Hello everyone on the list and welcome back to those who have been
away for the summer, I hope you all had a good summer season, and now
we have winter to contend with.
Jane Swan ...can I please ask .In your writings and research on the
History of those who left Germany for other lands ........have you
come across any info on those who left Germany for such places as
S.Africa and Ceylon (now Sri Lanka) via Holland. I have quite a few
German ancestors from Places like Brandenburg and Hannover etc ,who
left for these lands but in doing my genealogy I have hit a brick wall
as to their German heritage. I would like to know more about why and
how they left Germany ? I know you do a lot of this kind of research
for your books which I am also very eager to read, so.......... MJ
wil be buying the Jane Swan trilogy asap !!!
A question also for anyone with the name or researching the name
OERTEL, yes I know there are many Oertels but someone somewhere has to
belong the same family . We can of course exchange info on the Oertel
families when the time comes and the Oertel family members come along
to do so.
Thank you so much for any help,
MaryJane.....................on a wet saturday afternoon in the UK.
