Christmas, Is It Just Another day or a Traditional Happy Holiday For You?

Sometimes at Holidays, my mother used to jokenly say, it's just another day. Maybe those were the days that she had chicken instead of the christmas goose. Mother never acted as if it was just another day. At least not until she was in declining years. There was always evidence of Christmas to come and other holidays with the decorations around galore.

I can no longer spend christmas with my mother. And I did not attempt to imitate my mother's celebration of Christmas. My family got together for christmas day celebration with my husbands family. I no longer drive four or five hours over the hills and through the woods to get together with my birth family. Dear Peg had at least two other celebrations of christmas with her extended family groups, so we were not the only reason for her holiday decor! That girl doesn't take the easy way that is for sure. It is the good silverware and the china everytime. She is The best Hostest all around; just as if I were at my mother's house for christmas.



Holiday cheer.
It was Christmas day and the house was all decorated with Holiday cheer.
Outside there was evidence of snow fallen. Santa had no trouble that evening before making his way to this house. No snowflakes during the day except those above the window. More on those handsome snowflakes to come at another blog site later.




Everything was ready as usual.
We were all cheerful and merry at Peg and Steve's house. I guess her newest acquisition of the booze dispenser helped elevate that. I had a nice christmas day there as usual, even though I worked later that afternoon. So I understood the delay in opening the gifts. The gifts were opened in the afternoon going from person to person. It takes a very long time. [I am not sure if it is a german tradition or norwegian one.] My gift was a nice surprise for my return from work. So I guess it extended my Holiday.

My little family had exchanged gifts this year on Christmas eve instead of our traditional christmas morning. I had always stubbornly insisted on a getting together at christmas eve out of some kind of loyalty to my family habits. And the Husband did the same by wanting time in the morning showing loyalty to his family.
.... Plus the Christmas dinner with his family...The Table is welcoming to the oncoming Dinner Guests

The meal was as the son said just what he had been hopeing for and expecting..




The Christmas spirit is enhanced by the young ones.
When there are young ones around, it does seem like the Christmas spirit is enhanced. It was so in our case. This special christmas baby was a month older than the photo.

She was the center of attention next to the great dinner, which was so good we couldn't ignore it. I myself thought I could give the parents some free time, so captured the merry little baby for some precious moments.

It was not just another day, it was a special day.
All in all it was a very nice christmas that we all could share together. That it is most about. It just was not as my mother used to joke and say. It's just another day.

Note: Sorry the pictures are not shown at their best. I suppose there are ways of making the better shots. I just haven't learned all the tricks.

There were no christmas day church services for us.
Most services had been the evening before. So our celebration was limited into the home experiences. My daughter had wanted to attend a service. Maybe next year we can plan better. I think I said that last year about the christmas holiday plans. [Wink]

How did you spend Christmas?
Like your family always has? Your way? New ways? Not at all?
I hope You all had a Merry Christmas celebrated as a tradition by each of you in your own specially created ways. I would love to hear how you celebrated it. Even if for some of you it was just another day. Please leave a comment.

Herman Meyer to marry in IOWA

How about that. A Meyer returns to Iowa to marry. It is however the wrong county. But is by Greene county. He will marry in Pochantas Dec. 12, 2008. I guess he will not be living there. He is Herman Meyer. But they could not call him Herman Junior since he was a grandson. So they called him Herman Meyer II. He did take on a nickname. He had a birthday this week. So I Wish him happiness on his wedding, and a belated birthday. When my computer gets fixed, I will add in a nice picture of Herman Meyer II.

Any One In The Family Care To Research Henke?

Please do research the Henke family history, if you have the desire to do so. I have next to nothing on this familien name Henke. Hencke. The family name appeared on records around the cities of Muden Oertze bei Fassberg.

As you know she was Anna Marie Henke. She married Johann Heins. After birth of a few children they moved to Oldendorf. That is where Juergen Heinrich Wilhelm Meyer
[geb. eichdorf] married Maria Heins. I have often wondered how William Meyer met the daughter Maria Dorothea Heins. Perhaps the family moved there first. I have wondered if they had something to do with the hunting lodge at Roethen in the Goehrde area.

If you have results, would you please let me know what you find. Thank you.

Note: In America Heins took on the spelling of Heinz by the various relatives.

JOHANN HEINRICH HEINS with ANNA HENKE HEINZ



http://arootdigger.blogspot.com/2008_07_01_archive.html

The above link is for viewing further information about Meyer Heins Marriage and children.

I think the Anna Marie Hencke Heinz looks like she walked out of a Jane Austin Movie. Or Charlotte Bronte Novel. I wonder if the uniform on the handsome gent could be a clue?

I wish I knew for sure if the captions are correct. Any one with the Meyer book know for sure? Was it corrected in your Meyer book? He most definately looks like the captioned Heinrich Heinz with Mrs Frau Heinz.

I believe this one is the oldest photo of oldest Ancestor that our family had. I believe Frieda Nahnsen said that it was suppose to Meyer. Though the caption in the Meyer book says Heinz.

Verl where are you? Can you tell us?

Comments on the correct name, very welcome.

More on Maves, Mews, Mewes familien names




Ladies at left are Maternal Maves from Mewes family. Sorry pic can't be edited at the moment. The tree is a work in progress. You will be able to follow it at
http://therootsofitall.blogspot.com/ Since this blog is for the Maternal and paternal Meyer lines I have placed it on it's own Wi blog spot. Maves is on the Husby/ Johnsen tree..

Maves, Mewes, Mews surname Search in genealogy.




I was in contact with Fraulein Roth. She of the most generous sweet nature gave me copy of her digging into the Maves family history. Her tree falls under Gotttlieb/Friedrich/William/Wilmer Maves line. She gave me permission to add to my own source. Some of which is very similar. A majority of her information came from the 1925 edition of the genealogy book of Dunn county.

She also mentioned that the Roth family came from Switzerland. For the family of interest should be the name Engeldinger. Brief glimpses in the name brings up Switzerland familie names they married and the name Hein.

It is a source I have already been access to from the local genealogy group in that county. [Also at the county library there is a booklet by a lady named French in the genealogy collection.]
Dunn county has done much in the genealogy field. Among leaders in that field I will give credit to Linda Schwartz. If any of your Maves line connect with norway, I suggest you check out her site. At the list of links at my side. As I said there are quite a few places of evidence of her work and others. Here is another link you can copy and paste, if you wish.

http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~widunn/

Others in regards to Dunn county.
http://www.discover-net.net/~mlana/memhistory.html
You will find many yourself by the google tool.


In order to protect the living I will make some changes in the copy I have already. I will update it with a few of the obituaries and facts from the church about marriages or births, if I can. I will list names. Then if anyone has any further questions, please email me or comment.

I accidently clicked on some spyware fake websites. So my own computer is down. One must be more careful than I have been. [ click x if you can and retreat]. In addition, one must be very careful of messenger invitations to check out their sites. So now I have to bear the consequences. I will be around, but not as much for a short amount of time without the pictures and documents that I have collected. I do not know how the loss of internet explorer will affect the blog. I am currently trying to find out if anything or something has to be saved.

I shall be moving Maves tree to another email address soon. The roots of it all. Primarily it will concentrate on the Maves and related information regarding that tree and it's location. Mainly because it's history comes from Pommerania. I deal more with Hannover Kingdom.
Comments welcome.

Note: Maves, Mewes are not in My Meyer Ancestors. The Heritage occurs through Marriages of Johnson, Johnsen, Or Johansen and the Husby line. You may see this also at http://therootsofitall.blogspot.com/

Stettin Location on Google Map for Charles Maves Family

Charles MAVES, MEWS, MEWES was from Stettin, Pommern. I wouldn't be surprised if the other family surnames were as well.
I have given you a few sites that you might want to check. You can see that Stettin is now Szczecin, Poland. Vorpommern or was called Pommern. It will probably be a difficult area to research. Though family search .org has some earlier data before 1800.

FAQ.pommern - Pomerania, Prussia

FAQ.pommern - Pomerania, Prussia: "A1: Pommern was a Prussian province. Its capital was Stettin (pronounce:stet-TEEN). Q2: What was Pommern's recent history? A2: After the 30-Years-War (1648) Pommern consisted of two areas: Schwedish-Pommern in the West under Swedish rule and the Eastern area under the rule of the Brandenburg Electors. After the defeat of Napoleon, Sweden in 1815 renounced all her claims to areas in Germany incl. Pommern. Pommern West of the Oder River was also called Vorpommern (Cis-Pomerania), East of the Oder River Hinterpommern (Trans-Pomerania). In 1938 areas from the former provinces of Westpreussen and Posen which were lost after WWI were added in an administrative reform. Hinter-Pommern was cleansed of its ethnic German population and given to Poland in 1945. The Western powers were silent on the ethnic cleansing. Stettin was renamed Szczecin."

Fresh blood line found with familes Genealogy of Charles Maves family

A few days before Halloween a work buddy told me her daughter did some research and found out the Maves family is related to that daughter's son. She knew I had some data that I could put my finger on for this family. So a few of these blogs are in honor of that news. I always like to find fresh blood.........lines. tee hee.
So I hope that explains the title. lol. It was about three years ago on Halloween eve as I was checking my emails, I discovered that I had been the Fresh blood line found by my Mothers relative. I razzed him about it. He never confessed to the implication. I suspect it was his humor. At Halloween as I think of this, it makes me smile every time.

She must have done good research because the mother told me about land records and even told me the parents Of Herbert Maves. I do hope I have something here that she does not already have! And I hope she will share her Roth information with me.

At any rate this is the tree that the newly discovered blood line of Maves they fall into.

Other notes:

10-11: umlaut over a
13: umlaut over o
19: umlaut over u
25: the only letters in this surname I’m sure of are D and e. It could be Du?ve. Germans to America calls it Dwve.
45: age is written as 9 3/5 in the month column
77: Germans to America has this name as Muhlbrunner, I see it as Muhlbrunna
84: even Germans to America did not attempt to transcribe this second name
97-99: umlaut over o
123: fell overboard and was drowned
121-128: unlaut over o
129: ? in name is smudged; could be Prawitz or Prewitz

199: umlaut over u
200: umlaut over a
205: umlaut over a
212-214: umlaut over u
229: heavy line drawn through this name Correspondence 4/27/00 My Ancestors Twin brother was # 70 Wilhelm SCHLESIER on the ship "Bark Mississippi" from Bremen to New York that arrived on 10 Jun 1856. He resided in Manhattan and in latter life Brooklyn, NY. He was in the Civil War and he was a Cooper all his life. Wilhelm Schlesier was: 1. Born 28 July 1829 in Altenburg, Saxony, Germany 2. Died 28 March 1904 at 71 N. 1st St, Brooklyn, NY 3. Private in 11th Regiment, NY Veteran Volunteers from 1861 to 1863, (2 years and 3 months) and was stationed at Fort Castle Williams, Governers Island, NYC NOTE A LITTLE KNOWN FACT! The above military information is not in the National Archives as All Military that that did not go to battles and stayed in their home states were not considerered by the archivists to be in the Civil War. This leaves probably 500,000 to a million soldiers that are not registered in the National Archives as being in the Civil war. They show up in the 1890 Federal Military Census, if they were still alive. Wilhelms brother Carl Schlesier was a private in the 28th Reg,Co A, New York National Guard, for about 3 years during the Civil War. His Regiment was called for 30 days, to the Battle of Gettysburg. Therefore he is listed in the National Archives as being in the Civil war for 30 days.Robert A. Schlesier Correspondence 1/19/02 passenger #21 Lockemacher/Lackemacher Friedrick Lockemacher, passenger 21, is believed to be Johann Friedrich Lackemacher b 1798 father of Wilhelm L.

What’s the Difference Between Typhus and Typhoid? - Blurtit

Typhus and Typhoid fever

Some days I just am unsure if my my ancestor Juergen Heinrich Wilhelm Meyer had typhus or typhoid at the time of his prisoner days at probably a flea invested Metz, France. It's possible he could have had the life threatening infliction at the end of the Franco Prussian war. When I tell this little fact I sound so wishy washy. So if your like me, when refering to this affliction of our ancestors it's good to get it correct rather than mention Thyphus and Thyphoid fever at the same time. So I shall help you and myself with an explanation here....

Maria Meyer, Mother and Daughter on the Manifest of Ship Frisia

Manifest of  Immigration Passenger list

If I had left this document black and white, my Highlighter would have blackened out everything. I shouldn't have highlighted my information. But it felt so good at the time. But it does help you pin point their location on this page.

37694
This is Maria Dorothea (Heins) Meyer on the same page as her daughter Maria or Mary Meyer. Mary married into the Nahnsen family. Just as her sister Frieda, who was born in Iowa years later.
For a group picture of the Meyer daughters you can see them in a photograph taken from the Meyer book.
http://arootdigger.blogspot.com/2008/08/yeah-pictures-from-meyer-book.html

I am sorry to say that the rest of the familly will have to wait until further posting. Yeaaah, once I go through and file pages in the boxes I have accumulated.

Castle Garden Immigration source results for Hch. Frd.Herrman Meyer

Castle Garden
Our Ancestors passed through many ports. In this case it is the Castle Garden port that holds the records of our Meyer's Immigration. *You can find the lists at many sources. I looked in more than one source for these manifest numbers. Because Grandfather kept saying he had a brother Louis. Or at least I thought he said that. I will never know what Louis he was refereing too, because none have show up in my research* [ edited this in ]

The Manifest No. if the ships passage on the  1884 Immigration Passenger  ship Frisia was # 37694.I have said over and over that Juergen Heinrich Wilhelm Meyer and his wife Maria Dorothea Heins left Oldendorf, bei Nahrendorf for Hamburg in February.  [ According to a letter written by Anna Meyer Bennett]  From there they went to New York. There arrival is stated as April 8, 1884. They traveled with Dagevor or Dagefor. [ Dagefoerde ] which are relation on the maternal Heins side of the family.



Note: Barr with me, I always mix April 6 with April 8, so correct me, if I make the error. The answer to when they left is to be found in the Hamburg Passenger lists.

Source:
German to America volumes of Books or Cd. I will give you copy of that manifest soon for each person. It is similar to that which we find at Castle Garden.org.
- See how Herman's name has the double r.
-I had seen these all in a email, but the email is no longer available.

Document Body of Emigrationof the Document seal from Nahrendorf church carried by Herman Meyer

scanned by jo arootdigger - copyright

Posted by Picasa

Now we see the whole entire bottom half of the church seal document.  I know I know it needs to be rescanned and I  need to ditch the pink and yellow.

Yesterday, I posted a simile of the church seal. So today I deleted it. I was wrong there were only two words on the church seil, which are Kirohensiegel and Nahrendorf. Not siegel der kirchengemeinde Nahrendorf.... as I thought it had been. Nor was it a red brown color. I suppose the error will be out there forever. That will teach me, won't it. We do learn from our errors. I should be well educated by now!

Now we saw the bottom main body of the letter. With out the cut off on the right side. We should be able to read it much better.

Document of the Traveling Papers of Herman Meyer

At the top of this Document you will see the name Herman H. Meyer written in pencil. It is funny that though he was actually Hch. Frd. Hermann, He was always known as Herman H.Meyer. [I did notice that when he got married he used the correct name.] I have wondered how many copies of this document they had. I suppose each child had his own. Eighteen eighty one is his birth year. [ we originally thought it was 1883.]
I wonder whose handwriting that is in pencil.

Pagel page 3 GENEALOGIE - - DEATH, MARRIAGE - kIRCHE - CHURCH RECORDS

~ Family history- Catharina Margarthea Luhmann's Sisters from Eichdorf ~

I received some records from researcher Friedrich Burmester of Bleckede several years back. I was given it as a reduced rate before his busy season began. I had asked for verification of each of our Cathrina Margaretha Luhmann Meyer sisters. Now bear in mind that they were hand written in German old style. Some words are still not clear to me. Perhaps some day, I can find a willing reader to tell me what it says, if I can get around to scanning the documents. I need to find original letter to double check what I have here. My info is not correlating to another I found.

It was up to me to see if they belonged with my records or not. I am not sure if they all do. Just in case something else pops up it is nice to have.

I am so pleased to be able to present a wonderful map of our area East of the Elbe river. My area of interest covers such a vast area of family residents. It shows Radenbeck where Meyer came from by Thomasburg all the way down to Göhrde as well as by Dannenberg.

Found the Bell line -- Fairmont, Minnesota

Isn't it funny how you can find some information by chance. It seems like that, but is it really.

I may have explained once about the mystery man in Fairmont, Martin county in Minnesota to many of you. For those of you who have not heard of him, I will tell you. This man was a relative of mine he said. He told me that he had been asked to "keep an eye on me" while I lived there. My father did that. Oh boy what a surprise to me that was. Once I asked about how he was related. Two days for an hour or two he filled me in. He did it with associations. And it worked. It was too much to take in at once like that. I wrote very little down. I do still remember most of the associations. Over time my research brought back memories of what he told me. These associations, I will share later.

Note: I am going to edit this story later. It shall suffice for now.

One association that I will share now is the tie to Nahnsen / Meyer of Iowa. Perhaps even Murray. It is the tree connection to ours that I saw this morning. I may have seen the tree before. But as I browsed the tree the main name that rang a bell was the name BELL. One of those that was mentioned to me. Another surname of importance was the name Sorensen.

I promise to come back and work with this for you as soon as I can. I am sure I can pick up the laptop and share a bit more. At least the website link will be a start. Right?

So at anyrate. Have patience, I will be back to give the information that I learned today. It brings me close to one of my goals. That goal is to find that mystery family in Fairmont.
So until tomorrow then. Good bye.

Added Another Genealogist to my Links--The Geneaholic

I simply could not help myself. With a category like
Genealogicus Interruptus terminology, how could I not want to link to that.

At any rate he is a self confessed Geneaholic.
I am not sure, if he is on a twelve step program. I guess I will research his blog to find out that later. It will be easy to do now that I have put him on my blog roll. [I accidently deleted it once and now it is restored.]

Luhmann Family History Information From the Letter of a Family Member

Farnhamville street scene from Centennial of Farnhamville book
-copyright-


-----Original Message-----
From: Pegg
Subject: Frank Luhmann Family of Farnhamville, Iowa & Hendricks, Minnesota

Thu, 27 Sep 2001


Hi,
I am the grandaughter of Frank Luhmann.

I think this is the Luhmann family you are trying to locate.

The Luhmann family immigrated from Bleckede (Kleinburg), Province of Hanover,
Germany in the spring of 1892. The farm one half mile west of Farnhamville,
Iowa, leading out from Main Street, was purchased from Obed Bassett.

Family arriving were:
Paternal Grandfather: Ernest Friederich (1811-1896)
Father: Christian Friederich Wilhelm (1847-1906)
Mother: Elizabeth Magdalene Louise Schmidt (1847-1916)
Son: Fred (1873-1906)
Son: Wilhelm (1874-1952)
Daughter: (Eliese (1876-1962)
Son: Heinrich (1878-1930)
Son: Franz Ernest Friederich (1882-1961)
Daughter: Dora (1887-1973)
Son: Carl (1888-1971)
Daughter: Lena (1890-1952)

Fred never married.

Wilhelm (Will) married Caroline Kandler. 2 Daughters Martha and Caroline

Eliese (Lizzie) married Wilhelm Wohne. 4 daughters Hilda, Lena, Frieda and
Luella

Heinrich (Hank) married Caroline Abel. 4 sons Otto, Leo, Earl and Archie

In 1909 Franz (Frank) married Bertha Anna Marie Burger (1892 - 1974) who came
to America from Hamburg, Germany in 1908. They remained on the estate until
it was sold to Joe Givens in 1914. Then with Daughters Gertrude Marie (1911)
and Frances Magdalene (1913-1995) they moved to a farm purchased near
Hendricks, Minnesota. Born there were Marie Antoniette (1917) and Margaret
Helen (1920).

Gertrude married Frank Anton Walter in (1938). 2 Children Frank Joseph
(1939) and Frances Ann (1944)
Frances married Vern King (1932). 2 Children Lynne Luhmann (1942) and James
Frederick (1946)
Marie married Glenn Ablett (1935). 3 Children Kay Frances (1937-1939),
Connie Lea (1939) and Keith Luhmann (1941)
Margaret married Don Earwood (1940). 4 Children Fred Russell (1941), Nancy
Luh (1949), Donald Edgar (1952) and Terry E. (1955)

Dora married Oscar Matice. 2 Children Clarence and Farlow. Dora later
married Kamill Friemel.

Carl married Eva Hall (1892-1922). 2 children Avis Darlyne and Eva Doryl
(1922-1922) Carl married Nellie Woodcock in 1926. Adopted daughter Verda
Lea.

Lena married Edward Perry. 2 sons Carle E and Jack L.

If this information is helpful to you, please let me know. I could go a
little farther down the line.

I just started looking into my family history. All 4 of my grandparents were
born in Germany.
................ My Aunt Gert is also related to the Vogels and
Taslers thru her marriage to Frank Walter.

Is there Humor on a tombstone?

A few days ago I fell into reviewing some cemetery listings of rural Minnesota in the southern region.
As I was scanning a stone heading, I had to take a second look. [I made up the name to something like mine to save the real people.]

Sarah Jane [Sucker] Meyer beloved wife. year 1851- 1895
John Doe Meyer beloved Husband 1850-1900.
Now I saw the name Sucker posted further on, so I know it was not cruelty or bad humor.

Is that funny? It struck me that way on the day that I saw it. I mean is there humor in it, if it is on a head stone?. What do you think? what could have been funnier would if there had been something on the husbands tombstone. I guess it would have to be a fantastic last name or middle name, right? I am not sure what that would be.

I read this tombstone joke, while browsing and I enjoyed it so much, I have to tell it.

A young boy was given the name Odd by his parents for some odd reason. When he was young, the other children used to tease him, because of his name. Later still, in high school and college, he was picked on, bullied, harassed because of his name. Even as an adult at work, he was still picked on for his name. So one day in his elder years, he informed his wife that he hated his name. He told her that he did not want his name on his tombstone because he hated it so much. He said he did not want to be remembered by that name. His wife had listened to him, so when it came time for his burial his loving wife did as he asked. She put only his birth date and the death date and left off his name.

It was viewed by many people visiting the cemetery. Often people who would be walking by his tombstone often stopped to look at it and make the same comment. "Isn't that odd?".

Digger into Genealogy branch of Luhmann

Copyright from Farnhamville Centennial book
LUHMANN FAMILY
written April 13,2012

It is my understanding that Meyer went to Lohrville first in 1884. Also I think the Ernest Friedrich Luhmann family did as well. There may be others of the family that lived there that I am unaware of. I think that Fred Meyer at Churdan helped set him up according to the promise. Later after finances were fixed the family could settle where they wanted. The Meyers attended the St. Peters church of Farnhamville area. The Luhmanns did not.

Imagine how happy Fred must have been to finally see family again after fifteen years of not having seen William or the Luhmanns. It is strange though, that there are not many pictures of Meyer mixing with Luhmann. I am curious why that would have been. Not much mentioned in the Meyer book at all. Just a few pictures and mention of the mother.??


Some of the Luhmanns looked like Meyer children.

Ernest Luhman [Familie] Family Tree


Taken from the Farnhamville Centennial book



Calhoun county  Luhmann from Bleckede - Dahlenburg



Because I could not go to Germany and research I was able to attain a professional genealogist by the name of Friedrick Burmester of Bleckede. he would do this at a discount for me one time. I had so much information that I wanted. It was a hard choice. I was working on the Luhmnan of Farnhamville at the time, so I chose that family. I really wanted to see if they were related to ours. And they were. Peggy Luhman of Oregon confirmed it. 
And  then Her grandmother had asked for the Luhman address, so that she could write to them. [I never heard, if she actually did it or not.]  
Friedrich Burmester sent me  several handwritten  pages. Some written the old way in handwriting. I still have not entirely translated all of it. Some of it verifies information that I received from the good citizen of Niedersachen...Herr Kregel about the Luhmann family.

Heins, Heinz Links of Genealogy of a Rootdigger: a rootdigger


I have just created two other blogs.
. I have done this, because I think the Heinz- Heins will need one of its own. There is so much to show.
. One of the others connected to this blog is Life on Sunnyslope farm. Mostly family pictures, clippings, family stories, that I might obtain or already have to share. It might be a way to pertain to Iowan relation. With Questions, probably.

I have not put ads on those. I am not sure about that issue. Mostly because I still edit and rearrange quite alot. I am still in the student stage of being a blogger.


Heins
Juergen Heinrich Wilhelm Meyer married Maria Dorothea Heins from Bergen kries Celle in another area of the Luneburg Stadt so I started another blog mostly dedicated to that Bergen Celle and Soltau, Fallingbostel, which is area west of Uelzen,Bleckede and the Goehrde land. Much further east than the east side of the Elbe river. You can see it at this link.

Note:
I havediscovered that I made an genealogical error with these ANCESTORS of Maria Dorothea ( Heins ) Meyer" And I will need to get back there and mend the errors. that data is all correct, just the direct lineage is wrongly protrayed

Links to links - Taeger - Genealogy [ von Nahrendorf]

I am feeling good about the link. It's worth a look and I would like it to be clickable.
I really am thrilled to find a blogger in Nahrendorf. And are Taeger. I only have a maybe Taeger in my family. But I do have a name. Williams child - Wilhelmina held connections to the possibility of the Taeger name. It is posted a little ways back.

 I posted this information, as I discussed the godparents of his children. The name was Dorothea Elisabeth Taeger, a Hauslers frau at Nahrendorf. Other surname were Konau, Meyer at Sammatz, and Burmester. I do have Luhmann located at Sammatz as well. It is good blog. Check it out.

I may have to learn how to attach his link, when there is no tag "create a link"

So click on the title.

Iowan Barn Quilts links to Community Family crafts

This male blogger from North Carolina is interested in the quilting art. I for one, am so glad to see this posting about the quilts in Farnhamville. If I had not seen the pictures that he has posted; I would not have believed that the people of our Farnhamville actually have the quilts on their buildings. Wonderful.
See for yourself.

HOW MANY MILES IS IT TO NAHRENDORF, AS THE CROW FLIES?

a rootdigger
I have this Direction sign and you can see, I don't know the answer. I know which way is East!
Can anyone help?


THE CHURCH at NAHRENDORF Many of our ancestors and their spouses came from Oldendorf by Nahrendorf and other villages near by. Many of them in the surrounding area attended that same church in Nahrendorf. Okay, I can't put all the villages on this pole, so we'll just have to 'make do' with Nahrendorf on the post.

Since you might be interested in some residents of Nahrendorf in those days of our Ancestor Meyer; I decided to post a scan of the page of Nahrendorf's hofs and kotes that had I received from a friend taken from Hch. Borstelman's book "Beitraege zu Hof und familiengeschichte des aelten Bleckede".[The link is just a place that mentions it.]
This is a record of Hof three at Nahrendorf.


Borstelmann's work sent from Germany
I see the print remained a little small. I shall see, if I can redo it soon a bit larger. My scanner and Printer is misbehaving the last couple of days, so I think I should avoid using them. We'll see in a bit. I'll see, if I can transcribe it and put that here. [I may not get every word, but close.] I will see, if I can round up more of the hof records for Nahrendorf. Hof 2.


NAHRENDORF RESIDENTS FROM OUR FAMILY TREE
In the early years we had The Brese member joining the Luhmann family at Eichdorf from Nahrendorf. And it again with Anne Maria Reinecke's mother. Anna Maria Reinecke, who was also from Nahrendorf. There were others.


INHABITANTS OF THE HOFS AND KOTES
I may have to explain more about the information in the book at another time. You may know in the hof records, we may only see the male landowners names.When the son takes over the farm it usually mentions who his wife is as he does so. Usually it is the first born male's name of the next of kin who takes ownership. Unless there is a death or the first born son has made some other choice. Which I doubt he would do. In later years they could immigrate. In any case the other children either stay and do work for the eldest; or maybe bring income home from labor elsewhere. Many times they don't want to be under the rule of the eldest. So they leave home and take on the role of shepherd or some other occupation that they can learn the skill. Other occupations such as Schumacher, Schneider or something with a guild is not easily acquired. One needs to know the effect of the rules of inheritance/ marriages and how it involve those who lived at the Hofs.
When I understand the customs of inheritance a little then at least I can predict or imagine the outcomes. It all helps to find family.


THOUGHTS ABOUT INHERITANCE, CUSTOMS AND THE MEYERS
A good example of the Meyer/Luhmann family and their heritage is to be seen at the page on the HalbHof 2 in Eichdorf;. Now it is a part of Nahrendorf territory but it is shown on a different page. The Land was handed down through the family. One can learn more by following the church records than that little paragraph that Heinrich Borstelmann has of Eichdorf. Though the two together is good. Often some information I relay/share with you will contain information as a result of some custom or inheritance.


I find it feeds my imagination about my ancestors to learn all those little helpful tidbits of info that went with their lives. Such as what choices the older men and women folks had, when their sons took over or when their spouse passed. I am always glad to pick up information like this that people want to share with me.?? [Hint]


Well, this is enough of reading between the lines for me. You can read what ever you want into the evidence that I have presented today. Evidence of Land owners of Hof 3 in Nahrendorf; or my little musings about the families.
I welcome questions and comments, corrections and shares. Email me - arootdigger[at]gmail.com. jo
