Dear Germany Project member,

it's annual check-in time 2023. If you still wish to remain a member of the Germany Project, please reply to this post, by stating this intention. If we don’t hear from you in the next 30 days, your membership badge will be removed. In this case please don't be offended ... you're welcome to rejoin at any time. Please also note, that in order to receive help, with researching your German ancestors, membership is not mandatory. Just ask your questions in the G2G forum and tag them with Germany in order for knowledgeable people to see them.

If you wish to remain a member, we would like to learn more about your perception of the Germany Project in order to achieve a future development according to our members needs and wishes. For this, we created a survey, which we kindly ask you to fill-in.

In case you want to communicate, discuss and receive help about WikiTree in German, you might want to check out the WikiTree category at Compgen’s Discourse as well as the German Discord server Ahnenforschung.

Of course there’s still the official WikiTree Discord server, where we usually talk English. Feel free to learn more about Discord and the server at Help:Discord.

Kind regards from Black Forest

I would like to remain in the Germany Project. I am a decently involved member of the Gottschee Team and have added hundreds of Gottschee-related profiles this year. I will be continuing this work, whether it be intermittent or not. I have also done work in Mecklenburg and Württemberg.

Please respond to this message by posting a reply below or sending me a private message on WikiTree. In your response, we welcome any feedback you may want to give on the project (what you like about it, what you’d like to see us do, what we could change, etc.)

If you ever have any questions, please ask. I look forward to hearing from you soon!

Hi Stephen, it's been a couple of weeks since asking if you wished to remain in the US Civil War Between the States Project. I'd appreciate you letting me know by the end of February if you desire to remain in the Project. If I haven't heard from you by then, I'll assume you no longer wish to participate. I hope to hear from you soon, thank you.

Best wishes, Traci ~ Germany Project co-leader

I can't be sure that it is my Georg Hirsch, but oh gosh it could fit! Maybe I can persuade my mother to ask my Oma if she recognises the names (she's not always receptive when I have questions, sadly). At the moment I just don't know enough to verify much at all. :(

Hi again!

Here's a list of the records for https://www.familysearch.org/search/catalog/results?count=20&placeId=164652&query=%2Bplace%3A%22Slovenia%2C%20Novo%20mesto%2C%20Novo%20mesto%22&https://www.familysearch.org/search/catalog/search=undefined&subjectsOpen=623050-50,1034436-50,1416836-50,1034442-50,1416948-50

But definetely get the original marriage record from the church! It may have you a lot of time in the long run when you research in Slovenia.

Also I would hit these pages and see if you find them as children in the census for Rudolfswerth. If they gave their last residence as Rudolfswerth, Krain, Austria, I wonder if they are in the 1890 census? https://www.familysearch.org/search/catalog/1202569?availability=Family%20History%20Library

Hello Stephen, I am already impressed with how much you have done already on Matthew Schust, and his family! Great sleauthing (-:

Did you see that he immigrated with a sister (most likely) named "Aloysia" in that Hamburg Passenger list. It's clearly your guy as he was headed to Brocton. But they seem to have an "Uncle" named "Weber" in Brooklyn.

Is St. Francis in Brocton a Catholic church? Did you ever contact the church for their marriage record? You can write them ( with a tiny donation) and ask for a photocopy. Many of the churches in those mining town listed places of birth and the correct spellings of their parents' names because they needed to publish banns in the old country churches in those days. I hope they send you the original ( and instead of a transcription).
