  • Basic Genealogical Sources in Westphalia – an Introduction Online Westphalia Connection Session, Dec
    Basic Genealogical Sources in Westphalia – An Introduction Online Westphalia Connection Session, Dec. 5th, 2020, Roland Linde Dear genealogists, I would like to give you some advice how you can obtain further information about your ancestors in Westphalia. But I can only give you a very few initial clues because its a fairly broad topic. Perhaps I can tell you more about the history of Westphalia in another conference; it is a diverse landscape with strong cultural, economic and religious differences. Around 1800 Westphalia still consisted of various clerical and secular principalities, larger and smaller, some of which were Catholic and some were Protestant. Then the French came under Emperor Napoleon and turned Westphalia pretty much on its head. With the Congress of Vienna in 1815, Westphalia first emerged as a state unit, as a province of the Kingdom of Prussia. Münster became the provincial capital. In 1816, Prussia set up three administrative districts (Regierungsbezirke) within this province: Münster (western Westphalia), Arnsberg (southern Westphalia) and Minden (eastern Westphalia). The administrative districts were again divided into districts (Kreise) and these into rural and urban communities (Gemeinden und Städte). That doesn't sound terribly exciting, but as a genealogist you have to know that in order to find the sources. The Prussians founded a state archive in Münster, in which the historical tradition for the whole of Westphalia was brought together. It still exists today under a different name. Exactly 150 years later, in 1946, the Allied occupying powers smashed the Free State of Prussia, which had dominated Germany since 1815. From the two western provinces of Prussia, the Rhineland and Westphalia, today's state of North Rhine-Westphalia (Nordrhein-Westfalen) emerged under the British military government at that time.

The examination will be conducted in Swedish. Abstract Ingemarsdotter, J. 2011. Ramism, Rhetoric and Reform. An Intellectual Biography of Johan Skytte (1577–1645). Acta Universitatis Upsaliensis. Uppsala Studies in History of Ideas 42. 322 pp. Uppsala. ISBN 978-91-554-8071-4. This thesis is an intellectual biography of the Swedish statesman Johan Skytte (1577–1645), focusing on his educational ideals and his contributions to educational reform in the early Swedish Age of Greatness. Although born a commoner, Skytte rose to be one of the most powerful men in Sweden in the first half of the seventeenth century, serving three generations of regents. As a royal preceptor and subsequently a university chancellor, Skytte appears as an early educational politician at a time when the Swedish Vasa dynasty initiated a number of far-reaching reforms, including the revival of Sweden’s only university at the time (in Uppsala). The contextual approach of the thesis shows how Skytte’s educational reform agenda was shaped by nationally motivated arguments as well as by a Late Renaissance humanist heritage, celebrating education as the foundation of all prosperous civilizations. Utilizing a largely unexplored source material written mostly in Latin, the thesis analyzes how Skytte’s educational arguments were formed already at the University of Marburg in the 1590s, where he learned to embrace the utility-orientated ideals of the French humanist Petrus Ramus (1515–1572).

  • German Gazetteers Online
    ll genealogical research is ultimately local in origin. Our ancestors lived in specific places, and the records about them were usually created in those places where they lived. Further, it is Athrough a family’s location that we, in part, identify them. German The geographic aspect of genealogical research is even more important for Germanic ancestors than it is for most North Americans. Some key records for North Americans were created at the state, provincial, and national levels. That is seldom the case with German ancestors. Virtually all the key records about German families were created at the local level, in the town or parish where they lived. gazetteers Therefore, locating places in Germany is an important aspect of successful German research. From there it is essential to identify the parish where the family attended church. The primary tools for such research are gazetteers. Most of those gazetteers are written in German (often using an archaic font style), and are hard for most researchers to access, except via microfilm at a Family History online Center. Fortunately, technology is changing all that. Slowly, an increasing number of gazetteers for various German states are appearing online. By Kory L. The German Empire Meyerink, MLS, AG, FUGA However, due to the constantly changing map of Europe, particularly as it pertained to German areas, the boundaries and jurisdictional levels of German countries often changed. Indeed, the actual country of Germany did not even exist until 1871. Earlier, our German ancestors lived in one of many different and independent German states. These changes have significant impact on German research, one of which is how to designate the now changed jurisdictions that were in place when our ancestors lived there.
