I am looking for Wunsch's and Kynast's that came from Glatz in Germany, before it was taken over by Poland

I am not sure where to start. I have my father left of this line and he will not help he thinks I am wasting my time. Maybe he knows something I don't (YET). I am looking for the name RICKERT (Canadian spelling) The stories that I remember are, My grandfather came from Hamburg Germany, he was from an afluent home, but left before the Hitler Rise came into power, and settled in Alberta with some other family until he started to appear in the City records in 1934 in Burnaby, BC Canada. He apparently came over sometime between 1922 to 1934 not sure of actual dates, not even real sure if that was his actual name. There is apparently an actual real spelling to this name RICKERT? RICHER? Is there anyone out there that can actually help me with this?

Hello group, I am interested in Valentine and Lizbeth? Carrick from the Baden area. They came to Baltimore, Maryland by 1850. Believe they were born about 1800-1810.

I am interested in finding out more about the Hempel family. My husband's grandfather came to South Africa in the latter half of the 19th century.

Hi Group, I'm asking for your help in finding out more about my Great Grandmother, Angeline Heeren. I believe she was born in Iowa about March 1856 and died 1937 in Adams Co., Iowa. She married Cornelius Rah (1857-1930) 19 Aug 1876 in Rock Island, Il. What I can't find is her parents. I know they came to America from Germany. I just don't know what their names are or when they came. Do you have a Heeren in your family????

I'm here in search of my Morse/Moers ancestors (West Prussia) and my Fine/Fein ancestors.

I have traced my ancestry back to 1675. Johann Heinrich Erdle born in Triebes, Thuringen, Germany. I am looking for earlier ancestors. Name became Artley in the late 1700's in Pennsylvania.

I am looking for info on Henry Rickle (Rickli, Rickly) born 1836 in Switerland?, Died 4 May 1883 in New City, NY (Clarkstown). Married to Eva Katherin Fetig. I've been trying to link him back to Europe. My confusion stems from one Census listing him as Swiss and another as German. I believe Eva was from Barvaria but I'm not sure if they married before or after coming to the US. I don't have ready access to resources in NY so before I start sending checks out for a wild goose chase I'm trying to post up to different sites.

Thank you so much Michael Boscarato! This is great....I'm looking right this minute....I know I've got relatives in Mettmann Germany and have asked a cousin (several times) for information about my German relatives but as of yet, they haven't replied..

This is very kind of you...thank you once again.

Thank you, Michael. Very interesting site.

I would like to suggest a very useful book on beginning German genealogy. "Be4ginner's Guide to Germanic Genealogy," by Lois Hemmeter Edwards. It is published by the German Genealogy Society. Their webpage is
www.rootsweb.com/~mnggs/GGS.html

It gives ou a step-by-step process to find your german ancestors. The essential steps are:
1. the Name
2. religion
3. birthdate
4. place of origin

The biggest problem is locating the "Place of Origin". To do this, in most cases, you need to use American records.

For those who live near Sacramento, CA, there is help through the Sacramento German Genealogy Society. They have volunteers at the Sacramento Family History Society, every Thursday afternoon from 1-5 pm. The society has over 1000 German, research related books that the FHC.

Carol,

Thank you for that information. I wish I lived near Sacramento, but live across the country. I will definitely look for that book.
