Category:Germany to Minnesota

Question

I have a number of ancestors who immigrated into Minnesota from Germany. Hannover, Neidersachsen, essentially places that were parts of Prussia. I’m only looking for generic Germany. Would someone please create the category?

Any profile for a Lemmermann would be included. Lemmermann-8 is one of the more recent.

Kackerbeck, Hannover, Niedersachsen, Deutschland

Thanks!

Answer 1

Category Minnesota, Immigrants from Germany already exists, added it to the profile.

Margaret,

Another case where the inconsistent Category hierarchy got me.

I believe I was navigating through the Germany hierarchy, where “to Kentucky” and “to Pennsylvania” may be found. Of course the Category “to Minnesota” isn’t there, is it?

I feel like Charlie Brown trying to kick the football. :-(

Thanks for taking care of that profile. Only another couple dozen to go. If I knew enough to create the profiles, I’d have a great chance with latest BioBuilders challenge. :-D

If you use the category picker tool in edit mode in the profile, type in Germany and Minnesota, the category would have come up.

I’m more of a vu kind of guy. And I haven’t had much luck with the picker. I frequently have to play with it to get Categories I already know exist. And, quite honestly, if Categories had been named as policy indicates, the hierarchies would flow as they should on the lists.

My opinion.

You would also find it in the Migration hierarchy, under United States, Immigrants, then, Minnesota, Immigrants
