Thank You Marilyn. On the rootsweb listings there is no list for Saxony.
One listing for Sachsen(anhalt) so I thought perhaps Sachsen was a German
form
of Saxony.....guess not. Sorry to have botherd you folks.
Hi Fred
Sorry, but that's not correct. Rootsweb has a list which (besides other
smaller former German states) also deals with Sachsen (the Kingdom of
Saxony): German-Kingdoms-L.
Also, at Rootsweb, there's a Prussia-Roots-L which deals with all the
provinces of former Prussia, e.g. Provinz Schlesien, Ostpreu�en,
Westpreu�en, Schleswig-Holstein, Pommern, Hannover, Rheinprovinz,
Hessen-Nassau, ..., and also Provinz Sachsen (Province of Saxony, since
1815), which more or less covered the area which today is called
Sachsen-Anhalt ...
There had been three "Sachsen" in Germany: the Kingdom of Saxony (K�nigreich
Sachsen, which since 1815 covered the area today called Sachsen), the
Prussian Province of Saxony (Preu�ische Provinz Sachsen) and the Saxonian
Duchies (S�chsische Herzogt�mer), covering most of the current Thuringian
area (see also on German-Kingdoms-L).
Greetings.
