HAPPY EASTER

Well hello. I'll be around this Weedend posting and fixing a few things like usual. I can't say there will be a grand post because of a few things to take care of  around the house with family etc. More on that later, I guess. So just wanted to say:
Happy Easter.
While showing  a guy who liked his chicks.
 Big small made no difference. Meet my Dad as a small lad.

Goggle's Lazy Search Box Has Been Removed


My frustrating lazy search box -  I just don't need a lazy non working search box.
My gadgets need to work for me. Or they are out of the picture.Sent to pasture, into retirement.

I  don't know how long my search box will stay in retirement. It just wasn't up to par as it was in the older days. I read  this reason this morning,   which said not to frustrate the viewers; so I decided since it frustrated me, it must be annoying my viewers. I had a link on it that was mistakenly added and that clued me in as of late. So I removed it and added it and then it refused to work. Maybe retirement will reveal better solutions. Or even a more organized blog.

Another solution-
-I will have to get busy and add some special Page links. This blog space to the left is a little limited, so I am still thinking of adding top buttons.



I know,  I have to admit google results aren't all that pleasing either, I will have to figure out how to fix that too.

Readers Searching Means for Genealogy and Family History


Sometimes I have to just sit, naturally I grab the laptop,  and 'google browse'  a few names. It's good  for me and I have to admit it takes a lot of your time to be successful. Each time I do so;  I  mentally recall that I found Dorothea Luhmann that way, although I was searching the graves and used various versions of the Luhmann name.= Lumann. It keeps me going page after page.. But there are better ways to search  genealogy I realize now..

Your probably already acquainted about how to do good google searches. I admit I only know the basic. I know those supplied by ancestry for your object of pursuit or guy are quick and rather unsatisfying.   Yah, that's a dig. Anyway, I am getting to the idea of  social media tools. It was evident as I looked at my audience to  see one used on this blog.  An example is # 6.

My audiences for one day:

1- Google search. A search example was used with 'Von Sporcken' and maybe 'Horndorf '= http://suche.gmx.net/web? powered by google. I can't help wonder who was using that to search Joachim Friedrich VON LüNEBURG spörcken . I have the surname And dealing with german history, I do have the names 'von spoercken'  through out the weblog because they were noble landowners back in the day of early history. (geshichte.) [I'm going to enjoy reading what it turns up].

2- mywebsearch powerd by Google. It's  set up-- the surname Ahrens  and "family history" category in the search box. without the quotes.
[I put in the name "Meyer" added location California at the end,  so I  can  pursue that this evening with Oregon and Idaho added later on.]

3- Alta Vista was used to search "Kruskop Langenbrügge" I had that on my index of  F-L villages by Oldendorf and Nahrendorf. My information came from Aidaonline Niedersachen. Only six entries  with  that search entry.  Can you imagine with all my cookies how many pages there could have been  given for that, if I had googled it normally.

4- google.de/url brought my Rosseburg of Oldendorf page  to their attention.

5- http://isearch.avg.com/search  [secure search] Subject brought up " Häusling u. Pächter, Germany"

6- Dell's Social Media- Listening Dashboard. Thiswould be  a topic  worth a mini series in the making and worth it. I wonder who it was for;  what kind of commercial media was using it;  what tag was used;  and what page it brought forth.

7- http://search.seznam.cz/?q=albert+kersche&count=10&pId=8mJGf-YqwZ2pvjMoE2jy&from=11
It picked up the name Albert at my blog.  [Most of these  found are not tagged words.]  It provides pictures of the website. Pretty good with 28 entries.
.I changed the search. I entered the words  Seil and later added Blog and nothing that pertained to my blogs appeared  but i only clicked every other number. . However quotes around "Mike Coon"  Iowa; Gave me a little insight into his possible address..

8- Yahoo search engine brought me up through this query-
"Gesche Catharina KOOPMANN GENEALOGY"
It seems to be all genealogy based searches. Again it brought up my entry at F- L list of surnames of the villages of Niedersachen. also M-n-o-p-Q list.
Changing the  subject to "Neetzendorf and Genealogy"  without quotes and my weblogs  appeared.  
This site is worth a investigation at a later time = grabsteine.genealogy.net/indilist.php?nachname=EVERS&b=E

9- Google Übersetzer=http://genealogyofoldendorfundnahrendorf.blogspot.com/2010/09/pp71-marienau-moislingen-mucklingen_04.html                                                          http://translate.google.de/translate? depth=1&ei=9Co1UdefGcXktQa2i4HYAw&hl=de&prev=/search%3Fq%3Dgeschichte%2Bdes%2BRittergutes%2Bhorndorf%26start%3D20%26hl%3Dde%26client%3Dsafari%26sa%3DN%26noj%3D1%26biw%3D769%26bih%3D496&sl=en&u=http://genealogyofoldendorfundnahrendorf.blogspot.com/2010/09/pp71-marienau-moislingen-mucklingen_04.html

Irregardless of SEO and Money advancement ad words;  I believe the traffic is due to the luck of the draw.
At the time of the search,   it's whomever is interested in the same surnames as I and  places as I am.
I am hopeful that sooner or later it will bring in the right descendant of an ancestor.Who will contact me and say were related or someone in the know about my family history.  In fact I still need to and should have already contacted Jim Zubel who said he had information about our Fred Meyer of Churdan Iowa. If your reading Jim, I will get in touch.

- I  put a couple of these blog posts shown  here on hold for my own reasons. they will be back soon.
- Keep in mind  that most of my readers lately have been spammers and those with websites that use others links to get them ahead in their game.

- I had to be careful because one searcher on my  another blog carried malware. Or at least I received a warning he was affiliated with another who had it.
- The day before  this post I had 600 viewers on my other blog.  That was a shocker. I have my hunch why,  but can't really say. It's probably the websites that feed the spammers info.

More on Family history of the [ August] Grote, Naefke, and Ahrens,


My genealogy information to share with you today is taken from the register of Early Members of Christ Lutheran church of Greene county, Iowa. At the time of these early settling ancestors it was called the St Peters church.

I felt I had to share these record because recently I had an inquiry about the Grote family involved with our William Meyer [my first male Meyer born Oldendorf] son of Juergen Hch. Wilhelm Meyer born 1843 at Eichdorf..

I had included the information at Ancestry from the Meyer book information which Verl Matthews sports in his Ancestry work at Ancestry.com. I now have decided it is about time to resubmit the copies of the St. Peters church records that I have had tucked away in a box. I dug them out tonight and so you can see it.

Their are Seil entries with Kanning. More on that at a later time.

*There are a few more entries in the church records of the Naefke name, but were not indexed. As for some to the other names, it more or less said, too numerous to index.





Notice:
It is alittle bit unusual that both children would have same date of birth, but each with a different year of birth. Could it be a mistake?

* Note: Cathatine must be Catharine.

By the way Jurgen Heinrich Friedrich Meyer origination location was said to be Oldendorf Amt. Bleckede Prov. Hannover and wife Maria Dorotheea Margarethe Schenk from Bleckede Prov. I have not found her origination village as of yet.

Source: St Peter and Church of Christ Lutheran church of Calhoun county, Iowa. It was Near Farnhamville, Iowa.

Randolph county Arkansas - Family surname Grote; Familienname Grote

Randolph county Arkansas was named after a Virginia statesman, John Randolph, who claimed he was a descendant from Princess Pochahontas. The county seat is named Pochahontas. The county was created 29.Oct.1835 from part of Lawrence county.

According to the Grote family history, our Grote family resided at Elm Store, Randolph county. You will find that town in the somewhat upper left corner of the map. It is North of Pochahontas near the Mo. border.

I hope we can find the many village locations on the county map. I thought would be nice to see just where they lived.

Note: The Calhoun county Historical book compiled by the Historical Society of Rockwell city gives information that the family Grote lived at Wirth in Arkansas.

I find it interesting to think that another family member resided at Pochahontas, Pochantas county Iowa. [Jaeschke and Nowack family members] I wonder what the reason was for that name for the county. I should find out.
