-Richard, Wie geht es Ihnen! I have a question
regarding Emil Herrmann. Have you located yet what part of Berlin Emil was born?
Roger G.... 4/28/2011
answer:
Mir geht es gut! Thank you for asking :-) No I have not found his
origins in Berlin yet. I do not know if he was actually born in Berlin proper or
whether he was born in nearby Potsdam or a similar area. I will be retiring
shortly and expect to spend much time on this puzzle though.

-Hello Richard. May I ask who you are related to
through the Reinking family line and do you know the year they immigrated to the
U.S.?
J. D. Doegle 4/3/2011
answer:
Thanks for writing. Yes, I do know the approximate year my relatives
immigrated, it was about 1858 or 1859. Two different census records. My relative
was my g-grandfather Christian Heinrich Reinking. He married Katharina Hagemann
my g-grandmother who also immigrated the same time per census records. She was
born in Württemberg and Christian was born in Westphalia. I am a grandson of
their
daughter Wilhelmine Reinking. The third child born to Christian and Katharina.

-Richard, your web site helps me very much in my
family research. I was always told that the Modrow name was not really a German
name at all, but most likely a Polish name. You have made it very clear that it
is one of many names for Germans depending on their location in Germany or what
even their family did for a living. Very interesting. Thank you again!
R. Reinke 2/15/2011
answer:
Thank you for viewing the web site. I appreciate your positive comments!
You are absolutely correct. Modrow is as much German as Schmidt for example. The
Modrow's were German Lutheran not Polish. In all due respect for the Polish, I
am just stating that the Modrow's were and are German they just so happen to
live in a once prominent Polish country. As I stated in my data that Friedrich
II annexed that part of Poland in the 1700's as he believed that it was German
territory from hundreds of years prior and of course the Polish had other ideas.
Friedrich made it worth the German families while to inhabit the area by giving
land and money in some cases. I believe from what I have found so far that is
the most likely reason the Modrows and the Eickstaedt's were there.
Please keep checking back. I will be in retirement soon and intend to
start spending much time in genealogy research for family histories and adding
to this web site.
R. Herrmann
-I love your web site. I also enjoyed the pictures,
music and the history. I found family members I didn't even know I had.
Thanks!!

progress to be sure :-)
