Subject: RE: [HN] Speckman

First off, it is always best to include a subject line. Without one, many 
listers might not even look at your posting, having no idea what it might be

about. I'll put my response under SPECKMAN.

Much like I wrote to Neil in Australia earlier today, it might be best to 
indicate what record searches you have performed to date locally on the 
American side. Without an idea of the city or town your ancestor comes from 
in Germany, you are somewhat like a raft in the middle of the sea. Knowing 
"Hanover" and little more puts you in the Atlantic let's say, as opposed to 
the entire seven seas, but not much further.

In a nutshell, you generally need to exhaust the available records on the 
local (American) side before hoping to jump the pond. Since none of us have 
any idea how much experience you may have, or how many records you have 
availed yourself to so far in this regard, it is hard to pinpoint the best 
approach to take or suggest. Once this is known, listers may offer up 
additional resources or ideas on how to proceed further. Obvious ones are 
records pertaining to vital stats (B-D-M), burials, obituaries, censuses and

naturalizations. It simply extends in complexity from there. LDS resources 
as well as Internet search engines and genealogical websites are also "must"

checks in ones research arsenal these days.

There is also the often effective method of hiring a professional 
genealogist/researcher on the German side. A number of them - all quite 
competent - are subscribers to this list. Their services are not necessarily

cheap per se, but are still often reasonable due to their expertise with the

German archives and available resources on their end. But here too, unless 
you have a few specifics to offer regarding your antecedents location, you 
may be in over your head, and this will curtail their effectiveness 
likewise. Or at a minimum, pretty much guarantee a larger research nick.
