I am looking for an friend of mine that I lost contact with about 4 years
ago and his old phone number in Wisconsin no longer works.

His name is Wayne Pochowski and he last was in Milwaulkee(sp?)
Wisconsin when I last spoke to him.  He might be staying with his
parents or he might have his own place since back then he was attending
a university (I do not recall which one).

Please email any names/numbers/etc... that you might find of the
Pochowski family in those 2 states.

Thanks!

I purchased Edna M. Bentz's book a couple of months ago ("If I Can You Can
Decipher Germanic Records").  It was $10.00 direct from the author, plus
$2.00 postage and handling (and Calif. residents add 7 percent sales tax).
It deals with German, Danish, and Latin, and the various old scripts.

.Thanks for your reply about the Wegweiser book.  I searched the

.Obviously I need a longer title?

I think I may have left people slightly confused as to which book I'm talking 
about.

It's German title is the abbreviation of the above named organization of East 
German Genealogists: AGoFF-Wegweiser - English Edition

It may also be found as:

'Genealogical Guide to German Ancestors from East Germany and Eastern Europe'

It is published by:

Verlag Degener & Co.,Ihh. Gerhard Geszner
1984 - Neustadt/Aisch, Germany


.My thoughts were that I would like to find it on libray loan and
.copy the pages I found interesting.  I'm not really sure if the
.book could be of use to me.  I would be most interested in
.the English version.  If I can't find it on loan I would like
.I wonder if you will find it.  It may very well be out of print.
.Could you supply me with a more complete title?  Author?

The first 65 pages treat East & West Prussia, Pomerania and East Brandenburg 
exhaustively. Then the book goes on with Silesia and other German settlements 
to the east.

Subject:      Funeral home records

Hi to Roots searchers!
   I know that funeral home records are not always available, but I
wanted to remind folks about the possibility of them being very
helpful after my recent success.  I had a gg-uncle who I knew was
buried in Republic, MO.  His gravestone only listed his Civil War
service unit.  The MO State Office of Vital Records had no record
of his death ( and they had generously search through 16 years!).
And the VA had lost his pension records which were not at the `
National Archives, either.  Fortunately, Republic is a small place,
and I called the only funeral home there.  They had the old records, even
though at the time it was not the same company.  For just a SASE
they sent me a photocopy of a detailed record telling where and
when he died, cause, etc.  (It was in Kansas City, KS.)  I'm not
going to bother getting a death certificate as this has all the
information I need to try and track down an obituary.
   Of course, in contrast, my hometown funeral home in Lancaster,
NY, destroyed all their old records that they inherited from the
prior company on the site, so you can't always be that lucky!
When I am in that area at the end of the week I may check out
another establishment where other relatives spent their final
days above ground.  Have others found this sort of record
useful?

Subject:      Lincoln and the Illinois-Michigan Canal...
Comments: To: Roots-L@vm1.nodak.edu

Since the topic came up.. here is a little "oral history":

Lincoln Speaking before the House of Representatives June 20, 1848
to override the veto by President Polk of the civil and diplomatic
appropriation bill because it contained money for "internal improvements"
which (in President Polk's view) should be left to the states... as
the benefits would be local.

..."Nothing is so local as to not be of some general benefit. Take, for
instance, the Illinois and Michigan canal. Considered apart from its
effects, it is perfectly local. Every inch of it is within the state of
Illinois. That canal was first opened for business last April. In a very
few days we were gratified to learn, among other things, that sugar had
been carried from New Orleans through this canal to Buffalo in New York.
This sugar took this route doubtless because it was cheaper than the old
route. Supposing the benefit of the reduction in the cost of carriage
to be shared between the seller and the buyer, the result is, that in
New Orleans the merchant sold his sugar a little dearer; and the people
of Buffalo sweetened their coffee a little cheaper, than before -- a
benefit resulting from the canal, not to Illinois where the canal is,
but to Louisiana and New York where it is not. In other transactions
Illinois will, of course, have her share, and perhaps the larger share
too, in the benefits of the canal; but the instance of the sugar clearly
shows that the benefits of an improvement, are by no means confined to
the particular locality of the improvement itself...."

She is researching a Paul or Alexander VIEL, her problem is that he was born on
a ship going to France.  His parents lived in New Orleans, LA USA.  She figures
that he would have been bapitized at the first Catholic church that they would
have come to in France.  The date is 1840-1850.  Also any other info on VIELs
(especially prior to 1840) would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks much.

Hi Peter,
Personal Roots sounds quite good from what you've said, but if it doesn't come with GEDCOM, the "industry standard" for transferring data between genealogy programs, that is a very serious flaw indeed...  If it did have GEDCOM, it would be a simple matter to GEDCOM data out of PR, and into BK.

Summary: the Genealogical guide

Where do I get all that wonderful information from about German sources?

The Society of East German Genealogists published the Wegweiser or guide to 
sources within that particular area. It is published both in English and 
German.

I have just received this book via interlibrary loan and it a wealth of 
information. The publisher is apparently the main source of genealogical work 
in Germany and I'm going to try to visit there next month to see first hand 
what they all have. The place is just NW of Nuernberg and way out of my way, 
but this seems to be important enough not to miss. I mean this in context with 
sharing information with all of you who have all this difficulty in finding 
info about folks from the former Prussia.

The booklet is about 160 pages and if anybody would like I could pick up some 
copies. I have no idea how much these are but I assume between 10 & 20 dollars 
as these are specialty books in limited publication. If the demand is not too 
heavy I can probably bring around 10 or so with me and then ship them to you 
when I get back. Send me 10 bucks to my home address below and I'll 
temporarily cover any difference or rebate any excess amount whatever the case
may be. The booklet has many maps and hundreds of addresses and phone numbers.

It also invites anyone interested in the Genealogy of the area to join the 
group and receive their mailings and newsletters. They seem to be all 
volunteers but also have some professional staff for publications. The annual 
fee is 40DM (around $30). Obviously a knowledge of German would help to read 
all their stuff.

Hello one and all!

I'd like to thank any replies in advance, for any help to expand my
tree is more than gratefully received.  What I need to do, is relate to
you a short tale of family lore I just recently discovered.  If it rings
any bells for you, I would appreciate hearing from you.

This story is related in the memoirs of a decendant of Stephen Manley
NIX born in or around HASTINGS COUNTY, ONTARIO on February 19, 1851. He
married Amelia HOARD on February 20, 1872.  She was born about 1855. The
clue that I need help with is the origins of the NIX clan in North
America.  According to these memoirs, two brothers brought their families
from ENGLAND to the new world in 1783.  During the revolution, one of the
brothers remained loyal to the empire migrating to CANADA and founded
that chain.  The other remained in the U.S. with his family.

I don't have as much access to American records as those readers who are
already there.  If anyone reading has any knowledge or insight into this
family, their response will be most welcome.
