I have several families that came from Plettenberg about 1840 -Conze, Becker, and Niedersterman they immigrated to Watertown Wisconsin and intermarried with my Kiessling ancestors in Wisconsin. I would like to exchange information with anybody researching these families in Germany and share the families later activities in Wisconsin and the rest of the USA

Are you up early there in Germany?

Hi Roland, it is 9 a.m. on our side, but it seems to be late night on your side. :wink:
Have fun!

Okay so now I know it’s 8 hours difference between us and I can plan my conversations with anybody in Deutschland!

6

I have to renew and improve my German skill that I obtained at the Goethe Institute in OBB 1974 .
Please accept my apologies for using only English for the time being!

7

Is there a forum where I can find help for all the different provinces in Germany where my ancestors came from. My ancestors came from West Prussia Slesvig , Westphalia, Saxony, Bavaria, Baden,Brandenburg and perhaps some others in addition to Norway Denmark and Sussex

8

According to ancestry.com I have 7,000 Plus individuals in my family tree.

Roland,
then first I would propose to join several „categories“ under discourse here at Compgen. E. g.:
„famnord“ for Schleswig (your Slesvig)
„bavaria-l“ for Bayern (your Bavaria)
„sachsen-l“ for Sachsen (your Saxony)
„brandenburg-l“
There might be further more not self-explaining with their names… May others add something!
For Norway, Denmark and Sussex other experts are here or at the overall category „compgen-l“.
For West-Prussia, I would propose to have a look at www.westpreussen.de. This might be not free of charge.
If you need more support let me know. On details about your family tree I suppose not to be of help as I do not know all the names. :wink:
Regards,
Frank

I have ancestors family name Conze changed to Kunz after arrival in USA from Plettenberg

16

Then you should place specific questions and I am convinced that you will get answers or helpful hints for own research here.
