Hello, list members
On a old letter I saw, it tells of relatives in Gorgasshetten, Germany. I
cannot find this place on my German map or doing a google search. The name was
printed in good handwriting but I feel the writer may have mispelled.
Any help or hints will be appreciated.
Thanks

Hello Richard,
I tried Gergastetten and Google suggested Geradstetten. It seems to
me that "stetten" is more likely on the end of a word than "shetten". I
don't speak or write German so I could be way off. Is this town supposed to
be in Hannover? If so, then Geradstetten isn't right, because it is in the
Stuttgart area. When the Germans on the list wake up in the morning they'll
probably be able to figure it out.
Good luck!

Hello Richard,
maybe it could be "Georgshuette".
The site www.postleitzahlen.de lists nearly every town in Germany. In "Ort/PLZ" you can search combinations with *, maybe you can find a village that fits.
If you need any help send me a mail.
Best regards

Hallo Jan,
soweit ich wei�, nicht. Allerdings wei� ich f�r Hage/ Schlueter nur wenig, bis zu meinen Gro�eltern, da stehe ich noch am Anfang, Kreis Schaumburg, (Hannover soll auch mit dabei sein).
Bisler/ Busse sind Deutsche, die aus Polen vertrieben wurden und �berwiegend nach Norddeutschland gekommen sind. Sie sollen auch aus Norddeutschland nach Polen gewandert sein, aber hier habe ich noch nichts verbindliches, ich bin erst um 1800 rum.
Wer wohnt denn in Bersenbr�ck? :-))))
Viele Gr��e

Hi Richard:
I have been having server problems and all I managed to do yesterday is send your own message back to the list without my response.
You stated that the handwriting in the letter was quite good. As a result, I would say that the spelling was probably correct. However, I bet that what you are seeing is not what the author wrote.
Some examples: The high case G in older script German is often a large lower case g. In some cases a high case German script I can appear to be identical to an English high case G.
Also when a double ss occurs after an vowel, a high case B is normally used in place of the ss. I say high case B, because it normally looks more like an B instead of an �, which is the character for the ss.
I suspected that you would receive a number of responses on the List giving you alternative spellings which may be the town you are looking for. That has happened. One of them may be right.
You may want to scan/fax a copy of the letter to someone who can decipher the spelling.
You will not be able to to that on the List, as attachments are normally deleted to prevent executable code (viruses worms etc.) from contaminating the List.
Good Luck,
Gale
