Hi,
until now, I store all my data in Brotherskeeper-Gen-Database, and I convert it with ged2html into internet pages in html. For ged2htlm I had to pay for the licence. Now, I found ged2web:
http://www.oramwt.demon.co.uk/GED2WEB/ged2web.htm
It is consting nothing, you only have to register, it is easier to use, and it is -my opinion- better, since you can get also for each person ancestor and descendents chars. I'll put it soon also on my page.
Ciao
Bernd

George:	I also wrote last year and they were responsive and
helpful then.  I just spent 2 weeks in Unter Franken and a day in
Wurzburg.  Suggest you check carefully the street address, hours, whether
an appointment is needed, and holidays, before going - I had trouble with
the Staatsarchiv on my trip in all those areas.  I know that
Diozesan-Archiv is microfilming records from my Eichenbuhl church now.

he doesn't speak English, but his wife sorta does! He's not young, and doesn't

Hi, I contacted Mrs. Uhlich in Wuerzburg, and she told me that she is only researching on her own behalf, and not working as professional genealogist. Well, that leaves me with the problem that I need somebody to go to the archive at Wuerzburg to look up some things for me. Who might help me??
Ciao
Bernd

Karen,

Pardon me for butting in, but I had a Wuerzburg genealogist recommended to
me several years ago by a knowledgeable person at the Family History
Library in Salt Lake City. I have not personally used this person, but she
might be a useful resource for you:

Diethild Uhlich
Crevennastr. 10
97072 Würzburg
Germany
Genealogist for hire, ~$25/hour
0931/56814

I also had the two following people recommended to me last August as "fully
qualified" with rates set by an "offical ordinance". Again, I have no
personal experience

Dr. Dirk Rosenstock, Uhlanderstr. 11, 97072, Würzburg
Dr. Ekkard Schöffler, Bohnesmühlgasse 2, 97070 Würzburg

I plan to visit the Diocesan Archive in Würzburg this fall. I would much
appreciate anything you can tell me about your experiences.

Schwabach is a fairly sizeable city just south of Nürnburg. I'm not
perfectly sure whether this is in Franconia, but it is certainly. It is
most likely in the part called Oberfranken.

There is also a small place called Schwabbach, located just off the A6
Autobahn east of Heilbronn.

Good hunting,

From: Claus Hummel <CHummel(a)t-online.de>

Hi Bernice Hinz!

There is really a small city named Schwabach in Franconia, exactly in
Mittelfranken (middle franconia). You can find Schwabach 16 kilometres south
of Nuremberg (the town with the famous Christkindlesmarkt, Hans Sachs,
Albrecht Duerer, Bratwurst).
In the moment I don't know a english book about Schwabach. If you speak
german I can send you a booklet for free. Most books are written by Heinrich
Schlüpfinger and cost between 30 and 50 (DM) german marks.
You can find some more infos on my website www.santa-claus.de/sc.htm or on
the official Schwabach site www.schwabach.de

Greetings

Books on Bischofsheim

From: Ruth & Steve <taylorsr(a)snip.net>

Just curious...  I know there is a Papier Schonder in Bischofsheim and I
think Hans Schonder sells books too.
Anyone from Germany know of this store and what kind of books he sells.
There are 3 Schonder stores next to one another.
Schuh Schonder (Emil Schonder), Schonder Foto (Ralph Schonder) and Papier
Schonder (Hans Schonder)
I only know this because 3 years ago I found Hans' son Matthias on the
internet and he told me about it, but I don't have contact with him anymore.

All Schonder's to date in the US have ties to the town of Bischofsheim which
I think is in unten Franken/lower Franconia.

Hello Richard,

try http://www.dcn.davis.ca.us/~feefhs/maps/gerw/gw-nbav.html and you will
find a historic map of northern Bavaria about 1850.
The borders between the bavarian government districts are today only a
little bit different. The greatest parts are similar.

From: Karla Nurnberg <muessidenn(a)yahoo.com>

Hi,
    My husband's family lines are in Geiselbach and Omersbach in
Unterfranken. His great-grandfather, Lorenz Rienecker was the son of
Johann Rienecker and Anna Maria Voelker. Johann and Anna Maria later
emigrated to Brooklyn, N.Y. About 1885 Lorenz, his wife, Agatha
Hornung, and their seven children emigrated to Brooklyn. Lorenz, his
parents and siblings were born in Geiselbach. His wife and children
were born in Omersbach.
    I received more information from writing to the State Archives of
Unterfranken. They gave me the name
of Johann and Anna Maria's parents. Johann's parents were Johann Adam
Rienecker and Barbara Heilmann, who were probably born in the 1770's.
(I also got information about Barbara's death date, so she was probably
born about 1774.) The parents of Anna Maria Voelker were Johann Voelker
and Eva Ries. (Again the archives had her death record, so I estimated
that she was born about 1791.) Are any of you descendants of any of
these people? I will share any Rienecker information that I have, if
you are.
    My husband's great-grandmother, Agatha Hornung was born in 1843 in
Omersbach. Her mother was Anna Maria Hornung. Several years ago when we
first found out that 
these people came from Omersbach we began to correspond with a Hornung
family there. He told us that his great grandfather had taken my
husband's great-grandparents and their children to Bremen in a little
cattle wagon.
Is anyone looking for the Hornung family of Omersbach.
    The Address for the State Archives is as follows:
Staatsarchiv Wuerzburg, 97034 Wuerzburg, Germany. If you have an exact
birthplace for your ancestor, they might be able to help you. 
    Thank you for any help that you can give me.

                               Karla Nurnberg

Genealogy network Report No 2

Date: 1999/06/29 22:23:52
From: Reinhold Herrmann <rainer(a)retsys.eics.com>



                        The Genealogy Network
                        Report Nr 2 June 1999
                        ----------------------

Dear friends of Genealogy Net,

Genealogy Network depends on your help !

Since October 1996 via genealogy.net we support genealogy in the German
research area in the internet.

Our service is based on:
+       Webpages on German genealogy 

        Server: www.genealogy.net      in Kerpen, Germany
                www2.genealogy.net     in Giessen, Germany
                german.genealogy.net   in Clovis, CA, USA

+       Mailing lists

        a) Mailing lists of  German and Swiss Genealogy organisations

                Several organisations sponsor Genealogy Network with DM 200.
                annually.
                Many thanks !

        b) Regional mailing lists 
        
        c) Surname mailing lists (in preparation)

        If you would like to know more about the mailing lists please write to
         "majordom(a)genealogy.net"

        Server: majordomo(a)genealogy.net  in Kerpen, Germany

+       private genealogy homepages 

        Server: www.genealogy.net/privat/       in Kerpen, Germany
        
        Private genealogy homepages are advertising-free since we do not
        wish to overload their
        important content with unessentials;
        as well, these private homepages feature in our
        "What's new" service.

        For this, the owners of the private pages sponsor Genealogy Net
        with DM 60.00 annually.

        Many thanks !

        If you would like to know more about the private genealogy homepages
        please write to 
        "sponsor(a)genealogy.net"

+       genealogy URL database
        
        At the moment the genealogy URL database lists over 300 links to
        private genealogy homepages. 
        Each entry is examined before being added to the database.
        Entries which do not consist primarily of personal genealogical
        material are not accepted.
        As well, those pages are rejected whose Java scripts contain 
        errors which lead to error messages on various  
        browsers or which try to access the client's computer.

        Owners of rejected pages are not notified. If a few days after
        you have sent your URL to the database it does not appear,
        please examine the content of your page as well as the Java 
        programing. If you yourself have not used any Java scripts in
        your page, then your page has been rejected because of the faulty
        Java script in the advertisements of your provider.

        The entire database can be viewed at:
        http://www.genealogy.net/cgi-bin/w3-msql/forms/okurl.html

        Server:  www.genealogy.net      in Kerpen, Germany
