Dear Marie
I got really excited when I read your e-mail. I have found many of my
Vierek's in Schorrentin. I would love to have a copy of the fotos of
Schorrentin. Happy to pay whatever costs you incur.
Also, I have been trying to locate the property that the Viereck's owned in
Schorrentin and thereabouts. Wrote to the Archives in Dargun trying to get a
copy of land records, but to no avail. Would be very very greatful for
whatever information you can give me on the properties there that they owned.
I searched through the copies of the church records I have from the Church in
Schorrentin, looking for your Huebbe surname. I was not able to find them in
the records I copied. However, I copied only the ones I was interested in.
As I am researching my Vierecks, I will keep in mind your Huebbe surname and
will let you know if I come across it. I'll be going to Salt Lake City in
the fall to do some in depth research on my Viereck surname. Who knows what
I'll run into.

Dear Irma!
I enjoy that you like to get my fotos and it doesn't cost anything! Because the files are large I splitted the 14 pages and I will send them one and the next. So please tell me which ones you get and then I will send the next ones. I will start with page 1 and the last one is page 14. Because I fear that your mailbox will stop to work with such large files I will make a break and wait until you say - all okay.

I can imagen that that is a difficult thing. Let me try to explain my thoughts about this: I think you know a little about the german history after WWII. In 1989/90 the reunion took place and one of the following things were that many people who lost their farmes or manufactories in the former GDR tried to get their former possession back. So many ideas about new things and deverlopments around 1990 couldn't start because nobody knew who was/is the nowadays owner of a house or land or so. In some cases the former owner themselfe started new things, in some cases the former owners sold their houses / land. But live had gone on after 1945 in the GDR (too) and so the owners of houses changed during the years and now after 1990 they feared that people from other places will come and say: stop! this is mine! These people are called "Alteigent�mer" (former-owners) and when somebody is asking things like "Who is the owner of ..." some people fear that the next sentencve will be "I'm a memeber of the family who is the real owner and I want to get this possession back!". Sometimes it is difficult to explain that it is interest in historical questions which makes that one is interested in the possession of a special family.
I'm born in the former GDR in 1953 but my parents left the area near Malchin in summer 1953. So I grew up in the western part of Germany. I started to do genealogy in 1990 and in one year I took my camera and took fotos of all the small villages my ancestors lived in espacially in the area around Malchin and Dargun. I took fotos of the churches because I think that is the only place I can found today of wghich I can be sure that it was part of the life of my ancestors too. I cann't find at which farm or in which house they lived (because they had been daylaborers not owners of an estate) but I can be sure that they married in this church ... When I was walking around the church sometimes somebody asked me what I was doing there - then it was important for me to tell that my interest for this village came about my ancestors one or two-hundret years ago and of historical interest and not because I would have been a memeber of a family which was driven away after 1945.
Oh - I hope it is possible to understand what I mean. It is very difficult to tell this in English!!!
Another possibility for you to learn something about the life of the Vierecks could be to come in contact with living Viereggs from Schorrentin. Nowadays there are no Viereggs living in Schorrentin they had to leave after 1945 but may be there are familiy members living in other parts of the world. May be they know something about the family history.
In which century your yoiungest Vieregg-ancestors lived?
As I am researching my Vierecks, I will keep in mind your Huebbe surname and will let you know if I come across it.
Thank you!
I'll be going to Salt Lake City in the fall to do some in depth research on my Viereck surname. Who knows what I'll run into.
I will go to Mecklenburg during the summer vacation time in the end of June - I'm planning in this way and then I will go to Schwerin to the church archive. When you tell me what you know about your ancestors I can look when I'm reading the Schorrentin films for your ancestors too.
There are still two Vieregg-grave stone in the area of the church but I don't remember the text. Perhaps I will go to Schorrentin in the summer then I will copy the text. But I think he stone are not historical ones. I'm sure they are from the time during the 20th century.
Oh - my English isn't good today in the morning,. If there is something you cann't understand please ask I will try to explain a second time.
Enough for this moment!
With the next mails I will send page 1 to page 4 and then I will make a brake.
Many greetings!
