Franke 155 Berhardine Romberg Franke’s Will 163 Johannes and Fredericke Bauch Romberg viii Foreword In the seminary library of Dubuque, Iowa, there is a 45-volume set of ALLGEMEINE DEUTSCHE BIOGRAPHIEN . The biography says that the name Franke was spelled in various ways, such as Frank, Franck, Francke, Franch, Franckus, Franckz, and Vranckz! The first edition of the Franke papers was a pamphlet of only forty-two pages, which was printed in 1948 for private circulation among the children and grandchildren of Louis and Bernhardiene Franke. Our ancestors left the Confederation of German provinces which had in essence become a police state leaving no freedom of choice for the individual. Ironically, Louis Franke was bludgeoned to death by unknown assailants on the steps of the Texas State Capitol, while he was serving as legislator under a governor who was ruling Texas with an iron hand. Here was a man who left Europe seeking freedom, a lawyer helping to make laws and losing his life in the process. However, he did obtain for his descendants a home in a free democratic society. We should always be thankful to our ancestors for their self-sacrifices in giving us an inheritance in a new land. ix Acknowledgment This second edition is an effort to show to future generations of our family the inheritance we have received from our ancestors. Through the mists of history down to our time, records have been kept by certain families. We are fortunate to be their descendants. My grateful thanks to the cousins, whose names appear in the following pages, for generously sharing family data. To Paul and Crystal Ragsdale, Louise Jernigan and James Patrick McGuire, I owe a debt of gratitude for their helpful suggestions. Also, without the many hours of translation by my uncle Dr. A. G. Wiederaenders; the patient research of my cousin Ardone Workman; the encouragement, by underwriting this project, of my brother Arthur T. Franke; and last, but by no means least, the impetus given by my late cousin Helen Franke, this attempt would not have been made. However, I feel that I owe an apology to those of my relatives who are much better qualified than I to write a history of our family. The years passed; no one wrote a Franke book. I finally decided as G. K. Chesterton said, “If it is worth doing, it is worth doing poorly.” So, here is my poor effort. Please, be lenient. Having spent a life-time reading and taking notes of what was interesting, it is now impossible to acknowledge all of the sources from which material was drawn for this book. Researching, compiling and editing continued for many years. In conclusion here are several

It is recalled how – at the moment a Polish state first came into being in the 10th century – its western border also followed a course more or less coinciding with these same two rivers. In subsequent cen- turies, the political limits of the Polish and German spheres of influence shifted markedly to the east. However, as a result of the drastic reverse suffered by Nazi Germany, the western border of Poland was re-set at the Oder-Neisse Line. Consideration is given to both the causes and consequences of this far-reaching geopolitical decision taken at the Potsdam Conference by the victorious Three Powers of the USSR, UK and USA. Key words Oder-Neisse Line • western border of Poland • Potsdam Conference • international boundaries Introduction districts – one for each successor – brought the loss, at first periodically and then irrevo- At the end of the 10th century, the Western cably, of the whole of Silesia and of Western border of Poland coincided approximately Pomerania.

  • 1781 - 1941 a Walk in the Shadow of Our History by Alfred Opp, Vancouver, British Columbia Edited by Connie Dahlke, Walla Walla, Washington
    1781 - 1941 A Walk in the Shadow of Our History By Alfred Opp, Vancouver, British Columbia Edited by Connie Dahlke, Walla Walla, Washington For centuries, Europe was a hornet's nest - one poke at it and everyone got stung. Our ancestors were in the thick of it. They were the ones who suffered through the constant upheavals that tore Europe apart. While the history books tell the broad story, they can't begin to tell the individual stories of all those who lived through those tough times. And often-times, the people at the local level had no clue as to the reasons for the turmoil nor how to get away from it. People in the 18th century were duped just as we were in 1940 when we were promised a place in the Fatherland to call home. My ancestor Konrad Link went with his parents from South Germany to East Prussia”Poland in 1781. Poland as a nation had been squeezed out of existence by Austria, Russia and Prussia. The area to which the Link family migrated was then considered part of their homeland - Germany. At that time, most of northern Germany was called Prussia. The river Weichsel “Vitsula” divided the newly enlarged region of Prussia into West Prussia and East Prussia. The Prussian Kaiser followed the plan of bringing new settlers into the territory to create a culture and society that would be more productive and successful. The plan worked well for some time. Then Napoleon began marching against his neighbors with the goal of controlling all of Europe.

  • The Archaeology of the Prussian Crusade
    Downloaded by [University of Wisconsin - Madison] at 05:00 18 January 2017 THE ARCHAEOLOGY OF THE PRUSSIAN CRUSADE The Archaeology of the Prussian Crusade explores the archaeology and material culture of the Crusade against the Prussian tribes in the thirteenth century, and the subsequent society created by the Teutonic Order that lasted into the six- teenth century. It provides the first synthesis of the material culture of a unique crusading society created in the south-eastern Baltic region over the course of the thirteenth century. It encompasses the full range of archaeological data, from standing buildings through to artefacts and ecofacts, integrated with writ- ten and artistic sources. The work is sub-divided into broadly chronological themes, beginning with a historical outline, exploring the settlements, castles, towns and landscapes of the Teutonic Order’s theocratic state and concluding with the role of the reconstructed and ruined monuments of medieval Prussia in the modern world in the context of modern Polish culture. This is the first work on the archaeology of medieval Prussia in any lan- guage, and is intended as a comprehensive introduction to a period and area of growing interest. This book represents an important contribution to promot- ing international awareness of the cultural heritage of the Baltic region, which has been rapidly increasing over the last few decades.

Background of the Pioneer and Century Certificate Project Even before the impetus of the Bicentennial year and the appearance of Alex Haley's Roots, more and more people were becoming interested in genealogy. Fifty years ago, the word was apt to mean an exercise aimed at qualifying for membership in an exclusive society. Today, its meaning has broadened to acconnnodate an increased awareness of the value of family and national heritages. Realization has come, too, that in a time of great social change, the knowledge of these--placing the individual, as it were, in a context--can stabilize and illuminate the sense of self.

    Kwartalnik Historyczny Vol. CXXIV, 2017 Eng.-Language Edition no. 1 PL ISSN 0023-5903 Hans-Jürgen Bömelburg, Edmund Kizik, Altes Reich und Alte Repub- lik. Deutsch-polnische Beziehungen und Verflechtungen 1500–1806, Darm- stadt, 2014, WBG Verlag, 214 pp., WBG Deutsch-Polnische Geschich- te, Bd. 2 This work by two historians from Poland and Germany looks at the bilateral relations between Poland and Germany in the early modern period. Aimed to fill a gap in the publishing market, it presents a comparative synthesis of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth (Republic) and the Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation (Reich). Written in German, it is targeted mainly at the German reader. However, Polish readers will also find it very informative. The chronological boundaries of 1500–1806 are rather loose. Considering the history of Poland,the year 1500 is symbolic and stands for two other dates: 1493, when the first bicameral Sejm was summoned, and 1505 when the Nihil Novi constitution (law) was passed. For the German States, the boundary of the year 1500 is even less explicit, although the authors emphasize the historical significance of the beginnings of capitalist forms of production in the German territories. The end date, the year 1806, marks the collapse of the German Reich. The year 1795, the date of the Third Partition of Poland, would be probably more appropriate for the Commonwealth. The geographical area under consideration is marked by the German Reich, the territories settled by the German speaking population, such as Ducal Prussia and Livonia, and many cities in the Polish Crown largely populated by Germans, especially Danzig (Gdańsk), Thorn (Toruń) and Elbing (Elbląg) on one side,and the Commonwealth of the Two Nations, extended by the areas populated by speakers of Polish (that is, Ducal Prussia and parts of Silesia) on the other.
