counties (Waukesha, Racine, Kenosha, Walworth, etc.) or more distant areas of the state, depending on where your family lived. Naturalization records for Wisconsin have been archived at the University of Wisconsin libraries at numerous locations, including Madison, Milwaukee, and the Parkside campus in Kenosha County. It would be worth contacting these places ahead of time to learn what holdings they contain and their hours and rules of access. A few hours in such archives might prove very fruitful, but you may also have to wait several weeks to get results from microfilm that may be housed off site, particularly for a large archive like the Milwaukee County Courthouse. The records in the courthouses are indexed on site, and if you provide the clerks with the records you find in the indexes, you can make a request for the information to be sent to you later if your time in Milwaukee is limited.

You will have to register. For a while they had one area where everyone posted translation requests, but I later noticed people opening new subjects.

I just want to know, in a general way, if you think I have any chance of finding him just by paging through parish records. Are there civil records available? My grandfather, when he came to the USA after marrying another German near Kiev, wrote "Warsaw" as his place of birth on passport application, etc. Perhaps he is not from there, at all, but just thought that might be the only place Americans would recognize!

With the marriage having taken place in Kiev, he may have come from Volhynia. (Polish Volhynia) There is a suggestion that the name could vary between Haak - Hack-Hauk-Heck. There are also a lot of Haak's in the Emmons County, N.D. Cemeteries. Have you tried to contact any Haak's that are living in that area. Citizen Applications of your grandfather. Another area of search would be the US death index. I"m just checking if you have done any research of other Haak's in the US. It is an odd name which is good for a search, similar in oddness like my own last name. I wish you luck and good hunting.

The index will tell you the record number and/or page number for the full entry. I looked at the LDS catalogue. For Protestants in Warsaw I only saw two churches, one Evangelical, and one Evangelical-Reformed. The LDS catalogues these as copies of the church records, these copies served as the civil records. Unfortunately, they both stop in 1862! Might still be worth a try, in case Karl is a year older than you think, or to look for possible older siblings, possible marriages of Haak couples. There are also some city directories from 1869 and 1870 - maybe you could look if there are any Haak families listed. (I do agree with what you said - there's a risk that he just said Warsaw because it was simpler than putting down the name of a small village somewhere in Poland).

Paul is correct that the church books mostly have indexes (usually at the end of the book), but sometimes you will find no index, or alternately you will find a whole bunch of indexes all together in one place- perhaps a decade's worth of indexes in one book.

This fall I'll be visiting the villages in Poland and Ukraine where my ancestors lived. But I have a problem with the general story of why Germans left Poland in the 1860s and migrated to Volhynia in such large numbers. My great grandfather, Martin Stelter was born in Janowka, Piotrkow in 1809. His parents must have migrated to that area after the partitions of Poland in the 1790s when it became South Prussia. I don't yet know their names or where they came from. That area of Poland because Russian territory after 1815. Martin took his family to Volhynia in 1867, part of a large migration. The reasons usually given include the freeing of the serfs and the Polish Uprising of 1863. What is not clear to me is why so many Germans decided to move further into the Russian empire. PArticularly as Russia was doing its best to Russify Volhynia, and was moving against the Polish landlords there. What am I missing? Were these people misled about the situation there? I've been reading Weeks, NAtion and State in LAte Imperial Russia, WAndycz, The LAnds of PArtitioned Poland and others, including Jerry Frank.

PArticularly as Russia was doing its best to Russify Volhynia, and was moving against the Polish landlords there. " It is true that the uprising of the Poles led many Germans to flee Russian Poland. Its uprising was brutal and the Russian repression much worse. Volhynia was much safer. Also the Russification program in Volhynia would not start for another two decades. It is true the serfs in Volhynia were freed and that left the manorial farms. The Germans did not want to work on the farms but were glad to buy land. Soon the nobles sold land and the Germans were enthusiastic since in Russian Poland and many other areas land was not available to buy. This second wave included those from Pommern and West Prussia as well as Russian Poland. I might note that Pommern and West Prussia were overpopulated and the mechanizing of farming was reducing the need for small scale farmers. So at the same time my great grandfather was heading for Volhynia other family members were heading for the US and Canada. The Russification program was a key driving force in the 1890's migrations out of Volhynia of Germans, Jews, Poles, and even Ukranians. regards bill ******************************************************************** William Remus Emeritus Professor of Information Technology Management 2404 Maile Way, Honolulu, Hawaii, USA 96822 Telephone: 808-956-7608 Fax: 808-956-9889 For Information about Bill Remus, go to his website http://remus.shidler.hawaii.edu/ ********************************************************************
