Hi Julie. Thanks for the shoutout!
You’re welcome, Denise!
I am glad you posted the link to the German Genealogy.net. On the first page one can find the great function of a Meta Search (Metasuche). And there is a Forum, which is in German though, but English posts are welcomed and usually answered by members in English. A tip for an inquiry post there: please give as comprehensive information as possible.
Do you know http://www.ahnenforschung.net ? This is similiar to the above, also with a Forum and more specific sections on former German regions in Eastern Europe.
Both forums also have groups on international genealogy, such as Northern America (Nordamerika).
There are posts, in the Pommern section, on the family name (Familienname=FN) WIETZKE.
The link is: http://www.forum.ahnenforschung.net/showthread.php?t=17149&highlight=wietzke
I am not sure if this will show up in English anyway when connected from the States, just to tell you, that a link to your blog and your research on the FN Wietzke has already been posted.
Sorry, I am not sure if the second link is working. You can get there using the first link of course, and using the SUCHEN button (search) on wietzke.
Thanks for the information! I have some exploring to do!!
Better late than never 😉
Julie, I’m honored to have received a double mention from you this week. Thank you so much! Appreciate your curated lists of not only articles but webinars, too.
You’re welcome, Jacqi!
