  • A Genealogical Handbook of German Research
    Family History Library • 35 North West Temple Street • Salt Lake City, UT 84150-3400 USA A GENEALOGICAL HANDBOOK OF GERMAN RESEARCH REVISED EDITION 1980 By Larry O. Jensen P.O. Box 441 PLEASANT GROVE, UTAH 84062 Copyright © 1996, by Larry O. Jensen All rights reserved. No part of this work may be translated or reproduced in any form or by any means, electronic, mechanical, including photocopying, without permission in writing from the author. Printed in the U.S.A. INTRODUCTION There are many different aspects of German research that could and maybe should be covered; but it is not the intention of this book even to try to cover the majority of these. Too often when genealogical texts are written on German research, the tendency has been to generalize. Because of the historical, political, and environmental background of this country, that is one thing that should not be done. In Germany the records vary as far as types, time period, contents, and use from one kingdom to the next and even between areas within the same kingdom. In addition to the variation in record types there are also research problems concerning the use of different calendars and naming practices that also vary from area to area. Before one can successfully begin doing research in Germany there are certain things that he must know. There are certain references, problems and procedures that will affect how one does research regardless of the area in Germany where he intends to do research. The purpose of this book is to set forth those things that a person must know and do to succeed in his Germanic research, whether he is just beginning or whether he is advanced.

  • THE PROBLEM of GENERATIONS As to Be Capable of Choosing Rationally the Form of Government Most Suitable for Himself
    HOW THE PROBLEM STANDS AT THE MOMENT 277 forms of historical being. But if the ultimate human relationships are changed, the existence of man as we have come to understand it must cease altogether-culture, creativeness, tradition must all disappear, or must at least appear in a totally different light. Hume actually experimented with the idea of a modification of such ultimate data. Suppose, he said, the type of succession of human generations to be completely altered to resemble that of CHAPTER VII a butterfly or caterpillar, so that the older generation disappears at one stroke and the new one is born all at once. Further, suppose man to be of such a high degree of mental development THE PROBLEM OF GENERATIONS as to be capable of choosing rationally the form of government most suitable for himself. (This, of course, was the main problem I. HOW THE PROBLEM STANDS AT THE MOMENT of Hume's time.)

  • How Britain Unified Germany: Geography and the Rise of Prussia
    — Early draft. Please do not quote, cite, or redistribute without written permission of the authors. — How Britain Unified Germany: Geography and the Rise of Prussia After 1815∗ Thilo R. Huningy and Nikolaus Wolfz Abstract We analyze the formation oft he German Zollverein as an example how geography can shape institutional change. We show how the redrawing of the European map at the Congress of Vienna—notably Prussia’s control over the Rhineland and Westphalia—affected the incentives for policymakers to cooperate. The new borders were not endogenous. They were at odds with the strategy of Prussia, but followed from Britain’s intervention at Vienna regarding the Polish-Saxon question. For many small German states, the resulting borders changed the trade-off between the benefits from cooperation with Prussia and the costs of losing political control. Based on GIS data on Central Europe for 1818–1854 we estimate a simple model of the incentives to join an existing customs union. The model can explain the sequence of states joining the Prussian Zollverein extremely well. Moreover we run a counterfactual exercise: if Prussia would have succeeded with her strategy to gain the entire Kingdom of Saxony instead of the western provinces, the Zollverein would not have formed. We conclude that geography can shape institutional change. To put it different, as collateral damage to her intervention at Vienna,”’Britain unified Germany”’.

    The Napoleon Series The Germans under the French Eagles: Volume IV The Regiment of the Saxon Duchies – Chapter One By Commandant Sauzey Translated by Greg Gorsuch THE REGIMENT OF THE SAXON DUCHIES ================================================================================== FIRST CHAPTER THE CAMPAIGN OF JENA AND THE SAXON DUCHIES (1806) _______________ I. -- The Duchy of Weimar furnishes to the Prussians a contingent to fight at Auerstaedt, and accompanies Blücher in his retreat on Lübeck. We are in the autumn of the year 1806: the Prussian monarchy, carried away by a wind of military folly, shortly before the catastrophes to follow; its army, placed on the a war footing, approached Saxony: in spite of its desire to remain neutral, the Elector was obliged to yield to the pressure of events; the Prussians were very close, and the Emperor Napoleon was still far away... The Saxon Electorate troops are thus incorporated into the Prussian ranks. But all the Allies were good for the war which was about to begin: a convention of the 4th of October, 1806, signed by the Colonel and Quartermaster General von Guyonneau on the side of the Prussia, and on the side of the Duchy of Saxe-Weimar by the Chamberlain and Major von Pappenheim, put at the service of Prussia for a period of twelve months a battalion of jäger and 40 hussars of Saxe-Weimar: these troops, together with those of the Electorate of Saxony, were to fight against the Emperor Napoleon and his allies of the Confederation of the Rhine. It was the establishment of this "Confederation

  • Study of Old Families of Center Line Pages
    Study of old families of Center Line pages Using small print and single spacing the page numbers are 2331-2467 at moment When burials at St Clement and census data appear to match both are bolded. Red shows interesting data such as persons who are probably buried in St Clement Cemetery but who have no stone. This is a work in progress all censuses were not searched for every family. This at least gives St Clement Cemetery records and stones and Macomb County Death records thru 1917. In several cases misspellings and poor writing have led to not finding relatives on old censuses but here I have published several missing members found in other families. Many of these were children living in other families and both younger and older persons. Many were living in other families as helpers or servants. Unless noted occupation was usually farmer or housekeeping with “at home “ or “at school” for the children. This study is on going and notes received from local families will help.

  • Oktoberfest 2011: a Somewhat Different Safe Haven
    15 September 2011 Economics & FI/FX Research Economic Flash Oktoberfest 2011: A somewhat different safe haven It’s that time of year again. This Saturday, at the stroke of 12 noon, the mayor of Munich will ceremoniously tap the first keg of beer and declare "O'zapft is" ("It is tapped"). The world’s largest fair will then open its doors to the public. The Oktoberfest traces its roots back to the festivities held to celebrate the marriage of Bavaria’s Crown Prince Ludwig to Princess Therese of Saxe-Hildburghausen on 12 October 1810. Since then, the Ok- toberfest has been held every year on the Theresienwiese (or Wiesn for short), named in honor of the Crown Princess – except for 24 times, when it was canceled due to epidemics and the two world wars. This year, the event is being repeated for the 178th time. Last year, the Oktoberfest bicentennial marked a new record for beer con- sumption (see chart). The temporary slump in beer sales during the finan- cial market crisis and the subsequent deep recession was therefore quickly reversed. However, the figures for the bicentennial were biased somewhat by special factors. First, the Oktoberfest was extended by one day, i.e. 17 days instead of the usual 16. Second, capacities were expanded: There were two new traditional beer tents. As a result, the number of available seats increased from roughly 105,000 by over 8,000. But even adjusted for these effects, the recovery was substantial. Hence, the capacities were well utilized. On the final weekend, access to the entire Wiesn site had to be shut off for several hours due to overcrowding.

  • Endogenous Trade Costs and the Formation of a Customs Union
    Endogenous Trade Costs and the Formation of a Customs Union Unpublished manuscript. Do not circulate, quote, or cite, without permission! How Geography Unified Germany: Endogenous Trade Costs and the Formation of a Customs Union∗ y z THILO R. HUNING AND NIKOLAUS WOLF Abstract We analyze the foundation of the German Zollverein as an example how geography can shape institutional change. We show how the redrawing of the European map at the Congress of Vienna 1815—notably Prussia’s control over the Rhineland and Westphalia—affected the incentives for policymakers to cooperate. Our argument comes in three steps. First, we show that the new borders were not endogenous to trade. They were at odds with the strategy of Prussia in 1815, but followed from Britain’s intervention at Vienna regarding the Polish-Saxon question. Second, we develop a theoretical framework, where state planners set tariffs on imports and transits to maximize revenue. We show that in a world with transit tariffs a revenue-maximizing state planner faces a trade-off between benefits from cooperation and the cost of loosing geographical advantage. In a third step we calibrate the model combining historical data on tariffs, freight rates, market sizes with GIS data on lowest costs routes under endogenous tariffs. We then run counterfactuals to show how borders affected incentives: if Prussia would have succeeded with her strategy to gain the entire Kingdom of Saxony instead of the western provinces, the Zollverein would not have formed. We conclude that geography can shape institutional change. To put it differently, as a collateral damage to her intervention at Vienna “Britain unified Germany”.
