Congratulation for finding this link to the Frankfurt Glauburgs. I hope the
note you find is proofing trustworthy and pans out correct.
If so, you can trace the Glauburgs back to 13th century as a family of the
Frankfurt townsmanship.
Andreas Hansert: Frankfurter Patrizier (2nd editionto Hans Körners book)
lists the family back to approx 1450. Sry but the books are in German only.
Another source again in German is the Genealogiches Handbuch des Adels
or in addition the Gothaer Taschenbücher des Adels. Both being registers of
the noble families in Germany.
Heinrich Ludwig Glauburg a former officer to the Netherlands was born 10.
May 1753 and died 9. November 1828 in Frankfurt. He was married since 1779
to Margaretha Baur von Eysseneck. Maybe Susanna Streuber was his mistress.
Yes the documents are trustworthy. I actually had ladies researching for me that are in the netherlands and they have gone to the actual records depositories and one is very fluent in German, reading writing and speaking. They also thought I was fighting a losing battle but they kept digging for me and found the in the marriage supplements that are mandatory in the Netherlands. They are going back to the registries and getting official certified documents for me. I think they are as estactic as I am over the find.
thanks for the info.
sincerely Nancy.
P.S. I do have an old friend here born and raised in Germany that has told me to forward anything I get to her and she will translate for me also. it just takes longer as she is not on the computer and we don't live near each other.
I am not questioning that the dutch documents are not officially filed or accepted as trustworthy by the dutch authorities. I am only considering that the source, eg the mayor of Langenlonsheim, was not as honourable or the presenter of the documents falsified them completely in a way the dutch authorities accepted them for real.
Ralph,
Nynke is checking now to see just what we can get from the dutch archives. there were several pages in the 1817 marriage supplement that Annemarth couldn't read due to the script used. she is going to get copies of everything she can. I just know that my father and grandmother are gone, so I can't question them further, and until now all i had to go on were the stories I had heard as a child that led me to my conviction on the connection. Ihave been searching since 92 and some before me. If it hadn't been for the very strict rules on naming your children in the nederlands, and the all the information necessary in order for one to marry, then these documents might never have surfaced. Another thing also is that the archives in frankfurt were partially destroyed in 1944 by fire though I am not very good at deciphering german i understand the glauberg familie history is held partially in two separate locations and is incomplete.
my own mother kept the knowledge of my brother's daughter from him and the rest of us for twenty years. Just because she didn't believe it, but the girl is the spitten image of her half brother and sister. My quest has been to find the truth and hopefully, the documents in the dutch archives will contain at the minimun photo stats of original documents, that a signature might be compared. Yes I do feel that susanna streuber was a mistress as it states "illigitimate child of the unmarried susanna steuber. we will just have to wait and see what else is uncovered, but I can see no point in the girl or the mayor lying just to give a child a name.. he could have denied the child regardless of the girls statement and from what I understand the child couldn't have been given his name. I am wondering if there are records in langenlonsheim that might be checked or if they might have been destroyed during the war. I have a Padberg cousin in cologne
that might be able to answer that question for me. so anyhow, i am awaiting news of what else is in the dutch archives. Based on the information to date, though this is the closest I have come to solving the mystery.
Nancy
