Request for help

Dear Carol,

Thank you for your interesting email. My Gottschalks were from either
the Uckermark or Mecklenburg, depending on where the borders were at
the particular time.

The oldest Gottschalk I have on my family tree is as follows:-

GEORG MICHAEL FRIEDRICH GOTTSCHALK born circa 1766 in
Fredenwalde Uckermark/Mecklenburg
Died circa 1796 also in Fredenwalde

He married

FRIEDERIKE WAGENKNECHT in 1786

We know of at least 2 children from this marriage.

These were:-

(1) MARIE CHRISTINE GOTTSCHALK born circa 1792 died 1856 in
Stegelitz Uckermark/Mecklenburg

She married ADAM STUHMER and one of their sons was a MARTIN
FRIEDRICH STUMER , my Great Great Grandfather who emigrated to
Australia.
She had a total of 8 children that we know of.

(2) HANA CHARLOTTE GOTTSCHALK
Unfortunately we know nothing further on this child.

Now for my SCHROEDER connections.

It would appear that the surname
SCHROEDER/SCHRODTER/SCHROEDTER and other variants is as
common in Germany as the English name Smith is here in Australia.

I have SCHROETER relations from the German states of West Prussia,
Mecklenburg , Brandenburg as well as from Hanover.

There are really too many to detail in this email. I also think I have found
a possible link between my Mecklenburg SCHROETERS and my
Brandenburg SCHRODERS, but I will need to research this more to prove
it.

I am going to Germany on a holiday next year and maybe if I can find out
exactly where the old records are for Brandenburg as well as
Mecklenburg in Germany , then maybe I will be able to prove this theory.

I would be very interested to see more of your Gottschalk and Schroeder
families so are you able to make up a GEDCOM or an RTF file and email
them? If you are interested in any detailed information of my
Schroedter's let me know.

Once again great to hear from you and I look forward to hearing from you
again

Regards
