[[Category:Bechmann Name Study]] [[Category:One Name Studies]] [[Category:DNA Projects]] The Bechman(n) surname (with an "h") seems to be a family group that is distinct from the numerous Beckman(n) (with a "k") and Bachman(n) family groups that have come out of Europe over the past 3-4 centuries. This is a One Name Study to collect together in one place everything about the Bechman(n) family lines. At the moment, we know of the following locales where Bechmann ancestors have been found: * Dorfchemnitz, Freiberg, German Electorate of (Upper) Saxony (16th century); * Serba (Saale-Holzland-Kreis District), German Duchy of Saxe-Jena (Thüringia) (17th century); * Rotenfels (Rastatt District), German Duchy of Baden-Durlach (18th century); * Albersdorf, Dithmarschen, Schleswig-Holstein (18th century); * København, Danmark (19th century). Please add any information related to the Bechman(n)s to this page. The hope is that other researchers like you will join our study to help make it a valuable reference point for people studying lines that cross or intersect. Please contact the project leader, add categories to your profiles, add your questions to the bulletin board, add details of your name research, etc.

These are: (1) The Scotland OPR Downloads Project; and (2) The BECKET(T)/BICKET(T) Branches Project '''(1) The Scotland OPR Downloads Project''' The work that Jim Beckett (1009J branch) has done by downloading and transcribing pre-1855 OPR records from Scotland is now available for anyone to use. If there were any members of your branch who were in Scotland during this time, you might wish to check it out. In many cases the transcriptions of the original records add significant additional information compared to what is available on the main genealogical websites. Jim has also identified (and included) records for many variant/deviant surname spellings which might otherwise be hard to find, but for people who are often clearly part of our branches there. See [https://1drv.ms/x/s!Ar6kp05WiUTVmNsfLPfEvmqgz8n5NQ?e=Vj46BK]. '''(2) The BECKET(T)/BICKET(T) Branches Project''' We have started a major project (1) to identify, worldwide, all branches of BECKETs, BECKETTs, BICKETs, and BICKETTs, (2) to determine the most credible lineage for each branch, and (3) to determine the genetic links between those branches using Y-DNA to the extent possible. Improving the credibility of lineages also means that we need to get rid of existing lineage errors. To give some perspective on this project, the following are the top level statistics as of early February 2024: – Approx 150 branches which probably originate in England, possibly related to Thomas à Becket of Canterbury – Approximately 30 branches which definitely originate in Ayrshire (based on Y-DNA SNP testing), although many historically pass through England and the north of Ireland – Over 20 branches of Black Becketts which are likely descended from previously enslaved individuals, with the assumption that they had been enslaved by members of the above trees. The main resources for this project are the Branch Index and Person Index spreadsheets. They can be downloaded using the following links: Link to current version of Branch Index Spreadsheet: [https://1drv.ms/x/c/1fe384d2363f14d3/EVHldm555t5Gi2rA2aA7JmgBpl1y4kWHEAkxj9__MTcL1g?e=SqgJau] Link to current version of the Person Index Spreadsheet: [https://1drv.ms/x/c/1fe384d2363f14d3/Eeu6O2j8td5KuCdrU1n0mUwBkg6f7hib9h6FPhG_rAKRBQ?e=wZ0u15] We have had a couple of cases where people have not been able to access project resources, and the spreadsheets in particular. We are still trying to understand and resolve these issues. Please let us know if you have this issue. (Contact via a private message to the profile manager at the top of this page). If you don’t know what branch you are in, then start with the Person Index, to look up someone in your branch who is no longer alive, and find out which branch they are in. Note that the Person Index is manually maintained, so it will not include everyone we have in every branch. So you may need to check several different people to find your branch. If you cannot find anyone you check for, please let us know what you can about your branch, and we will check it ourselves. Although we have hundreds of branches, it is likely that there are more, so we would appreciate your contacting us. We may also be able to find your connection because you may represent an unknown sub-branch of an existing branch. Once you know your branch, whether from the Person Index, or from other sources (see below), then you should use the Branch Index. This will give you links to the latest lineages we have for your branch on several different platforms. It may also provide you with a link to a ‘Branch Summary’ for the branch, and to challenges to the principle different lineages we know about. (All of these continue to be developed.) The Branch Index is our main working document, as we work to clean up the different lineages, and furthermore to connect them, both in historical records and by using Y-DNA. You may also know your branch ID through being told by others, e.g., by the main genealogists for your branch. We will also be contacting the managers of lineages we find on public websites, to let them know of this opportunity to learn more about their own lineages, and to help determine the most accurate versions available. '''Project Explanation''' We are starting with lineages we have created ourselves or have found, e.g., on the internet. We know that many of these lineages, especially those from the internet created with the help of ‘hints’, contain major errors, especially for data from the 1800s and before. Consequently, we know that we will need to weed out such errors over time as challenges are made to these lineages. The intention is that, over time, at least one lineage for each branch will become the most authoritative version available on the internet. Furthermore, many of the errors in alternative lineages will be clearly documented as being incorrect, and why. It may be helpful to understand why we are doing this project separately from sites such as the Family Search Family Tree and WikiTree, which in principle require good source documentation and therefore should already be sufficiently reliable. Our reasons are as follows: (1) We recognize that competent branch lineages have been developed on many different platforms already. For us to insist on just one platform would mean losing access to those other lineages, and their associated lineage managers. Instead, we will identify when a lineage is documented on multiple platforms, and highlight the one we consider the most credible. We also recognize the even Family Search Family Tree and WikiTree suffer from incorrect linkages and conflation of individuals, so no platform is intrinsically fully reliable. (2) Pragmatically, there are too many existing BECKET, BECKETT, BICKET, and BICKETT lineages on different platforms for us to try to recreate them all on a single platform. We don’t have the capacity to do that. (3) We are trying to connect branches genetically using Y-DNA, and not just with historical records. Our approach facilitates showing genetic connections in a way not provided by any existing platform. We ask anyone using the lineages and data from this project to: Let us know if you challenge any data in our lineages. We will make those challenges publicly available, and subsequently try to assess the validity of competing assertions. We will document our conclusions for everyone to see. Others may likewise provide their own assessments of the competing assertions. We may have to say that some assertions are not supported, but likewise not disproven. In cases where assertions are not supported, we may split the lineages, with comments in each resulting lineage about the split. Provide us with additional lineages, or additions to existing lineages. (Please provide these in Gedcom format.) We will assess the information provided, and incorporate it into our lineages as appropriate. We will acknowledge the source of contributions and challenges. Furthermore, if you would like to be named as the main genealogist for any specific branch, please also let us know. ==Related Surnames and Surname Variants== *[https://www.wikitree.com/genealogy/Becket Becket] *[https://www.wikitree.com/genealogy/Bicket Bicket] *[https://www.wikitree.com/genealogy/Bickett Bickett] *[https://www.wikitree.com/genealogy/Bichan Bichan] == Task List == 1.

[[Category: One Name Studies]] [[Category: Beebe Name Study]] CURRENTLY UNDER CONSTRUCTION == First Beginnings == The name Beebe was derived from a place name in Leicestershire called Beeby. The place name is derived from the Old English "beo", meaning "bee", and "bry", or "settlement". That is, it was "the place where they kept bees." == Beebe Early Origins == Sound was what guided spelling essentially pre-literate Middle Ages, so one person's name was often reported under several variations during a single lifetime. Also, before the advent of the printing press and the first dictionary, the English language was not standardized. Therefore, spelling variations were common, even among the names of the most literate people. Known variations of the Beebe Family include: Beeby, Beebee, Bebe, Beebey and many others. They were first found in Leicestershire where they had been settled since ancient times before the Norman Conquest of England by Duke William in 1066 A.D. == Background == In most cases, if you turn back the clock less than a century, you will find, perhaps more examples of a spelling change in a surname. Many illustrious people frequently used the spelling of their name in various ways including William Shakespeare who spelled his name Shakespeare, Shakespere, Shakespear, Shakespere, and Shaxspere. Over the centuries names have changed greatly. The Domesday Book gives insight to the drastic way how people have changed names. Note: It is hard or rare to find a current spelling of a surname in the Domesday Book. To confuse things more, it was common in 11th & 12th centuries to Latinize names in official records. Fulford became de Turpi Vado. Throughout the Middle Ages surnames were constantly changing. William Tyndal was known as Huchyns when living in Glocestershire. Oliver Cromwell was a Williams. David Livingstone was a McLeay...The modern form of many of our surnames is comparatively recent, often preserving a phonetic spelling found in the seventeenth-or eighteenth century parish register. == Passenger Lists == Names have often been changed to make it easier for people to spell upon their arrival in the Americas. The name Schneider is often changed to Snider. Some names are Anglicized because while spelling in their homeland is commonplace, in Americas, it would be very confusing and difficult to record. Schroder is often changed to Schroeder or Schroder. It should be remembered that names of emigrants were often recorded as they were heard, that many emigrants could not spell their own names, and authorities were not as literate as one would wish. Thus variations of spelling of names occur, and members if the same family arriving at different times or places may be found under more than one spelling. [In using PILIPassenger and Immigration Lists Index]. The researcher should search for every conceivable spelling of the name sought. Today & Spelling Variations DONT DISCARD ANY SPELLINGS DIFFERENT THAN YOURS. Spelling changes are still frequent today & often found in government's registries. In your search, always keep every possible record of a name that sounds like yours. Many registries in the US provide Soundex searches for surnames. This is the key to your research, particularly for names that have been found in North America for sometime. If, in the end, one of these phonetic variations is found to be of no use, then that information can be discarded. Its much easier to discard such reference than having to rediscover the reference again. == The Great Migration == For political, religious, and economic reasons, thousands of English families boarded ships for Ireland, Canada, the American Colonies, and many of smaller tropical colonies in hope of finding better lives abroad. Although the passage on the cramped, dark ships caused many to arrive in the New World diseased and starving, those families that survived the trip often went on to make valuable contributions to those new societies to which they arrived. Early immigrants bearing the Beebe surname or a spelling variation of the name include: Beebe Settlers in the United States in the 19th century *James Beebe, who arrived in New England in 1668 *Mrs. Beebe, aged 24, landed in Key West, Fla., in 1840 *A. M. Beebe, who arrived in San Francisco, Cal., in 1860 *H. H. Beebe, who landed in San Francisco, Cal., in 1860 == Some Noteworthy People of the Name of Beebe == *William Beebe (1877-1962), American Ornithologist, explorer, and author *Charles William Beebe (1877-1962), American Naturalist, explorer, and author *Don Beebe (b.1964), American NFL football player *Michael Dale Beebe (b.1946), American politician, 45th Governor of Arkansas *Lucius Morris Beebe (1902-1966), American author, gourmand and photographer *Brigadier-General Eugene Harold Beebe (1906-1992), American Acting Commanding General of Continental Air Forces (1944-1945) *Major-General Lewis Charles Beebe (1891-1951), American Commandant of Warzburg, Germany (1948-1950) *Major-General Royden Eugene Beebe, Jr. (1908-1959), American Director of the Office of North Atlantic Treaty Affairs.

The family are first found in England after 1066 with Ogerus de Pugeys. He was a Knight of Lord Malet, a companion to William, the Conqueror, at the Battle of Hastings, in 1066.The Bedingfield/Pugeys are of Norman descent with their forebears settling in Normandy, France along with King Rollo of Norway. Rollo was a Viking leader of the principality of Normandy. The King of France gave Rollo the land of Normandy in an agreement to end the looting of France and to help the King of France defend against other Vikings attacking France. One of the Lords of Normandy was William, Lord Malet de Graville. Ogerus de Pugeys was a Knight in Lord Malet’s court.In 1066 when William The Conqueror came over to England, Lord Malet and his Knights came with him to fight the Anglo-Saxon King, Harold. Lord Malet was first cousin to the King of England’s wife, and was apparently entrusted with the guard of Harold’s body after he had been slain on the battlefield. After the conquest William (Lord Malet) was made governor of York Castle and was slain in its defense about 1071. At the general survey in 1086 (which became the Domesday Book) Lord Malet’s son Robert, possessed: thirty-two Lordships in Yorkshire, three in Essex, one in Hampshire, two in Nottinghamshire, eight in Lincolshire, and two hundred and twenty one in Suffolk. The near kinsman of this Robert, William Malet, became Lord of the Honor of Eye in Suffolk. ==='de Pugeys’ becomes ‘De Badyngafelda'=== Because Ogerus de Pugeys fought bravely alongside Lord Malet he was given land in the county of Suffolk in an area known as ”Badyngafelda”. ”Badyngafelda” was a pasture or meadow that was primarily used for the grazing of sheep. Peter, the son of Ogerus was given the duty of caretaker for the second William Malet of Honor of Eye in Suffolk, England. Ogerus de Pugeys was given the title of ‘Sir Knight Ogerus de Pugeys of Badyngafelda’. The name was later changed to de Badyngafelda in recognition of the estate and manor and the de Pugeys was dropped. The family’s first seat was Flemmings Hall (it is now a farmhouse surrounded by a moat). Around the 1300s the ”de” was dropped, and the family became known simply as Bedingfield. In the fourteenth century the family divided into two branches, one of which established itself at Ditchingham, the other at Oxborough Hall in Norfolk, which continues to be the ancestoral home. === Other contenders for the origin of the surname:=== (1) Anglo-Saxon from the Old English ''Bene feld'' = "living near the bean-field" and (2) Norman from the surname ''Banville''.

The root of the surname Bentley is the Old English beonet, meaning "bent grass," and leah, a "woodland clearing," hence a clearing overgrown with bent-grass. There were a number of Bentley place-names in England - in Staffordshire, Yorkshire and Derbyshire for example - which could have given rise to the Bentley surname. Bentley showed as Benedledge, Benetlea and Benedlage in the Domesday Book of 1086. The first recorded spelling of the family name was William de Benetlega in the pipe rolls of Derbyshire in 1176. [http://www.selectsurname.com/bentley.html Select surname website]

According to one source, "The Bentleys are an old English family. In Burke's Armory, there are fourteen families, the arms varied. The family is also, sometimes Benly, Bentt, or Binley".[[#Lobdell|Lobdell]]: Page 4 The most frequently quoted Bentley legend is that the first Bentley, received land from William the Conqueror. The legend seems to come from a lawyer, George Bentley:

According to a manuscript written by Lawyer, George F. Bentley called "Genealogy of the Bentley Family", the Bentley name can be traced back to one "Drew of Bentley". Refering to 'Bentleys of Bentley-Haye", Staffordshire, England. "Bentley" is an ancient Manor and Hamlet belonging to the Parish of Wolverhampton, in the Hundred of Seisdon. It was granted by [[Normandie-32|William the Conqueror]] to "Drew" by the services of keeping the hay for the King. Hence it is called, "Bentley-Haye". [[http://www.genealogy.com/ftm/l/a/f/Katie-M-Lafferty/WEBSITE-0001/UHP-1352.html Katie citing]]: Trisman states on page "G" "Early 'Bentley' History in England","TRISMAN, Eleanor L. (Eleanor Louise WESCOT) "BENTLEY GENEALOGY: Some of the descendants of George (3) Bentley; William (2) Bentley; William (1) Bentley; Also background of the Bentleys in England/ by Eleanor L. Trisman (Mrs. Ralph D.)-Salt Lake City: Filmed by Genealogical Society of Utah, 1980. Microfilm of the Manuscript Collection (ca, 500 leaves) donated by Eleanor L. Trisman, Riveredge, New Jersey.

The story of William the Conqueror granting land to one "Drew" for the services of keeping the hay for the King is repeated often as the origin of the Bentley name. However, further evidence is necessary to separate fact from legend. We do know certain elements of this story are factual. "In 1066, William I imposed a feudal structure on England. He was the owner of all land in England by conquest. He granted land to certain of his subjects in return for services" History of Land Tenure in England, [[https://hklandsurveyor.wordpress.com/2012/09/30/the-english-doctrine-of-land-tenure/ Author Unknown found at]]. However, the hay associated the Bentleys was not hay for horses but instead a place called the Haye of Bentley. ==The Ancient Bentley Family (1135 to 1390) == The Bentley Haye, one of the "Forest Tenure of Staffordshire, was given to a Drunad de Benetlea as one of the many Sergeanties issued by kings throughout England's history and remained within the family from 1135 to 1390 Forest Tenures of Staffordshire, published in the Collections For A History Of Staffordshire, Vol. 10, Part 1, Edited by The William Salt Arthrological Society,1907 pages 230-237 [[https://books.google.com/books?id=5okwAQAAMAAJ&pg=PA230#v=onepage&q&f=false available here on Google books]].

Sergeanties, consisted of services due to the King of a very miscellaneous character, many of them even of a grotesque nature; but being services due to the Crown and held by an hereditary tenture, they appear always to have been very highly esteemed and in most cases were performed by men of knightly rank".

The Pipe Roll of 1164 lists "the earliest custodian of the Bentley Haye who is mentioned in the Records is one Gervase de Benetlea who was dead in II H. II. (1164) Gervase had a son named Roger. Roger is shown to be the son of Gervase by the following abstract of a deed which is taken from the Huntbach MSS. in the William Salt Library:

Roger the son of Gervase of Bentley grants to Roger his son and to his heirs all Bentley with the custody of the Hay of Bentley, with its appurtenances except the land of Richard the son of Simon and of Robert the son of Jeffrey and the land of Hyndebadeshull, and the land of Hutcheberge and the Bailiwick of Wolverhampton which he kept for his own use for his life. Witnesses: :Willo filio Odonis, Willo. Ruffo et aliis".Id.

"The second Roger was dead in 12 H. III. (1228) leaving a widow, Juliana, and two sons, William and Richard." The Hundred Roll of 1255 states that William de Benetlega held a virgate of land by Sergeanty of the King for the custody of the Haye of Bentley, for which he renders one mark. His predecessor had been enfeoffed by King Henry I".Id. A footnote also notes that:

Shaw in his history of Staffordshire-under-Bentley states that one Dru nad held Bentley and had been enfeoffed at Bentley by the Conqueror, but the probability is that Dru was the father of Gervase and had been enfeoffed by Henry I (reign from 1100 to 1135)"Id

Again here we see a reference to Dru and William the Conqueror but again without any evidence to factually show this story is more than legend. The Forest Tenures article outlines the geneology of the de Benetlea/Benetlega/Benteleye family from Gervase in year 1164 to William de Benetlega, "born at Little Sardon, and baptized in the church of Shareshull on the 21st November, 22 E. III. 1348 and died about 1390 without leaving issue" (i.e., children). While the trail to the Bentleys of modern time dies with William, the following quote regarding his father provides an interesting perspective of the events taking place at this time:

The last named John, the third of his name, died before he came of age during the great Pestilence of 1349. On the Fine Roll of 23 E. III. (1349) there is a writ dated 8th of May ordering an Inquisition to be taken on the death of John son of John de Benteleye a minor, and in ward to the King. The Inquisition held in pursuance of this writ gives a vivid account of the ravages of the Black Death. Id p. 233 .

The connection between these de Benetlea/Benetlega/Benteleye and the Bentleys who migrated to America in the 1600s is unclear. However, at least one sources states that [[Bentley-882|James Bentley]] (born Abt. 1560 in High Bentley, England, and died date unknown in Pontefract Castle, England.) was a "19th generation descendant of "Drew of Bentley Haye" the first known Bentley (1100 AD).""MANUSCRIPT OF HELEN STONE WOODRUFF": "From a Manuscript sent to Swarthmore College in Pennsylvania in 1981 by the Family of Richard L. Bentley (handwritten and very hard to decipher) states that "100 acres of land was granted to JOHN BENTLEY on August 14, 1704 in Pennsylvania. The material indicated the information had been taken from a FAMILY BIBLE, and that the Family had indeed originated in BENTLEY HALL in Staffordshire, England. Helen Woodruff donated this manuscript to the Genealogical Society Library (Assume this is the LDS Genealogical Society Library in Salt Lake City, Utah) In any event, this was found on microfiche from the LDS Genealogical Library in Salt Lake City. (Microfiched, 9 Nov 1982. Project and Fiche # ZLIB 7-105 #1287 G.S. Call # 6017787) Ruth SCHMIDT, in her 1975 update of the BENTLEY FAMILY HISTORY, "AS A TWIG IS BENT" as cited on [http://www.genealogy.com/ftm/l/a/f/Katie-M-Lafferty/WEBSITE-0001/UHP-1352.html Lafferty's Bentley page on Genealogy.com] This James is said to be the father of a William Bentley who settled in America. James would be about the same age of the father one or more of the different William Bentley immigrants who settled in America. Assuming these lines can be linked (and the Bentley's from 1390 to 1560 are documented) the Bentley's alive today are over 30 generations removed from the first Drew or Dru , spanning from approximately 1135 to the present, almost 900 years. For an example of this line one can refer to [http://www.johnniewbrown.net/Bluehost/Bentley.html Descendants of Dreux The Norman]. One should note, there appears to be very few actual records cited to support all the generations. More specifically, one of the generations made on this site has been disproved. This relationship is wrongly cited on many genealogy sites: *(WILLIAM BENTLEY57-58) was born in 1573 in Elstow, Bedfordshire, , England57-58. He died in 1632 in Ampthill, Bedfordshire, , England57-58. He married MARY GOODWIN. She was born in 1602 in , , , England59. She died in Elizabeth City, Rhode Island, United States59 The [[Goodwin-2024|Mary Goodwin]] married to [[Bentley-905|William Bentley]] never came to America. They also did not have a son named William. The William Bentley ("19th generation of Dru") seems to be a combination of facts taken from a number of different William Bentleys. See the conflated profile of [[Bentley-909|William Bentley]] for more details. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- =The Bentleys In America= Two separate lines of the Bentley family were well established during early colonial America, one in the south and one in the north. These lines remained very distinct from one another in colonial time. By the turn of the eighteenth century, the Bentley name was found in many colonies of early America. The Bentley line of the south, originating in Virginia, moved further south to North Carolina, Georgia and other southern colonies. While the Bentley line arriving in Massachusetts, spread out through Rhode Island, Connecticut and the colonies of the north. If there are any instances of the two family lines mixing in colonial America, this project is unaware of those people yet. This may serve as a clue to tracing any Bentley ancestors. Sub-projects look into the Bentley lines from each area. The name William Bentley is very common among the Bentley families living in America in the sixteen and seventeen hundreds. The number of people named William Bentley with fathers, sons or brothers named William or John, makes tracking the Bentley line very difficult. It is hoped that the Bentley Name Study and its sub-projects will help to bring clarity to the different Bentley families of America. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ==Southern Colonial America== See the [http://www.wikitree.com/index.php?title=Space:Bentley_Descendants_originally_from_Jamestown&public=1 Sub-Project examining Bentley Families in Southern Colonial America] for more information about the Bentley families of this era and location. The Bentley name is one of the oldest family names recorded in America. Jamestown was established on May 14, 1607 and became the first successful English settlement in North America. Eight months after Jamestown was established, on January 12, 1608, the first Bentley immigrant, [[Bentley-2142|William Bentley]], arrived in America. He arrived aboard the John and Francis as part of the First Supply convoy to reach Jamestown since its establishment. While this William is believed to have returned to England, he came back to the Jamestown area in 1624 and raised a family who moved to North Carolina. ===Immigrants to Virginia=== According to the [http://www.packrat-pro.com/ships/shipnamesBa.htm Pilgrim Passenger Names Early 1600's website] four Bentleys are listed in the muster lists of ships coming to America from 1608 and 1671. {| border="1" cellpadding="8" | [[Bentley-2142| Bentley, William]] || age 20 || 1608 || on ship [[:Category:John_and_Francis%2C_sailed_Oct_18%2C_1607|John and Francis]] (First Supply) || from London to Virginia |- | [[Bentley-2142|Bentlie, William]] || age 36 || 1624 || on ship [http://www.packrat-pro.com/ships/jacob.htm Jacob] || from London to Virginia |- | Bentley, Abram || age 20 || 1635 || on ship [http://www.packrat-pro.com/ships/globe.htm Globe] || from London to Virginia |- | Bently, Jo. || age 21 || 1635 || on ship [http://www.packrat-pro.com/ships/alice.htm Alice] || from London to Virginia |} :It is believed that the William Bentley and Bentlie listed above are the same person.

The hope is that other researchers like you will join our study to help make it a valuable reference point for people studying lines that cross or intersect. ==Background to the name== Over the past 1200 years, the last name of '''Bethune''' has been used by different families on different continents. One family started before the year 1000 in the town of Béthune in the north of France and before 1200 had members in England and the Lowlands of Scotland. Another unrelated family, probably from the north of Ireland, is recorded before the year 1500 in the Highlands and Islands of Scotland. Descendants of both these separate branches can be found in North America and the Caribbean, Southern Africa, and Australasia. Some slaves of family members in North America and the Caribbean adopted the name on being freed. And there are separate families in contemporary France and Belgium which use the name. ==Bethunes of medieval France, England, and the Lowlands of Scotland== These families originate from the town of Béthune in the French province of Artois, the first recorded member being [[Bethune-21|Robert de Béthune]] who died before 1037. In France they became a noble line which included [[Béthune-509|Maximilien de Béthune]], first Duc de Sully and celebrated minister of King Henri IV. In England, the French family had acquired lands by 1128 but sold them all in 1242. A prominent member was [[Bethune-118|Baldwin of Bethune]], a companion of King Richard I and husband of the heiress Hawise of Aumale. Knights and clerics of the family start appearing in the records of Scotland after 1192, with perhaps the most influential branch being from Westhall in Angus. Robert Bethune and [[Bethune-471|Alexander Bethune]] were at the Parliament of Scotland held at Cambuskenneth in 1314, and one of their seals is attached to an act passed there. A probable son of Alexander was [[Bethune-470|Robert Bethune]], who married Janet Balfour, heiress to the estate of Balfour in the Fife parish of Markinch. This became the principal line of the family, with members prominent in the church and government of Scotland such as [[Bethune-14|David Bethune]], the last cardinal of Scotland until modern times. There were several marriages with the royal family of Stewart, while [[Bethune-82|Elizabeth Bethune]], a mistress of King James V, was mother of his daughter [[Stewart-10676|Jean Stewart]]. By 1713 a branch of the family was founded in Massachusetts by the banker [[Bethune-388|George Bethune]] and another by 1739 in Sussex by the surgeon [[Bethune-68|John Bethune]]. From a branch at Blebo in the Fife parish of Kemback, [[Bethune-380|Sir Alexander Bethune]] in 1916 inherited a baronetcy. Before the spelling gradually became fixed in Scotland from about 1550 onwards, many variations are found, '''Beaton''' being perhaps the most common. As Lowland Scots, they were never organised into a clan. The ancient arms of the family in France were: ''Argent, a fesse gules''. These appear on the seals of family members in Scotland, with examples surviving from 1286 and 1292. Through marriage with an heiress, three mascles were added and the arms became: ''Azure, a fesse between three mascles or''. After the marriage with the heiress of Balfour, the Balfour arms were quartered with those of Bethune. ===Some sources=== *Burke, John (1836). “A Genealogical and Heraldic History of the Commoners of Great Britain and Ireland Enjoying Territorial Possessions or High Official Rank but Uninvested with Heritable Honours”.

Though they had no connection with the Fife family, they too have contributed to the history of Scotland and to the many countries where their descendants have settled.

Following the death of his father, Christian, Peter Binggeli, born 1704 in Guggisberg (Canton of Bern), moved to Alsace, France in 1717. ''Memoir of Brother Peter Binkele, Bethania Church Book'', transcribed by Dr. Adelaide L. Fries, Archivist, Salem Moravian Archives. In Alsace, the name was spelled Binckele and this spelling continues through the church records in German in Pennsylvania, Maryland, and North Carolina. In 1725, Peter married and began what would become a large family. Dr. James G. Binkley, "Binkley Family" (1956). In 1736, Peter took his family, and along with other "Awakened" families, immigrated to the New World. After arriving in Philadelphia, in September of 1736, Peter and his family settled in Pennsylvania. In 1748, his wife, [[Werle-13|Anna Maria]], died. She had given birth to 14 children. Peter remarried in 1749, and continued to add to his family. Peter became a member of the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moravian_Church Moravian Church] in 1750. In 1772, The family moved to the Moravian settlement of Wachovia in North Carolina. By the end of his life, he had fathered 23 children. . The Binkley spelling starts to appear in the North Carolina civil records, which were in English, in the late 1700s. Moravian records for Peter are consistently Binckele, but his children and more often, his grandchildren, became known as Binkley.

[[Category:Birchby Name Study]] [[Category:One Name Studies]] [[Category:DNA Projects]] {{Image|file=Birchby_Name_Study-1.png |align=l |size=l. }} ==The Birchby Name Study== ===Introduction=== This Study aims to collect together in one place everything about the surname Birchby and its phonetically equal variants.
It is hoped that this will become a valuable reference point for information on the origins of the Birchby name, its dispersal world-wide, and any interesting or notable members, and that it will encourage Birchby Family researchers to share their knowledge by posting here relevant information, resources, pictures, stories, and anything else which may be of interest to their fellow researchers. ===Participation=== If you would like to participate in this study project, please contact the project leader, [[Birchby-2|Glen Birchby]], or post a comment or question on the bulletin board at the foot of the page. It could also be useful if you would outline the areas of Birchby research in which you may have been involved and any areas of interest for future research.
As is the case with the content of WikiTree profiles, this study is not “owned” by any individual but is a collaborative endeavour, and your input could be valuable in helping to determine the content and future direction of the study, its goals, and the tasks which we may aim to carry out. ===Goals=== The purpose of this name study is to follow the various lines of our ancestry, to establish an accurate Birchby Family tree using soundly documented sources of information, and to investigate the extent of dispersal by emigration. It is hoped that it will shine a light on the beginnings of the Birchby Family, and will provide a reliable source of information about the name Birchby. The study will examine various ancestral lines which are regarded as diverging from closely related forbears, possibly starting with connected Birchby families in Yorkshire and Lancashire, and separately looking at Birchbys in Licolnshire and Nottinghamshire, as well as others which may be identified as the study progresses. ===Things you can do=== Following is a broad outline of tasks which could be undertaken to achieve some of the aims of the study. Your comments and suggestions are welcome, either by contacting the study leader or by posting on the bulletin board to the right. You could:
• Add the category for Birchby Name Study to WikiTree profiles using a location to better organize and identify family lines. ''Refer to the One Name Study FAQ page for guidance.''
• Search out sound supporting source documentation and, where lacking, add sources to Birchby profiles.
• Investigate the migration of the Birchby name and ensure all emigrant Birchbys are profiled on WikiTree.
• Write comprehensive, well-sourced biographies for new Birchby profiles.
• Check for Birchby profile duplicates and request merges where these occur.
• Check for unsourced Birchby profiles and find and add sound sources.
• Check for unconnected Birchby profiles and make connections.
• Check for any orphaned Birchby profiles and consider managing them.
==Birchby Name Research== ===Origins of name=== The surname Birchby is of English locational origin, from the Yorkshire area of Northern England.
The Domesday Book of 1086 has a place name written as "Bretebi" in Yorkshire, this being from the Old Norse "Bretabyr", or the settlement (byr) of the Brittons (Brettas), meaning "settlement or village of the Britons." This village is known today as Birkby, located near Huddersfield. There are a number of other villages of this name in the north of England, but this is thought likely to be the source of the name Birchby.
The earliest record of the name used as a personal identifier was probably William de Bretteby who was listed in the Assize Rolls of Yorkshire in 1219, and the gradual development of the name is illustrated by the record for one William Birtby who was listed in Yorkshire in 1462. "Birtby" became "Birkby" in the 16^thC, as the name transitioned and eventually became "Birchby". House of Names / A Dictionary of English Surnames ~ P.H.Reaney / Surname Database ===Variations of name=== This study is focused on the name Birchby and its variants which are considered to be phonetically equivalent, and specifically the variants which can be said to "sound like" Birchby, eg, Birtchby, Berchby, Burchby, etc. The surname Birchley is not included as, while it is phonetically similar, its historic origins are not in the north of England, but in the south, in Kent, where it was recorded before the Norman Conquest of 1066. The English language had no fixed system of spelling until the late Middle Ages, and scribes and monks spelled names as they sounded. Consequently the name Birchby has been written down in a wide variety of spellings over the centuries, beginning with the early "Bretteby" then "Birtby", with a number becoming the standardized spelling of the name for different branches of the family. This standardization of the name did not occur until adequate, functional literacy existed, which in England was around 1750. Until then all language, including names, was phonetic, i.e. spoken only, except for legal documents and parish records, etc., in which cases the scribe, priest or lawyer would decide how to spell each word, thus enabling the spoken (phonetic) name to be recorded and remembered. The actual spelling was not important and was rarely considered. An approximation of incidence of the name variants can be gathered from the FamilySearch internet site, which shows that there are three variants which are dominant - Birchby (44% of the records), Burchby (22%), and Barksby (33%), although the latter is not phonetically equivalent. Note that these variants often have the suffix “-by” replaced with “-bee” or “-bye”, resulting in further variations and different results. Some other variants often found are - Barchby, Berchby, Birtchby, Birksby, Borchby, Bourchby, Burksby, and Perksby. It is noted that the WikiTree Surname index of entries under the name Birchby, gives as "related surnames", Birkby, Barkby, and Burchby. As all genealogy researchers would know, when one record in a group appears to not exist, it is wise to consider all possible alternative spellings of the name, as the missing record can at times be found under another form of the name, sometimes quite fanciful, even bizarre. This calls for a creative approach to how the scribes of the time may have interpreted the spoken name Birchby. Some relatively rare examples of this are - Barckbee, Birkebie, Birtchbee, Birthby, Borchby, Burchbye, Burksby, Burtchby, Byrchbee, Byrckbe, and Purchby.
===Migration & destinations=== Throughout history there are examples of people migrating to another area for a variety of reasons, e.g. better food sources, more peaceful living, employment opportunities, etc. The same influences were at work in Yorkshire after Domesday (1086). Most people by then had settled on a spoken personal identifier (name), with the people who called themselves “Birchby”, being established in the North and West Ridings of Yorkshire. By 1500 the scribes and monks, and the estate and government administrators, had formed a generally accepted spelling for most names, although the spelling of one name may have differed from one area to another, and between branches of families, while being phonetically the same. From 1538 all "life events" were required to be recorded by the church in Parish Records, but prior to this few records were kept.
The records show that the name had transformed from the 13^thC "Bretteby" to "Birtby", through "Birkby" and many other variations, to arrive in the mid 16^thC at the name "Birchby". The name of Birchby and variants were at this time also being found further south, in Lancashire, Lincolnshire and Nottinghamshire, but Yorkshire appears to have remained the stronghold for the time being. From 1600, people also emigrated from England, with more than half going to the United States of America, and most of the remainder to the British Empire countries, Canada, Australia, South Africa, and New Zealand. Emigration increased after 1815 when it became a means of escaping the widespread poverty, increasing again around 1850 during the “gold rushes” in these countries, and peaking in the 1880’s. After 1900, emigration from England changed its destination markedly from the USA, preferring Australia and Canada. During the first half of the nineteenth century, many British emigrants were farmers, or skilled artisans and craftsmen from traditional trades; many emigrated in family groups and were from rural areas.
This pattern began to change in the second half of the nineteenth century, when many emigrants started coming from urban areas, and with fast and comparatively cheap steamship passages becoming available, young, single, male labourers and agricultural workers predominated. Emigration during the nineteenth century was primarily propelled by the relatively low wages and employment rates in Britain when compared to the destination countries, and emigrants were enticed by glowing reports of higher incomes and better living conditions, which was not always the case, as many found that the cost of the passage and relocation expenses used all of their reserve funds, forcing them to take on any work which was available.
Most emigrants, particularly to the United States, traveled without financial assistance, but assisted passages were available at various times, being much more important when the destination was a greater distance away, hence much more expensive, such as to the voyage to Australia or New Zealand. To assist the success of the colonies, programs of free and assisted passage were offered at various times throughout the nineteenth century. ===Birchby ancestors=== This study examines the various lines of descent from the Birchbys of the Middle Ages to the 20th Century Birchby families, and their various locations. ''Birchby researchers are invited to add the ancestral lines for which they have sound information, and all information should be supported by referenced sources cited in individual WikiTree profiles.'' ====From Domesday to 19th Century==== Searches for early records revealed that the Birchby (or Byrchbee, etc) name had, by the 17th C. moved south from its origins around Birkby, Yorkshire, to be prevalent in a Lancashire village called Church Kirk (or simply Church) and neighbouring Oswaldtwisle. This area, up to around 1745, was the centre of the Birchby family, and the Birchby name was rarely found elsewhere. Then, at around 1700, the name begins to appear in Parish Registers for Chorley, about 18km south-west of Church. It appears that James Byrchbee ("WikiTree ID: Birchby-51") was born in Church, (baptised there in 1679), and was possibly the first to move and establish his family in Chorley, marrying a Chorley girl and starting a century in which Chorley was the centre of Birchby family growth. This activity lasted until around 1850 when the Birchby name moved to the nearby village of Euxton, which became the new centre of the Birchby family. ''Birchby researchers are invited to add to this section the ancestral lines for which they have sound information, and all information should be supported by referenced sources cited in individual WikiTree profiles.'' ====Birchbys in England==== The number of people with the name Birchby or Burchby is small when compared with other family names. In England, the source country, the number grew slowly, and at the Census of England in 1841 it was recorded that there were 112 persons of this (combined Birchby/Burchby) name living in England. This then stabilized for a time, with 106 recorded at the 1881 Census, and 115 at the 1911 Census.
Since then the number of Birchbys and Burchbys in England has declined. Access to census figures after 1911 is not available, but the internet site ''Forebears.io'' gives the incidence in England in 2014, of the two names combined, as about 51. ''Birchby researchers are invited to add to this section the ancestral lines for which they have sound information, and all information should be supported by referenced sources cited in individual WikiTree profiles.'' ====Birchbys in United States & Canada==== The earliest record found of the Birchby name in the United States, is in the US Census of 1860, where one Thomas Birchby is recorded living at Rock Island, Illinois. He is recorded as having been born in England around 1830, was married to Jane, who was born in USA around 1837, and having three children, George b.1855, James b.1857, and William b.1859. He probably emigrated between 1850 and 1854. However, it is likely that there were earlier Birchbys in US but no other record has been found. The internet site ''Forebears.io'' states that in 2014 there were about 53 Birchbys and 37 Burchbys in the US. There were about 53 Burchbys in Canada but no Birchbys. ''Birchby researchers are invited to add to this section the ancestral lines for which they have sound information, and all information should be supported by referenced sources cited in individual WikiTree profiles.'' ====Birchbys in Australia==== The ''Passenger Lists Leaving UK 1890-1960'' has only five people emigrating from England to Australia in that period, one in 1925, one in 1952, and a family of three in 1954.
The internet site ''Forebears.io'' states that in 2014 there were about 25 Birchbys in Australia. *The earliest record found of the Birchby/Burchby name in Australia is George Birchby who was a passenger on the ship "Scottish Prince", sailed from London, England, on 06 Sep 1878, arriving 16 Dec 1878. He was listed as being 21 and appears to have been single.
*In 1925, John (Jack) Birchby (WikiTree ID: Birchby-3) emigrated from Bolton, Lancashire, to Adelaide, South Australia, thus starting a new line in Australia. He sailed from London on the vessel "Largs Bay" on 18 Aug 1925, arriving at Port Adelaide on 26 Sep 1925. He married Jean Duell (ID: Duell-33) on 14 Apr 1934, and they produced three sons.

We do not know how many people were in Ulster as many had fled to Scotland in the 1630's to avoid the Black Oath. In 1642, more Scots arrived to defend the survivors as part of Monroe's army. It founded the first Presbyterian Presbytery in Ireland. Before that, there was none. Though Presbyterian, not all these men were lowlanders. I have an ancestor who presumably arrived in 1642 in Monroe's army. He came from Kintyre and was a Lamont, though the surname of his descendants is BLACK. They settled into Antrim." *[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ulster From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia] "This article is about the nine-county province of Ireland. For the constituent country of the UK, see Northern Ireland. For other uses, see Ulster (disambiguation). Ulster Irish: Ulaidh Ulster-Scots: Ulstèr a. ^ The Northern Ireland Statistics and Research Agency[2] for 2011 combined with the preliminary results of Census of Ireland 2011 for Ulster (part of).[3] Ulster (/ˈʌlstər/; Irish: Ulaidh pronounced [ˈul̪ˠəi] or Cúige Uladh pronounced [ˈkuːɟə ˈul̪ˠə], Ulster Scots: Ulstèr[4][5][6] or Ulster)[7][8][9] is a province in the north of the island of Ireland. In ancient Ireland, it was one of the fifths (Irish: cúige) ruled by a rí ruirech, or "king of over-kings". The definition of the province was fluid from early to medieval times. It took a definitive shape in the reign of King James I of England when all the counties of Ireland were eventually shired. This process of evolving conquest had been under way since the Norman invasion of Ireland, particularly as advanced by the Cambro-Norman magnates Hugh de Lacy and John de Courcy. Ulster was a central topic role in the parliamentary debates that eventually resulted in the Government of Ireland Act 1920. Under the terms of the Act, Ireland was divided into two territories, Southern Ireland and Northern Ireland, with the border passing through the province. "Southern Ireland" was to be all of Ireland except for "the parliamentary counties of Antrim, Armagh, Down, Fermanagh, Londonderry and Tyrone, and the parliamentary boroughs of Belfast and Londonderry [the city of Derry]" which were to constitute "Northern Ireland". The area of Northern Ireland was seen as the maximum area within which Ulster Protestants/unionists could be expected to have a safe majority, despite counties Fermanagh and Tyrone having slight Roman Catholic/Irish nationalist majorities. While these six counties and two parliamentary boroughs were all in the province of Ulster, three other counties of the province – Cavan, Donegal and Monaghan – were assigned to the Irish Free State. Ulster has no official function for local government purposes in either jurisdiction. However, for the purposes of ISO-3166-2, Ulster is used to refer to the three counties of Cavan, Donegal and Monaghan only, which are given country sub-division code "IE-U".[10] '''Please click on the link above for the rest of the article'''" *Origin of Name History As this surname is common throughout the British Isles, Scottish ancestry should not be presumed without additional evidence. Furthermore, as Black appears in many inextricably confused forms (Blacke, Blackie, Blaik, and Blake, etc.), the current spelling is often no guide to the proper pronunciation past or present, for in early Scots Latin charters the name even appears as "Niger". In the Highlands, Black is synonymous with the patronymics Macilduy, Macildowie, or MacGilledow, all of which derive from the Gaelic "Mac Gille dhuibh" (son of the black lad), and it is these Blacks who have been particularly associated with the Lamonts, MacGregors, and MacLeans. When the Lamonts and MacGregors became "broken" clans, both were forced to conceal their identity and many chose the names Black and Macilduy. The novelist, William Black, traced his descent from a branch of Clan Lamont who were driven from their home-lands under a leader called the "Black Priest". The exiles settled in Carnwath, Lanarkshire, and were later noted covenanters. Another lineage of Blacks were descended from the Blacks of Garvie, in Glendaruel, Argyll, where the head of this family was known as "Mac-'Ille-Dhuibh-mor-na-Garbha". The Macleans of Duart claim as septs only those Blacks/Macilduys who lived on the island of Gometra off the coast of Mull, from where many later moved to the Isle of Lismore. Members of the old family of Black of Wateridgemuir, Logie-Buchan, have been Burgesses of Aberdeen for almost 500 years. Amongst those whose scholarship has enhanced the study of the Scottish heritage we must include George Fraser Black, whose monumental work "The Surnames of Scotland" (pub.1946) has become the standard reference. Born in Stirlingshire, George later emigrated to the United States where he took a post as a librarian in the New York Public Library. His catalogue of Scottish works held therein may also be considered a masterpiece in librarianship. Clan affiliation will be determined by evidence of one's ancestral genealogical or geographical associations. There is no Black Tartan but because of the strong connections with the Lamont Clan the Lamont Tartan is recommended. Names associated with this clan Septs: Black Blake Blacke Blackie Blaik Macilduy Macildowie MacGilledow " === '''Famous Black's''' === Claudia Black https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Claudia_Black From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Claudia Black Claudia Black (8734836861).jpg Born Claudia Lee Black 11 October 1972 (age 44) Sydney, Australia Occupation Actress, voice actress Years active 1992–present Spouse(s) Jamie (m. 2004; div. 2013) Children 2 Claudia Lee Black (born 11 October 1972) is an Australian actress and voice actress, known for her portrayals of Aeryn Sun in the science fiction series Farscape and Vala Mal Doran in the science fiction series Stargate SG-1, as well as Sharon "Shazza" Montgomery in the film Pitch Black. She has also had several prominent roles in video games, such as Chloe Frazer in the Uncharted series, the witch Morrigan in Dragon Age: Origins and Dragon Age: Inquisition, Daro'Xen in Mass Effect 2 and Mass Effect 3, and squadmate Samantha Byrne in Gears of War 3.[2] She also starred in the miniseries Containment. Early life Black was born and raised in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. She was educated at the Anglican Kambala School, in Sydney, NSW.[3] Black has lived, for extensive periods, in Australia, New Zealand, Spain, the United Kingdom, Canada, and the United States.[3] Her parents are Australian medical academics, Doctors Jules and Judy Black. Career Claudia has acted in Australia and New Zealand in television and movies. She portrayed an intersex woman named Jill Mayhew in the Australian television series Good Guys Bad Guys.[3] She also had a leading role in the New Zealand soap opera City Life playing the role of Greek lawyer Angela Kostapas.[3] Black gained international recognition for her role in Farscape, and was nominated for a Saturn Award in the Best Actress category in both 2001 and 2002, and won the award in 2005. She has appeared in the feature films Queen of the Damned and Pitch Black. After Farscape ended, Black appeared as Vala Mal Doran in the Stargate SG-1 episode "Prometheus Unbound"; her performance was popular with producers and fans alike, and she was invited to reprise her role in the show's ninth season when series regular Amanda Tapping went on maternity leave. Black returned to the series as a regular cast member for the tenth and final season, and also starred in Stargate: The Ark of Truth and Stargate: Continuum, films which wrapped up the series' story lines. Black co-starred with Ben Browder in both series. In 2004, she was voted "#7 Hottest Scifi Babe" by Scifi WorldNet. In the NBC TV show Life (2007), Black was cast in the supporting role of Jennifer Conover for the initial pilot.[4] Due to Black's second pregnancy, the part was recast and the role was given to the actress Jennifer Siebel when the series was bought by the TV network. NBC still used footage of Black, and none of Siebel, when promoting the TV series' debut. Popular at sci-fi conventions, Black showed her talent at singing and playing the guitar at the Farscape conventions, and in 2007 sang on the debut album of musician and fellow Farscape actor Paul Goddard.[3] Black has also appeared in theater. She once played Portia in a tour of the Merchant of Venice.[3] She has also had parts in Spotlight on Women, The Picture of Dorian Gray, Loose Ends and Pick Ups for the Belvoir street theatre; Little Women and The World Knot for the Bicentennial Opera.[3] Since 2007, Black has also been a prolific video game voice actress. She has gained particular attention for her work with BioWare's Dragon Age and Mass Effect series. Her son Odin Black voiced her Dragon Age character's son in Dragon Age: Inquisition. 17:37, 14 April 2017 (EDT)[[Black-4130|Black-4130]] http://www.clintblack.com/about/ CLINT BLACK from his website: CLINT BLACK IS BACK. THE MULTI-MILLION SELLING COUNTRY MEGA-STAR IS RELEASING ON PURPOSE, HIS FIRST FULL-LENGTH ALBUM OF NEW SONGS IN A DECADE AND HE'S DOING IT ON HIS OWN TERMS. “To me, it’s only a ‘comeback’ in that I’m putting out something new,” says the award-winning singer-songwriter. “As someone who has never stopped working, I don’t see me as having gone away, as I tour extensively, write and produce for television, films as well as other artists." During his hiatus Black was courted by the majors (labels). All of them wanted him to sing other writers’ songs, but Black insisted on writing his own, as well as to being his own producer. “I really don’t want to conform to what other people think I should be doing with my music,” he says, bearing no ill will to major music corporations. “Instead, I’ll take my chances just being me. So I ended up just walking away from those opportunities. Our journey took us to Thirty Tigers Records, where I really feel I can be myself.” (Thirty Tigers also distributes music by such independent spirits as Marty Stuart, Shooter Jennings, Jason Isbell, Lucinda Williams, The Eli Young Band, Pat Green, Aaron Watson, The Avett Brothers, Chase Rice, Billy Joe Shaver, Sturgill Simpson, Bruce Robison, Jessi Colter, etc.) Black’s On Purpose compiles a strikingly diverse group of his self-produced songs. His ballads “Only One Way to Live,” “Stay Gone,” “Breathing Air” and “The Last Day” have never cut deeper, while his spirited “Beer” and “Better and Worse” are among the most upbeat songs he has ever crafted. “Time For That,” “Doing It Now For Love” and “Summertime Song” are catchy examples of how groove-soaked his music can be. The lilting “You Still Get to Me” marks Black’s third duet with his wife, actress Lisa Hartman Black. “Calling It News” is a wry, topical statement. “The Trouble” is colored by Australian slang. These new songs continue a stellar career. To date, Clint Black has sold more than 20 million albums worldwide and racked up 57 charted singles, 31 top-10 hits and 22 number-one smashes. Recordings such as “A Better Man,” “Killin’ Time,” “Like the Rain”, “When I Said I Do" and “Nothin’ But the Taillights” have led to honors from from the Country Music Association, The Academy of Country Music, The Grammys, and the American Music Awards, as well as membership in the cast of the Grand Ole Opry. Raised in the suburbs of Houston, Texas, Clint Black is the youngest of four brothers. He began performing with brother, Kevin at the family’s backyard barbecues. After high school, he worked construction for a year and spent 10 years on the local nightclub circuit. He auditioned for a Nashville recording contract in 1988. The following year, he led a movement of young talent that transformed country music into a multi-million dollar industry in the 1990s. “I don’t really feel like I was leading a change in country music,” he remarks. “It just felt like big success to me. I would hear things like, ‘So-and-so is going to record, and they’re using their own band because you did.’ Or, ‘So-and-so wants to write more of their own songs, because you did.’ But I don’t feel like I changed anything, other than contributing my work to the big picture. That’s my humble assessment of it. It’s hard to look at myself and see the impact I’ve had. I do know that my songs have touched a lot of people.” He married fellow Houstonian, and actress Lisa Hartman in 1991, their daughter Lily Pearl was born in 2001, and the family subsequently relocated from Los Angeles to Nashville. Black took on new challenges in addition to producing records, touring and writing songs by becoming an actor and a video director. He has founded several song publishing companies. He has been a musician recording and playing live with Kenny Loggins, Toto, Billy Joel, Jimmy Buffett and others. His vocal collaborators have included Martina McBride, Wynonna, Roy Rogers, The Pointer Sisters, Waylon Jennings, Bruce Hornsby, Eric Idle and Steve Wariner.. Among his songwriting partners have been Wariner, Merle Haggard, Michael McDonald, Marty Stuart, Bill Anderson and Jimmy Buffett. In 2004, he scaled the top of the charts by trading lines with Buffett, Alan Jackson, George Strait, Toby Keith and Kenny Chesney on the Hank Williams classic “Hey Good Looking.’” He contributed “The Great Mississippi Flood" to the 2005 post-Katrina charity album Hurricane Relief: Come Together Now. He released albums in 2004, 2005 and 2007. But his interest in releasing new music wained when his record label closed its doors in 2008. “We had great success at Equity breaking Little Big Town as a platinum act, but after the group decided to leave us for a bigger company, Equity closed its doors. Since then, I had interest from major companies to sign deals, but declined”. Clint Black has hardly been idle since then. He’s written and produced songs for Hasbro’s children’s shows, competed for his charity on Celebrity Apprentice, and in 2010 and 2012 starred in the films Flicka 2 and Flicka: Country Pride, the latter with his wife and daughter. In 2013, the Cracker Barrel restaurant chain began marketing an album of Black’s hits, which continues to sell strongly and in early 2015, he collaborated with Joe Nichols on a Superstar Duets NBC-TV special for the Academy of Country Music. In the past, Black has produced records for artists such as Buddy Jewell and Carolina Rain. Clint’s love of finding and recording new talent led to his latest venture, Chideo’s online “Clint Black Dream Recording Session Contest,” the winner of which will be produced by the star. The aim of this endeavor is to bring attention to Chideo.com and to raise funds to find a cure for Rett Syndrome, a neuro-disorder afflicting up to ten thousand children each year. He is the honorary chair for the International Rett Syndrome Foundation’s “Research to Reality: Funding Process,” and his 2015 contest has led to his own primetime TV special, highlighting the charity and the finalists. “I love producing, and being in the studio. That joy drove the Chideo contest. About a year ago, I came up with the idea for the talent contest for their website and they figured out how they could make it work. As a way to give opportunity to new artists while bringing attention to this devastating disorder, it has far exceeded my greatest hopes. We never know which event will get us past the threshold of discovering a cure for Rett Syndrome, so we push hard for donations and opportunities like these!” In the midst of this, Clint Black has been crafting On Purpose. During his years away from releasing records, he says he has accumulated a large backlog of songs. “For almost every album I have made, I had two or three albums worth of material written,” he comments. “I’ve always had an abundance of songs. probably 30 to choose from for the 10 that I would need to make the best album. For this one, I probably had more like 40 songs to narrow down.” The new album is dedicated to his father, who died in late 2012. “My dad was a huge country fan and is the first reason I listen to country music. He is probably the reason I’m a songwriter today. He was my introduction to "who’s behind the music". I grew up wanting to be the writer behind the song. That really all started with him. “To him, country music was a sacred thing. From time to time, I imagine him out there just beyond the spotlight, listening. So I dedicate this album to him, wishing we could share one more release together but alas, the clock ran out. I’ll just live with the faith that somehow, he’s able to hear it.” 17:37, 14 April 2017 (EDT)[[Black-4130|Black-4130]] 17:37, 14 April 2017 (EDT) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bud_Black Bud Black, Baseball Manager of the Colorado Rockies For the baseball player from the 1950s, see Bud Black (right-handed pitcher).

He played in Major League Baseball as a pitcher from 1981 through 1995, most notably for the Kansas City Royals and Cleveland Indians. He coached the Anaheim Angels / Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim from 2000 through 2006, and managed the San Diego Padres from 2007 through 2015. He was named the National League Manager of the Year in 2010. Early life Black is a graduate of Mark Morris High School in Longview, Washington. Playing career[edit] College[edit] Black played two years at Lower Columbia College in Longview. For his junior and senior years, he played at San Diego State.[1] Professional[edit] Black pitched fifteen seasons in the majors, most notably for the Kansas City Royals, winning 121 games in his career and was part of the starting rotation for the Royals team that won the 1985 World Series. He also played professionally for the Seattle Mariners, Cleveland Indians, Toronto Blue Jays and San Francisco Giants.[2] Black was the starting pitcher for the Royals during the famous George Brett pine tar incident, and was the pitcher who gave up Reggie Jackson's 500th career home run and Mike Piazza's first career home run. In between, Black pitched for the Leones del Caracas of the Venezuela Winter League and was a member of the 1982 Caribbean Series champion team. Coaching/Managerial career[edit] Anaheim Angels/Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim[edit] Black was the pitching coach of the Anaheim Angels/Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim from 2000-2006 under Manager Mike Scioscia. As the Angels pitching coach, Black won a World Series ring in 2002 against the San Francisco Giants. San Diego Padres[edit] In October 2006, Brian Sabean, general manager of the Giants, interviewed Black for the Giants' vacant managerial position.[3] After the position went to Padres manager Bruce Bochy, Black became a candidate for the Padres job, and was officially hired on November 8, 2006. Despite a last place finish for the Padres in 2008, Black returned to finish his contract in 2009. During the 2009 season, Black was given a contract extension for the 2010 season with a club option for 2011. During the 2010 season, the Padres gave Black another three-year extension through 2013, with club options in 2014 and 2015.[4] In 2010, Black presided over the worst collapse in Padres history when they went on a ten-game losing streak with a little over a month left in the season, went 12-16 in September and squandered a 6 1/2 game lead over the Giants for the NL West title. Black nonetheless was the winner of the 2010 National League Manager of the Year Award, edging Dusty Baker of the Cincinnati Reds in voting by a single point.[5] Black is only the third former full-time pitcher to win a Manager of the Year Award, joining Tommy Lasorda and Larry Dierker. On June 15, 2015, Black was fired after eight-plus seasons with the Padres after the team started 2015 at 32–33 and was six games behind in the National League West.[6] He finished with a record of 649 wins and 713 losses.[7] On October 28, 2015, The Washington Post reported that the Washington Nationals intended to hire Black as their new manager following the 2015 World Series, replacing fired manager Matt Williams.[8] However, it was later reported that he would not be getting the job.[9] Black turned down the Nationals offer, which he considered to be too low.[10] Return to Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim[edit] On November 25, 2015, it was announced that Black would be returning to the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim to serve as a special assistant to the new General Manager, Billy Eppler.[11] Black previously served as a pitching coach for the team from 2000-2006. Colorado Rockies[edit] On November 7, 2016, the Colorado Rockies announced they hired Black as their new manager.[12] On April 3, 2017, Black won on his Rockies debut, defeating the Milwaukee Brewers on Opening Day, notching his 650th win as a manager.[13] Managerial record[edit] As of April 7, 2017 Team From To Regular season record Postseason record W L Win % W L Win % San Diego Padres 2007 2015 649 713 .477 DNQ Colorado Rockies 2017 4 1 .800 Total 653 714 .478 0 0 – Reference:[7] Personal life[edit] Black was born to Canadian parents in Northern California.

His older daughter attended Oregon State University and is currently an interior designer while his younger, a collegiate gymnast, graduated from the University of Maryland with a degree in math and kinesiology in 2014 17:37, 14 April 2017 (EDT)17:37, 14 April 2017 (EDT)~ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Black_(pharmacologist) Sir James Black Sir James Whyte Black OM FRS FRSE FRCP (14 June 1924 – 22 March 2010[2]) was a Scottish pharmacologist. Black established a Veterinary Physiology department at the University of Glasgow, where he became interested in the effects of adrenaline on the human heart. He went to work for ICI Pharmaceuticals in 1958 and, while there, developed propranolol, a beta blocker used for the treatment of heart disease.[3] Black was also responsible for the development of cimetidine, a H2 receptor antagonist, a drug used to treat stomach ulcers. He was awarded the Nobel Prize for Medicine in 1988 for work leading to the development of propranolol and cimetidine.[4][5] Early life and education Black was born on 14 June 1924 in Uddingston, Lanarkshire, the fourth of five sons of a Baptist family which traced its origins to Balquhidder, Perthshire.[6] His father was a mining engineer.[6] He was brought up in Fife, educated at Beath High School, Cowdenbeath, and, at the age of 15, won a scholarship to the University of St Andrews.[6] His family had been too poor to send him to university and he had been persuaded to sit the St Andrews entrance exam by his maths teacher at Beath.[7] Until 1967, University College, Dundee was the site for all clinical medical activity for the University of St Andrews. He matriculated at University College (which eventually became the University of Dundee) in 1943 and graduated from University of St Andrews School of Medicine with an MB ChB in 1946.[8] During his time at St Andrews, Black lived in St Salvator's Hall. After graduating, he stayed at University College to join the physiology department as an assistant lecturer before taking a lecturer position at King Edward VIII College of Medicine in Singapore that subsequently became part of the University of Malaya.[8][9] Black had decided against a career as a medical practitioner as he objected to what he considered the insensitive treatment of patients at the time.[9] Career[edit] Black had large debts upon his graduation from university, so he took a teaching job in Singapore for three years, before moving to London in 1950[10] and then on to join the University of Glasgow (Veterinary School) where he established the Veterinary Physiology Department and developed an interest in the way adrenaline affects the human heart, particularly in those suffering from angina.[11] Having formulated a theory of an approach by which the effects of adrenaline might be annulled, he joined ICI Pharmaceuticals in 1958, remaining with the company until 1964, during which time he invented propranolol,[3] which later became the world's best-selling drug.[11] During this time Black pioneered a method of research whereby drug molecules were purposefully built instead of being synthesised first and then investigated for their potential medical uses.[9] The discovery of propranolol was hailed as the greatest breakthrough in the treatment of heart disease since the discovery of digitalis.[11] At the same time, Black was developing a similar method of inventing drugs for treatment of stomach ulcers, but ICI did not wish to pursue the idea so Black resigned in 1964 and joined Smith, Kline and French where he worked for nine years until 1973.[12] While there, Black developed his second major drug, cimetidine, which was launched under the brand name Tagamet in 1975 and soon outsold propranolol to become the world's largest-selling prescription drug.[11] Black was appointed professor, and head of department, of pharmacology at University College London in 1973 where he established a new undergraduate course in medicinal chemistry[6] but he became frustrated by the lack of funding for research and accepted the post of director of therapeutic research at the Wellcome Research Laboratories in 1978.[9] However he did not agree with his immediate boss there, Sir John Vane, and resigned in 1984.[9] Black then became Professor of Analytical Pharmacology at the Rayne Institute of King's College London medical school, where he remained until 1992.[9] He established the James Black Foundation in 1988 with funding from Johnson and Johnson and led a team of 25 scientists in drugs research, including work on gastrin inhibitors which can prevent some stomach cancers.[9] Black contributed to basic scientific and clinical knowledge in cardiology, both as a physician and as a basic scientist. His invention of propranolol, the beta adrenergic receptor antagonist that revolutionised the medical management of angina pectoris, is considered to be one of the most important contributions to clinical medicine and pharmacology of the 20th century.[13][14] Propranolol has been described as the greatest breakthrough in heart disease treatments since the 18th century discovery of digitalis and has benefited millions of people.[9] Black's method of research, his discoveries about adrenergic pharmacology, and his clarification of the mechanisms of cardiac action are all strengths of his work.[15] He was greatly involved in the synthesis of cimetidine, at the time a revolutionary drug for the treatment and prevention of peptic ulcers. Cimetidine was the first of a new class of drugs, the H2-receptor antagonists. Chancellor of the University of Dundee[edit] In 1980, Black's association with the University of Dundee was renewed when the institution recognised his many achievements by conferring him with the Honorary Degree of Doctor of Laws. In 1992 he accepted an offer to succeed the 16th Earl of Dalhousie as Chancellor of the University and was installed as Chancellor at the award ceremony held in Dundee Repertory Theatre on 29 April 1992. Appropriately the first degree he conferred was to Professor Robert Campbell Garry, who had been responsible for his original appointment at University College Dundee. Sir James remarked at this ceremony that by returning to Dundee he was "in a real sense, coming home".[8] As Chancellor, Sir James Black did much to promote the University of Dundee and was a popular figure within the University. He was awarded a second honorary degree, that of Doctor of Science, in 2005. He retired from his post the following year, and his association with the University of Dundee was marked with launching of the £20 million Sir James Black Centre. The centre, intended to promote interdisciplinary research in the life sciences, was opened by Sydney Brenner in 2006. Sir James Black himself visited the centre in October 2006 and was reportedly excited and pleased by what he saw.[8] A portrait of Black in his chancellor's robes, by Helene Train, is held as part of the University's fine art collection.[16] Honours and awards[edit] Black was made a Knight Bachelor on 10 February 1981 for services to medical research, receiving the honour from the Queen at Buckingham Palace.[11][17] On 26 May 2000 he was appointed to the Order of Merit, of which there are only 24 members at any one time, by Queen Elizabeth II.[18][19] Black was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society (FRS) in 1976 and the same year he was awarded the Lasker award.[20] His certificate of election to the Royal Society reads: Has made outstanding contributions, based on fundamental considerations of receptor theory, to the development of new drugs of clinical importance. Introduced the first effective beta blockers and analysed their cardiovascular effects. These drugs have opened up new perspectives for the treatment of angina pectoris, cardiac irregularities and hypertension. More recently, in a concerted drive carried out with great vision, he has developed a new type of histamine antagonist capable of inhibiting gastric acid secretion induced by histamine or pentagastrin. Apart from its practical implications this work has considerable fundamental importance since it provided evidence for the existence of a new type of histamine receptor. This work has also provided experimental support for the hypothesis that endogenous histamine may be involved in the secretion of acid in the stomach.[1] In 1979, he was awarded the Artois-Baillet Latour Health Prize. In 1982 Black was awarded the Wolf Prize in Medicine.[9] and the year after the Scheele Award. He was awarded the 1988 Nobel Prize in Medicine along with Gertrude B. Elion and George H. Hitchings for their work on drug development.[21] In 1994 he received the Ellison-Cliffe Medal from the Royal Society of Medicine. Personal life[edit] Black met Hilary Joan Vaughan (1924–1986) at a ball at university in 1944 and the couple married in 1946 upon his graduation. He described her as the "mainspring" of his life until she died aged 61 in Surrey.[6][22] The couple had a daughter, Stephanie, born in 1951.[6] Black remarried in 1994, to Professor Rona MacKie.[9] Black was a very private man who was averse to publicity and was horrified to discover he had won the Nobel Prize.[9] Black died, aged 85, on the morning of 22 March 2010 after a long illness. His death was announced by the University of Dundee, where Black served as Chancellor from 1992 to 2006.[23] His funeral was held on 29 March at St. Columba's Church, London.[10] He is buried at the Ardclach cemetery, a parish established in 1655, near Nairn, Scotland. Upon hearing of Black's death, Professor Pete Downes, Principal and Vice-Chancellor of the University of Dundee said Black "was a great scientist, but he was also a great man to know" while the BBC said he was "hailed as one of the great Scottish scientists of the 20th Century".[19] He was described by The Daily Telegraph as the man who earned the most for the pharmaceutical industry through his drug development, though he received little personal financial gain from his work.[9] In 2010 the Bute Medical School of the University of St Andrews, where Black had studied his initial degree in medicine, announced that an honorary 'Sir James Black Chair of Medicine' would be created. In September 2010 the first Chair of Medicine at the University was given to Professor Stephen H Gillespie MD, DSc, FRCP (Edin), FRC Path, who left his post as Professor of Medical Microbiology at UCL. Family history research has found him to be a third cousin once removed to David Tennant the actor. 17:37, 14 April 2017 (EDT)17:37, 14 April 2017 (EDT)[[Black-4130|Black-4130]] ==List of orphan files to adopt== If you are willing to adopt any of these, post the profile ID in the comments, and others can help work on it. https://www.wikitree.com/index.php?title=Special%3AAdoptions&order=&s=Black

[[Category:One Name Studies Project, New Projects]] [[Category:Blackstock Name Study]] [[Category:One Name Studies]] [[Category:DNA Projects]] Welcome to the '''Blackstock''' Name Study! ==About== ===History=== The Blackstocks were a Scottish family of the lowlands. The beginnings are lost in the mists of time, but a letter written in 1991 to Herbert Earle Blackstock, compiler of the Book "Clan Blackstock", of Fort Worth, Texas by Sir Crispin Agnew of Locknaw, Bt. rothesay herald of Arms, gives official credence to the authenticity of the Scottish origin of the name. I can confirm that the Blackstocks are a Scottish family whose Chief was officially recognized in about 1565 where his Arms "Blackstock of that ilk" appears in one of the Lyon Court heraldic manuscripts namely the Workmans Manuscript where the Arms are blazoned "Argent, three trunks of trees, coupled under and above sable". It is said that most of the Blackstocks from Scotland first settled in a townland near the Irish border called Aughnagurgan (Irish, ''Achadh Mhic Geargáin''). John Blackstock is believed to be the father of our Immigrant William Berry Blackstock. William appeared on tax lists dated 1751, 1753, 1763 in West Pennsborough Township, Cumberland County, Pa. He later moved to Union County, South Carolina and acquired land that he named Blackstock Plantation. ===Battle of Blackstock's Farm=== The Battle of Blackstock's Farm took place on 20 Nov 1780https://www.battlefields.org/learn/revolutionary-war/battles/blackstocks-plantation during the American Revolution War. The battle was fought on the plantation near the Tyger River. The home had been suggested by a colonel who knew the land would provide cover for their raiders.Henry Lumpkin, From Savannah to Yorktown: The American Revolution in the South (Columbia: University of South Carolina Press, 1981), 106. "Supposedly Mary Blackstock told Sumter that she would not tolerate any fighting on her property."John Buchanan, The Road to Guilford Courthouse: The American Revolution in the Carolinas (New York: John Wiley & Sons, 1997), 251; Robert D. Bass, Ninety Six,: The Struggle for the South Carolina Back Country (Lexington, South Carolina: Sandlapper, 1978), 253 As Tarleton had been made to give up his pursuit of Colonel Francis Marion, he (probably) jumped at the chance to take on this early evening attack: "He left behind his infantry and artillery, to move quickly with his Legion cavalry and the mounted infantry."https://www.battlefields.org/learn/revolutionary-war/battles/blackstocks-plantation

"Sumter told the troops to take post in and about the buildings. [He] placed his men around the plantation with the Tyger River to their left rear [and] marshaled the troops in and about the buildings and fences [...] riflemen were placed inside a large log barn [...] along the upper edge of the field were placed the 100 Georgia riflemen [...] at the mouth of this lane was placed a strong picket. [...] Sumter placed Colonels Edward Lacey and William Hill. Colonel Richard Winn held the reserves behind and back from the house.https://www.battlefields.org/learn/revolutionary-war/battles/blackstocks-plantation

“That part of the hill to which the attack was directed, was nearly perpendicular, [...] covered by a large log barn, [and] they fired with security.” Mackenzie, Roderick. Strictures on Lt. Col. Tarleton's History "of the Campaigns of 1780 and 1781, in the Southern Provinces of North America". ... In a Series of Letters to a Friend, by Roderick Mackenzie, .... United Kingdom, author; and sold, 1787. General Thomas Sumter, leader of the colonies troops, was wounded in the battle and had to be removed from the battle. Nevertheless he led his men, crossing the Tyger, taking the wounded with him. It was Tarleton's first defeat and he did not handle it well, lying to Lord Cornwallis and then placing the blame on his troops. No doubt this defeat lingered in the minds of many as the buildup to the major defeat of Cowpens that set the stage for British surrender and, ultimately, independence. The battlefield is located "south of the Tyger River, immeidate east of the Spartanburg County line, in a hilly wooded region. [...] No above-the-surface evidence remains of Blackstock's barn or house, which were located in the area."http://www.nationalregister.sc.gov/union/S10817744013/index.htm nor do any other buildings. Blackstock's Plantation was added to the National Register on 16 Dec 1974. Blackstock Plantation now operates as part of the South Carolina Parks Department. ===What is in a Name=== According to Clan Finder, Blackstock is rare: "Blackstok is an obscure and quite rare surname. The name means ‘black tree trunk’. The name, however, is mostly associated with the Border regions of Scotland,https://clancentral.co.uk/clanfinder/Blackstock Neither a tartan nor a motto is recorded, but one William Blackstock was witness to a legal document in 1517. The coat of arms is described, at this same page, thusly: "Crest: No crest recorded. Arms of Blackstock of that Ilk: Argent, three trunks of trees couped, under and above, two and one Sable" ""Read more about the Blackstock surname here: http://www.surnamedb.com/Surname/Blackstock#ixzz4YADM47QJ == How to Join == The objective of our One Name Project for the Blackstock Name Study is to record as many of the Blackstocks that decend from our Immigrant William Berry Blackstock from Northern Ireland as possible.

It derives from the Old Norse by-name Blesi meaning ‘blaze’, or ‘white spot’; also, the same word used to describe a white spot on a hillside, along with the Old Norse word "dalr" denoting a ‘valley’. Thus, it is an ancient locational surname of Old Scandinavian origin.

If you have any questions, just ask. Thanks! * The growing list of Surname Variants '''BLECKLEY BLEAKLY BLAKEY BLEEKLY BLEACHEY BLEACKLEY BLAKLEY'''. '''Bleckley''' is the most common, especially in the USA, so common in fact that if you google Bleckly it will ask "Did you mean: Bleckley." (There's a Bleckley county in Georgia USA named after a Judge Bleckley.) '''Blakey''' and '''Bleakly''' come from the two earliest (so far) direct ancestors: [[Bleckly-30|Simon Bleckly]] and his son [[Bleckly-29|Thomas Bleckly]] ' == Honorable Ancestors == The earliest record I have seen is'' "Thomas '''Bleckly''' of County Lancashire, ... documented during the reign of Edward III (1327-1377)."'' The quote comes from text associated with the '''BLAKLEY''' Coat of Arms from '''4crest''' website http://www.4crests.com/blakley-coat-of-arms.html That crest appears identical to to the '''BLECKLY''' Coat of Arms shown here from '''House of Names''' website. (not surprising - spelling variations of same family name). It is however, nice to see the very earliest reference spelt/spelled correctly even if the source is questionable. The earliest direct ancestors were researched and published in a book titled Family Chronicles (Section 1: '''Blecklys''' and Springalls) ~ Lillian Clarke 1910 I had a photo copy posted to me after a visit to the British Library for 23 pounds in Feb 2004 BL reproductions London 96 Euston Road, London (Manuscript No. or BL shelfmark 9918.aa.14. ) IN addition to the usual misspelling comes the curious case of [[ Bleckly-74|William Absolom Bleckly]] Born to George and Martha Bleckly. '''Bleckly''' at birth, '''Absalom''' at marriage, '''Bleckley''' in 1841 UK census , '''Bleckely''' Emigrating to USA, '''Blekley''', 1860 USA census and back to '''Bleckley''' in 1870 USA census. The further back the name goes the more variation there is. The list below from ''Family Chronicles (Section 1: Blecklys and Springalls)'' pages 5 & 6 mentions Henry VIII (1509 – 1547) Elizabeth I (1558-1603) Charles I (1625-1649) and Charles II (1660-1685) a couple of centuries of isolated unconnected references of which Lillian Clarke says in her introduction "THE name Bleckly originated in the Midland Counties and has been found spelt in a puzzling variety of ways in Leicestershire, Huntingdon and Lincolnshire. " I have re-arranged the entries in chronological order based on the internal information of each. My additions are in '''bold'''. I've use blank lines to group entries, highlighting those which appear to refer to the same event. LEICESTERSHIRE is the only heading until the [[Bleckly-30|Simon Bleckly]] and [[Adkins-5363|Elizabeth Adkins]] marriage in 1694. As tempting as it is claim these people I suspect a lot of these new names (Blackeley, Blacklye, Blakesley, Blakeslie, Blakysley, Blanckley & Blecklie) are not related to the Bleckly family except in very distant past where we are all related.

Simon Blakey & Elizabeth married 1694 Thomas was born in 1698 & Simon died in 1707 ergo Elizabeth's extreme birth range would be: 1658-1679 (1658 would have her give birth to Thomas at 40 - 1679 would make her married at age 15. A search for Elizabeth's birth www.familysearch.org brings up these contenders within that range. 1. Elizabeth ADKINS chr. 24 Aug 1678 Holywell cum Needingworth (4 miles apart) and about 7 miles from Godmanchester (where marriage is registered) (parents John ADKINS & Elizabeth,) making her about 16 at marriage. and Thomas born when she was 20 2. Elizabeth ATKINS chr. 24 Sep 1669 Witton (Wyton) about 4 miles from Godmanchester (Father John ATKINS) making her about 24 at marriage and Thomas born when she was 29 I've selected her parents from the first entry as most likely Adkins (not Atkins) plus married at 16 and Thomas born when she was 20) until further research contradicts me. [1] Task 2 connect the dots did Thomas Blakey morph into Thomas Bleakly when recorded at the Q.M. ? (Q.M. = quarterly meeting - Society of Friends - aka Quakers) Family Chronicles draws a long bow to connect Thomas Bleakly (sic) of Godmanchester as the son of Simon Blakey & Elizabeth Adkins '''1st entry''' "In the Register of the Church of St. Mary, Parish of Godmanchester, Co. Huntingdon, Folio 2, in the year 1694, is the entry “ Simon Blakey & Elizabeth Adkins were married the 22nd. day of Aprill '94.” '''2nd entry''' In another Folio is registered the birth of "Thomas, son of Simon Blakey and Elizabeth his wife baptised march 3rd 1689." (again maiden name not given).

[[Category:One Name Studies]] [[Category: Blood Name Study]] __NOTOC__ =Welcome to the Blood Name Study at Wikitree=
==Introduction and Overview== This project is dedicated to understanding the origins, history, and genealogy of the English surname [https://www.wikitree.com/genealogy/Blood Blood]. People of this name have been a part of the history of England since at least the 13th century, of Ireland since the 16th century, and of Australia, Canada, New Zealand, South Africa, and the United States since long before they were countries. Bloods have been labourers, farmers, tradesmen, craftsmen, merchants, and yeoman. As soldiers they've been privates, sergeants, colonels, and generals. On the right side of the law, they've been knights, judges, and national leaders. On the wrong side of the law, they've been traitors, thieves, and fugitives. The intent is that this site will act as a collaborative forum to collect information on the all the Bloods of English origin, not matter where in the world they ended up.

~'''[[Blood-1690|Garry Michael Blood]], Blood Name Study Coordinator'''

==Goals of the Project== *To determine the origin(s) of the surname both geographically and temporally. *To develop and test plausible hypotheses for the origin(s) of the name. *To catalogue all Bloods of English origin worldwide. *To provide information of value to the two DNA projects currently focused on the deep origins of the name. ==Scope of the Project== This study focuses on the English-origin version of this surname. A German-origin line of Bloods and a French-origin line of Bloods will be excluded for the time being.
==Names Covered by the Project== This project covers all known variants of Blood from England or from English-origin families in other countries, to include both extant and extinct and spellings. Note that I view all spellings as variants because the current dominant form, ''Blood'', is no more valid or correct than the original form, ''Blod.''
*'''Extant Variants:''' Blod, Blode, Blood, Bloode, Bloud, Blud, Blude, Bludd and Bludde have survived to the present day. *'''Extinct Variants:''' The variants Blodd, Blodde, Bloodd, Bloudd, Bloudde, and Bloude appear to be extinct. ==How to Join the Project== The hope is that others will join the Blood Name Study in order to help make it a valuable reference point for other genealogists who are researching or have an interest in the Bloods of English origin. To join the Blood Name Study, start by browsing the items listed under Completed and Future Research to see if there's a specific study, project, or area that interests you. If so, just add your name to the Project Members list below, post an introduction comment either here or on the specific study/project page, and then get right to it.

==Noteworthy Bloods of English Origin== In order by year of birth, they are: *[[Blood-2247|Edmund Blood]] (ca.1572 to aft.1638) - A Midlands Blood, Edmund was the progenitor of the Bloods of County Clare in Ireland and perhaps of all the Irish Bloods down to the present day. *[[Blood-147|Richard Blood]] (ca.1617 to 1683) - One of the first five male English Bloods to emigrate to England's North American colonies, Richard and his probable brother Robert are the progenitors of the vast majority of North American Bloods. He was a co-owner of the Sagus Iron Works in Lynn and one of the principal founders of Groton, Massachusetts. *[[Blood-142|Thomas Blood]] (ca.1618 to 1680) - Probably the most famous Blood, [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Blood Thomas Blood] (who liked to refer to himself as a Colonel) was a "noted bravo and desperado" best known for his bungled attempt at stealing the English crown jewels from the Tower of London.

The hope is that other researchers like you will join our study to help make it a valuable reference point for people studying lines that cross or intersect. For a list of profiles associated with project please visit our [[:Category:Bohannon_Name_Study|Bohannon Name Study Category Page]] '''Bohannon Name Meaning''' Irish: Anglicized form of Gaelic Ó Buadhachanáin, a double diminutive of buadhach ‘victorious’. The name Bohannon originated as an Irish name. It means - son of owen. The name Bohannon is most often used as a boy name or male name. Irish Name Meaning - son of owen. The surname of BOHANNON has the associated arms recorded in Sir Bernard Burkes General Armory. Ulster King of Arms in 1884. Registered at Coundoun, County Warwickshire to Ralph Boun of Blakewell, County Derbyshire, during the reign of Henry V1. (1422-1461). The name is also spelt BOHAN, O'BOHANE, BOHANNAN and BOUGHAN. It is a surname found in all the provinces of Ireland but its main concentration is in Connacht, in County Leitrim and County Galway. They are the name of a family founded by the Norman Humphrey de Bohun, whose fourth descendant Henry, in 1199 was made Earl of Hereford. Humphrey, fourth Earl of Hereford (1276-1322) was taken prisoner at Bannockburn, and fell at Boroughbridge. In 1380 the heiress of the earldoms of Hereford, Essex, and Northampton married Henry Bolingbroke. Ireland was one of the earliest countries to evolve a system of hereditary surnames. They came into being fairly generally in the 11th century, and indeed a few were formed before the year 1000. Early records of the name also mention Edward Bohun, recorded in County Dublin in the year 1273. The Irish prefixes of Mac (son of) and O (grandson or descendant of) gave rise at an early date, to a set of fixed hereditary names in which the literal patronymic meaning was lost or obscured. These surnames originally signified membership of a clan, but with the passage of time, the clan system became less distinct, and surnames came to identify membership of what is called a 'sept' of people all living in the same locality, all bearing the same surname, but not necessarily descended from a common ancestor. Adoption of the name by people who did not otherwise have a surname and by their dependents was not uncommon. Later, nicknames were in some cases to supersede the original clan names. It has long been a matter of doubt when the bearing of coats of arms first became hereditary and it was not until the Crusades that Heraldry came into general use. Men went into battle heavily armed and were difficult to recognize. It became the custom for them to adorn their helmets with distinctive crests, and to paint their shields with animals and the like. Coats of arms accompanied the development of surnames, becoming hereditary in the same way.

Weller, dit definitions )] French dit nouns are not aliases which are incorrect English translations. The dit is not a French de or du which are Royal conveyances. Dit names were not royal conveyances, they were most often family created. Historically , French families in Nouvelle France and French Louisianne followed specific customs, (Coutume de Paris) in regard to family names. French women kept their name upon marriage not changing it to their husband's. Children would receive their fathers last name. Most ancestral dit names were given (or passed) from the father. There are rare examples of dit names passed from the mother's side, sometimes in tantum and especially if the names where historically significant. French families during that time would often adjust the spelling of their given names to distinguish their family line. ( i.e. The many name variants !) In Nouvelle France the Barbeau dit Boisdore family eventually dropped the dit Boisdore after the defeat of the French by the English circa 1763, through Bas-Canada assimilation of records and after the French Revolution.(For a period after some Parish records continued to note dit names.), ( In many family trees genealogists and family historians incorrectly continued to use the dit names.) Eventually most French dit names were dropped as families became assimilated in North America, and usage discontinued in France after the French Revolution.[[Baraboo-1|Baraboo-1]] 16:24, 9 January 2024 (UTC) === Barbeau Family dit Boisdore name. === In Europe the use of dit Boisdore is often discovered used by the Barbeau and some Barbot families in several regions in France. (Paris, Bretagne, Poitou) This use can be found prior to its use in North America and thus was brought to Nouvelle France and Nouvelle France Louisiane by the Barbeau Family ancestors. It is possible that the Barbeau family dit Boisdore use may have identified with family members who were master gilding wood carpenters.

These were agricultural farms or plantations that managed wood mills or forests for the King and or supplied products to the area Churches. Boisdore may have become an attached French dit name to the Barbeau family because of the Barbeau craftsman who may have work on building Versaille's as carpenters and gold gilders. [[Baraboo-1|Baraboo-1]] 16:24, 9 January 2024 (UTC) Boisdore remains a modern gilding term of art and craftsmanship. In North America, Nouvelle France, Nouvelle France Louisiane and Luisiana, Nueva España, Boisdore was first used as a French dit identifier. ( dit Boisdore, dite Boisdore) [Circa 1632-1800] The Barbeau family lines that migrated from France to Nouvelle France and Nouvelle France Louisiane used the dit name Boisdore from about 1632 at Quebec. . ( i.e. Joseph Barbeau dit Boisdore versus Kirk Brothers) The Barbeau dit Boisdore ancestors and descendants in Nouvelle France extensively identified themselves with dit (dite) Boisdore and can be found in notary, land and Parish records. Other Nouvelle France Barbeau families used Barbeau dit Poitevin, Barbeau dit LaForest and Barbeau dit Lafontaine to distinguish Barbeau their family lines having migrated at about the same time from France. The use of dit names became a common practice in Nouvelle France. The Barbeau dit Boisdore families that migrated to Louisianne [circa 1722] came from the Nouvelle France and France Barbeau family line. They initially established Plantations in and around Fort Conde, Mobile and were active in the Fur Trade. Later they raised cattle, became merchants, doctors, lawyers, real estate builders, soldiers and statesmen. After the end of the French and Indian War in 1763 , French Louisanne became Luisiana, Nueva España. Most Spanish documents of the period ,"Militia, land grant records, buildings and civil records" , used Boisdore (Bois-dore) as a surname instead of Barbeau dit Boisdore especially after the French Revolution and the elimination the French Bourbon King, and did so until the pre-American period in Louisiana [1803] . (A famous case of Spanish Boisdore use from the Barbeau dit Boisdore family is listed below in the U.S. Supreme Court case.) Spain and France were Bourbon cousins but their naming customs were different. The British occupied west Florida after 1763 and the majority of French families migrated west of the Pearle River ( Later a part of Mississippi) which was the new boundary with Spain. Many Barbeau dit Boisdore families assimilated into the Spanish government and culture. Other Barbeau dit Boisdore families dropped Boisdore and kept Barbeau. Boisdore, {Bois Dor] is a closer Spanish and Bourbon spelling then Barbeau. The French Louisianne Barbeau dit Boisdore families that developed Spanish Military service, received Spanish land grants, became officials or had marriages with Spanish families transitioned to the Boisdore name. After the end of the French Revolution the Barbeau dit Boisdore in Spanish Louisianne dropped the dit use given the changing in French naming customs. Free People of Color of African, Indian, Creole and West Indies origins who became Free People of Color through manumission, the purchase of their slave contract, released from slavery because of the violation the the French "Code Noir" and or by French custom at the death of a slave owner and who were a part of the Barbeau dit Boisdore family in French Louisianne and Spanish Luisiana largely took Boisdore as their surnames. They became successful families and can traced their heritage to present day in New Orleans and other parts of Louisiana. Free People of Color who became Boisdore and also had slaves and whose slaves upon their manumission often kept the Boisdore name. Their Boisdore family descendants continue to this day their Boisdore surname With one exception Barbeau dit Boisdore families of Canada maintained Barbeau. In Louisiana French Barbeau dit Boisdore families mostly kept Barbeau, others transitioned to (Spanish) Boisdore and many Free People of Color adopted Boisdore. The majority of their descendants can be found in present day Louisiana, Illinois, Arkansas, Mississippi and Missouri. === Joseph Barbeau dit Boisdore and Louis Barbant [Barbeau][dit] Boisdore [a study], [French Nouvelle France Louisianne & Luisiana, Nueva España === " The Boisdore claim in southernmost Hancock County was contested for 67 years. The Boisdores were apparently old family with properties in Mobile and New Orleans.20 There is evidence in the Rousseve and Souvigny deeds from 1788 that Joseph Barbant de Boisdore had attained the deed to the land owned by Charles Marie LaLande. There is no mention of a date. Joseph Barbeau dit Boisdore was most likely the father of Luis, John and Anthony 21. He married the sister of Marguerite Wiltz, wife of Jean Claude and mother to Simon Favre, in 1747. But possibly only briefly since two years later there is a record of a marriage contract of Joseph Barland called Boisdore, native of Mobile, and Mary Jean Deslandis, widow of Chas. Rochon 22 in 1749 (New Orleans Genesis, vol. 8; 326-334) Luis Boisdore was given land by Miro at Mosquitto Village, in fact most of the land south of Philip Saucier extending to Bay St. Louis (April 1, 1783). Luis also purchased the plantation of Baptiste Saucier, 12 February 1781, which he later transferred to John Chastang for four cows and their calves 7 October 1784. Joseph may have moved to New Orleans after leaving his plantation to his sons, possibly in advance of the British occupation of West Florida. He (or someone with his name) may be the one living with his wife on the left side of St. Ursulle St. in New Orleans in 1778. At that time Joseph Boisdore and his wife were both over 49 years old, had 5 slaves, and no occupation listed. Ten years earlier Joseph was mentioned in a lawsuit in 1768 (Court case Joseph Boisdore versus Jean Villanave, 1768. In NO Genesis vol. 3, January 1964, no. 9). The Boisdore family was clearly more allied with the Spanish than the British. When Spain re-occupied Hancock County in 1781, prior French interests were restored. Luis Boisdore, probably the son of Joseph, was granted claim to what was his father’s original claim in the southwest portion of Hancock County. The area granted was known as Achoucoupoulous and stretched from Bayou of Muschettoe Village to Phillip Saucier, and had been formerly inhabited by Mr. Lussen (American State Papers 1789-1809, Public Lands 1, Class VIII, page 6). Boisdore wanted to use the land for a plantation and a vacherie or cow pen. There are at least two Luis Boisdores: The one to whom Governor Estevan Miro granted a tract of land along the Gulf Coast from Bayou of Mosquito Village (presently Mulatto Bayou) to Bay St. Louis on April 1, 1783 was probably Louis Boisdore, a gunsmith from New Orleans (Swanson n.d.; page 286, Plat). The other Louis or Luis was Louis Barbant Boisdore, merchant of New Orleans. We find that John and Anthony, his brothers, sell the plantation inherited from his father in St. Louis, north of Mobile 19 July 1759. Apparently the same year his father left his plantation to his sons, Luis married (Marriage Contract of Louis Barband Boisdore widower of Marie M. Devert, 1759, (NO Genesis vol. 3, January 1964, no. 9). Luis must have re-married, as after his death in 1788, his widow Marguerite Doussin petitioned both the Spanish and American for confirmation of the Boisdore claim. The same Luis was probably a militiaman in New Orleans in 1770 (From Robichaux, 1973:12). In a document dated 12 September 1770 we read of the Four Companies of militia of New Orleans. Fusiliers (Fourth Company) and that Luis Boisdore lived in House no. 11, Rear of City: Louis Boisdore. Total 324 signed by O’Reilly. On December 31, 1779, Luis Boisdore is mentioned as city steward in New Orleans (Kuntz Collection, Tulane 1981). The other Luis Boisdore was dead well before the land claims were confirmed. Luis Boisdore’ 23, (possibly a brother of Joseph’s) was a sergeant was killed during an ambush by a party of Chickasaws Indians on August 1, 1754. He fell near Natchez under the impetuous leadership of Sieur de La Morliere. This lieutenant disregarded the advice of the Ofogoulas Indians, members of the party, who were attempting to recover four had kidnapped women. The event is vividly described in official correspondence: La Morliere “Made impatient by the delay and by the behavior of the Indians in such a case, did not wait for the agreed signal to present himself with his troops. The enemies, hidden in the reeds, singled them out and fired their volley at them. Sieur de La Morliere was the first to be killed by several gunshots. The Indians of our party, seeing their precautions made useless, decamped each in his own direction. The soldiers held out for some time, notably the man named Boisdors, sargeant, who was overwhelmed by numbers, covered with wounds. After the most stubborn resistance and after having used up all his ammunition [he] sold the rest of his life for knife blows.” 24 Clealry boisdore was a prominent citizen in the area. The bayou presently called Mulatto is often also called Bayou Boisdore as seen in documents dated from 1788 and 1828 respectively. (American State Papers, Public Lands, Vol. V, :784-5; Swanson, 1988). It may be that the Boisdores never moved on the land, even though Boisdore is credited with building the “Claiborne House” in 1800. Luis apparently died in 1788 (Succession of Louis Boisdore, 1788; NO Genesis, no. 14, 124-132) and his widow would attempt, with marginal success to confirm the original deed first with the Spanish authorities and after with the US officials. Augustin Mallet is mentioned as the caretaker of the Boisdore claim, in the original deed. " === Vacherie de Monsieur Boisdore === The Map of the Rigolet and the mouth of the Pearl River, Louisiana and Mississippi that is attached identify s the " Vacherie de Monsieur Boisdore" area from Bay de St Louis to the Pearle river. Inscribed on the top of the map is the defined area. {{Image|file=Barbeau-234-1.jpg |align=r |size=m |caption= Vacherie de Monsieur Boisdore" (Louis Joseph Barbeau dit Boisdore). }} Louis Barbeau dit Boisdore was given a grant by the Spanish Governor of Louisiane for the purpose of cultivating and cattle production. "Vacherie" refers to cattle production. He probably received the grant for his service as a Spanish officer in the American Revolution. First, Louis's wife and later his heirs formally applied to the United States Government for an American deed to the property justified from the Spanish Land Grant that in the Louisiana purchase was conditioned for application. Various results took place that changed the ownership and status of the original land grant. The Barbeau dit Boisdore ancestors never recovered the land. '''(Note:''' An excellent research report by "S.G. Thigpen" can be found at : http://www.hancockcountyhistoricalsociety.com/reference/vf.php?t=subjects&vf=BSL%201950%20To%201969&i=1 ) The Spanish authorities during Louis's time often used Luis Boisdore instead of Louis Joseph Barbeau dit Boisdore to identify Louis.

This document, and those associated with it, provides evidence for possession in Hancock County from the time of Bienville throughout the multinational history of the County. In the process, a number of names will repeat; further in this text, the significance of each will be addressed in separate sections. The Boisdore family received their deed in Hancock County in 1781.5 They were related through marriage to the Collon family, and the Favres. Like many French settlers they moved from Mobile to New Orleans to escape the British occupation of West Florida that began in 1763. They took possession of the region upon the defeat of Great Britain and the return of Spanish rule. The name Boisdore still appears on topographic maps, bayous, and in some descriptions of the Ancient Earthwork, also known as the Boisdore Fortification. Many of the early historical characters that would inhabit southwest Hancock County are mentioned in the deed transaction of Charles Souvigny and John Baptiste Roussere (or Rousseve). Among them were Bienville, Diron D’Artaguette, LaLande, Boisdore, Meminger and Collon. We will meet each one and more as we progress through our history. On the 10th March 1788, twenty arpens tract by forty deep, lying on Pearl River, was granted by Stephen Miro to Charles Souvigny. The same quantity of land was granted on the 2nd of June 1788 by governor Miro to John Baptiste Roussere, Roussere having purchased the title of Charles Souvigny. The two grants were united in favor of John Baptiste Roussere by John Morales, on June 21, 1805, William Crawford, commissioner. The original grant, dated 7 November 1733, by M. Bienville to M. Diron has not been produced, and is not mentioned except for the conveyance from Charles Marie de La Lande and his wife to Joseph Barbant de Boisedore. There is no known evidence that M. Diron was the original grantee. However, de la Lande the first seller appears to have been confirmed to Bienville by D’Abbadie, Director General of New Orleans. The chain of title from M. Bienville to the present claimant is therefore unbroken. Confirmed grant given by Miro (Morales), Trudeau survey, grant of Souvigny and Roussere united, 1600 arpens, 7 miles above Pearl’s mouth at Rigolets, bound by land granted to the widow Meminger, late Margaret Collon and other side vacant. Parallel boundaries run back N81d 30 m E (needle declination 8d30ne). Confirms that these grants were made 10 March and 2 June 1788 by Miro, 21 June 1805, John Ventura Morales. The Boisdore claim was still being debated when the area became part of the United States in 1816. Together with their neighbors and successors, the Boisdore, Favres, Sauciers, Rousseve and Collon these families populate the County to this day. Many other settlers, British, Spanish, American and Indians are discussed throughout this book. Their land transactions, personal letters and official documents serve to put a human face on the archaeological and historical reconstruction of their lives and times from the mid-18th to the mid 19th centuries. It is imperative in historical archaeology, to identify and delineate the land boundaries and transactions of early settlers. Historic maps, deeds, surveys and wills provide the location of buildings and the historical context for dating artifacts and features. In the project area we are fortunate to have the works of world-renowned surveyors. The systematic mapping of the Northern Gulf Coast of Mexico or the region known as Spanish West Florida began in earnest during the British Period (1763-1781). We will depend on the works of British surveyor George Gauld and his Spanish colleagues Charles Laveau Trudeau and his assistant Vincente Pintado for many of the early plats and maps of the study area. US surveyors like Joseph Collins and Elihu Carver will enter the story as we move from the early colonial period toward the end of the Civil War. " ===Boisdore family of New Orleans === Historical and Family excerpts. Plauche near Bayou Rd; BOISDORE, FRANCOIS [(http://files.usgwarchives.net/la/orleans/history/directory/1842ad-i.txt)] 1832 New Orleans City Directory: Boisdore Francois builder c. Orleans & Burgundy Boisdore (sic) Adelaide, Miss Bayou Road n. Treme Boisdore (sic) Chevalier gunsmith Villere n. Ursuline [(http://files.usgwarchives.net/la/orleans/history/directory/1832nocd.txt)] " The Boisdore family were prominent for over a hundred years in the development of Faubourg Treme. (New Orleans) Between 1800 and 1841 Francois Boisdore, free man of color, owned land on Esplanade between Treme and Marais. “In 1828 he contracted to build a maison de maitre on Bayou Road at Rue Treme for Marcely Cornu. In that same year on May 24 Boisdore married Josephine Sophia Livaudais, attesting in the marriage record that he was the natural son of Dubruisson Boisdore and Adelaide Boisdore. Plan book 85, folio 14 in the New Orleans notarial archives shows F. Boisdore buying three lots on Villere corner Bayou Road in 1841. He sold 1260 Esplanade in 1844. This Francois Boisdore and his neighbor Louis Dollioie thwarted the city's attempt to widen Esplanade through their plantations until a fair and proper price could be agreed upon. The negotiations lasted from 1832 to 1837. A plan ordered for the sale of fifteen lots by another neighbor, Frenchman Jean Mager, was drawn by surveyor Bourgerol in January of 1839. The Boisdore and Dolliole land was clearly shown. Boisdore had the remainder of his land surveyed and auctioned in 1844. The family continued to be prominent in land development, business, culture, and politics. “Francois Boisdore, Jr., was a bookkeeper for Pierre Cazenave, a leading undertaker and em-balmer. Boisdore was a talented orator, engaged in frequent debates for the Republican cause ... and became a school teacher after the Civil War. He died in the late 1890s."‘ Louis Boisdore, free man of color, is probably the cousin of the above Francois, because at his marriage to Louise Fernandez on December 27, 1827, he stated that he was the natural son of free person of color Louis Boisdore and Charlotte Morand. M A Louis Boisdore, white native of New Orleans born in 1762, was a member of the Company of Distinguished Carabineer Militia of New Orleans and the New Orleans Militia Company in 1802. His 1802 service sheet stated that he was in robust health and not married.” A Marguerite Boisdore, free woman of color, was the cousin of Henriette Delille, who was the founder of the Sisters of the Holy Family. Marguerite owned 1609-11 St. Philip for at least a year between 1836 and 1837, indicating that she and her family were selling property in this neighborhood at the same time Francois, Sr., was selling so much land. When Julia Boisdore, mulata libre, married Felipe Hazeur, also a mulato libre, they joined together at least three influential free colored families. The marriage was consecrated in the Church of St. Louis in December of 1801, and the record listed her father as "Francisco d'Orville, captain of the company of Pardos of this Plaza"; her mother was Isabelle Boisdore, daughter of either Louis or Francois. Felipe, the natural son of Rose Hazeur, was probably educated in France as were many of Rose's natural children; his father, probably white, was unnamed.

The Old Norse word was also in use as a personal name, and this has given rise to other English and Scandinavian surnames alongside those originating as status names. The status of the peasant farmer fluctuated considerably during the Middle Ages; moreover, the underlying Germanic word is of disputed origin and meaning. Among Germanic peoples who settled to an agricultural life, the term came to signify a farmer holding lands from, and bound by loyalty to, a lord; from this developed the sense of a free landholder as opposed to a serf. In England after the Norman Conquest the word sank in status and became associated with the notion of bound servitude. Swedish: variant of Bonde.

Or you can simply add your name to the [[#Membership|Membership list]] below. All WikiTree profiles that are linked to this study so far can be seen in the corresponding [[:Category:Bonitz_Name_Study|WikiTree Category Page]] == Origins of Bonitz families == The oldest known Bonitz families are from Germany. They have their roots in Saxony. Early records date back to 1480 in the city of Zwönitz. Another branch, whose connection to Saxony is not yet proven, can be found in Zellerfeld in the Harz mountains (formerly Kingdom of Hannover). Oldest records there start with Bonitz in 1680. Besides these main lines, there are other families with the surname in Germany whose origins are not clear yet. In recent centuries, individuals of almost every Bonitz family branch emmigrated to the U.S. Most of today's Bonitz families in the USA are linked to these German immigrants. However, there is one additional Bonitz line in the U.S. whose last name is derived from the Italian family name "Abbonizzio". They are not connected to German Bonitz families. See also my private homepage at [http://www.bonitz-forum.de www.bonitz-forum.de] for more details. == Origin, meaning and distribution of the Bonitz family name == The search for the origin and meaning of the "Bonitz" surname was focused on two different approaches so far: One idea claimed that the name had a meaning in itself and probably was derived from a word of an other language (German, Slavonic, Latin, etc.). The other theory is based on the assumption that Bonitz is an indication of origin, and therefore looks for a location or place of origin which the name refers to. When looking for a meaning of the name Bonitz, theories as highly imaginative as "bean farmer" or "the good one" were developed. The old German word "bone" is interpreted as "bean, something of little value, something small, low, or inferior". The profession derived from this would mean "bean farmer". On the other hand, the Latin word "bonus" means "kind(ly), good / well, noble". The last name Bonitz therefore would describe a person with a kind and noble character. In both cases, the ending "itz" (also "icz") is explained by a local variation due to the Slavonic influences in the region. However, none of these variants is proven to date, and it was not possible to identify a person whom the description was originally assigned to. As a conclusion, the assumption of a direct meaning of the surname cannot be justified to this day. The Dictionary of American Family Names, Oxford University Press, lists: " Bonitz, German, nickname of Slavic origin, from boniti 'to scare'. " This interpretation is also not confirmed so far. The theory of a name of origin, on the other hand, is supported by various sources. The "last names encyclopedia" at www.ahnenforschung.net for example contains the listing: Bonitz => name of origin related to the place name "Ponitz". First record: de Bonizc (about 1272 A.D.) This position is also taken by Horst Naumann in his book of family names ("Das große Buch der Familiennamen"): "de Bonizc in 1272". H. Grünert also indicates in his book "Family names in the Altenburg region" that the Bonitz family name is first mentioned in 1272 as "de Bonizc". The above-mentioned village "Ponitz" is located on the small Pleisse river in the Altenburg region. The foundation of the settlement is dated to the time between 900 and 1200 A.D., when the Sorbes (Slavonic settlers) founded approximately 300 villages in the Altenburg country. The first record of the place "Ponicz" is found in a document of 1254. Regarding the meaning of the village's name, there are again two suppositions: It is a common position that the name is derived from the Slavonic word "poniz" (= to sink, to deepen, degrades, deepens) which refers to the settlement's situation in a dale. Therefore, the name Ponitz is characterized as a landscape name. Another variant goes back to the Slavonic term for "cultivation" and tries to link the place name to the widespread method of burning down primeval forest in order to convert it to farmland. All early records mentioning the settlement Ponitz were always associated with the castle of Ponitz. Due to its size, the castle and the accompanying assets were one of the most important castles in the duchy of Saxonia-Altenburg. The castle claimed responsibility for all rulings of the local hereditary and high courts for the parishes of Ponitz, Schönhain, Guteborn, Gosel, Zschöpel, and Dreussen. The oldest records of Ponitz castle date back to the year 1254. The owners at that time were the masters "of Ponicz". Fridericus de Ponicz is mentioned as a witness to negotiations, concerning the Remse monastery. : 1271 A.D. Walther de Ponitz is mentioned. : In 1274 Friedrich of Bonitz donates a mill to the monastery of Crimmitschau. : In 1303 Walther of Ponitz is listed as a member of the Altenburg town council. : 1329 A.D. Heinrich of Ponitz and Friedrich Hermann of Ponitz are mentioned. : In 1349 knight Friedrich of Ponitz is described as "proprietor of Ponitz". About 1365, the family line "of Ponitz" seems to have left the place. The castle was transferred to the Weißenbach ("Wissinbach") family, followed by a family called "Ende". In 1568 the castle was sold to Abraham of Thumbshyrn. Ever since, the Ponitz (or Bonitz) family name was never again recorded in Ponitz. Unfortunately, there are very few sources available to prove any occurrence of the Bonitz family name during the 14th and 15th century. In 1497, Jorg Bonitz is mentioned as owner of the largest property in Kühnhaide. Kühnhaide is located in Saxony at the edge of the ore mountains. Today, Kühnhaide belongs to the city of Zwönitz. It is located about 30 miles south-east of Ponitz. Starting about 1500 A.D., there are many Bonitz families recorded in Zwönitz, who, in old registers, are often written as Bonitz, Ponitz or Poniz. Later on, the "Bonitz" spelling prevailed. Since that time, Zwönitz is the place of origin most modern Bonitz families can be linked to. ==Today's distribution of Bonitz families in the USA== The surname Bonitz was introduced into the USA by immigration. As a result, there is no clear defined center or place of origin within the U.S. However, it can be noticed that the name is most seen in Pennsylvania. Other occurrences are in Ohio, New York, Wisconsin, California and Florida. The north-eastern states were originally preferred due to their good farming conditions. More recently, also more sunny locations like Florida or California were added. ==Today's distribution of the family name Bonitz in Germany== The family name Bonitz is currently present in various regions of Germany, but there is a clear concentration in Saxony. The city of Chemnitz as well as the surrounding Stollberg county show the most entries. ==Membership== Members of this BONITZ name study include: * [[Bonitz-6|Jochen Bonitz]] - I've been researching all occurances of the '''BONITZ''' surname worldwide for more than 20 years. Trying to trace their families and trying to connect different family branches. ==Related Surnames and Surname Variants== Spelling in old German church records often was inconsistent over the past centuries. Therefore, the BONITZ surname can also be found written as PONITZ, or sometimes BONIZ. As people moved to different regions, countries or even continents, the spelling was sometimes adapted locally, as well. Therefore, also variants like BONETZ, BOHNITZ, BONITS, but also BUNITZ, or BANITZ were found to be connected. So far, I have decided '''not''' to follow the spelling variants containing the German Umlaut '''Ö'''; that means BÖNITZ (BOENITZ) or PÖNITZ (POENITZ) families are not part of my studies yet. If anyone is interested - I am willing to support.

Here are some of the name variations that are associated with the name Boswell: de Bosville, de Bosvil, de Bosuelle, (derivations of the original Norman name) Boswel, Boswal, Boswall, Bosuell, Boswaill, Bosvil, Boswill, Bosswill, Bozwell, Boiswell, Baswell (these variations appear mostly in Scotland) Buswell, (seems to have started in Clipston, Northamptonshire) Many of these variations appear to be caused by scribes or priests writing the name as they heard it, as the family members were not literate at the time, and sometimes even siblings are recorded with different variations. This can create problems when choosing the correct Last Name at Birth (LNAB), and my view is that where the eccentricity in the name is likely to be caused by phonic interpretation, the LNAB should be Boswell, so they will show up in searches, and the phonic variation noted in "Other Last Names" '''Origin of the Boswell/Buswell/Boswall name''' There has been some discussion about the origins of the Boswell name, but it is widely thought the name in England evolved from the name de Bosville that is first recorded in the Roll of Battle Abbey. Most, if not all, of the Boswell lines that can trace their ancestry back to Norman times, can be traced back to one person, [[Bosville-57 | Sieur Robert de Bosville]] who, it is said, had a command in the Norman army at the battle of Senlac, or Hastings. There is discussion on whether de Bosville was his surname, or the name of his estate, or the name of his village, or just a name descriptive of the place he came from, e.g. Bos + ville = "a town by a wood. An internet search reveals that there is a village called Bosville in Normandy, half way between Le Havre and Dieppe. This seems a likely candidate for the origin of the name, as it is close to the centres of power of William of Normandy. There is certainly scope for more research here. In 2023 the web site auxpaysdemesancetres.com give the following information: Bosville is a small rural village of the Pays de Caux, surrounded by the communes of Saint-Vaast-Dieppedalle, Grainville-la-Teinturière and Cany-Barville, it is located 3 kms from Grainville-la-Teinturière the largest town around. Bosville was an important village under Roman rule. Wells, walls, coins bearing the effigy of the Roman emperor Gaius Vibius Trebonianus Gallus (206/253) are discovered on the territory. The village communicates by the valley with Gravinum (Grainville-la-Teinturière) which leads to the Durdent. In 912, Bosville was part of the fief of Grainville under the suzerainty of the county of Longueville and with the hamlets of Bieurville, Ruville and Touffrainville formed a small independent seigneury. The domain of Bosville remained in the hands of the lords of Grainville until the eleventh century. Then, a new lord takes the name of the land granted to him. A lord of Bosville is one of the knights who, under the leadership of Duke William II of Normandy called the Conqueror (1024/1087), seized England in 1066. No sources are cited for this information. Chris Gurney has written (Jan 2019): As we know, in the Farleigh Priory charter of Humphrey de Bohun, among the witnesses are Ilberto de Chaz, Bartholomew Bigod and William de Boesavill. The Bohuns came from the area south of Carentan, now represented by the villages of St. Georges de Bohon and St. Andre de Bohon; Ilberto de Chaz came from the village now known as Catz, a few miles east of Carentan, and Bartholomew was a nephew of Ilbert. To the north of Carentan, there is the village of Beuzeville-au-Plain, about 5 km NW of Carentan is the village of Beuzeville-la-Bastille, and east of Catz is the region now known as Les Veys. According to www.wikimanche.fr, these places were known about 1150 as Bosevilla in Plano, Bosevilla and Beusevilla super Vada, respectively. I think that we can therefore be confident that this William de Boesavill came from this area north of Carentan. I haven't been able to trace the other witnesses, but I imagine they were a group of friends from the same area. But note, there is no need for them to have been at Farleigh when the charter was signed; they could equally well have been at some legal centre, where legal documents were dealt with. This may have been at the King's court,or even in Normandy itself; this thought suggests that finding a name of a witness on a charter does not guarantee that said witness is anywhere near the place that the charter applies to. Therefore, all we can get from a witness name is that they existed, but not where. Unfortunately, the Farleigh charter is undated, but can be deduced to be about 1170 based on the names of the witnesses and the generations of Humphrey de Bohun, even though the Farleigh Priory may have been founded as early as 1120. If this date is correct, and William did go to England, this William is a relatively late arrival to England. But then I found this site http://www.chateaudeplainmarais.fr/fr/index.php?menu=histoire1 (When I first found it, it was all in French. But after a while, it now provides me with English text.) This refers to Robert Count of Mortain as the main lord of Beuzeville-la-Bastille in and before 1086. Their translation:- …to rely only on incontestable documents, Robert, count of Mortain, is the first lord of Beuzeville that we knew: in 1086, he assigns a prebend created for the college chapter of Mortain, in whom he grants more the dime (tenth?) of the fair of Beuzeville (deciman feric Bosonisville) (4). One of the first acts announcing the existence of the castle of Plain-Marais is the register of fiefs drawn up under Philippe-Auguste (1165-1223): he mentions for feudatories Robert de Beuzeville, holding a quarter of stronghold of Haubert, and Henri de Beuzeville for a half -fief of knight. At the same time, we see Geoffroy de Beuzeville appear as a vassal of Richard d'Harcourt, Baron of Saint-Sauveur-le-Vicomte (5). Probably this is a separate branch of the house of Aigneaux: indeed, while the latter had, and this since well before 1066, the seigneury of Carneville, in the North Cotentin, we see according to the same chessboard, erected between 1200 and 1204, that Geoffroy de Beuzeville, heir and representative of Corbin d'Aigneaux, "its eldest "(6) (A fief of hauber is, in France, in the Middle Ages and under the Old Regime, a stronghold originally owned by a knight in Normandy and Brittany.) Thus, if our family came from this area, Robert Count of Mortain, lord of Bosevilla (amongst others), may be the origin of the legendary Bosville companion of William the Conqueror. Robert of Mortain, Sieur Robert, was one of the few men definitely in the battle (though he’s not a Bosville, being the son of Herluin de Conteville). The humblest peasant or slave in that area would have bragging rights about his lord ever after! But then, since he was Lord of the ville of Bosevilla, perhaps he was our ancestor after all...?! There is also the charter of Enisan de Walton re Stone church, dated to c1130 and witnessed by Ingelger de Bohun and William de Boesavilla. The Quarr Abbey charter of Engelger de Bohun is dated to 1132, witnessed by William de Bosevilla. The association with Ingelger de Bohun suggests that these Williams (with brother? Gervase) are the same. I wonder if the 'a' ending to Boesavilla is significant (to both place and time)? William and Gervase are associated with Ingelger de Bohun, so might they come from the same area in about 1140, but the 'a' ending is dropped by 1170? If so, we also have Geoffrey and son Simon de Bosvilla about 1120-30 just to the east of Bayeux, and there is the Ricardus de Besewilla, the rent-collector for Ankerus of Lewes priory 1123-30. ------ Some researchers cast doubt on some of these claims of origin, and on the work by J.J.Boswell. Part of the problem is the variability of the spelling of surnames in the Middle Ages, and the reliability of some sources quoted. So, for example, Chris Gurney writes (Dec 2018): "I can find no primary evidence for any Sieur de Bosville at the time of William the Conqueror. In particular, there is no mention of Bosville (in any of its spellings) in the Domesday books on line. (Though there are a lot of less important Richards and Roberts without surnames. But no Martins either.) I can find no evidence of Bosvilles at Castleacre. Elias de Bosville is mentioned in Yorkshire, and brother Fulk (probably deceased) and a sister who married William son of Raven. But contemporary documents clearly state that Elias had only one heir, a daughter named Lettice, so there can be no Bosville descendants from him. An Elias, son of Hugh, is mentioned, but no surname definitely attributed. A quick search on Google shows that there was a William Blundeville who married Elizabeth Bosville, but that was in the late 1300's, not in the early 1100's... https://archive.org/stream/visitacionievisi32ryew#page/40/mode/2up Wikipedia claims that Ada, the daughter of the second earl Warrenne, married Henry (1114 - 1152), eldest son of David King of Scotland, so it wasn't an Earl Warenne who went to Scotland. Henry was half brother to Simon (II) st. Lis; this Simon founded De la Pre abbey, and a Richard, Ralph and William de Beseville also made donations thereto. Perhaps they are the origins of the Scottish Boswells? I have found a Michael de Bosseuille who had links with Faramus de Boulogne and Buckinghamshire. Perhaps he was the origin of the supposed ancestor Martin? JJB does not rate Glover, but I do rate Glover's entry that says Thomas (married to daughter of Hugh of Nash near Aylesbury) was the father of Sir John of Darfield. I have found a lot of links between the Basevilles/ Besevilles/ Bossavilles etc of Springfield, Surrey and Buckinghamshire, the key ones being Hugh de Chaccombe and the Le Flemings who were Lords of Darfield provide a path to Yorkshire." ----------- To counter this Stephen Ralph Boswell writes (Dec 2018): You said that you could find no evidence of a Bosville at the time of William The Conqueror. In 1999, my son, Paul, and I visited all of the places in England that our ancestors lived from 1066 until they came to America in about 1638. When we visited Battle Abbey, we bought a chart, in color, that had the names and crests of the principal leaders in the conqueror's army. One of the names on the chart was something like Bossuille, though not spelled that way. Someone, who may have known nothing about it, theorized that this was the Latin equivalent of Bosville. It is close enough that it could be evidence that there was a substantial Bosville among the leaders. In the next paragraph is a reference to the History of Norfolk, by Bloomfield. I have not seen that. Maybe some of the recipients have. Does it confirm that Sieur de Bossuille was, in fact, an important man in the conquest. And, does the fact that Sir Robert Bosville was the Treasurer of England, under King Rufus, show up in any contemporary records? Below are notes from my file on Sir Martin Bosville. "Sieur de Bossuille, named Robert, came over with William the Conqueror; he had a command at the Battle of Hastings, and was named in the Roll of Battle Abbey. He settled in Castleacre, Norfolk, in feof to William, Earl Warrenne." "The settlement of Sieur de Bossuille is confirmed in the History of Norfolk, by Bloomfield. He was succeeded by William, his son, in his residential estate, with others more to the south, which points to the conclusion that his father married in England,having issue, William and Clarembald. "It is not clear whether Anthony and Richard were also his sons; they may have been brothers of Robert. Richard was certainly present at the Battle of Senlac [Hastings], and would have lands bestowed upon him independent of those awarded to Sieur de Bossuille. This would account for William succeeding to the paternal estate. "Anthony is placed in this genealogy wholely on the strength of Glover's pedigree, which is, in the earlier part, clearly a fabrication (as explained in chapter ii). Although I insert Anthony's name in the pedigree, I have doubts if he ever existed, no other trace of him being discoverable; but as there was no succession, it does not affect the Genealogy. "That there was a Richard or Roger is confirmed by evidence to be given hereafter; also that he had a son, Ralph, as well as a son, Fulcon. I think it possible, as already stated, that Richard may have been a brother of Sieur de Bossuille, but whether brother or son, the succession finishes with Ralph and Fulcon, and like that of Anthony, the placing of his name in the pedigree makes no material difference, the succession being satisfactorily traced from William. "Sieur de Bossuille was undoubtedly a man of some position to have been given a command, and would have lands in proportion to his rank, not necessarily all in one county. Some of his lands appear to have been in the South, as both William and Clarembald bestowed lands on Faversham Abbey." Source: Pages 8-10, History And Genealogical Tables of the Boswells, by Jasper John Boswell, printed in 1906. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- On page 5 of the book, Fortunes of a Family, by Lady Alice MacDonald of the Isles, published in 1928, in Edinburgh Scotland, the author makes the following statement: "From both Pedigree and Memoirs [meaning the Memoirs of the Boswell Family, written by Godfrey Bosville] we learn that Sir Martin [or, Sir Robert, according to Jasper John Boswell, in his book, discussed immediately above this article] de Bosville was Treasurer of the Conqueror's Army. This assertion is to a certain extent borne out by the Roll of Battle Abbey in the History of Normandy (page 1028), which is in the Advocates Library, Edinburgh, [there is a note at the bottom of the page that says, SeeDouglas's Baronage, page 307] where we are told that the Sieur de Bosville had a considerable command in the army of William the Conqueror at the memorable battle of Hastings, where King Harold was slain. Whatever post he held, we find that Sir Martin [or Sir Robert] flourished and that he left children and lands behind him when he died and was buried at Missindry Abbey, which he is said to have founded. His wife was the daughter of Hugh Lupus, Earl of Chester, and they had three sons: Anthony, the eldest; Richard, ancestor of the Scottish branch of the family; and Clarembald, the Prior of Missindry Abbey (since called Faversham) in Kent. "And the Memoirs go on to state that in 1087 Sir Martin [or Sir Robert] was Treasurer of England to William Rufus the King, and that he died in the fifth year of the same King's reign, 1092, at his manor of Chawforth in Buckinghamshire, having held the estate twenty-six years--that is, since 1066; and they go on to say that Sir Martin [or Sir Robert] gave lands to his younger children, which was customary at that time, as money was so extremely rare, and observe that Oxspring in Kent was most likely one of his estates, for it was then the method to join the name to the nature of the place, as Bosville--an ox and a town; and Oxmuir--an Ox and a moor;--the place where the Bosvilles first settled in Scotland in the Shire of North Berwick, Richard his second son going there with Queen Margaret in 1068--Oxmuir was once called Bosville's land. The crest, like the name of the land, alludes to Bosville--It is a Bull in a Bush." On page 307 of The Baronage of Scotland, by Sir Robert Douglas, it says the following: "All our antiquaries agree that the sirname of Boseville (now Boswell) is of French extraction. "Sieur de Bosville, a man of rank and distinction, came from Normandy to England with William the Conqueror, had a considerable command in his army at the memorable battle of Hastings, where king Harold was slain, anno 1066." ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Sir Martin de Bosville, in Normandy, Treasurer to the Army of William The Conqueror." Source: Page 226, The Fortunes Of A Family, Bosville Pedigree. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Not quite ten miles due south of Saint-Valery-en-Caux in Normandy is the little village of Bosville (in these days a junction on the Rouen railway), which is still famous for its market and fair; and is still surrounded by the fertile pres sales, those good sea-mist swept meadows so excellent for cattle. Indeed, the oxen of this district were so famous that the very name of the village tells you so, Bos, being Latin for bull, and villa, for a country dwelling. This latter syllable has been turned into the French, ville=a town. "From this spot came, in the eleventh century, the progenitor of the Bosville family--Sir Martin de Bosville, Knight. "No doubt he had his castle here, where the later chateau now stands, close to the little church dedicated to St. Samson. "For Bosville and its lord, the meeting in 1065, at Lillebonne Castle, whither Duke William of Normandy summoned his vassals to consult with them as to his projected invasion of England, must have been thrilling. Most of Duke William's people were not at all anxious to make the attempt, and considered that they should not be asked to fight beyond the sea. Whether Sir Martin agreed with them or not, the meeting was big with fate for many a Norman. For Duke William prevailed in the council and presently led his barons to victory over Saxon Harold at Hastings (in 1066), and England became a mine of rich gifts for them all. "There is a paper at Thorpe written long afterwards by a descendant of the Norman knight--the fourth Godfrey Bosville--who composed Memoirs of the Bosvilles, a book which, alas! appears to have vanished, but to which reference is made by the historian Hunter in a note upon page 283 of his History of Hallamshire. The paper at Thorpe is probably part of the first rough copy of these Memoirs and is a mere fragment, but even so it is a valuable source of information as to the founding and growing of the family. Its very existence, even in its mutilated state, is rather a marvel, as its pages were all thrown about among old papers and letters in a box and were little thought of; indeed one finds upon them in several places the inscription, 'Of no Use.' "Godfrey Bosville writes in a most discursive strain, often deserting family records to soliloquise over matters such as the wickedness of monopolies, the origin of the names of village inns, etc., etc.; still, much of interest about his family can be gleaned from the few pages left. The date of these scattered leaves is fixed by the fact that one of them, used on one side for the Memoirs, is on the other side of a letter not addressed to Godfrey Bosville but to Mr. Watson, his brother-in-law. This letter is chiefly a receipt for a bill of 120 pounds, and is dated 20th July 1758. But Godfrey Bosville evidently did not hurry over his writing, as Hunter, in the second volume of his South Yorkshire, in a note on page 349, gives a copy of the following declaration: "I, Godfrey Bosville of Gunthwaite, in the year 1765, finished this account of the family according to the writings and have likewise wrote the Catalogue of the writings to which it refers, because in my younger days, I employed an attorney at a guinea a day, for three days; to destroy such as were useless; and I am afraid that he destroyed several that were at least curious. Since that time I have been taught, by Mr. John Wilson of Broomhead, to understand them in some small degree and have wrote upon them what they are, and have left this pedigree lest my successors should be guilty of the same folly with myself.' "Godfrey Bosville seems to have been helped by an Alexander Bosville, who, though he begins his letters to Godfrey, 'Honoured Sir,' yet signs himself, 'Your most affectionate kinsman and humble servant.' A letter of his, dated from London on 19 July 1694,is addressed to 'Godrey Bosville, Esquire, at Gunthwaite Hall, to be left at Edward Firth's in Sheffield, Yorkshire.' From Hunter's pedigrees we learn that this Alexander Bosville belonged to the Braithwell branch of the family and was a printer in London(see page 207). "The Memoirs seem largely to follow a Pedigree, still at Thorpe, drawn up for Francis Bosville of Gunthwaite in the year 1586 by Glover, Somerset Herald and Marshall to Norry King-of-Arms; this Pedigree, emblazoned with many coats of arms, is still in excellent preservation at the present date, 1928. "Douglas in his Baronage, under Boswell of Balmuto (page 307) remarks, a propos of Richard having reached Scotland with Queen Margaret, that he more probably came to Scotland in the reign of Margaret's son David, who had been educated in England and had formed friendships with Normans there and had brought back some to Scotland with him, bestowing lands on them. The whole article in Douglas is very interesting, and so too is the one upon Boswell of Auchinleck."

"All of the above data is from the Boswell History by J. J. Boswell. All that follows is taken from the records of the College Of Arms, London." -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- There are few similarities between the above data, and that presented in, The Fortunes Of A Family. It is obvious that much research needs to be done to reconcile these discrepancies. I have chosen to follow the charts in Jasper John Boswell's book, because it seems to be a more scholarly work than the book, Fortunes Of The Family, by Lady Macdonald Of The Isles. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Parent Tree Of The Boswell Family, prepared by Jasper John Boswell, and printed by Henry Jenkinson, of Leeds, England, 1n 1900, says the following about Sir Martin Boswell: "Sieur de Boseuile, whose Christian name is said to have been Martin, came over with William The Conqueror. He had a command at the Battle of Seniac [Hastings], and was one of the surviving officers named in the Roll of Battle Abbey made the day followingthe Battle. He died at his Manor of Chawford, Buckinghamshire, 1092." However, the author of that chart, Jasper John Boswell, corrected that statement in his book, The Boswell Family, printed in 1906. He insists that the original Bosville who came with William "The Conqueror," was named, Sir Robert. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A major narrative history of the first 100 years of the Bosville family in England, beginning with Sir Martin Bosville, in 1066, was written by Alexander Bosvile, and given to his cousin, Godfrey Bosville, under the date of 7 November 1692. The narrative history was accompanied by a genealogical chart. It shows four sons of Sir Martin Bosville: Anthony (who married Hellena Ratcliff); Gulielmus [William] (who was a witness, with his wife, to the charter of Humphrey de Bohun about the foundation of the Priory of Earnleigh, in 1125)(which wife was not known, but with which he had a son named Hugh de Bosville); Ricardus [Richard] (who had a son named Ricardus, by an unknown wife); and _______ , [Clarembald, from other sources] (made by his father, Prior of Myssindry,which was founded by his father, which appointment forbid him to marry). Robert, (Sieur De Boseuille), came over with William The Conqueror. He had a command at the Battle of Hastings, and was named in the Roll of the Battle Abbey. He settled in Castlemere, Norfolk Co., England, in feof to William Earl Warrenne.

Some family names are patronymics: Hansen, Janik, Richardson; others are names of crafts: Dyer, Baker, Smith; still others are place names, and this is where the name Boswell belongs. Back in the 6th century A.D., when France was not yet France but was still part of the Roman Empire, the countryside was covered with tracts of land we would call 'manors' and which in Latin were called 'villae'. Thus: Marcovilla, Claudiovilla, Juliovilla, each bearing the name of the Lord of the Manor. When the Franks invaded, their chiefs took the places of the Gallo-Roman feudal lords. Boson being a Frankish name, several manors in what was later to become Normandy were renamed Bosonvilla, and there are still to this day a number of communes in Normandy bearing the name of Beuzeville. Five centuries later (in 1066), William defeats Harold at Hastings, in southern England, and one of his henchmen is a noble from one of the places called Bosevil. As a member of the victorious party he is awarded tracts of land in England, and so what was up to then a place-name turns imperceptibly into a family name, at first Bosville, but later generally Boswell as the name is anglicized. The name Bosville survives in Yorkshire as the name of a prominent branch that intermarries with the Macdonalds of the Isles. The name is carried into Scotland a hundred years or so after Hastings and the Boswells of Scotland are proprietors of Balmuto and Auchinleck and produced the famous writer James Boswell in the 18th century.

You said that you could find no evidence of any Bosvilles in Castleacre. Here are some notes that are on my computer about the families of William de Bosville, and Elias de Bosville: "William De Bosseville, of Castleacre, son and heir of Robert (1), succeeded to his Father's estates in Norfolk, and elsewhere, was a Knight in feof to the Earl of Warren and Surrey, is mentioned in many Charters. He largely endowed Faversham Abbey, and gave the Church of Newton in Norfolk to the Monks of Castleacre." "This William de Bosseville, son of Robert, with Clarembald, by an English wife, succeeded to his father's estates, not only in Norfolk, but in London and elsewhere; he was a man of great distinction and repute, well recorded by charters, etc. He is first noted as a witness to a charter of Humphrey de Bohun, 1125, next in a charter of Geffrey de Mandeville, Earl of Essex, 1141, and was a benefactor to the Abbey of Walden in Essex, founded by this Geffrey de Mandeville. He also gave large possessions to the founding of Faversham Abbey in Kent. He is also mentioned in the Pipe Roll of 21 Henry I, as a landowner in Essex, pp. 53, 60, and is also found in Hearn's 'Liber Niger,' p. 29, as a tenant of the Earl of Essex, (1 1/2 fees de vet fief) but what is here granted is the manor of Springfield Hall, which Ralph de Boseville formerly held of the House of Peverel of London, by the service of two Knights (see Pipe Roll, chapter II.) Sir William Peveril held Whittington Castle, and had also a house in London. He had a daughter of uncommon beauty, by name 'Mellet,' who was won after being fought for by the grandson of the first Earl Warren, son of Philip de Warren, of Burnham Thorpe, Norfolk, the ancestor of the Irish Warrens." "This William Peveril was a natural son of William the Conqueror, according to Banks in his 'Stemmata Anglicana,' se also Glover's History of Derby, pp. 372, 376. "Geffrey de Mandeville, Earl of Essex, in the charter of the King which I describe in Chapter III, names [William de Bosseville] him as a Knight. Why he should associate himself with Geffrey is easily accounted for: William de Warren, Earl Warren and Surrey, his Lord, was with the King [William the Conqueror] in Normandy, and took the side of the Earl of Essex in the struggle between King Stephen and the Empress Maud for supremacy. Being closely associated with the Mandevilles in Norfolk, William de Bosseville would necessarily attach himself to his Lord's party, and his being a tenant of the Earl of Essex, fell in heirship through the death of Ralph de Bosevile, the last of his brother Richard's family. "His large donation of lands to the foundation of Faversham Abbey would naturally follow from family association. In Henry II's confirmation of the endowment which was made on the petition of the Lord Warren, his Lord, he undoubtedly followed a loyalfeeling, which was enhanced by the fact of his brother Clarembald being the Prior. "It appears that all the lands in the south held by various members of the family were here disposed of: 1st, Fulcon's, namely, Ospringe on Kent; 2nd, William's, Southwark and some other part of London; 3rd, Clarembald's, Westbrook in Ospringe, with Godwinstow and Bosindina in Surrey. These appear to have been considerable gifts, but perhaps at that time very little more than waste lands, and may mean but portions of lands in these places. "William could spare his property for so good a cause, and having his settlement in Norfolk, would not feel the loss. With Clarembald a Monk, and Richard, Ralph and Fulcon dead, the southern association ceased. William de Boseville also gave the Church at Newton in Norfolk to the Monks at Castleacre Priory." Source: Page 23-25, History and Genealogical Tables of the Boswell Family, by Jasper John Boswell, 1906. ------------------------------------------------------ "Robert de Bosseville was succeeded by his son William (so named probably after de Warren) in his estates at Castleacre and elsewhere; he also settled there and followed the fortunes of the Earls of Warren and Surrey, as much or more so than his father. From this William's public deeds and actions, we can gather the immense estates he possessed not only in Norfolk, but also in London and Kent, in every action of gift or otherwise he follows the Warren interest. He joins the forces of Geoffrey de Mandevilleas a Knight, not only because this Geoffrey was of Norfolk extraction, but because his Lord Warren, supported this Geoffrey de Mandeville (who was Earl of Essex) in the dispute between King Stephen and the Empress Maud for the English crown, his immediate Lord being in Normandy. He could have done it for nothing else but only by request or to please his Lord or in his interest, as he required no remuneration. He did have remuneration which he passed on to his son Otuel who was afterwards Geoffrey de Mandeville's chief tenant in Essex, and one of his Knights. Had De Mandeville's actions been more successful, perhaps William might have gained a title. William de Bosseville gave a donation by charter of land and a church in Norfolk to the monks of Lewes Priory, which was confirmed by his successors. This Priory was the pet institution of the Warren family, founded by the first Earl Warren and Gundred his wife; next find this William de Bosseville giving large estates to the endowment of Faversham Abbey, of lands in Southwark,Kent, etc. This endowment had a double interest to William, first, because it was made on the Lord Warren's petition for a charter; to be confirmed by King Henry II, and secondly, because his own brother Clarembald was Prior of the Abbey. This Clarembald also bestowed his estates in the south of England on the endowment, and with these large gifts by the various Bosevilles to Faversham Abbey, all connection with lands in the south of England ceases. The whole family of the Boswells appear after this to be settled in Norfolk on lands in the Warren fee. William de Boseville was succeeded in Castleacre by his son John who resided there. He married into the influential family of the Mounteneys of Yorkshire, in which county he must have had estates, and was buried in Barnborough Church, Yorkshire. John was succeeded at Castleacre by his son, Wakeline de Boseville, who married Agatha de Haddeston and succeeded to Haddeston, j.u., in addition to his father's estates. Wakeline was succeeded by Robert and Robert by his son William de Boseville of Haddeston, who dying s.p., his widow Marjory settled the Norfolk estates in 1314 on Robert de Boseville, a Yorkshire relative."

Elias on his return from the Crusades was granted new lands by theWarren family under their lordship in the Connisborough fee, Yorkshire, where he settled. He married a daughter of the family of the Newmarches, who appear also to have been in the same Crusade with Elias, and probably they returned together, having the Warrenrelic in charge between them, for they appear to have had about an equal share of the lands at Harthill, etc., in the Connisborough fee. Connisborough Castle was then held by William, son of Ada Warren, daughter of the 2nd Earl, and sister of the 3rd LordWarren. Ada had married Henry, Earl of Huntingdon, the eldest son of David, King of Scotland, and by him had Malcolm, William and David.

This Helias, he further notices, was of a very illustrious family who were long associated with the Warren family, being the son of one William de Bosevill, an eminent Knight dwelling on the Earl of Warren and Surrey's estates; and lastly he mentions as fa ras this history is concerned that this Helias had a son Robert, who was a constant companion of William, son of Ada, William the 3rd Earl's sister's son, who afterwards ascended the throne of Scotland, where he was supported by faithful adherents.

This latter [Elias] gave lands to Nostell Abbey in Yorkshire, and his gift was confirmed in 1159,the fifth year of Henry II, according to Dugdale's Monasticon (vol. ii, page 37). This benefaction to Nostell by Elias de Bosville, the first of that surname to be found in South Yorkshire, where Bosvilles were afterwards so numerous, was confirmed by William'de Warren,' son of Prince Henry of Scotland, Count of Northumberland, by Ada, a sister of the last Earl of Warren of the old line. This William 'de Warren' became, in 1165, William The Lion, King of Scotland. Hunter, in his South Yorkshire (vol. i, pages376 and 377), enters a copy made by him of this confirmation which he found in the great Chartulary of Nostell (now in the Cotton Library, Vesp. E 19 f.57). The name of Elias is there recorded as Helias de Bossavilla, and Nostell is called Nostlat. Huntersays that this document shows that the Warren part of Barnborough was held by Elias de Bosville before the Newmarches. All this seems a proof of the old tradition that a Bosville was the friend of that Earl of Warren who became King William The Lion of Scotland."

Your comments about Elias having no Bosville heirs doesn't match with the information that is in the above sources. Could all of the authors be wrong, or did one person make the mistake, and all of the others copy the information. That is common in genealogical research. In my file, I have three children of Elias: John de Bosville, eldest son, Knight; Robert de Bosville, Nobleman; and Elizabeth de Boseville. His son John, was the one who married Alice de Darfield in most of the sources available to me. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- See here for more on the Normans and their origins, including the extract below. http://clanhay.net/HISTORY/Normandy_Roots.php "But the majority of the Scots names that derive from the incoming Norman-Scots have their roots in Normandy and the places from which they sprang are still in existence. The port of Dieppe is a good place to start ..... and shortly after leaving here on the coastal D75 road is St. Valery. A short detour inland is the hamlet of Bosville from whence sprang the famous Norman Scots family of Boswell. They first obtained lands in Berwickshire but by marriage later acquired lands in Fife and Ayrshire. " --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The lines of descendants from Robert de Bosvile formed two main groups, in Yorkshire and in Scotland, where the first use of the anglicised version of the name Boswell is seen in Sir John Boswell, Knight of Balgrevy, who died in 1429, and who was the ancestor of all the Scottish Boswells that have been traced to date. In Yorkshire the name changed even earlier with Thomas Boswell of Ardsley who married in 1362 Alice, the daughter of John de Gunthwaite, and started the Gunthwaite line of Boswells. Before these two men, earlier generations had all used the name Bosville or de Bosville, but as spelling was quite variable in those days, it was also rendered as Bosvil, Bosueille, Boseville, etc. It is highly likely that there are other lines, especially those descended from younger sons (cadet lines) which have not been traced back this far, or connected to the lines already traced, but it is difficult to trace these lines back without good documentary evidence. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Extract from THE BATTLE ABBEY ROLL WITH SOME ACCOUNT OF THE NORMAN LINEAGES. BY THE DUCHESS OF CLEVELAND, Published LONDON : JOHN MURRAY, ALBEMARLE STREET.1889. found at http://www.battle-abbey.co.uk/battleabbeyrollw01battuoft_tjw.htm#Busseuille "Busseuille, or Bosevile (Leland). The Bosviles probably derived their name from Boschevile, a town between Pont Audemer and Honfleur, now famous for its market and fair. Or, according to another authority, from Boseville, near Caudebec. A William de Boseville is a witness to a charter of Humphrey de Bohun in 1125. Michael, son of William de Boseville, was a benefactor to Warden Abbey, Beds, and is spoken of by Geoffrey, Comes de Maundevyle, as his knight, in the same chartulary. Again, a Richard and Ralph de Boseville were early benefactors to the house of De la Pré, near Northampton ; and in support of the presumption that this Ralph was of the same family as the Bosvilles of Yorkshire, it is observed that the device upon his seal was an ox issuing from a holt of trees, a badge used afterwards by the Yorkshire family. Elias de Boseville, who flourished before the year 1159, when Henry II. confirmed his donation to Nostell Priory, was probably the ancestor of the latter. He appears to have been a person much connected with the Newmarches, to which connection the Bosviles owed the five fusils in fesse they bore on their shield, afterwards distinguished by three bears' heads, or some other figure in chief. Sir John Bosvile, living 1252 and '54, married the heiress of Darfield. They were afterwards seated at Ardsley and Newhall, Chevet, and Peniston-Coningsburgh, Warmsworth, Braithwell, and Ravenfield, Yorkshire, and Belhouse Grange, Notts. Their vast possessions must have placed them in the very first rank of the gentry of the North. Robert Bosvile was Constable of Pontefract in 1333. Thomas Bosvile, the last male, who died in 1639, desired in his will that he might be buried among his ancestors in the quire of the parish church of Darfield." Hunter's South Yorkshire. At the east end of the south choir one of their monuments, with effigies of a knight and lady of the time of Richard II. the knight wearing the collar of SS as a Lancastrian badge is still to be seen. The name did not perish with this Thomas, but continued to be represented by various junior branches ; and one of them, that had been seated at Gunthwaite, in the same county, from the time of Henry VI., survived till 1813. The first Boseville there was Richard, who died in 1501, and had Gunthwaite and other lands by gift of his mother ; but he and his two immediate successors chiefly resided at Beighton, in Derbyshire, where they were farmers of the estate of Lord Dacre of the South. In the following generation, Ralph, a younger brother of Godfrey (the first of that name of the family), acquired a large fortune as clerk of the Court of Wards, and " bought Bradbourne, near Seven Oaks and Eynsford in Kent, where the descendants of his two sons, Henry and Sir Robert, were among the principal gentry of the county as long as they continued." Another Bosville, the heir of Gunthwaite, " was a captain in Ireland, and there either slain or lost in a bog." His son, Godfrey, married Margaret Greville, a cousin of Lord Brooke, settled among his wife's kin, at Wroxall, in Warwickshire, and adopted their politics. He represented Warwick in the Long Parliament, held the rank of a colonel in the Roundhead army, and was present at the defence of Warwick Castle and the taking of Coventry in 1642. The last heirs-male were the two sons of another Godfrey Bosville (obt. 1784), and both of them soldiers; one lain in Flanders, and the other died s. p. in 1813, leaving two sisters, married to Lord Macdonald and Viscount Dudley. The elder, Elizabeth Lady maid, inherited the property, and her son Godfrey added the name of Bosville to his own. At Rossington, a few miles from Doncaster, lies buried Charles Bosvile, one of this family, " still remembered in the traditions of the village as having established a species of sovereignty among the gypsies, who, before the enclosures, used to frequent the moors about Rossington. His word amongst them was law ; and his authority so great, that he perfectly restrained the pilfering propensities for which the tribe is censured, and gained the entire good will for himself and his people of the farmers and the people around. No gipsy for many years passed near Rossington without going to pay respect at the grave of him whom they called their king; and I am informed that even now, if the question were asked of any of the people who still haunt the lanes in this neighourhood, especially about the time of Doncaster races, they would answer that they were Bosvile's people He was a gentleman with an estate of about £200 a year, and is described by De la Pryme, of Hatfield, as * a mad spark, mighty fine and brisk, and keeps company with a great many gentlemen, knights, and esquires, and yet runs about the country.' " —Hunter's South Yorkshire. He was the predecessor of Bamfylde Moore Carew, who several years later, adopted a similar mode of life. The headstone on his grave had disappeared even before Hunter's time ; but it continued for a number of years to be a place of pilgrimage for the gipsy tribes, who used to visit it once a year, and there perform some of their accustomed rites. One of these (a curious survival of the old heathen libations) consisted in pouring a flagon of ale upon the grave. I have met with the name in several other counties. "In 1180, 100s rent in Higham and Wykin were given by Robert Bloet, in fee simple, to Guarinus de Busa Villa." —Nichol’s Leicestershire. In Norfolk, Boseville's Manor (or Hedeston), was named from Walkelin de Boseville, who acquired it in 1199 by his wife, Agatha de Hedeston. It continued for nearly two hundred years in the name, for the last possessor, Adam de Boseville, died in 1363.

Boyd Surname Name Meaning, Origin, History, & Etymology[https://coadb.com/surnames/boyd-arms.html Boyd Family Crest, Coat of Arms and Name History] This is a Scottish habitational/locational last name denoting a person from the island of Bute in the Firth of Clyde, with the Gaelic name of this location being Bód or Bóid. The marquess of Bute in Gaelic is Morair Bhoid. The first Boyds were vassals of De Morevilles in the regality of Largs, and quite likely may have come in their train from England. Another source asserts this is a baptismal/patronymic name deriving from the nickname Boidh, an Erse or Gaelic name, meaning yellow, or fair or yellow-haired. The Gaelix word buidhe means yellow-haired. The name is common in Ulster, Northern Ireland, where it is sometimes spelled O’Boyd. In some cases, it is an Anglicized version of a Manx (Isle of Man) name similar to the Irish surname MacElwee. Some claim the name derives from MacGiolla Buidhe, which means the son of the yellow-haired youth. One author also notes that Boyd is the name of a river in England that combines with the Avon. It should also be noted there was a family of this surname that were established in Shropshire, England who were of Norman descent and were granted lands by William the Conqueror in the twelfth century AD. They are now represented by the Earls of Errol. Family tradition asserts the family descended from Walter Fitz-Alan, scion of the Royal Stewarts of Scotland. He became the 1st High Steward of Scotland around 1150 AD and he owned lands in Ayrshire and Renfrewshire. His son Simon had a son named Robert, who had blond hair (NOTE: BOYD means ''blond hair''). The family built Kilmarnock Castle, later called Dean Castle[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dean_Castle Dean (Kilmarnock) Castle on Wikipedia.org], which served as the main seat of the family. ---- '''Below is the current description of the Family which is referenced by the Standing Council of Scottish Chiefs:''' The Boyds were a significant family in the South West of Scotland. Theirs is said to be a descriptive name, deriving from the Gaelic ‘buidhe’, meaning fair or yellow. The original fair-haired man was said to have been Robert, nephew of the first High Steward of Scotland. This explanation has, however, been challenged, as the Steward’s retinue tended to be Normans, rather than Gaelic as the surname would suggest. As an early form of the name, ‘de Boyd’ is mentioned, it is possible that the name refers to a place, rather than a quality. The Isle of Bute, which in Gaelic is rendered Bhòid, was owned by the High Stewards, so it may have been given to a younger son, who then took the placename as his designation. The first Boyd mentioned in Scottish sources is Sir Robert Boyd. He became one of Bruce’s commanders at the Battle of Bannockburn and was rewarded by lands, including Kilmarnock and other holdings in Ayrshire. At Kilmarnock, the Boyds built the impressive Dean Castle, which survives today. The fortunes of the family continued to advance and they were raised to the peerage by James II. Lord Boyd was appointed one of the regents to the young James III. Lord Boyd was appointed Great Chamberlain and his son, Thomas, was married to Princess Mary, the king’s sister, with the title of Earl of Arran. However, the family’s rapid rise made them many enemies. In 1469 Lord Boyd and his son, the Earl of Arran, was summoned to answer charges brought against them. Lord Boyd made his escape to England but his brother, Sir Alexander, was executed for treason. The family were restored to royal favour when Robert, a descendent of the younger son of the first Lord Boyd, received confirmation from Queen Mary of all the estates and dignities of the family. After the queen’s escape from Loch Leven castle, Lord Boyd joined her at Hamilton and fought at the Battle of Langside in 1568. William, Lord Boyd was created Earl of Kilmarnock in 1661. The fourth Earl was a Jacobite who fought at Culloden, where he was captured, and was beheaded in 1746. All the Boyd titles were declared forfeit but his eldest son succeeded through his mother to the Earldom of Erroll and assumed the name Hay. In 1941 the brother of the twenty-second Earl resumed the name of Boyd and succeeded to the barony of Kilmarnock. Today, branches of the Boyd kindred can be found all over the world. The Standing Council of Scottish Chiefs was founded in 1952 by Diana Hay, 23rd Countess of Erroll, who at the time held the title of Lord High Constable of Scotland (granddaughter of Victor Alexander Sereld Hay, 21st Earl of Erroll and 4th Baron Kilmarnock, KCMG, and direct descendants of James Hay, 15th Earl of Erroll (20 April 1726 – 3 July 1778) styled Lord Boyd from 1728 to 1746, Scottish nobleman and the son of William Boyd, 4th Earl of Kilmarnock).Thanks to [[Boyd-13613|Christian Boyd]] for a [https://www.facebook.com/groups/7644244762/user/714368223/ facebook] post on 14 February 2023 from him. === Clan Boyd HOB === If you are interested in joining the Clan Boyd HOB group go [https://clanboyd-hob.groups.io/login?r=https%3A%2F%2Fclanboyd-hob.groups.io%2Fg%2Fmain here] to request a login to the group (Note: This is not affiliated with WikiTree). == Sources == * [https://www.wikitree.com/genealogy/BOYD WikiTree Surname Genealogy Page for BOYD] * [https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/search?&lastname=Boyd Find A Grave website search for BOYD] * [https://www.surnamedb.com Name Origin Research] * [https://homepages.rootsweb.com/~lboyd/BoydDataBase10262000.htm Rootsweb: Northern Ireland Boyds Database] * [https://www.electricscotland.com/history/nation/kilmarnock.htm The Scottish Nation - Kilmarnock] * [https://richardgwynallenblog.wordpress.com/category/boyd-family/ Boyd Family - Two lines: William and Robert (this traces Robert's line)] * [https://www.ebooksread.com/authors-eng/william-p-william-philip-boyd/history-of-the-boyd-family-and-descendants-with-historical-chapter-of-the-anc-dyo.shtml "History of the Boyd family, and descendants, with historical chapter of the Ancient family of Boyds..." by Frederick Tilghman Boyd, Ph.D., 1962.]

The hope is other researchers like you will feel free to contribute additional information you might have come across too, INCLUDING YOUR SOURCE, under the appropriate sections. Much of a family's history is in its name, and I look forward to us building a useful resource for new and experienced researchers alike. If you have any questions specifically about this page or topic, please contact the project leader or add your questions to the G2G bulletin board. '''NOTE:''' To keep things more visually divided and so easier to research, when switching to information from another source, say a few introductory words about it in the first line and italicize it.

According to Researcher Jim McClenahan, even the experts seem unable to agree on a specific Clan affiliation for the Breckenridges, as I've discovered from my own research. Depending on the source, it is generally concluded that their affiliation is with one of these three Clans: McDonald, Campbell or Douglas. However, after 1995, The Clan Douglas Society of North America identified the Breckinridges as a "Sept" (families that followed another family's chief) to their Clan. But for the sake of thoroughness, my plan is to over time list here, all statements and sources found through research pertaining to clan identity. ==Name History== ''Dr. George F. Black, in his "The Surnames of Scotland", 1946, writes'', "The names Breckenridge and Brackenridge are confined mainly to '''Lanarkshire''' and '''Ayrshire'''. The surname is derived from the lands of '''Brackenrig''' in the old Barony of Avondale in '''Lanarkshire'''." Dr. Black mentioned the name as having been in use as "John of Bracaniyggis in '''Glascow''' in 1454 and Brackanrig in 1505."Black, George F. The Surnames of Scotland: Their Origin, Meaning, and History. Edinburgh: Birlinn, 1993. Print. ''Brackenridge Surname History states,'' "The Brackenridge surname can be traced back to the fifteenth century in '''lowland Scotland''' and '''northern England''' where it appears in a variety of private papers and public records. Most frequently, however, it is associated with '''Lanarkshire, Ayrshire''', and the environs of '''Glasgow'''. Variant spellings are common: Brackenridge, Breakenridge, Breakinridge, Breckenridge, Breccinridge, or Breckenridge. The earliest spellings, however, end with “rig” rather than “ridge,” suggesting an agricultural context: Brecenrigg, Brecenrig, Breckinrigg, Breconrig, Breconnrigg, etc. (A rig is the space between the furrows in a plowed field and by extension refers to the field itself.) Bracken is an undesirable wide-leafed fern that flourishes in the moist Scottish soil and is eaten by animals only as a last resort. Before Scots adopted modern agricultural practices, fields were broken up in medieval fashion into small plots separated by built-up rigs or mounds (ridges)on which weeds such as bracken proliferated. “Bracken rigs” possibly described the fields in which our ancestors labored and eventually became a family name. "Other etymologies are more exotic but less verifiable historically. Some family historians propose Highland origins, most frequently '''Argyllshire''' and surrounding environs. Taking their name from bracken-covered hills, these highlanders supposedly moved south in search of better farmland and more promising economic conditions. One writer claims that the family name sprung up spontaneously during “one of the religious wars in '''Scotland'''” when Protestants and Catholics met on a battlefield. A family named McIlvain, so the story goes, fought with the Protestants who were defeated and routed. The McIlvains, however, saved their lives by taking refuge in a ridge overgrown with tall bracken. Because of their near miraculous escape from death, in gratitude they adopted the new name of Brackenridge. "Although this story makes interesting reading, we know that the name Brackenridge existed long before any Protestant-Catholic engagements. The surname apparently is derived from the lands of Brackenrig in the old Barony of '''Avondale in Lanarkshire'''. Early references include “the yard of John Bracanrygg in '''Glasgow'''” (1454) and the mention of Robert Brakinrig as a witness to a letter of reversion (1504). In 1629 a William Brackinrig in '''Clevens''' complained of having been assaulted and in 1654 John Breckenrig is noted as having been a servitor in '''Lanarkshire''' in 1654. As far back as 1600, the name appears in the Edinburgh Marriage Register in the forms Brakinrig, Brackenrig, Braikinrig, and Brackenrigg. An entry from the Eastwood [near Glasgow] Parish Kirk Session Records, 20 November 1708 reads: “John Breakenridge was brought before the Session for cursing, swearing, and profanation of the Sabbath Day and fined 30 shillings Scots.” "Our extended Brackenridge family connections can be traced back to a cluster of Lanarkshire parishes in the vicinity of '''Glasgow''': The Barony (Glasgow), Old and New '''Monkland''', and '''Bothwell'''. Among towns of note in the latter three parishes, were '''Airdrie, Bothwell, Bellshill, Coatbridge, Holyton,''' and '''Uddingston''', as well as many small mining and farm villages such as '''Bargaddie, Rosewell, Langloan,''' and '''Whifflet.''' Our immediate family ties, however, are located in '''Old or West Monkland Parish''', an area about ten miles in length and three and a half miles wide situated along the eastern bank of the '''river Clyde''' on the outskirts of Glasgow. The name '''Monkland''' derives from a Cistercian Monastery that occupied the territory as far back as the fourteenth century.Website: Brackenridge, Page: Brackenridge Surname History [http://brackenridge.net/history/the-brackenridges/], info as of 6-22-2017 == Sources ==

It was first found in County Kilkenny (Irish: Cill Chainnigh), the former Kingdom of Osraige (Ossory), located in Southeastern Ireland in the province of Leinster. This interesting surname is the Anglicized form of the Gaelic-Irish name "O'Braion", descendant of "Braon", a byname meaning "moisture", "drop". At the present time, the name Breen is widely distributed throughout Ireland. Originally there were two septs of Breen, Mac Breens and O' Breen's. ''=== '''Daniel Breen (1894 - 1969)''''' === Dan Breen (Breen-1012) was an iconic figure of the Irish War of Independence, and later a Fianna Fail politician. He died in Dublin in 1969 and was buried in Donohill, near the place of his birth. His funeral was the largest seen in West Tipperary since his close friend and comrade-in-arms, Seán Treacy was buried at Kilfeacle in October, 1920. An estimated attendance of 10,000 mourners assembled in the tiny hamlet, giving ample testimony to the esteem in which he was held. Breen was the subject of a 2006 biography, Dan Breen and the IRA (Mercier Press) by Joe Ambrose.

Through these papers I learned that the family originally, came from the Kingdom of Hanover in Lower Saxony and that my great-grandfather, Jürgen Christian Wilhelm Brennecke, had left his home and family during the Prussion War of 1866 and had settled in the city of Znojmo in Moravia, at that time still part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. I became interested in the circumstances that caused him to leave his home and who his parents, his ancestors - my ancestors - were. My first contact many years ago, was the Parish of Berkum-Peine and Schmedenstedt. Information I received from there dated back to around 1600. The origin of our family name pointed to a fiefdom by the name of Betkenrode also mentioned as Brenneckenbrück, in the vicinity of which the family's ancestors could be traced back to 1460. Brenneckenbrueck - not far from Berkum-Peine - can be found next to Gifhorn near Brunswick. Whenever time and work allowed it, I looked for new information. However, it was only the age of computers and the Internet that, in addition to personal research on site, brought me an important step forward in my family research. Especially historical knowledge was easier to acquire and ultimately descendants of the siblings of my grandfather Max Brennecke could be found in Germany. This was probably the best result I could have wished for as a reward for this work. However, I would also like to thank all those, especially Inge and Karl Wozilka and Willhelm Brennecke, who helped with memories, documents and a lot of energy to clarify many questions of the more recent history of our family. '''ALLEIN LEBENDIG BLEIBT WAS DEM VERGESSEN IST ENTRISSEN''' (''Only what is saved from being forgotten will remain alive") === '''Annotation''' === Please note that '''D 000 Numbers''' in the text point to relevant documents which one can find in the document section. '''B 000 Numbers''' indicate letters written by family members, whilst '''F 000 Numbers''' stand for photographs of family members.

Many of us grew up assuming that the name is related to the parts of the word TO BURN ''(brennen)'' and CORNER'' (Ecke)'' and may indicate an area where coal, alcohol, or the like was burned / distilled. Well that's not the case, because the big book of surnames - age, origin, meaning - Horst Naumann, Bechtermünz-Verlag ”has the following explanation for us: The name Brennecke is derived from the first name === Brendico === which was first mentioned in 1245 and from === Brendeko filius Hildebrandi === (Brendeko son of Hildebrand) which is mentioned in registers in 1530. It is the German short form of the name Hildebrandt. More details can be found in the „Historisches Deutsches Vornamenbuch“ by Wilfried Seibicke, Volume I, A - E, Verlag de Gruyter. The first name Brand is mentioned there as a male short form, dimunitive. A composition with –brand, esp. from Hildebrand; was formerly very popular in Northern Germany.

Thanks to the help of Mr. Bernhard Williges and Dr. Walter Heering from the Heide Pharmacy in Müden an der Aller, who rummaged through the local archives for me, I was able to clarify the historical background to Brenneckenbrück. The following document, the Chronicle of Betkenrode - Brenneckenbrück, shows the change in the family name very well. If Hans Brendeke is still found as a tenant in 1615, we can find the name variants Brendeken, Brencke, Brendecke and finally the name Brenneckenbrück in 1747 === '''THE COAT OF ARMS''' === Hans Brennecke Originally only two coats of arms could be assigned to the name Brennecke. With the kind support of the Heraldic Community of Westfahlen, who should be mentioned here with thanks, it was possible to historically verify the depicted coats of arms 1 and 2 and subsequently to find the corresponding pages in Siebmacher's coat of arms books in the Austrian National Library. In the meantime, Mr. Pfeiffer from Germany advised me that there are other coats of arms. The results of my research in the picture archive of the Austrian National Library are described below as coats of arms 3 and 4. They are depicted in the German coat of arms. Coat of arms 5 and 6 from Duttenstedt, district of Braunschweig and from Alikendorf, district of Ballenstedt are registered under application numbers 3614/41 and 3854/42 in the DWR (Deutsche Wappenrolle), but have not been published. {{Image|file=Brennecke_Name_Study-5.jpg |align=r |size=m |caption=from Siebmacher. }} {{Image|file=Brennecke_Name_Study-4.jpg |align=r |size=m |caption=from Siebmacher. }} {{Image|file=Brennecke_Name_Study-3.jpg |align=r |size=m |caption=1st coat of arms. }} '''1st coat of arms''' Fox in a meadow in front of three fir trees. A deer rises from the helmet. It is a Hanoverian family crest headed by Heinrich C. Gustav Brennecke, riding forester to Misburg. The coat of arms goes back to an older one, of Friedrich Christian Brennecke around 1780 in Mechthausen near Seesen. The leadership authorization can also be traced back to this. But the coat of arms has officially been used by this forester since 1860. It is shown in this form in Siebmacher's coat of arms. {{Image|file=Brennecke_Name_Study-7.jpg |align=r |size=m |caption=from Siebmacher. }} {{Image|file=Brennecke_Name_Study.png |align=r |size=m |caption=from Siebmacher. }} {{Image|file=Brennecke_Name_Study-6.jpg |align=r |size=m |caption=2nd coat of arms. }} '''2nd coat of arms''' Also comes from the Hanover area.

'''Brendeke coat of arms''' The Dutch Brende(c)ke family is currently the best known oldest connection to our family. The roots reach back to the Brenneckenbrück estate, where their oldest proven ancestor was recorded in 1460. {{Image|file=Brennecke_Name_Study-10.jpg |align=r |size=m |caption=Brendeke . }} '''BRENDEKE FAMILY HISTORY (BRENDECKE)''' The Brendeke or Brendecke family, now based in Holland, is probably the original and more extensive line of our family. The oldest ancestor Tile Brendecke comes from Brendeckenbruck (Brenneckenbrück). This form of name appears not only in the documents describing the tenants of the Brenneckenbrück estate , but also in the early entries in the parish register in the Kingdom of Hanover. This form of name is also logical due to the secured meaning of our family name - Brendico and Brendeko filius Hildebrandi. Brenneckenbrück is located about 27 km east of Peine, where our oldest ancestor, Barthold Brennecke, is mentioned in the fruit interest register around 1600. Hans the Elder Brendecke lived between 1555 and 1634, we do not know his siblings by name, so that no relation to any godfathers can be established here. Only the accumulation of the first names Henning, Heinrich and Hans allow for assumptions. === '''HISTORY OF THE BRENNECKE FAMILY''' === The church records of the parish of Berkum-Peine-Schmedenstedt only begin in 1681 with baptisms, in 1689 with weddings and in 1719 with burials. There are gaps in the marriage books between 1700 and 1723 and between 1711 and 1718 the church register is difficult to read. Since the spelling of the name varied greatly in the 18th century, we have chosen today's spelling, but have included it where a variant was detectable. '''Barthold Brennecke''' Around 1600 the ancestor of our family is mentioned in the fruit interest register of the municipality of Berkum bei Peine, Hanover. Barthold was the father of '''Hans Brennecke''' who is listed in the fruit interest register of the municipality Berkum bei Peine in 1618. Hans was the father of '''Heinrich 1 Brennecke''' who died before 1719. His wife - Hinrich Brendeken's mother, widow Homans - whose actual name we do not know, was born in 1665 and mother of the son Heinrich 2 Brennecke. She died on October 20, 1745 at the age of 80 years and 6 months. '' Birth Book Entries:'' Henrich Brendicke's son Hans: born 7.4.1682 died 14.1.1756 (D 002) Hinrich Breneken son Hinrich: born May 24, 1687 Heinrich Brenneckes daughter Bou ...: born 20.05.1689 '''Heinrich 2 Brennecke''' was born on May 24th, 1687. Entries in the register of the parish of Berkum near Peine (D 002) mention that he died on January 9, 1756 at the age of 69. His undisclosed wife, born in 1692, died on November 1st, 1769. They were the parents of '''Berend Brennecke''' from Berkum, who was born on April 6, 1730 in Peine near Hanover as the 10th child of his parents and died on October 4, 1787 at the age of 57 in Schmedenstedt. Birth Book Entries (D 001) the following godfathers are listed. '' A non-direct relationship is the "godfather". This is can also mean a good friend. In the past, however, this was often the term for a godfather who was often in a direct relationship and a sibling.'' However, based on the respective years of birth, we assume that these are siblings of the baptized child. Christian Brenneke: born 5.7.1721 Heinrich Brennecken: born 27.1.1725 Anna Margareta: born October 19, 1727 Behrnt Brenneken: born April 17, 1728 Ilse Brennecke: born April 17, 1728 Of the last two children it is not explicitly mentioned that they were twins, but note that the family name for each was spelled differntly. Berend Brennecke was married on September 26, 1758 in Schmedenstedt to Anna Ilse Degering, who was born on December 3, 1739 in Schmedenstedt and died on November 5, 1810, after 23 years of widowhood, at the age of 71 in Schmedenstedt. They were the parents of '''Johann Friedrich Brennecke''' who was born on March 3, 1762 in Schmedenstedt near Hanover and died on December 5, 1853 in Schmedenstedt. Since June 26th, 1774 he was married in Schmedenstedt to Anna Elisabeth Meyer, who was born on October 25th, 1774 in Schmedenstedt and died on December 3rd, 1821. Anna Elisabeth Meier is written Meyer in the church book. It can be assumed that in 1938 the spelling was "Germanized" called "Aryan evidence". The spelling of the church register was therefore adopted. Entries in the birth register of the following siblings on February 10th, 1760 Berend Brendecke baptized a daughter, Name of Ilse Maria on April 18, 1762, Berend Brennecke baptized a daughter, Name Anna Maria on August 5th, 1764 Berend Brendecke baptized a son, Name of Berend Heinrich There is also an entry regarding a brother of Johann Friedrich Brennecke: on January 25th, 1760 Berend Brennecke was born a son - name Johann Berend. This is in close proximity to Ilse Maria, born on February 10th, 1760, so that it could have been twins. It is not known why the baptism was not registered. Johann Friedrich and Anna Elisabeth Meyer were the parents of Johan Behrend Brencke born 7.1.1799 Johan Georg Brennecken born April 29, 1802 Johann Heinrich Behrend Brennecke born 11/22/803 Johann Friedrich Ludewig Brennecke born March 27, 1806 Ilse Margaretha Elisabeth Brennecke born July 20, 1809 Johann Christian Ferdinand Brennecke born 2.5.1812 and Julius Wilhelm Brennecke of him we have the certificate from the church book of the Evangelical Lutheran parish of Schmedenstedt, born and baptized (D 003) (D 006), born in 1816 no. 4 which says: the name of the child Julius Wilhelm, birthday March 1, 1816, 8 o'clock in the evening. Parents Halbspaenner Johann Friedrich Brennecke and his wife Anna Elisabeth, née Meyer, christening day March 10, 1816 to Schmedenstedt. Gevattern 1. Wilhelm 2. Julius Siedentop 3. Anna Dorothea Siedentop 4. Ilse Margaretha Niemaier. We also know from the certificate from the church book of the Evangelical Lutheran parish of Schmedenstedt, called up and married, year 1840 no. 2- 10.7.1840 (D008) th name of the groom Brennecke, Julius Wilhelm, age 24 1/3 year, father of the groom, Johann Friedrich Brennecke, grandfather in a local Halbspaenner Hof. Name of the bride Johanna Dorothea Maria, née Schridde, age 23, father of the bride Johann Georg Christian Schridde, oldfather in a local Kothhofe. Copulation Day July 10, 1840 in Mütze. ''Copulation in Mütze (Bonnet) ”means that the bride“ with Mütze ”(.ie without wreath and veil) had broken the vow of chastity before marriage. At that time the pastor who was obliged to register the wedding had to ask the question of chastity.'' We know from the wife, Johanna Dorothea Maria Schridde, the certificate from the church book of the Evangelical Lutheran parish of Schmedenstedt, born and baptized (D 007), born in 1817 No. 13. The name of the child Schridde Johanna Dorothea Maria and the birthday on June 26, 1817 in the evening at 9 a.m. Parents Johann Jürgen Christian Schridde, Kothsass and his wife Maria Dorothea, née Söllig. Baptism day July 3, 1817 at Schmedenstedt. Gevattern 1. Jürgen Meier, 2. Johann Schridde von Düngelbeck, 3. Ilsa Maria Leiner, 4. Dorothea Keinetorf. The wife Maria Dorothea Söllig is written in the birth certificate of her child, but in her own birth entry Anna Dorothea. It is likely that either her husband, or more likely the registrar, was wrong about the child's birth registration. The nickname may have been Dorothea because it was common then to use the last baptismal name as a nickname. Julius Wilhelm Brennecke's marriage certificate mentions the father of the bride with Johann Georg Christian Schridde, who, however, was named Johann Jürgen Christian Schridde according to the birth registration of his daughter. Since he probably announced the birth of his daughter to the pastor himself, the latter should be correct. Johanna Dorothea Maria died in 1897 on April 29 at the age of 80. They were the parents of Ilsa Maria Dorothea Christiane Brennecke born 14.9.1840 Julius Heinrich Wilhelm Brennecke born November 9, 1842 Heinrich Friedrich Christian Brennecke born 7.4.1848, died 6.9.1866 Ilse Dorothee Wilhelmine Brennecke born 9/25/1850 Carl Friedrich Ludwig Brennecke born 3.9.1853 Heinrich Friedrich Carl b. January 21, 1856 and our ancestor '''Jürgen Christian Wilhelm Brennecke''' In the certificate from the church book of the ev. - luth. Kirchengemeinde Schmedenstedt, Born and Baptized (D 004) (D 009), Born 1845, No. 17 is written: Name of the child Brennecke Jürgen Christian Wilhelm, birthday 5/8/1845, 9 a.m., conjugal. Parent farmer Julius Wilhelm Brennecke and his wife Johanna Dorothe Maria, née Schridde baptism day 10.8.1845 to Schmedenstedt. Gevattern 1. Jürgen Walking, 2. Christian Brennecke from Woltorf, 3. Elisabeth Mayer.   The godfather Christian Brennecke from Woltorf, mentioned in the birth certificate of Jürgen Christian Wilhelm Brennecke, was a brother of the child's father Julius Wilhelm Brennecke and may have been identical to the previously mentioned Johann Christian Ferdinand Brennecke. In the mid-nineteenth century, Jürgen Christian Wilhelm came to Moravia, Czech Republic. Unfortunately, it is not known why he left home to start a new life in a foreign country that was part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire at the time. However, it could be explained by the so-called German war that started in 1866: There was a conflict between Austria and Germany. Preussen issued an ultimatum to Hanover, Saxony and Hesse-Kassel to withdraw from the Bundestag's mobilization decision, but at the end of June three Prussian armies marched into Bohemia. The Austrian defeat is inevitable and the Prussian army occupies Prague and Brno, and reaches the Thaya river on July 13th, leading to a preliminary peace on July 26th. More on this under "Where we come from - The War of 1866" in family history. Jürgen Christian Wilhelm was 21 years old at the time and might have come to the Czech Republic in the course of this war. He was 39 when he married (D 016) Maria Wuck born 31.8.1865 (D 014) in the Czech Republic on February 6, 1884, who became our great-grandmother Maria Brennecke. She was the daughter of Florian Wuck also Vuck, castellan from Jaispitz today Jevisovice north of Znojmo, died 24.2.1902 (D 011) in Znojmo and Terezia, his wife, née Duschberger, who was born 24.4.1835 (D 013) in Vienna and died 7.12.1909 in Znojmo (D 010) . The bride was 18 years old. Marriage Certificate of Florian Wuckand Terezia Duschberger (D 015). Jürgen Christian Wilhelm was probably not a poor man. As can be seen from a document that regulates the legacy of the children of minors and minors after Maria's death, he and Maria owned a house in Znojmo. I (Hans Brennecke) also remember that my father told me that there was a furniture trade and furniture production in Znojmo in operation by the family. The death certificate for Jürgen Christian Wilhelm: Gau Niederdonau Pol. Bez. Znaim Pfarre Znaim, number 889 Extract from the Book of the Dead of the evangelical parish augs.

It can be assumed that they mainly settled there in the cities. The compulsion to occupational mobility meant that their traces were lost quite quickly. Those who emigrated were in the prime of their life in terms of age. Statistics do not always provide information about the occupations of emigrants. Since most other than the necessary travel allowance did not have any other assets with it, as the file notes, we can presume that these are day laborers, servants and maids. Those who took a little extra start-up capital were mostly craftsmen, especially tailors, but also carpenters, carpenters, potters, weavers, shoemakers, white tanners, dyers. The mechanization of some of these professions and the increasing competition from neighboring cities may have accelerated the emigration of these people. Also interesting is a marginal note by a bailiff in a report about the years 1843-46. It says: "Among the families are three siblings, one widow and one illegitimate mother with their children." This brings us to the motives for emigration. A similar wording is repeated year after year in the official files: "The reason for the emigration is the hope of everyone for better progress." - it reads e.g. in a report from 1852. Emigration from the rural communities was somewhat different from that of the city. Because the situation of the population of these regions was shaped much more by agriculture and its problems and general conditions than that of the inhabitants of the city. Emigration from the city took place especially in the 1840s. During this time, however, significantly fewer migrated from the rural environment. This could hardly have been due to the external conditions on site, because the opportunities for professional development in the countryside were and remained very limited in the 19th century. Only the eldest son of a farmer who could take over his father's farm had a real chance. It was not allowed to be shared; this was intended to put a stop to the parceling out of the country as practised in southern Germany. This worked - but at the expense of all children born later. For them there was the possibility of settling down as a craftsman, hiring himself out as a servant or maid with strangers on another farm, settling in one of the neighboring moor colonies or - not necessarily better - accepting a heuerling position on the farm of his own older brother . The farm and the associated modest land area provided only a poor livelihood, and the Heuerlings family also had to do manual and tensioning work for the farmer. A country like the USA, in which free, relatively cheap land purchase was possible, had to appear like paradise. In the 1940s and 1950s, however, negative reports of an economic crisis in America deterred those wishing to emigrate. The horror reports about the civil war in 1861-65 did the rest. After that, however, the phase of domestic political calming and the opening up of new states in the Midwest and West will result in an even more massive emigration from rural areas. Whole family associations sell their property and emigrate to the USA in groups via Bremen and Bremerhaven. They often stay together there too. They move together in treks from the east coast further inland, buy land there and, especially in the state of Nebraska, jointly found villages that have to be imagined as miniature editions of their German hometowns. They take their Low German language with them, their North German cuisine, their songs and customs, their worship regulations, and they pass all of this on to their sons and daughters, who marry among themselves and have children in turn. There were, however, also other motives to leave the homeland. === THE BRNO DEATH MARCH === Gerti Pokorny-Striz After we had spent the whole night at the church square (''sic. Brno'') and many had their valuables taken away, the train was set up into the unknown. Gradually it leaked out that it should go to the Austrian border. I don't know anything about a tour. It consisted more of an escort of young men who were armed and kept shouting and shooting their guns into the air. I was accompanied by my 62-year-old mother, the 2½-year-old son in the stroller. After a few kilometers you could see old people sitting on the side of the road who were resting or unable to continue. Often a ladder wagon broke and pieces of luggage that became too heavy ended up in the ditch. Before we reached Pohrlitz, another thunderstorm started. We arrived exhausted and soaked. After some searching we found quarters for the night. The next day, especially vigorous people moved on to the border. Many thought that the situation would calm down soon and that a return to the city would be possible. We stayed a few more days and lived in a huge wooden barrack. We only got a thin water soup with some vegetables, potatoes and thin black coffee. Romanian soldiers who camped on the edge of the camp sometimes gave bread, sugar and margarine for a valuable item. There was often fear at night when Russian soldiers took out women and girls. As a result of catastrophic hygienic conditions, dysentery and typhoid diseases occurred. After a few days, Pohritzer farmers drove up in their wagons, invited us to take us to the border. My mother had cut her shin on a dirty wooden board in Pohrlitz. The wound caused more and more complaints. On weekdays I usually went to the far-off fields and vineyards with the farmer's wife. Once I was attacked by a Russian who came armed with a submachine gun. What happened to me made hundreds of other women suffer. The displacement of the displaced almost never ended. Every day our fellows pleaded for accommodation and food. The local pastor kept calling the residents for help. Many of our compatriots fell ill with typhoid and dysentery or died from exhaustion. Their bodies were put in paper bags and buried at the local cemetery. After a lot of effort we reached Poysdorf ''(sic. in Austria near the Czech Border''). After a long search we found accommodation there. A doctor took care of my mother very conscientiously, although he had only a few medications available after the Russians had looted everything. After several weeks, he told her that she had just passed an amputation of the leg. From the farmers who had taken us in, I earned the food for the three of us with field and housework. My mother did patchwork. When most of the work in the fields was done at the end of August, we became more and more annoying to our “brothers”; and they were not squeamish in bullying us. When the trains ran again, we packed our belongings and went to Vienna, and further to St. Pölten, where my husband's relatives welcomed us very well, until the move to Germany in February 1946. === THE BRÜNN DEATH MARCH === Corpus Christi May 30, 1945 Wilhelm Brennecke This information was passed on by Wilhelm Brennecke "Uncle Willi" from Schorndorf on August 16, 2005 to Hans Brennecke on the occasion of the first Family Reunionduring a visit to Andrea Leon in Winterbach.

It is their personal experiences, impressions and fates that help us to understand the cruelty and privation of that time, which ultimately led to the Death March of the German population, who had lived in South Moravia for many generations. But not only bad memories can be found in these diaries, in which Inge Wozilka knows how to bring close to us the life in the family home in Znojmo. Höckstrasse 12 Decades later when we were able to visit this, "our" house in Znoimo and the castle and village of Jaispitz / Jevisovice again, many of the stories became magically alive. === LOWER AUSTRIAN DIARY === Ingeborg Wozilka '''THE HOUSE IN HÖCKSTRASSE''' The house in Höckstrasse No. 12 in Znojmo was built at a time when the grandparents Brennecke were still employed in Jaispitz. Contrary to my childhood information, it was not Wilhelm Christian Brennecke who was the builder, but the maternal great-grandparents, Florian and Thersia Wuck, who were already based in Jaispitz, before Wilhelm Christian Brennecke showed up here. Documents (including the baptismal certificate) state that Wilhelm Christian Brennecke married the Wuck's daughter, who was 20 years younger than him. When she was born, Wilhelm Christian Brennecke had been working in Jaispitz for some time. He was, as can be seen from my mother's baptismal certificate, Schloss-Beschliesser, which is a title for an administrative position of a castle, a castellan . I know from my mother that Wilhelm Christian Brennecke came from Hanover. Peine was mentioned many times and also Schmedenstedt5. Research by Hans Brennecke, Vienna, grandson of Max Brennecke, a brother of my mother, has confirmed this. What may have prompted Wilhelm Christian Brennecke to establish himself in Jaispitz remains unknown. Hans assumes that it was the wars in 1866. (Prussian deserter?) The house was built in Art Nouveau style. Flower ornaments carved from stone were attached to the window facades. Where the roof was located above the second floor, a wall rose with a turret at each end, in between the year in which it was built in 1902. It is therefore not necessary to search in documents for the year of construction. Two steps led to the front door in the middle of the house. A kind of foyer opened after the door, a spacious staircase, the stairs always limed white. The caretaker, the Wawrinka, had to fetch kaolin clay at the freight yard at thleast once a week. To do this, she used a small handcart. Sometimes I went with her. She made this slurry of chalk into a pulp and used it to cover the steps. There was a landing behind the front door, new steps followed and another landing and another door across the width of this foyer. Only behind was the access to the apartments on the mezzanine floor, one on the right and one on the left. The floors were tiled, looking like mosaic, small stones in blue, white and yellow, set in regular patterns. Two stairs, perhaps thirteen steps, led to the first floor. High windows let in a lot of light from the garden. They were double-glazed, simply glazed on the outside, provided with the most beautiful bull's-eye panes on the inside, colorful discs the size of beer coasters lined with lead bands. They let the whitewashed steps light up in wonderful colors. Nowhere have I seen anything like it in a stairwell. The second floor was as high as the third floor elsewhere. The garden that joined the house was not very big, but overgrown in my time. In the far corner there was a kennel, quite rusty and of no use. The garden was enclosed by a wall, like all these inner gardens, which lay in the area that was enclosed by four rows of houses. Ivy overgrown the back wall, particularly preferred by blackbirds. The caretaker's apartment was in the basement of the house. It was always dark. The windows, although also facing the street, were at the level of the sidewalk and you could only see the feet of passers-by. Old Wawrinka didn't spend much time in her two-room apartment. In the summer she sat on the stairs of the hall door that opened to the garden, blinking in the sun. In winter she often came to our kitchen, called me "Butzinko" and found everything I was doing right. When my mother went out, Wawrinka stayed with me until I fell asleep. The married couple Wuck is said to have owned a house in Vienna and to have been wealthy. From Hans, the great grandson of Wilhelm Christian Brennecke, you learn that Florian Wuck in the k.u.k. Hofkanzlei Wien was employed as a messenger (?). According to my mother, their property is said to have been in Annagasse in Vienna. The Wuck couple were close friends with the forester Ritschl and wife in Jaispitz, whose descendants lived in Vienna and were in correspondence with my mother for a long time (until after 1945). According to Hans' research at the property office in Znojmo, the daughter of the couple Wuck, Marie, known as Mizl, was apparently the only child, heiress and owner of the house on Höckstrasse. After her relatively early death, she was about 43 years old and previously paralyzed for 15 years, her children became heirs under a notarial contract. Her husband Wilhelm Christian Brennecke had “Niessrecht” (Servitude) on the house. The names of the children are listed in the contract: Wilhelmine, Max, Heinrich and Margarete. The latter two were still minors when their mother died and were represented by the husband of their older sister Wilhelmine. That was Prof. Eduard Striz, grandfather of the Pokorny children. After the six-family house was built, the Brennecke family moved into one of the apartments. The Wuck couple also lived in Znojmo, but in a rented accommodation (?) at Marienplatz 2. Both people died in Znojmo and were buried there, too. The large, man-sized tombstones made of black marble still existed in 1945 and were cared for by my mother until we were expelled. The style of the family grave indicated a good fortune. During the First World War, wealthy people from the state, the Habsburg monarchy, had to arranged for a war loan. This meant that the house, which was apparently debt-free at the time, was mortgaged in favor of the state. These promissory notes, like notes from the inflation money from the 20s, were in my possession for a long time (until we were expelled). This debt was gradually paid off in installments from the house's rental income. The last installment was repaid in 1942. With the overthrow in 1918, when the dissolution of the monarchy created the 1st Czech Republic, to which the city of Znojmo belonged, Wilhelm Christian Brennecke lost his pension claim to the Austrian state and, understandably, did not receive a pension from the "new" Czech state. It would have been possible if he had emigrated to Austria. He could have kept Austrian citizenship and consequently receive a pension. However, he had no relatives or possessions there. He couldn't dispose of the house on Höckstrasse. So it seemed appropriate for him to stay in Znojmo as a Czech citizen and to continue to exercise the “right of usufruct” on the house. In this way he was at least guaranteed a modest living. But he had also lost Austrian citizenship, like everyone who did not emigrate in 1918, and had become a Czech citizen. This probably also included Max Brennecke, son of Wilhelm Christian Brennecke, who, according to research by Hans Brennecke, only acquired Austrian citizenship in 1947. Wilhelm Christian Brennecke died in 1932 at the age of 82 in Brno in his daughter Wilhelmine's home and was buried in Znojmo in the grave of the Wuck couple and his wife Maria. In 1938, when the young Czech state was occupied by the Germans of the Third Reich, there were suddenly different nationalities in the population: the Czechs, lived in the so-called protectorate like in a ghetto within a strictly guarded border, furthermore, the later so-called Sudeten Germans in the north on the Silesian border and the South Moravians, citizens of the Habsburg Empire since its inception. The government of the Third Reich declared all German speaking people to be "Reichsdeutsche" Reich Germans without further ado, a measure with fatal consequences. This confusion of nationalities created problems that led to misunderstandings many years later. This also suggests why Max Brennecke was only granted Austrian citizenship in 1947. It also nourishes understanding of the many mixed political marriages that had occurred when these problems did not exist. The statesmen who signed the Yalta Agreement apparently had no idea of ​​the geographical and ethnological conditions of these border countries and the former borders of the former Habsburg-Hungarian monarchy after the end of the First World War. In 1918, the borders, especially as far as the South Moravian area was concerned, were simply occupied at the will and discretion of the country's councilors, which was tacitly accepted by the government in Vienna in order to avoid a renewed flare-up of the war activities. I have written documentation about this in my possession. It is known to exchange a strip of fertile farmland that the Austrians left to the Czechs for 25 wagons of coal. The impact of this trade was not foreseeable at the time. After the end of the Second World War, the "Ring" populated by Germans around the Czech territory of the 2nd Czech Republic was "incorporated" as it was called at the time, and the Germans were expelled without further ado because they had meanwhile mutated from Habsburg to Reich German residents without their own doing. Over the years, the vacant houses of the Germans were filled with people from Eastern countries, e.g. Romania, Bulgaria, who had been resettled. The different handling of citizenships in the different occupation zones of post-war Austria was difficult and difficult for the uninitiated to understand. All "Germans" who were in Russian-occupied zones in Austria had to leave the country, while those Germans who were in American or English-occupied zones or had Austrian relatives there were allowed to stay in Austria. Vienna was divided into four zones: Russian, American, English, French. It was an unspeakable mess. Families were torn apart again. Traveling on your own is almost impossible because there was no regular train connection, no private vehicles, no food to buy, no accommodation on the go. There was no newspaper. Only those who had been spared bombs or other war effects had a radio, there were few. Black market flourished. Human trafficking too. The film “The Third Man” with Orson Wells best illustrates the time in Vienna at that time. At that time Max Brennecke had certainly lived in Vienna, probably in the American zone, otherwise he would have been expelled from the country as a non-Austrian. Because, as is known, he was only granted Austrian citizenship in 1947. Since the siblings Wilhemine, Heinrich and Margarete Brennecke had no contact with Max during the war years 1939 - 1945, and one did not know where he was, it would have been unreasonable to look for him with the request that a few havenots and relatives expelled from their country would find and appeal to him. In addition, the Znojmo family did not know where the Brno relatives were and whether they had survived the Russian invasion and expulsion. The only one was Herbert Pokorny, who, because he was stationed in Znojmo, had been in contact with us until the Znojmo train station was bombed and Herbert took "his" transport of wounded soldiers straight to meet the Russians and afive-year Russian captivity. The family members only reunited in Germany through correspondence with friends, e.g. also with Ritschl's in Vienna, and through the tracing service of the Red Cross. Herbert, the son-in-law of Wilhelmine and Eduard Striz, was only released from Russian captivity in 1950. Almost a miracle is the fact that the family has lost not one member in these events. The house in Höckstrasse has not been privately owned since then, but is managed by the city of Znojmo. (''As we learned during our visit to the house, the apartments are now privately owned again''). In his research at the Znojmo Real Estate Office, Hans Brennecke found out that the Brennecke family also owned real estate in the Wienerstrasse. I knew nothing of this. Unfortunately, after the expulsion of family members, there was no more talk about former ownership. (''Also according to the Benes Decree, none of the former possessions had to be restituted''). In April 1945 the house was hit by a Russian bomb. The stairwell was torn apart, the supporting masonry remained. But the apartments were open to looting. '''UNDER THE APRICOT TREE''' The March days are so spring-like, one can sit outside in the garden. A wooden table, a wooden bench with a backrest, painted dark green in grandfather's day, exposed to the weather anyway, you can see it, standing under the old, strange, gnarled, crippled apricot tree. I take my exercise books and turn to the parables and hyperbolas, geometric figures that I want to draw again. The new young math teacher from Vienna can explain everything perfectly, suddenly math seems logically clear, liberating. She is very different from the bony, impatient Ringelhahn who was brought back from his pension and which only addressed us with "stupid geese". For him, you were stupid in advance. He was so clever that he couldn't explain anything because it was so natural for him. But the new teacher is great. Hopefully she stays for a while. My mother's voice pulls me out of my speculations "Come in, Proksch Herbert is here and wants to say goodbye to you!" I walk through the garden across the courtyard into the house. The hallway is cool, the stairs are made bright white with chalk sludge, the sun falls through the colored glas discs of the windows in each staircase and paints differently colored stains on the bright surfaces. The staircase and the landing are covered with tiles, which are divided and look like mosaic stones, blue, yellow and white in patterns. It is so artistic, no other house looks like it. I only learned that it was Art Nouveau much later. So here is Herbert Proksch and I am surprised because we had hardly spoken to each other before. The "Reli" (''religious education'') classes have been moved to the afternoon and take place in the rectory. For boys and girls at the same time. It was unusual. Since then there has been a high school for girls, a high school for boys, strictly separated according to gender. One saw eachother in the street, knew each other through ones parents, but avoided each other casting only shy glances. In Reli we were only six or eight students. It was the Imgold Erwin, Marquard Roth with his sister three years older, the pastor's children, said Proksch Herbert, one whose name I have forgotten and I. We sang songs and heard Bible texts. It was striking that the pastor became increasingly sad. As sad as Herbert Proksch, who was standing in front of me in the high corridor flooded with bright light. "I have to go to Napola, to a camp," he said. I only understood that it was something military and apparently related to the war. Napola was a national political institution, an elite education. Some had imagined that they belonged there. “The Reli lessons no longer take place. We won't see each other anymore. ”His seriousness was new, his forecast too, at least for me. I had never heard news. The people's receiver occasionally brought special reports about the shooting down of enemy planes and the sinking of mostly English warships from so many gross register tons, before and after fanfares from Richard Wagner's compositions sounded imposing, who doubted a victory there? Ilse Werner whistled cheerfully, longingly sang Rudi Schurike “Heimat deine Sterne”, Zarah Leander predicted “Es wird einmal ein Wunder geschehn - A miracle will happen” or the cheeky sound from the film “The White Dream”: “I am the Prater Mizzi , the darling of all gentlemen .... ", or" Mamachi give me a horse ... "Lale Andersen exceptionally languishes very internationally Lili Marlen " Under the Lantern, in front of the big gate ". In German lessons with Mr. Winkler we read: The Hermannschlacht, Antigone, and we knew who Oedipus was. Speaking, auditioning, English, French, Latin ... but we didn't know the reality. Ms. Slavik - music teacher - sang to us and accompanied herself on the piano: "Herr Heinrich sass am Vogelherd", "Archibald Douglas", "Aquarius (Der Nöck)", Balladen von Löwe. Our silent conversation was suddenly interrupted by a loud whistle, high tones rang out in the air, engine noise from low-flying aircraft startled us. Suddenly a deafening bang, window panes clinked. We hurried to the front of the house, everything was fine here. "It was a bomb attack without an alarm," said Herbert Proksch, his face was white. But we heard nothing more, no planes, no bombings. We went back into the yard and into the garden. There was no longer a table, no bench, no apricot tree, no exercise books, just a deep crater hole. At this point. It had all happened so quickly and unpredictably and therefore so unreally. My mother was speechless and Herbert left. It gradually dawned on me that he had saved my life. If I hadn't gone into the house at this very moment, I would either be in the crater hole or somewhere in the air because there were no remains or splinters from either the bench, the table or the tree. The five chickens, which had a small spout in the back of the garden, stuck to the garden wall like tufts of an Indian game. I just knew we needed an air-raid shelter now, as has always been recommended, and we probably won't have much schooling anymore. People came in to look horrified at the crater hole. They claimed that they were Russian little bombs, a stray single pilot. Even if the window panes were broken, you could still lock the apartment door. We could still sleep in the apartment. A day or two later it was said "there is a fire in Schwaighofer Hof!" During the night, bombs had fallen there too. My mother and I had such a blessed sleep, we hadn't heard anything. The Schwaighofer Hof was a residential area on Wiener Strasse. A bit away from us, of course. And again it was just a single bombing without warning. In the city, people were running around like a startled ants in a broken anthill. One asked the other, "What should we do?" Some knew. They set off with luggage that they could carry. On foot, with a trolley, with a fully packed pram, with the child on the back, others by the hand, they wanted to go to the "Americans" in a manner that was important, in no way did they want to experience the Russian invasion and the Russians were already very close. You could already hear the gunfire north of Prager Strasse. But there were no cars. Apparently the railroad was still going, sometime, somewhere. Everyone wanted to go to Austria. Everyone remembered any relatives he had there, one spoke of Graz and Linz as if one could be protected and happy there. My mother said, "We haven't done anything to anyone, so nobody will harm us. We have our house here, we stay here. " It was April now. We had met again in school to find out that the school would remain closed "until further notice". The teachers had tearful eyes, the first-grader girls sang carefree "Russla if you were mine" and turned in a circle. Or they sang "Heissa Kathreinerle". Many had not appeared. The city was no longer bustling. I met Traudl at Marienplatz. "We're going to my aunt's in Laa," she said. From that moment on I haven't seen her in twenty years. My mother was only in bed. Sometimes the neighbor from the house across the street was there. So also that evening of April 20th '''BOMB NIGHT''' Ms. Schwarzendorfer had been with us and was about to say goodbye. We stood in front of the apartment door, which was still closed. There was a tremendous roar, I was amazed to see how the heavy double-walled oak door, as if by magic, slowly moved a few centimeters into the apartment, steadily lifted off its hinges and pushed on the buckle - everything happened in slow motion. Then it fell flat into the apartment. We just had time to jump aside, but now a thick cloud of dust was pushing through the open entrance, in which one could not breathe. Quickly we rush into the bedrooms and open the windows and there against the night sky see an aircraft squadron flying over the houses . The bombs fell out of the planes like black birds in a dive. They started with a sington that got higher the closer they came until they hit with a thunder. But the next one was already on the way with loud whistles and a raging impact. It took 20 minutes and then there was silence. Silence. Nothing burned in the house, but the staircase was gone. We had a mountain of rubble on the ground floor. The cloud of dust drifted upward, like through a large chimney. You could see the sky through the hole in the roof. Ms. Neberle lived on the second floor with her maid and a dog. They couldn't come down anymore. German soldiers were on the spot right away, I don't know who notified or brought them. The Schwarzendorfer Mizzi and I fetched sticks from the courtyard, passed them on to the soldiers from hand to hand, and they quickly built a ladder through the stairwell. From floor to floor up to the 2nd floor and took the two women with a dog and took them to the basement. In the afternoon, as if anticipating things, I converted the large laundry room into a lounge, pushed the wooden vats and troughs that stood around to one side, turned them over and turned them into seats, moved chairs out of the apartment here, and brought blankets. The residents now gathered here, all very silent. Only my mother cried loudly. "Where's my child?" She kept shouting, while I was standing next to her. But she didn't want to see me. After all, everything revolved around her. Herbert , who had come to us from the barracks, gave her something to drink and residents of the house spoke well to her. Around 10 a.m. the planes with the bombs came again. Since the chairs were occupied, we sat down; Herbert and I, on a long wash trough that was upside down and comfortable to sit on like a bench. You could hear the planes thundering, there were squadrons of them and you could hear the bombs whistling and hitting. First from afar and then closer and then again further away. Every time they got closer, we waited to be hit for the third time. Herbert put his arm around my shoulder and said: "It is unlikely that a house will be hit several times". And I stuck to that sentence. When the planes had left, there was a 20 minute break. Then they flew again and so it went all night. The ghosts stopped at dawn. When we finally crawled out, we saw only rubble piles up the street. The front of many houses was missing and you could look inside like in a doll's house, next door and across the street. We tried to stay in the apartment even though there was no electricity and the water supply was also stopped. We stayed in the unlocked apartment for two or three nights, sleeping in our beds as usual. Herbert came in the evening to stay the night with us. During the day he worked as a medic - before he was called up to study medicine - in the hospital in the Ottokarburg next to our high school. He was our protector. It was certainly thanks to him that a group of soldiers had come to install the wooden ladder in the stairwell and to save the people from the second floor. It was the end of April. By now the city was pretty much destroyed, hardly anyone to be seen. Then Herbert surprised us with the news that he had been ordered to leave Znojmo on a special train with the wounded from his hospital, with an uncertain destination. After two days with the hospital train at the train station, he came back again. The station had been bombed. Only a few wagons survived from the train, which was overcrowded with wounded soldiers. Herbert could have stayed with us now, but before his conscience he might not have been responsible for leaving the rest of the wounded helpless and alone to their fate. There was chaos. Nevertheless, the train drove to Schönwald in order to avoid another hail of bombs, which was obviously aimed at the station. So they drove north to meet the Russians. Because, as was later learned, crossing the railway bridge on the Vienna line was too risky due to the threat of blasting. Soon afterwards the small wounded transport was received by the Russians. Herbert did not come back from Russian "captivity" until five years later, - not home - because drama had also taken place there in the meantime. So Herbert was gone, the house on Höckstrasse was empty. Our apartment unprotected offered access for everyone. The Russian bombers flew daily. Everything was uncertain, only one thing was certain: this war was lost. There was no "Endsieg" the final victory, as promised just a few weeks before. The Russians came. In the underground passages of the city one could at least be safe from the bombs, someone recommended. With our small "air raid baggage" we set off into the unknown tube system. The entrances, hidden since then, were marked. The catacombs that had not been used for centuries were filled with life. Every now and then there was a candle or a kerosene lamp. Skillful people made the simplest bed frames out of raw planks, but they were all already occupied. The vaults were damp, the rock was sweating, and there were pools of water on the floor. Anyone who got hold of a box to sit on was happy. In the dark, in the damp cold, hungry, frightened, one waited. On what? On Russians who were told the most gruesome things. '''FIRST LIVE BROADCAST''' The entrance to the monastery cellar led through the garden. This stretched narrow and elongated between the belts of the southern city wall. The inner wall ring bounded the very small, ancient houses of the old town settlement, the outer wall ring encircled the entire city, left four gates open, one in each direction, enclosed the large market places, the noble town houses, the coin, several churches and monasteries Steep slope of the river valley and met again in the northern direction of the valley. On the southern slope with a view of the Vienna Basin was the monastery with a garden, always facing the sun. Here a big mouth yawned in the masonry of the buildings, always open, in whose dark gorge steep stone steps carved into the rock led down. All sorts of corridors from different directions met below. Those who knew their way around could cross the city on underground paths. It was not advisable for the uninitiated to use these paths, which in places were not accessible and often misleading. So these were our bunkers, in which we sought protection from the aerial bombs. Because if an exit was spilled, you could find numerous other exits and entrances. It was only much later that we found out that these passages had never been renovated for centuries and were therefore in danger of collapsing. Ignorance made us feel safe. If the bomb planes set course for the city again, everything that went down the stairs fell. If the all-clear was given or it could be assumed that the squadron had moved away, everyone naturally wanted to be out in the fresh air and you climbed the stairs, more badly than right. There was the young pretty I.S .. She lived with her mother and little son in the neighboring house of a school friend. She was very blonde. Barely over twenty years. In good shape despite the previous war years. Her rump was exhilaratingly sweeping and she knew how to swing it back and forth with every step, like a ship in high seas. But it swayed softly and the rocking movement gave a hint of the gentle rhythm of a cradle in which the baby blissfully sleeps towards life. S. knew about her charms and deliberately used them. As a schoolgirl, she had made a bet that she would be able to marry her teacher. She had won the bet. Then the son came and the man was drafted. Once again the bomb planes were turned off. The people in the belly of the earth crowded to the stairs. I waited in one of the alcoves until the crowds had subsided. And then she came, went behind her mother, who was carrying the son. There was a traffic jam at the bright hole at the top of the garden entrance. The ones at the bottom of the stairs couldn't wait to get up. And in the thrust I discovered a figure in a dark robe behind the rocking Noah's ark. His hands were at shoulder height, his fingers spread, and he tried to hold and slide the fleshy mountains wagging in front of his face as if they could fall down. And he pushed violently, although nobody was behind him anymore. His open hands slid over the curves as if they were checking the authenticity. His zeal was great. He was not blocked. I could not believe my eyes. I had never seen anything like it. The films at that time did not show such scenes. At home we ran an abandoned household. My imagination was naive. I was amazed. To date, the monks had a halo for me. Then something of this aura crumbled off and fell back into the dark corridors. So these were our bunkers, in which we sought protection from the aerial bombs.

To date, the monks had a halo for me. Then something of this aura crumbled off and fell back into the dark corridors. It was the first live broadcast I had seen. '''THE RUSSIANS ARE COMING''' The corridors, which were branched under the entire city, led to the Capuchin monastery. From there you could reach my father's apartment through the garden. It had been broken open, furniture smashed, beds cut, suitcases cut and ransacked, dishes broken and partly robbed. So don't stay either. My father appeared. "They'll get me," he said with fearful eyes, "and they'll kill me. I have to go". And then he took me aside: he put his hands on my shoulders and said, “it's all over anyway. I know an underground passage under our garden. Nobody can find us there. Come there with me I make us a pleasant death. But I didn't want to die yet. Certainly not like that. I got rid of myself and ran away through the garden into the neighboring Capuchin monastery. The Capuchin monks there had already hidden several women and children with them. They assigned empty cells to them. Everyone was convinced that it was a protected space, a consecrated place. It was no longer valid that women were not allowed in the monastery. It was an extraordinary time when something extraordinary could happen. No soldiers would come in here, even among Russians there were pious people who respected churches and monasteries. All streets of the city could be reached via the underground passageways. Russians would not go into this maze. So calmed down, I made a guest appearance in a cell and no longer in the wet vaults. But only a few days. The monks were friendly, they spoke German. One of the monks, who seemed more closed than his brothers, came up to me in the hall and handed me a book. It was called "pre-summer" by Karl Benno von Mechov. How did he get there? I may have thanked you. Otherwise we haven't exchanged a word. From then on I only read and was in another world. Perhaps a week had passed when Father Quardian excited everyone. The Russians are Coming. Someone hung a white sheet from the bell tower. Should mean "We don't fight!" Or "Spare us, here is a consecrated floor!" And then the tanks rattled down the cobblestones of the streets, covered wagons squeaked, horses whinnied, soldiers shouted incomprehensible words. Every now and then a shot was fired. We had strict instructions to keep everyone in their cell, lock them from the inside, and keep quiet. Several times a day they pounded on the monastery gate. Sometimes after long persuasive speeches, she was able to reject Father Quardian. Sometimes barrels of wine from the cellar were heaved up the steep rocky stairs and the Russians trolled happily with them. There was nothing to eat. Although I assume the monastery had a well-stocked pantry behind the kitchen. The supplies would have been used up quickly if everyone had used them. I don't know how the others managed. Anyway, there was a suitcase full of sugar cubes under Mitzi's bed, I knew that. Despite all the warnings, I left my cell and slipped to her. Most of the time she was absent and I quickly got a handful of the coveted sweetness, for a while the hunger was satisfied. My mother also stayed in one or the other cell. I had my book and was enraptured with it. At some point everything would be all right, the order would be the same, the house would be straightened, the school would go on, the war was over, there would be something to eat. Maybe we could move into the apartment on the first floor, and I would furnish my rooms one way or another. Father Quardian burst into these daydreams with the news that the German monks had to leave the monastery. You would have an offer to come to a monastery in South Tyrol. They were like a flock of startled pigeons. There were no vehicles, no horses, only wild Russians with dirty uniforms outside our house, small boys with slit eyes, wide faces and flat noses. It was still the invasion force, which, I explained later, had the right to loot. They were Mongols. Three days, there were several unpunished lootings after taking a city, that was the wages of the war. It was surely the worst news for the peace-loving monks. How should they have made their way to South Tyrol? How did you manage to survive the "Third Reich" in this idyll without being disturbed? What kind of people were they? What did she expect? But it was said that the Czech monks were already waiting to move in, and so they gradually lost themselves, one by one, who knows where. At the time, we had no idea that this measure was the beginning of the expulsion. It was a practical solution from the city administration, because the people hidden in the monastery now had to move out too. Suddenly, jeeps were driving through the city, men in partisan uniforms were waving a Czech flag. The republic was proclaimed. The second Czech Republic. Once I dared to sneak into Höckstrasse. The apartment was largely robbed. Then I heard shrill whistles and whips pounding on the street. a single partisan came up to the house. Otherwise the street was empty. I fled to the basement and hid behind the huge lack of laundry. Head-sized stones filled the car, stacked like a tower. I heard the man roaming our apartment up there and climbing the makeshift wooden stairs to the upper floors. Apparently he hadn't found what he was looking for. I recognized him when I went out. His parents had a pharmacy on Wienerstrasse. They were Czechs. To protect themselves, many Czechs dressed in partisan uniforms. So you could not differentiate them from the "real ones" who had been brought to the extinct city from any Balkan countries in which the German military had made themselves unpopular. They were enemies, rigorous, they were no exception. They did not meet well-known Germans, whom they would have been afraid of treating them badly. But this one was one I knew. When I cycled into the piano lesson, I had to go down Wienerstrasse. Then he saw me driving past, grabbed his bike and drove along with him. He was my age. We never spoke to each other. He usually had an adjutant with him, a small, much younger guy. One day he came up to me in the school playground and handed me a tulip. He says "Greetings from Mirek!" - "Where did you get the tulip from?" I asked. And he answered faithfully, "From the discounts on Granitzweg." That was our commonality. And now he was browsing our house as a partisan, wielding a whip. I sneaked back to the monastery. I went to church. I was alone there. I wanted to pray. But the head was blocked. The heart too. Suddenly the church door was opened. The big heavy door, actually a portal, did not open so easily. I still had time to hide in a confessional. It was one of those that looked like old German chests of drawers, dark, ornate, full of secrets. Tripartite. A dark red curtain hung in the middle. I crawled in there. The old wood creaked. I dared not move. A few Russians rumbled down the aisle. "Just don't be discovered". To make matters worse, the Padres would also condemn me for leaving the house without permission. I made myself as small as I could. A scraped thin pillow lay on the seat. There was a disgusting scent. I felt sick, with difficulty I suppressed a sneeze. The Russians seemed artful, as far as the poor Capuchin church could offer. It was an infinitely long time before they left. They didn't fight, they didn't take anything with them. With stiff knees I climbed out of the closet, which I would never have climbed into voluntarily. From previous excursions driven by curiosity and a thirst for discovery, I knew a passage that led from the monastery to the church and had the exit behind the altar. That was the way of the monks when they went to their devotions at night. This enabled them to avoid crossing the street. I used the way now, back to my cell. '''THE EVICTION''' In the Third Reich, the “special reports” had not only been heard on the radio, at that time they were the small “Volksempfänger” radio sets, “for the people”, small and cheap, affordable for everyone, but those with the special should also be there Messages are reached that happened to be on the street and had no radio available at the moment. Everyone should learn about the military's achievements and the impending "final victory". To achieve this, loudspeakers have been installed all over the city, mostly at the light poles of public places, large crossroads, in front of the cinemas or sports fields, just where several people have been suspected. You were always up to date. Now these messages were stopped from May 8th. Even the last faithful had to know what had struck. Who could still believe in the final victory if the Russians moved around the city? But suddenly the speakers started working again. Everyone listened to the strange voice from "above". Unbelievable what flooded the streets with a commanding voice, unmistakable, doubtful like the announcements a few days ago. "Attention" was heard in German "The population is being warned that by May 28th all Germans must leave the country, otherwise they will face prison terms." Was anyone making a joke? How should that work? Where to go What happened to the property? Why should you be locked up? Who had gotten into debt? And the voice from above continued "all Germans, including women and children, including those who have no political function." The nonsense even strengthened my mother's opinion, because she said "We have our house here, our grandparents already lived here, we did no harm to anyone. We got on well with everyone, Czechs were our friends, we looked after and protected a group of Jews, even though it was forbidden. We cannot be meant. That certainly applies to the Germans who came to us from the "old empire" after 1939. " The unrest remained. If you are German, you should wear a yellow armband. So it went on. We didn't have a home anyway. After we left the monastery, the family of Vera Danzerova granted us shelter. They had the smallest dark apartment in a back yard on Kalchergasse. Vera was a "compulsory year-old girl" in my father's household during the war. In time she had become a friend to me, just two years older than me. The Danzer family provided a bed for my mother and me. They must have helped themselves if necessary, because apart from their parents there was suddenly also their brother, whom I had never known before, and his friend. We only came to sleep, during the day we were knocking stones. I noticed one thing in the small Czech apartment: a map, a map of Europe, was attached to the side of the front door facing the inside of the apartment, and the front lines of the Russian Army were marked with colored pins. So you knew more than we did, went through my head. After all, my father was a captain in the German Air Force and he handled his knowledge of political matters very easily, if he was ever at home. My mother and I had been called to the district court. There we were told that we had to be at the factories on the station grounds at seven in the morning. There we met several women and girls, all German. We were instructed by a man to clear the mountains of rubble. How do you do that? Well, free the mortar residues from the usable, not quite splintered bricks and tap them to the extent that they could be used. The bricks cleaned in this way were piled up to form a wall. but the man left us again. Maybe he wanted to give us a chance to get away from it. But in our naivety we didn't understand that. Everyone standing around agreed that "everything was not meant to be cleaned up with the rubble so seriously" and we climbed into the house that was torn apart by bombs like ours in Höckstrasse. The apartment door had broken out, clothes were lying on the stairs, children's things, a satchel, books, German books, booklets, German poetry albums, a poetry album, a nicely bound booklet and I read by child's hand "Znojmo this is a nice town, it has a lot of pretty girls, it also has a town hall tower, which is taller than a worm. ”Sure, these first literary effusions were kept secrets, now they lay in chaos on the floor, exposed to every dirty boot. I felt ashamed, felt like a sniffer, like an intruder into intimate spheres. Way to the kitchen. Since the women were already busy. Here were leftovers in bowls, plates, pots on the table, on the windowsill, even on chairs. Half-learned bottles, cutlery on the floor, the people who had obviously wanted to take a meal here had been taken by surprise. These manufacturers were wealthy people. A refrigerator belonged to the kitchen furniture. Back then it was a luxury. This one was filled with food. a sight hardly known. Butter, tins, milk in bottles, and in the pantry hung sticks of sausages, loaves of bread lay there, preserving jars with compote, we hadn't seen such wonderful things in a long time. Practically as women are, everyone quickly agreed. You stuffed your mouth full as much as possible, and then the apron pockets. I didn't have an apron. My urge to research pulled me into the other rooms. There were no chandeliers here. These were chandeliers here in the dining room: as I knew them from the theater. Glass beads, glass candles, glass lozenges, glass drops, glass tears. For another day we let ourselves knock stones. This proves what submissive thinking we were used to. Just obey a voice that you didn't know, that couldn't be assigned to anyone. On the way to our “work”, small groups of people passed by again and again, packed with squiggles from pillows, with bags or sacks, and with frightened faces. "Didn't you hear it? The former RAD camp (Reich Labor Service) on Prager Strasse is now a prisoner of war camp. Several Germans are said to have been interned and beaten there. In any case, you hear screams when you walk past. "-" You have to come with me. Actually there is still war. "-" Or again ". The Danzers cautiously made us understand that they could no longer accommodate us. The ratia is strict and also punishes the Czechs who protect Germans. In the courtyard of the Höckstrasse house there has always been a small hand-cart. We used that to get our coal from the dealer. He hadn't brought any in for a long time. If you needed coal, you had to get it yourself and only got a limited amount. We equipped this cart with a backpack that Herbert had left behind, our air-raid luggage, a blanket, the book I had received from the monk, and a pleated skirt that I had found in the looted apartment. So we went, my mother and I, with the wagon and our poor dog, who also didn't know how it happened. When we passed the Thaya Bridge at Bruck Abbey, I looked back. This farewell look at the elevated city impressed me deeply. Here is a letter I sent to Sigl Ewald many years later. It describes everything my mother and I had to experience on the border with Austria. ''' LETTER TO EWALD''' Karl and Ingeborg Wozilka Upper Heath 11 74599 Wallhausen 28.09.1996 Dear Ewald, We were very happy about your call and we would like to thank you again very much. Unfortunately, October is pretty crowded in terms of time, as there are the birthdays of brother-in-law, sister-in-law and our son, then mentioned class reunion by Karli, plus a hip visit with overnight stays in spring. - My liver is not so good and I am therefore tired very quickly, not even as fast as before. I don't know if I can make ends meet. Now I let everything come to me once and call you beforehand so that you know for sure whether we are coming or not. I was surprised to hear from you about my father's captivity among the Czechs. At the class reunion of our girl class last year in Salzburg, Lehnert Hilde asked me about it. I wondered about it, since we were all children back in 1937. If we ever talked about it in our house, it was always a bit taboo, so you didn't like it, I don't know why. Maybe because there was something terrible about it. Because prison, political or not, always had something disreputable. In the year of deportation, my father had left long before us; he had suddenly disappeared without saying goodbye or asking about our whereabouts. Before that, he had advised us to go to the Winninger family in Neuhäusl and wait for the end of the war there. My mother and I had also started to go there, but when we arrived there was a feeling of optimism in the mill itself. It had been feared that the Frainer weir would be blown up. In this case, all mills and oerte (sic) in the Thayatal to Bruck Abbey would have been under flood. So we went back to Znojmo the same day and survived the end of the war and the Russian invasion in the cellars, which, as you know, spanned extensive areas from Füttergasse to Unteren Platz to the Capuchin monastery (and beyond). We couldn't go home to Höckstrasse because our house was hit by a Russian bomb, was very damaged and uninhabitable. A well-known Czech family initially took us in, although it was forbidden for them to host Germans under the threat of punishment. Our house or apartment was completely looted within a few days. Many people, including my mother and I, did not believe that the expulsion was final. We thought it was a "temporary post-war phenomenon" and didn't feel threatened, just out of a naive, clear conscience. It seemed natural to me that my father had escaped, after all he was an officer in the Air Force and could have been taken prisoner of war at the last minute. I know a few examples. But when my mother and I no longer had a place to stay - the hiding place with the Czech family was narrow and not possible in the long run - we set off for Retz as stragglers. We pulled a small ladder cart with a blanket and a backpack on top of it, in which we had hurriedly stowed away our belongings, actually our so-called "air-raid luggage". At the border, Czech soldiers studied our passport longer than with other people. Then someone came up to us and asked if I was the daughter of photographer Nather. They would look for him, and until he was found I would be held hostage. I tried to explain that my parents had been divorced for 15 years. After all, my mother had a hysterical fit and cried and cried. Somehow the soldiers seemed at a loss. One grabbed the backpack and poured the contents onto the street so that the things flew in all directions. That is a German military backpack, it must stay here. They also removed the blanket from the cart. Then someone called “Run!” In Czech and we hurried to get away. My mother was still trying to pick up some of the things on the street and put them in her apron, which held them together at the ends like a bag. But we were driven to hurry, and how could we continue to carry the stuff without a sack. There were some items of laundry, some pictures, a tea strainer, which I found completely unnecessary. In Unterretzbach we were allowed to spend the night in a barn with other people. Some straw was piled up on the clay floor, in which each family had built a “nest”. The next day we didn't know where to go. We were hungry, so some of us went to the farmers to beg for bread. That day you came past the barn, we talked to each other and you went on the same day, alone. Then someone told us that in Schrattenthal am Gutshof workers were wanted for food and accommodation. We went with a group of other people about 10 km. In Schrattenthal we were sorted into seemingly workable and weaklings. My mother was with the weaklings and we were separated. Some men eyed me, turned me around like a piece of cattle in a market. some of our group have already been provided with tools and sent away accompanied by an overseer. Others advised us to go back. My mother cried, I didn't know where to take her. So we decided to leave the estate. We sat down in the ditch near Obernalb, it was now evening. We were hungry and thirsty. My mother cried and wanted to die. Then an older farmer stopped in front of us, who had a little pity for him. "If you judge the vineyard for me, then you can stay," he said. And we went with him somewhat comforted. He directed us to a corner in his barn, there was some straw piled up in the middle of the field equipment. He picked us up at sunrise. For lunch there were potatoes with salt and a strip of bacon, a treat after the many days of hunger. I was given a cup of goat milk every morning and evening. Sometimes the way home was not profitable at noon because the way was too far. I was allowed to take a jug of wine and a piece of bread. The summer was very hot in 1945. The wine was soon drunk. But cherry trees lined the country road. Nobody far and wide. The farmer was not with. So I climbed up into the cherry tree and, despite the wine, my stomach was full of cherries. - After three weeks we had taken care of all of the farmer's vineyards: cut the 16 salmon brood and tied up the shoots with straw. it was a special art that my mother did not understand. Then the farmer puffed up in front of us and said "I don't have any more work for you, you have to find another place". We were assigned to another farming family through the mayor's office, which had since been re-established. We lived in constant fear. In the vineyards and fields one could hear people crying out for help, especially women, and the hitting of sticks dull on the body and dying whimpering. I cannot list the hiding places I have crawled into everywhere. Anyway, I didn't hear from my father until autumn. I would be interested to know who or where it is now publicizing that he was caught by the Czechs. I don't really like that this thing is kept stirring up again and again. In the so-called 3rd Reich nobody ever spoke about it. Now my father has been dead for 15 years and nothing happens to him anymore. He has repeatedly claimed that he was innocently treated only because the Pajesi was his friend. My father was a credible and very good-natured person, he was not a daredevil and not adventurous. He went through a lot on the Spielberg in Brno. Still, I want to let things rest and not churn them up again. - We visited military cemeteries, in Alsace, where Germans lie next to French, we were in military cemeteries in South Tyrol and in Normandy. Suffering over suffering. Revenge is not sweet, but bitter, because hate creates hate again. And hate becomes suffering again. Death has healed many wounds; one should not tear them open again in the living. Greetings from you and your family Karl and Inge Wozilka '''IN THE VINEYARD''' In Lower Austria I served as a maid, barefoot, because I no longer had shoes. The cow dirt in the stable swelled softly and warmly between my toes. I slept on straw in the tool shed in a dark corner with a shovel, rake and rake around me. The straw scratches and stings my legs, my arms, the fever shakes me at night, because the sun in the vineyard is hot. What is good for the vine burns my skin. I am alone in the field with the servant, because the farmer spares his own people. Because of the Russians. They ride across the area on small nimble horses, like medieval knights looking for adventure. They have survived the war and are not afraid of death or the devil, and certainly not of the poor population, who froze at the sight of them and remained mostly in the houses. But vineyards and fields want to be cared for. Cut out the servant and I under the scorching sun, the "brood of the axes", which are wild shoots. Nearby voices. Then patter of horses and Russian, hoarse firsts. Quarrels, shouts, cries of woe from female voices, cracking of broken vines, rustling of leaves, dull blows, wooden stick on body, whimpering - silence. The servant is serious. I crouch between the vines and boulders, trembling. The kicks of the little hooves again. The green in front of me divides. A Hun! It's like a thousand years ago. Did I live then, 955? I still live. "Run" calls me, I jump down the vineyard like a tennis ball, light-footed over embankments, cross hollow paths, the more impassable the better. The little horses can't jump, but I can. Then the meadow in the valley, green, lush, moist, cut through by a meandering stream, pastures on the bank. Flashy thought: horses don't like swampy meadows, but I do. Fear carries me weightlessly across the meadows to the pastures. No more noise behind me. The horse had refused, was not as fast as I was. A look back: nothing. The willows are old and hollow and I am young and narrow and slip into the hollow tree. Saved? It seems so. The tree surrounds me, smells of wood and mold, is like a good mother, like a strong father, like an angel. He closes his arms around me, I belong to him like a root, all day long. The sun completes its circle, sinks behind the mountains of the forest district. Fog rises from the meadows, damp and cool. No sound outside, no one calls, no one is looking for me, even I could be killed up there in the vineyard. Maybe they are worried, but no one dares to do it. It is dark. "God, dear tree, thank you!" Crouched from bush to bush, on guard, I approach the village, at some point I reach the courtyard, hit the gate. Whispering voices behind it. Only Russians hit goals. I hate to call my name out loud. The gate opens. I'm sure for now. '''POTATO BEETLE''' In the morning I woke up with a bang. It is four in the morning. He is standing with my whip in front of my sleeping place. Again and again he swings the whip and pops it like a beer coach. "Get up," he said, "it's daytime." I don’t have to wear anything because I’m sleeping with my clothes on. "You have to get water, my wife has a lot of laundry." I am the sorcerer's apprentice. I get the water outside the courtyard by the stream, which flows in a slight depression through the middle of the village. I carry fifteen or twenty buckets full, fill the washing troughs in the kitchen, fill the troughs for the cattle in the barn; I cut beets for the goats, they smack and get the bites impatiently from my hand; I climb into the attic and pour hay through the hatch for the cows. They eagerly take it up with bulging lips and push it chewing back and forth in their mouths, they grind it, they do not bite their jaws from top to bottom like other animals. I find that interesting. They look so thoughtful with their big dark eyes and their slow movements have something deliberate. Your prudence is deceptive. Because almost simultaneously, as they eat, they drop huge, steaming chunks at the other end, immeasurably carefree and without movement, which splash on the muddy ground. Little straw is spread out under their feet. I shovel the cow patties and goat buns into a wheelbarrow and push them into the middle of the yard on the dung heap. You get used to the slippery chatting under the bare soles of your feet. Then the farmer calls me for breakfast. There are two hot potatoes with salt and a brown broth. The farmhand harnesses the cart. He ate before me. While the dawn colors the sky, the cow slowly moves us to Unteralb. The iron-studded wooden wheels crunch through the sand, the poles creak, the air is still pleasant. A potato field spreads out in front of us. The servant hands me a rake and shows me how to hold it. It is heavy and the style is thick, I can hardly get my fingers around it. So the soil is loosened, the weeds removed and the plant that sprouts from the soil is piled up with soil. The rows are endless. "Hü" the servant speaks to the cow like to a horse and they slowly settle down. In the evening he wants to fetch me again, the field is said to be heaped. So I don't dare to take a break. There is nothing to eat anyway, just a jug of wine, which is in the ditch on the Feldrain. Here's a little shade of cherry trees. It shines red and ripe through the leaves. Who do they belong to, what do I know? At some point, the sun has already passed the zenith, I climb up into the branches. The jug is no longer in the shade, and it is already empty. Here in the branches there is still a little air, the cherries are sweet and refreshing and the kernels fly in a wide arc. Good thing there are no Colorado beetles here. My thoughts go back. It was two years ago that Class 5b was hunting Colorado potato beetles. Equipped with buckets, it started early in the morning. We only had to walk a few kilometers out of the city into the fields. Then we were shown what the beetles looked like, they were striped like zebras, zebra beetles. Some of the girls in the class had never had a beetle in their hands. Some beetles desperately crawled up to us when they noticed the insecurity in the potato trees, some beetles fled the buckets again, some buckets that were already half full fell over and hosts of beetles got away. In the end the potato herb was pretty much trampled, I don't know what happened to the beetles. They were on the run, so the beetles and humans often have the same fate. '''THE SCHÖNBAUER''' These summer days were hot in 1945. "Your mother is no good," the farmer said to me. "You have to stop for two, otherwise you can sit down in the ditch again." I nod. I want to do everything. I am adept. I have strength and good will. "You're going to cut the barley with me in front of Obernalb," he said one day. We walk, the farmer with the scythe on his shoulder, I with the sickle behind. Only in the afternoon should the farmhand come with the team, the cart with the ox. The sand crunches along the way. Seabed how many millions of years ago? Again and again a basement house or a gate in a hill. Then the barley field, yellow, mobile, the stalks sway, like a big animal it lies in front of us and breathes, up and down. He takes a lot of pains, the farmer, if he wants to mow that alone and I should tie all the sheaves, alone. No time for questions. The scythe rustles, the stalks fall evenly, they lie in a row. I take her in my arms with my sickle and tie the sheaves. The awns sting, you should have long sleeves and covered legs. Always stoop. I can hardly stand upright around noon. The sun burns relentlessly. Thirst is worse than hunger. Half of it was done in the early afternoon. The knees are trembling. "We're going to have a drink," he says, putting the scythe away. He trudges in front of me on the way to a basement gate. Steep down the stairs into the cool and dark belly of the earth. He knows his way around here, lights a candle. Down here lies barrel to barrel with the curve leaning against each other. A rough table, a rough wooden bench in a niche. It is the same in all basements. I went to a "basement" with my father a few times. Carved from fine sandstone in beautiful cellars, with painted walls and the finest fine wines. Because the people who were there soon started to sing and were happy. Nothing can be admired here in this cellar and nobody is happy. "Sit down," the farmer suddenly says kindly, "I'll give you something to drink." I drink the wine for thirst. He brings bread and smoked meat. I start to wonder a lot. Bread was precious. There was at most Sunday. During the week we only had potatoes and salt. And you appreciated that. I hardly dared to eat in amazement. Then he said "sit on the bench like this" and he straddled. It seems very uncomfortable to me, the table top was difficult to reach in this way. I don't like it and I don't do it, and I see his face and eyes open and the trains tense and his breath is quick and I feel scary. I jump on and over the bench and want to run to the exit. But he catches up with me and pushes me against the basement wall, so that I feel the hard and irregular shape of the bricks in the back. His hands are claws, one claw is enough to press me against the stones. The other claw disappears under his big dark blue apron and is busy and excited. "It unties something" I think. "He has hidden weapons with him, probably for defense against the Russians." He comes close to me. His panting breath smells of wine, something hard is moving under his apron. "A hammer," I think through my head, "he wants to kill me like he killed my poor dog. He is crazy ”. He is now bracing himself against the wall with both claws and I am free for a few seconds. I let myself fall quickly and straight into the narrow area that remains between the wall and its sweaty body. He is wide-legged and through this tackle I quickly slip through and on to the barrels and into the free space that results between them, since they cannot stand closer than their bellies allow. I crawl on the cold floor to the back wall. I squeeze myself into the narrow space with difficulty. Astonished, he stays in the side posture for a while, turns to me, but cannot follow me with his plump body and cannot reach me to pull myself out. I curled up in this gap. How long? He goes away. The candlelight disappears. Hunger and thirst disappear. The fear remains for hours. Then he comes back visibly sobered. He focuses on fine talk, on begging. "Come on out, we have to go home, I won't do anything to you." Finally, I hear him climbing the stairs again. I crawl out carefully. And when his shadow stands out against the light at the entrance, I sneak up. He says nothing. The servant had now arrived with the ox cart. The field was mowed and the farmhand had started charging. I should go home alone ahead. "Woe, you're telling someone!" Who should I tell what? That he gave me bread and meat and wine to eat and drink? That he wanted to slay me? Who would believe me Where should i go '''MY FATHER APPEARS''' It has happened more and more often that the farmer hissed at me as he passed: "Just wait, I can still get you!". I now knew what he meant. "I'm going to make you prince," he added. E should probably be a consolation. But it was unbearable, my perplexity was endless. I couldn't and didn't want to stay here. It was early September. Suddenly someone knew where my father was. He was particularly well known here in the Retz area. Not only because of the photo business, which had flourished during the war, because all soldiers had to have a military pass and the civilians had a passport photo, but he had many friends among the rural population. Even in grandfather's day it was customary to end the obligatory Sunday trip with a "basement". It wasn't a booze, it was a cultivated cheerful enjoyment, an art of friendly relaxation through lively conversations with a few glasses of wine. There was always a lute or mandolin and it was sung. An art that you no longer understand today. In grandfather's time, the so-called founding years, there was an unprecedented mental attitude, the social feeling. Renowned businessmen rented a covered wagon with a team of horses on Sundays. It was festively decorated and everyone involved in the business, without exception, was invited to take a trip into the countryside. The business owner paid for the costs. A company party, a thank you to the employees, not ordered by the state or a trade union, an act of humanity, togetherness, responsibility. Perhaps the thoughts of Bismarck's reforms have already taken root. This kind of friendships and acquaintances grew that could be transferred to descendants. These friendships were now paying off. My father had found accommodation with a wealthy farmer in exchange for offering his labor. My mother and I made the pilgrimage in the hope that we might find accommodation here. I couldn't exchange words with Father. Our appearance made him uncomfortable. The strict peasant woman made it factually clear to my mother and me that there would be no place for us here. Somehow my mother could understand why our stay in Obernalb could not be continued. A small meeting took place. The farmer wrote a few words on a handout, which allowed an audition to the mayor, at whose instigation we were given the right to live in Retz. Russians, refugees, expelled, Viennese, whose houses were bombed, plus the few locals: the small town burst at the seams, so to speak. Food was scarce. But a certain striving for order began to take hold: there was a Russian command post that had been quartered in one of the most distinguished houses on the market square. Russians in clean uniforms with various medals attached suggested officers. These decided on the fate of the crowds huddled here. We got the right to live, not an apartment. We were assigned regular work for a regular fee in the municipal wine and agriculture association. '''THE OLD MRS. RABEL''' In Vincencigasse, which led past the church and monastery to the city wall, a few tiny old houses lined up closely together. We should move into one of these houses. The entrance at ground level led into a spacious hallway that ended in the rear part of the house. A small walled courtyard followed. From the hallway one could enter a room that was a little lower than the entrance and the only window facing the courtyard, at the same height as the outside floor. Mrs. Rabel lived here. She appeared small, delicate and frail. Her husband had been a shoemaker and had his workshop here. He had died long ago. Ms. Rabel made her living by renting the apartment on the mezzanine floor, kitchen and two rooms. A war widow with a child lived here. Somehow we had to make arrangements. The warrior widow made her bedroom available. The double beds stood on a pedestal, like a catheter 18 in old classrooms, you climbed up, as if to a special place, as if to a sacred place. There was enough work in the municipal wine and agriculture association, always in communal groups. The attacks by the Russians were reduced and were even punished by the command. Attempts were made to give city life a somewhat orderly coat of paint. We were out all day. Nevertheless, the living conditions were very cramped. We had no way to prepare meals in the bedroom. The kitchen was not available to us. When leaving the house and on the way to the toilet, we always had to walk past the sleeping woman, the widow and her child. Sometimes they pretended not to have to speak. It was not a permanent condition for everyone involved. Mrs. Rabel in her basement apartment became sickly. Her sister in the house next door seemed to have a solution. “Ms. Rabel is bedridden. I cannot take care of her because my husband is also ill and needs me. If you are ready, Ms. Nather, to take care of her, you can sleep with her and also cook a little. ”Ms. Nather, my mother, was of course ready. In the room there was a bed opposite each other on the wall, a table in the middle and a stove in the darkest part. So mother had a bed, slept opposite Ms. Rabel. There was no room for a third bed. There was only a wooden bench across the cellar door. This door, a round arch made of heavy wood, was locked and barred with broad iron bands. It led down steep stone steps into the corridors, which, like in Znojmo, were all interconnected. Today these courses are also a special feature of the area in Retz, a tourist attraction par excellence. They undermine the city twenty-six kilometers. At that time, however, they were still densely filled with barrels, filled with good wines. When the Russians discovered this secret, everything went underground. In order to consume faster, they opened the bungs, let the wine run out, bathed in it, drank lying down because they could no longer stand, many drowned. As I lay on the wooden bed, I heard the gurgling roar behind the basement door. The fear that some of the bugs could spot the stairs and come up and break the door stole my sleep. Mrs. Rabel was getting worse. She was clear, but very weak. She often spent her hours in need of help in night bowls, often next to it. Still, she had an appetite. Her sister sometimes brought her something edible, e.g. B. a poppy seed roll. A kingdom for such a bread. Silly saying. Kingdoms and even empires no longer existed. Not even to give away. Frau Rabel greedily took the bread with shaky, emaciated hands, and hid it under the covers right next to the bowl. "Ms. Nather, I have a folder that prints!" Moaned Ms. Rabel. My mother lifted the blanket, removed the bowl, smoothed the sheet, and everything was full of poppy seeds. But they were alive, bouncing back and forth, seeming startled by the sudden drafts and looking for new warm hiding places in a hurry. It was the purest circus, a flea circus. Fleas and poppy seeds were indistinguishable. "I can't eat the bread", Mrs. Rabel regretted, "you can have it Inge". Despite hunger, I didn't feel like it. I preferred to go to the city wall, nettle poached there. They made the best soup. One day Mrs. Rabel's sighing stopped. It was strangely quiet. She no longer complained about wrinkles on her back. She no longer opened her eyes or mouth. When she stopped breathing, her jaw dropped and her eyes turned to the ceiling. Mother called for the sister. She came to see for herself. At that time there was no mortuary. The dead remained in the house until the funeral. So we slept for three nights with a dead woman who had the worst smells. '''LEGACIES''' My pleated skirt and two blouses had become rags in the summer due to heat, sweat, and occasional rain. Even a pair of shoes was used up. Mrs. Rabel rummaged in her treasure chest and took out a skirt that came from her youth. It was striped in red and black and had a yellow strand on the hem. It looked like a new fashion. I wore this skirt for a long time, it didn't need to be changed. Among the treasures of the chest were a few shoes, made of black leather, elegantly narrow and Turkish pointed. Maybe wedding shoes. My feet were swollen from walking barefoot. Only in the morning and with difficulty could I put my feet in my shoes. They were the only pair of shoes I had for a year. I even went to school in Esslingen with it and sparked suspicious gazes with it and with my skirt. '''VIENNA ''' It was autumn in Retz. The wine and agriculture association no longer had any work to offer. Everyone had established themselves somehow. The realization prevailed that the return to Znojmo was not the best. My father had contacted his brother in Vienna. Uncle Paul lived alone as a bachelor and enemy of women in a small apartment that was decorated with several oil paintings in gold frames. At home he played mainly chorals and other church music on a harmonium and he boasted that he sometimes played the organ in St. Stephen's Cathedral. Family circles had whispered that he was a little weird because his mother, who finally wanted a girl after four boys when she was pregnant for the fifth time, tried to hide her disappointment with the fifth boy by trying to hide her disappointment had only put him on girl dresses. Uncle Paul couldn't take me in, but he knew what to do. There was a girls' boarding school near Alserstrasse, of good reputation, Pensionat Kastali. I would be in good hands there. In addition to the usual costs, the pension administration asked for goods in kind, especially from the girls who came from the country. In my case there was no waiting for food, but with firewood. My father had found eight sacks of firewood, which were deposited with Uncle Paul and should only be gradually brought to the boarding school. I don't know who ultimately got at least a lukewarm room with the wood. '''THE GIRL FROM THE MOON ''' The winter was extremely cold. Only the dining room was a bit overturned, all other rooms remained unheated. There were no window panes. They broke up during the bombing of Vienna. The windows were taped with newspaper. This not only made it dark, it also didn't stop the cold. It was so cold that we went to bed in full winter clothes. Back then everyone was wearing felt boots. They came into fashion in the last years of the war, as far as one could speak of fashion, because their manufacture was cheaper - it is better not to speak of where the hair came from - than leather boots, which were reserved for the military. I only took off my felt boots before going to bed. All the girls slept under the covers with their day clothes. Some of them only so that they could get up again all the more quickly after the professor whispered "Good night!" To the gently opened door of the apparently still asleep. In Austria, all women of advanced age, if they did not come from the country, call themselves “Frau Professor” and the men “engineer”. The renunciation of nobility predicates could not be ache, so this title was a weak substitute for it. In the style of the imperial family, you never knew, Professor Professor was wearing black clothes, ankle-length, with a closed stand-up collar and a pince-nez19 either in her hand or on her nose. In the dining room she sat at the top of the table and gracefully said a table prayer before each meal. It was always the same: "All eyes are waiting for you, you give them their food in their time, you open your hand and fill everything that lives with pleasure." All eyes were on the soup tureen. How can the word "pleasure" be interpreted? Like many months, years, there was no food at any time. When was the hand open that one would have loved to reach for, at least only hinted at? Instead, it seemed, at least, the fingers curled into a fist that kept an unfathomable secret hidden. The meal, like prayer, was the same three times a day: a plate of soup made from pea porridge, a uniform meal of the population and the Russian soldiers. In addition, a slice of white bread that was as thin as tissue paper, you could literally see through. In the morning, coffee was served instead of soup, by name, I think it was diluted molasses made from sugar beet. All the girls had a contact point somewhere, where they could also get a few bites. Not me. Uncle Paul had said, "Come to me if you need anything!" I was there twice, had rung the bell, noticed how someone was looking through the "spy", the peephole. It was not opened. After meals, some girls spoke French to the professor. They obviously liked it when others didn't understand them. I had learned English, and not bad, as it turned out later, I only knew the sound of French. I was the country pomeranian here. All girls had a family home, parents, or at least one parent, or grandparents, uncles or aunts, where they could spend the weekend. They came back relaxed, in a good mood, with fresh laundry and ironed clothes at the beginning of the week. Of course, everyone had a friend and was not afraid to talk about it. After Professor said "Good night!" It was like "fire free" in the crew cabin. They left the bed, sneaked out of the house and only reappeared at dawn before the "waking up" was announced. Some told horror stories. They would have been in a cemetery with their friend, who was said to be a medical student, climbed the tombs already opened by grave robbers and took skulls. They could be sold at good prices. Everything was possible here. Have I lived on the moon since then? '''THURN & TAXIS''' The first snow was falling, although October had not yet come to an end. In the streets of the city it soon became dirty, yes black. Oh snow, you are homesick like me and you can't go back to heaven. From time to time a freight forwarding company Haberfeldner drove between Vienna and Retz; a rickety truck with an open cargo area. He transported boxes, suitcases, sacks, spoons, and also people. Because the train hardly worked at all. When all the baggage was loaded, you could climb up and look for a hiding place in which you hoped to find a hold and some protection from the cold. The truck drove for two to three hours because it stopped in each village, loaded and unloaded, always crowded by a group of people who also wanted to join. In Vienna you arrived stiffly frozen, hardly able to move. So I got the most beautiful frostbite despite my felt boots. Would Thurn & Taxis, the first postal company from Vienna to Luxembourg five hundred years ago, transport their people and goods more comfortably? '''EVERYDAY LIFE''' The common washrooms in the boarding house were very busy in the mornings and evenings. It was the only way to get in touch with warm water. There were no showers, the washbasins were separated by curtains or wooden walls. I was not used to undressing in front of others, not even girls. I tried to come when the hustle and bustle had subsided, but most of the time there was no more warm water. I was able to reach the school via Langegasse without using the tramway. It was a real city school building, with strict high windows, cheerless gray facades in the middle of house canyons. The classrooms were clearly overcrowded. We sat in coats and gloves, without books, without notebooks and writing materials, with clammy fingers and hungry stomachs, each self-conscious, with no desire to approach each other. Two Jewish girls sat close together in the back row of seats, they only spoke in Hebrew to each other. I wondered where they could have been hiding during the war and hostile times. Many just sat there to get confirmation of having attended high school. Philosophy was one of the new subjects. That was quite interesting and suits me. In geography or biology, the regular growth of the crystals was discussed and calculated in detail: tetrahedron, octahedron. How should you remember everything without supporting it with notes? Angular functions, sine, cosine. A lot of things were interesting and were remembered. Some things needed further explanation. After all, I had skipped a year. So I went to Mödling to see a young woman with a baby. We had good conversations, in between she looked after the baby. She was happy about the two marks I brought with me. It was a little warmer in her apartment than in Kastali's lounge. The way by tramway and light rail and sometimes walking was long. The darkness of November soon fell. There was hardly any street light in Vienna. There were no illuminated shops. If there were any glassed-in windows, they were unlit, and there was little or no light coming through paper-clad windows. To the left and right of the road lay piles of rubble. Only the middle of the lane was cleared because of the electrical1. From the Stadtbahn station down Alserstrasse to the confluence with Langegasse it was pitch dark and no one was to be seen. Everything crawled like rats between the cairns in makeshift accommodations. Can I hear steps behind me? Is it imagination? A quick look back is of no use. Yawning blackness. Finally the Langegasse. It wasn't as bad as the bombs. The rows of three- to four-story houses from the Wilhelminian period towered like lonely colossi. On the next Mödling appointment, a man suddenly appears next to me at the Stadtbahn station. I keep walking, although I notice that he wants to speak to me, he is on the side. “I've been watching them for a long time,” he said, “They get in here at a regular time on Tuesday, drive to Mödling and come back in the evening. At the same time. You have a nice walk. I could mediate them to the ballet, as suitable people are currently being sought. ”I continue to walk without answering. "Listen Miss, I'm serious about the offer. You have a career ahead of you. Why are not you answering? Think about it. I'll be back next Tuesday. ”The train is coming, I'm getting on and I'm happy to get away. '''BALLET AND BEEF''' Maybe the man is right. After all, I had been in a ballet school in Znojmo since I was five. Father wanted it that way. It was in the Maze House on Oberen Platz, the winter palace of the Ugartes von Jaispitz. A strange coincidence that I didn't know at the time. It was those nobles with whom maternal grandparents and great-grandfathers had worked. I liked to go there and live in the fairy tales that we were supposed to tell through body language. Surrender yourself and let yourself go into another world, a soothing rapture. The teacher preferred me, moved me to a special class. I stayed there for about seven years. Then Lotte Sevelin moved to Vienna. In the meantime we also belonged to the Third Reich and everything had changed. Together with school friends, we visited another ballet group under the guidance of an elderly lady who put more emphasis on physical training and art jumps that she could not perform than on internalization. It was all over. A long time ago. The man who was walking next to me might not be wrong. That would be a tempting prospect for the future, an opportunity to shape life. “Ade cellar apartment in Vincencigasse! The young teacher friend in Mödling listened to my report on the mysterious offer from the persecutor. "Dear child," she said, "don't go into it! You don't know what is going on in Vienna at the moment. Incredible things happen. There is real human trafficking. Young blonde girls are particularly in demand. Promises bring them to consent to a rendez-vous from which they never return. At best, they end up in a harem of southeastern countries from which they can never escape, because they were bought. ”She knew even worse. Young girls who could not be sold well were slaughtered. The famine was great. There were no slaughter animals. Not in this crowded city, hardly in the country. The Russian invasion force was as hungry as the soldiers who remained from German Wehrmacht associations, who wandered aimlessly, if they could not go home, to relatives and places to stay in eastern Germany, which were no longer German, like stray dogs. Countless people simply disappeared into Vienna. Nobody counted them. The boiling Völkerkessel did not allow orderly municipal work. Suddenly veal was offered in cans, at high prices on the flourishing black market. Mostly hacked. Gradually it became known how to make soap from bone fat, human fat and lampshades from skin, human skin, and felt materials from human hair, a commodity from German concentration camps I moved my study lesson in Mödling to another day, at a different time, to another light rail station. But in the darkness of Alserstrasse I heard the steps that followed me again. "You angered me, my lady! I've been waiting for you! You shouldn't keep anyone waiting. I don't like that! ”So he threatened. What now? I can't run. Not with felt boots, not over the scattered bricks in the dark. But a tram came. People get out. I mingle with them, ready to call for help. There were more people towards the city center. I reached the house under their protection. I gave up my Mödling lesson. Only went to school and back, during the day. In December I sat on the truck between the various piles at five in the morning and came to Retz half-frozen. '''BACK HOME''' You could get information from the billboards - there were still no newspapers. All non-Austrians, except the Russians, of course, have to be at the train station, exact dates followed, they are brought to Germany by special train. The action has been postponed several times. After standing and waiting for hours, we were sent away. Then it worked. In the snow flurry on a February day. It was cattle cars that we had to squeeze into. Without light, without seats, without blankets, dark spots on the floor. Some people still had luggage to sit on. We huddled together. The trip took three weeks. The train often stops on siding. Pee breaks. In the snow. It didn't matter who stood next to it. The demarcation line was in Salzburg. People from the Red Cross appeared, provided us with hot tea and bread. We got away from the Russians, everything is getting better under the Americans in Germany. The first delousing took place. Although men and women in separate rooms, we were shoved through a chamber close to each other and dusted. Yes, there was order in Germany. And so we came "home to the Reich". Torn up, ragged, no longer lousy, without property, as Hitler had promised. At home, but not at home, not at home. A new book is opened. '''LETTER TO JOSCHI NOEL''' Karl Wozilka January 2006 Hello dear Joschi Noel, as is the case when you retire, addresses are first exchanged and then memories. And then suddenly people appear who, because they belong to Znojmo, are also very alive in their memories. Now we hardly knew each other, only from hearsay actually. And since Stazi has given us your email address with the request to report something about our experiences and about the friend Elli, I want to try to fulfill this wish.     Yes, when we were still living in Znojmo, Elli2 in Kerneckerstrasse and I in Höckstrasse, we were good friends. We both had a bike, the others didn't yet, so we got a bit further out of the city and enjoyed going on adventures and expeditions. We were together at the Schimberger Teich near Schönwald for a swim. My mother was there too. Without a mother we cycled up the Thayatal to the bull rock, where it has already started to become impassable. We shouldered our bicycles over the bull rock, a mighty block of Granti that fell into the water in a smooth wall to the Thaya, and climbed down on the other side. It was difficult here because a kind of moraine lay over the entire valley slope. They were big boulders, it was not easy to overcome them by bike. When we arrived at the Thayaufer we realized that it was impossible to take the same way back. So we looked for a Furth and, always with our bikes on our backs, we ran across to the other bank. Now, in Frain, they have drained water from the reservoir from time to time, without notice, and of course the water level rose. Pretty quickly. A way through foreign waters, with the bike on my back, with rising tide, so that was already adventurous. The bull rock, which fell so vertically and unfathomably into the depth of the Thaya, did not allow us any other way, no detour. The other bank was also steep but overgrown, and so we gradually worked our way wet, freezing and in darkness to Trausnitz. We didn't have a flashlight and just crawled along the slope, always along the river. A faint light burned in the Trausnitzmühle. I think there was a small electrical plant in the building at the time. But it was surrounded by a wall and an insurmountable wire gate blocked the way. Our shouting and shouting didn't help. Nobody heard us, because behind it the water rushed over different weirs. How was it behind the wall? How deep? Water? Stones? We decided to throw a bike down to find out where it caught our eye. It sounded like you could jump up. We did that too. We ended up in a nettle field. But safe. Then we worked our way into the dimly lit engine room. There were two men who looked at us in amazement. We then made our way home on one healthy bike that wasn't thrown over the wall. The Elli like a saddlebag on the luggage rack. The road in Thayatal was like a redemption to us. But here, too, we weren't allowed to turn on the bike, you know, because of planes and spies. It was already after midnight when we arrived at Marienplatz. Our parents or mothers stood there, arguing loudly and desperately. I don't remember what the reception was like. So this is an example of our ventures that have welded us together very much. After the expulsion we found each other again in Retz. Since several Znojmo were also our age, including teachers from our school, it was decided to set up a “Znojmo class”. And so we all tried to create somewhat normal conditions. We went to school, which is featured in the “famous” film by the extraordinary woman Hörbiger, here Julia. At the time, Elli lived in Mitterretzbach with his brother and parents. She came to school every day through a ravine across the fields. In the satchel she had a hammer, which she always carried with her to defend herself against intrusive Russians. I mean, she was never scared. We came to Germany in so-called refugee transports, hardly any luggage, crammed into cattle cars. The trip took three weeks. On the way, the Red Cross finally distributed warm tea and bread in Germany. Sometimes we stood on some siding in an unknown area for days. At least there was an opportunity to "hit the bushes". Otherwise we were like pigs. We sat on backpacks or on the dirty wooden floor of the wagons, uncombed and unwashed, and we didn't know which slaughterhouse the train would take us to. We were separated on the way because the transport was too long. So we got lost. Only after we were accommodated in Germany were we able to find our addresses through correspondence with mutual acquaintances. I lived in Weiler near Göppingen, Elli with parents in Bergheim near Esslingen. I immediately went to visit her when I consulted geographically. Barefoot because I had no shoes. You cannot imagine the joy of reunion. I worked in a weaving mill in Ebersbach to get food stamps. I also got shoes, on cover slip. Elli was cared for by her parents. Her father soon found work in the city. The summer, which had brought us enough adventure, was coming to an end. As addicted to education as we were, we decided to finish our school together. The Schidlos now lived in Esslingen, and so the girls' high school in Esslingen offered itself. It was good there. We were fond of schoolchildren. We were the two oldest of the so-called refugee girls. We were allowed to work for the younger ones. We were given presents for Christmas, e.g. with socks and gloves and the celebration was pretty festive. One of us, Elli or I, should give a speech to the students. The lot fell on me. It was my first speech to people. After graduating from high school, Elli stayed in Esslingen. The family lived well on the father's income. But I came to my father in Wertheim am Main. He had tried to set up a very modest photo business there. For me, the time in Wertheim was not a good one. Elli and I longed for each other. I didn't have time to look for new friendships. Elli soon had a friend, that was Anton Eberharder. They got married after two or three years. Toni had studied mechanical engineering and ran a heating assembly company with his father. Business was booming. It was the time when people started building "houses" and furnishing them with oil heaters. Elli and Toni could afford vacations that I didn't even dare to dream of. I have to confess, I envied her sometimes. Then the children came. After the second child, Elli found it difficult to recover. She had two girls. But Toni and father-in-law wanted a “regular owner” for business. Although her family doctor had advised her against a third child, she became pregnant again, had a girl again, but never made it. It started with poor vision, circulatory disorders, emotional disorders in the motor area, she became bedridden. Her mother-in-law now took care of the three children, including the little one! and two men, husband and son, and the bedridden Elli. That was too much for the woman. She became heart sick. For a long time, it had not been recognized by the doctor's side which illness was hidden with Elli. Many cures were unsuccessful. Finally, in Tübingen, it was concluded that multiple sclerosis was occurring. In the meantime, she was confined to a wheelchair. But brave as she was, and because little was known about the disease, she still had hope of improvement. She played ball with her children, out of a wheelchair. Or she went on long trips alone in a wheelchair, like back then by bike, from Esslingen to the Schurwald forest in Plochingen. Her father had passed away in the meantime, the mother alone, while the woman Eberharder (Toni's mother) did not know anymore before work. So Elli "came back" to the mother's household. And how it works. Toni got a healthy friend. Elli did not agree to a divorce. It blocked that Toni could build a new life again. Elli stayed with her mother and when she was unable to take care of her sick daughter, mother and daughter were placed in the same home. That was in Bietigheim-Bissingen. Elli was getting worse and worse, sometimes the disease stagnated. But not in this case. Elli died twelve years ago. Her mother had survived her for a few more years. We were no longer connected to Toni. So she spent 35 years in a wheelchair. And the whole big family was involved in their suffering. Such fates have to be kept in mind when one is stalked by dissatisfaction. I have often thought of my jealousy from before and realized that this is really a completely unnecessary tendency. Thinking of Elli, I never managed to envy anyone anymore. Actually sad that you need such a school. '''LETTER TO JOSCHI NOEL'''   Karl Wozilka in January 2006 Hello Joschi, According to your wishes, I want to tell you in telegram style how "my way" has been from 1945 to the present day. With Stazi, Schopfi and other Znojmo boys from the News HJ. I ended up in the military training camp at Schloss-Stuppach near Gloggnitz in late autumn 1944. I don't remember that you were there. As the front line moved closer and closer to where we were staying, we loaded the radios and all equipment and weapons onto platform trucks, which we were hauled up in front of, and hurried through the Höllental to the west. On the way I was separated from the small group Znojmo. I.e. Stadler, Schopf and others were able to return to Znojmo on adventurous paths, as I later learned. I finally ended up in a news school in Linz because I had a bad grasp of Morse code. In a very stressful short training I came into the wire radio transmission room of the Gauleiter of Oberdonau Eigruber, decrypted and transmitted the air situation reports from the bunker, later only messages about the course of the front. When the American artillery from Urfahr finally covered the city with grenades, we radio operators (meanwhile I had a military pass, uniform and smoking card) were transferred to assault vehicles in a southern direction and we landed at Goisern on May 5th. The war ended there in a dramatic action. We stood in an unmistakable long column of horse-drawn carriages, ambulances, tanks, anti-aircraft guns and tankers and were supposed to cross the Pötschenpass. Suddenly an American jeep overtook the column, a German lieutenant informed via a megaphone that the war was over: One should turn back and stop going. In the column were the Gauleiter, senior SS officers and a knight's cross bearer in the immediate vicinity. The command: march forward! we keep fighting! In the meantime, our department had been taken out of the assault car and replaced with a lame vehicle powered by wood gas. I was instructed by the driver as a “stoker”. And then the post went into the passport. Halfway up, at the end of Goisern, our vehicle stalled and prevented the column from continuing. I tore open the carburetor lid and wanted to reload. The fire went out completely and they wanted to shoot me as a saboteur. Our vehicle was rushed out of line and we rolled slowly over a meadow slope back to Goisern. The column continued on the way. As soon as we got to the bottom, 20 American fighter-bombers appeared in the clear blue sky and unloaded their terrible load into the passport in the form of cluster bombs and 2 cm handguns. A terrible inferno presented itself to our eyes, only the casings of the bullets dropped on us. I recognized the rescuer of the small team, which consisted of two battle-proven non-commissioned officers and five almost adult soldiers. At the award ceremony I was given ½ liter of gin with sugar (I did not know alcohol and its effects at the time) and was almost passed out in a haystack. It was only two days later that I was able to get up. Thank God they didn't let me down in my frenzy. In a pitiful state, I bypassed Salzburg due to impending prisoner of war, moved along mountain paths, past Lake Zell, and sometime in mid-May I landed in Marchtrenk on a small farm that was run by two old sisters. The "Miss" Haberfellner took me in as a small boy and took care of me until I was completely restored. In the meantime, a certain overview of the entire situation after the lost war had been gained. It was heard how the lines of demarcation ran between the Americans and the Russians, and something vague was heard about the situation at home. All attempts, via various contact points such as the Red Cross, Swiss and international search services, etc. getting a picture failed. So I decided to go to Znojmo on my own. Equipped with a backpack, provisions and colored uniform parts, I overcame the closely guarded military borders at Mauthausen, and I set out, partly on trucks, partly on foot towards Vienna in march. We continued via Poysdorf, where I already met the sad train of the designated old Brno, to the border at Nikolsburg. I was almost arrested for trying to legally enter the Czech Republic. A short time later I crossed the border in a terrible thunderstorm black and found shelter in a farm where the German residents were still hoping to be able to stay. I was infected by the Ruhr there and stayed in the village for a few days. At night we experienced the horrors of the Russian Soldateska. The women and girls were hidden in the hayloft, the courtyard gates were barely barricaded. Days later I continued my march towards Znojmo. In Weissstetten I was handed down to the "Narodni Vybor" by a German-speaking group of men. A day of hard work: covering the roof in the scorching heat of the only intact house. This was where the N.V committee lived (in complete SA uniform!): After I had finished my work in the evening, I was interrogated and my Germanness was reproached. Sing the watch on the Rhine! was the order, and my bare buttocks were beaten up with a karabatsch. Then I was put on the march and should come to the Moravian Kromau concentration camp. I found a “loophole”, hid in a ruin, waited for the night and was then able to continue on Brünnerstrasse. I arrived in Tesswitz at dawn. A few women who had worked in the Ditmar factory recognized me and started shouting. I walked carefree to Schallersdorf and reached the field in an adventurous way and crouched through the vineyards or finally crawled across the border to Unterretzbach. After a rest break at Retz - people were always found to help you, even if in need - I set off in the west. Where? was the question after I knew my people were no longer at home. Finally I ended up in Marchtrenk with the two good spirits in Upper Austria. It was harvest time: with a 28-year-old horse, two old women, a 75-year-old servant, a toddler in my person, and another soldier from my homeland coped with the work in the field. Threshing was carried out with the village's only threshing machine until Christmas. (They went from farm to farm and helped.) There was at least decent food. The many deaths that had to be cared for, because dying was the order of the day, the old gravedigger could no longer handle alone, so I was assigned to him. (Conversations that got underway during the hard work in the cemetery still remind me of scenes from Shakespeare's Hamlet). I later worked for the electricity company and helped set up new masts. Garden houses in the neighborhood should be painted with Carbolineum, unfortunately there were no rubber gloves. The consequences were very painful. Finally the school principal discovered me as a prospective teacher, provided me with a discarded bicycle and sent me to the surrounding large courtyards of the "Mostviertel" to teach disabled or school-shy children there. As a reward, I brought home all sorts of food such as flour, potatoes, sometimes a piece of bacon from these “farmer's castles”. Marie was then able to make edible food (broad beans was our daily bread). Unfortunately, the only sow that survived the war on the farm had to be slaughtered because it contracted erysipelas. A funeral procession accompanied her to the nearby forest, where she was laid to rest. One night later in the year we had a sheep that was slaughtered the same night, making the survival of the farm residents more bearable for weeks. On my birthday in April 1956, I finally found out surprisingly from a message from relatives that my relatives had found a new home in Gaildorf in Baden Württemberg. With a refugee transport I reached the final destination of my Odyssey after a 14-day trip across Germany. After I had told my experiences at home, I was given the nickname of a "modern Simplizius". But now in a nutshell: 5 months of work on a wood yard in a furniture factory in Gaildorf. In the autumn of 1946, an entrance exam (after a two-year break) to the advanced grammar school. 1950 Completion and beginning of studies at the Pedagogical Institute in Schwäbisch Gmünd. 1952 First state examination for teaching at primary schools. January 9, 1953 first school position in Aalen, in the summer of the same year transfer to primary and secondary school in Ellwangen. At Pentecost in 1953, I met Ingeborg Nather at a “small” meeting in the Znojmo at Lake Ebnisee. In 1955 we got married in extremely modest circumstances. I find a new job in a village near Crailsheim. In 1960 our daughter Jenny was born, two years later our son Elmar. In 1990 I quit school and we moved to our little house in Wallhausen. Thank you for your New Year's greetings and I would like to pass them on with the best wishes for you and yours. As you learned from my war and post-war descriptions, I probably conquered the terrain in Upper Austria before you. I am still familiar with the area today, and when we travel to Znojmo, which happens more often in the year, many memories of that time arise in me. In Hörsching e.g. I discovered our neighboring family from Znojmo near the then Amiflugplatz and learned a lot from them about the end of the Greater German Empire. My dear Inge always reminds me to write down my experiences from back then. You have now experienced a tiny section, but I am tired of thinking about these times, and I also want to beautify my children and others with them. You have probably experienced something similar, which of course would also interest me. But I ask that the exchange between us, as well as that with Erich Stadler and me, only remains in the intimate area, as in the mutual storytelling. I hope that Inges and my report are well received by you. And I look forward to messages from you. All the best and see you soon, Karl and Ingeborg HUNGER   Ingeborg Wozilka Sunday June 30, 2002 GD dog sports ground in the countryside hunger I learned to beg It wasn't a shame but bitter need. In front of locked doors I stand and still want just a piece of bread. You have little yourself they don’t want to share that, and fear makes you hard. My mother will cry I'll come back With empty hands. The barracks, a castle one day, soldiers laugh and sing, and they throw with Bread rinds after me, I chase after it. And then in the grass another piece of bark, brown and crispy, behind me, next to me, almost like rain, like a dog on all fours I hurry collecting in the apron skirt. The songs fall silent the little spectacle lures everyone to the window. Fright grips me I am fair game when they come out. Keep running, run with the bread in the skirt, run. Today I like to sing and others starve and beg somewhere in the world. ''' LETTER TO HANS BRENNECKE''' Ingeborg Wozilka Obere Heide 11 D 74599 Wallhausen Tel. 07955-530 August 20, 2005 Dear Hans Brennecke. The preparation for our meeting in Schorndorf or Neuwirtshaus went so quickly that I had no opportunity to deal with it in detail. Karl could just make the pictures and the letter copies. In addition, these pictures are actually everything I have from the “old family” Brennecke. In Znojmo there were two large albums with photographs of the Brennecke family. They were kept in a precious casket with tortoiseshell inlays (oh dear), so that they seemed particularly valuable to me as a child. On Thursday, one day after our meeting, the thought occurred to me to look in one of my document folders and I actually found her birth and baptismal certificate among my mother's documents, on which I made a special discovery. I have always looked at this note as a whole and have not read it carefully, otherwise I would have noticed the following: Father, mother: Wilhelm Brennecke Maria, daughter of Florian Wuck etc. Castle finder in Znojmo and the Theresia born Duschberger that means that the father of “Mizerl” 2, from whom the letters come, had a similar job to Wilhelm Brennecke in Jaispitz. The first name "Florian" also confirms my memory of the "Florian in spirit". The little one got its name from the maternal grandfather. This way of burying children seemed so strange and macabre to me when I heard about it. However, it should have been common at the time. Then I remembered that there really had to be a fifth child of the married couple Mizerl and Wilhelm Brennecke.3 My mother told of a small child, whom the maids often warmed her frozen hands on and who died of pneumonia afterwards . A young. I don't know the name. 4 My mother's stories also include the strange-sounding story that the children, i.e.Margarete, Heinrich and Minna, could not communicate with their parents at all because the parents (Mizerl and Wilhelm) could not speak Czech, but the children only could spent their day with the Czech staff, who in turn did not speak German. So it happened that the children often could not exchange with their parents. The parents were so busy that they had no time to raise their children. It seems that the two counties, Mizerl and Wilhelm, were quite demanding The letters from Mizerl (already handed over to you as a copy) show what influence the counts had that they even determined the names of the children: Max after the count Max and Heinrich after the count Heinrich6 called Henry. If my mother had spoken of Henry, I thought it was showing off because I didn't know the letters at that time. According to these two letters, Mizel did not seem to be doing well after Heinrich was born. At the age of 18 she had married Wilhelm Brennecke, who was 20 years older, and had at least these five children in a row (who knows how many miscarriages) and was paralyzed and bedridden for 15 years at 29! My mother said she must have caught a cold. Today I think this statement is incredible. From my experience with my girlfriend, I know that after her third child she developed multiple sclerosis. Although warned by her family doctor not to give birth to children due to poor health, this warning was not taken seriously. She spent 25 years in a wheelchair. The young Mizerl, constantly pregnant and covered with hard work, she was a cook, could not escape her fate. At least through Max I know that the count's family preferred him very much, showered him with gifts and took him on trips. They brought beautiful glass and porcelain items (some from Venice and Egypt) from the trips, all of which were safely stored in chests under the roof of the Höckstrasse house. Everything may have died in the bombing on April 2, 1945, when a bomb fell through the roof and stairwell and caused a lot of destruction. It was practically impossible to reach the roof structure. There was also no time to do so. I survived the Russian invasion of the Capuchin monastery. There was still a narrow silver soup spoon engraved with “Max”. My mother had him indiscriminately with other useful and useless things, e.g. a tea strainer, caught and taken away. (We only had one backpack full and it was taken away from us at the border.) I had kept Max's spoon for a long time, but I can no longer find it. He would have had And as can also be seen from “Mizerl's” letter, the castle was sold around the turn of the century.7 The Brenneckes moved to Znojmo, around 1903. Grandfather Wuck had lived there in a rented apartment on Marienplatz, between Kolbstrasse and Brandstrasse (German House) .8th There was a drinking water fountain in front of the house. Grandfather Wuck must have been “well-heeled”. Because he had a tenement building built in Höckstrasse, at that time still used as a vineyard (house No. 12). That was in 1912.9 The Brennecke family from Jaispitz moved into one of the six apartments. There were two rooms, anteroom and kitchen. Heinrich and Margarete, Wilhelm and the sick Mizerl lived in it. The Minna lived with the grandparents Wuck on Marienplatz. The Max has to move out soon. In the neighboring apartment was a Striž family with two sons. One, still a high school student, fell in love with Minna. At that time she was 15. Grandfather Wuck paid this high school student a degree in mathematics after graduating from high school. That was Eduard, he married Minna, they soon moved to Brno and Edi became director of the girls' high school.10 The couple had a daughter, 11 the mother of Helga and Helmut.12 Edi's brother, Oskar, had fallen very young in the First World War. Nobody could say why Florian Wuck was so wealthy. Allegedly, he or his wife had a white sewing shop in Annagasse in Vienna.13 Apparently, due to the many events, privately and politically, people had forgotten the profession Florian Wuck had, namely how it was in Margarete's birth and baptismal certificate says that he was a castle finder in Znojmo. You do not know whether it was the Znojmo Castle or a noble palace. I will inquire as soon as we come to Znojmo what we are going to do. Maybe Florian Wuck was adept at money matters. Maybe he had relationships. He was probably known to the count family in Jaispitz and referred Wilhelm Brennecke there. He spoke German like the counts themselves. The castle keeper Wuck must have been interested in being pleased with the count Ugarte-Lovatelli. 14 Or he has great confidence in the W.B. (Wilhelm Brennecke) set that he even gave him his daughter (I only know of one) as a deposit It is known that serfdom had been abolished by law (Joseph II), but the smaller princes still insisted on various rights here and there, which had a strong impact on the personal sphere of their subordinates. E.g. the jus prima nocte. Maybe it wasn't just extended to the first night. That means here, the woman was young, pretty, and Wilhelm Brennecke should be grateful for his good position. Back then, people were still very caught up in the tradition of being dependent on parents, employers, and society, in all these restrictions that social coexistence had demanded. They were "imprisoned", as Mizerl wrote in their letter. She doesn't just mean it figuratively, she was really imprisoned in her room and had to wait until Wilhelm "came over" to ask him for an address. One wonders why was she locked up? - Always at full moon, grandfather Wilhelm Brennecke, when he already lived in Znojmo, went to the nearby restaurant "Miksch" and came home with a frenzy. Did he want to forget something? Wash away? Why didn't he want Max? Why did he manage to evade his son for life? He didn't love him. Max was paid out with a share in the house inheritance. 16 In 1942 the last installment of the mortgage was repaid. What irony. In 1945 the house belonged to the Czech state. In addition to the private plight, there were political ones === FAMILY DOCUMENTS === D 001 Archive Hanover, Births 1730, Berkum, Page 17, No 3, Berend Brennecke was born April 6th D 002 Archive Hanover, Deaths, 1756, Berkum, Page 68, No 1 and 3,Hans Brennecke died Jan. 14th - Heinrich Brennecke died July 9th D 003 Archive Hanover, Births 1816 Schmedenstedt Page 49, No. 4, Julius Wilhelm Brennecke was born March 1st, 1816 D 004 Archive Hanover, Births 1845 Schmedenstedt Page 46, No. 17, Jürgen Christian Wilhelm Brennecke was born August 5th,1845 D 005 Archive Hanover, Deaths, 1853 Schmedenstedt Page 5, No. 24, Johann Friedrich Wilhelm Brennecke was born December 5th, 1853 D 006 Copy from 1938 Birth Certificate Julius Wilhelm Brennecke 1816 D 007 Copy from 1938 Birth Certificate Johanna Dorothea Schridde 1817 D 008 Copy from 1938 Wedding Certificate Julius Wilhelm Brennecke and Johanna Dorothea Schridde 1840 D 009 Copy from 1938 Birth Certificate Jürgen Christian Wilhelm Brennecke 1845 D 010 Death Certificate Theresia Wuck D 011 Death Certificate Florian Wuck D 012 Death Certificate Antonie Duschberger D 013 Birth Certificate Theresia Duschberger {{Image|file=Brennecke_Name_Study-14.jpg |align=l |size=s |caption=D 001}} {{Image|file=Brennecke_Name_Study-15.jpg |align=l |size=s |caption=D 002}} {{Image|file=Brennecke_Name_Study-16.jpg |align=l |size=s |caption=D 003}} {{Image|file=Brennecke_Name_Study-17.jpg |align=l |size=s |caption=D 004}} {{Image|file=Brennecke_Name_Study-18.jpg |align=l |size=s |caption=D 005}} {{Image|file=Brennecke_Name_Study-19.jpg |align=l |size=s |caption=D 006}} {{Image|file=Brennecke_Name_Study-20.jpg |align=l |size=s |caption=D 007}} {{Image|file=Brennecke_Name_Study-21.jpg |align=l |size=s |caption=D 008}} {{Image|file=Brennecke_Name_Study-22.jpg |align=l |size=s |caption=D 009}} {{Image|file=Brennecke_Name_Study-23.jpg |align=l |size=s |caption=D 010}} {{Image|file=Brennecke_Name_Study-24.jpg |align=l |size=s |caption=D 011}} {{Image|file=Brennecke_Name_Study-25.jpg |align=l |size=s |caption=D 012}} {{Image|file=Brennecke_Name_Study-26.jpg |align=l |size=s |caption=D 013}}

[[Category:One Name Studies Project, New Projects]] [[Category: Brickett Name Study]] [[Category:One Name Studies]] [[Category:DNA Projects]] ==About the Project== The Brickett Name Study project serves as a collaborative platform to collect information on the [https://www.wikitree.com/genealogy/Brickett Brickett] name. The hope is that other researchers like you will [[#How to Join|join the study]] to help make it a valuable reference point for other genealogists who are researching or have an interest in the Brickett name. As a One Name Study, this project is not limited to persons who are related biologically. Individual [[#Research_Pages|studies]] can be used to branch out the research into specific methods and areas of interest, such as geographically (England Brickett's), by time period (18th Century Brickett's), or by topic (Brickett DNA, Brickett Occupations, Brickett Statistics). These studies may also include a number of family branches which have no immediate link with each other. Some researchers may even be motivated to go beyond the profile identification and research stage to compile fully sourced, single-family histories of some of the families they discover through this name study project. ''Also see the [[#Related Surnames and Surname Variants|related surnames and surname variants]].'' Dr Penelope Christensen was the originator of the Brickett One-Name Study registered with the Guild of One Name Studies in 1988. This study grew out of an interest her great grandmother Harriet Ann Brickett’s family. Her family originated in SW Bedfordshire in the 16th century, migrated into Hertfordshire then across London to Surrey and Essex, with branches emigrating to South Africa, New Zealand and Australia. The aim is to collect data on everyone recorded with this fairly rare surname and assemble them into pedigrees on AQ (Ancestral Quest) as far as possible. These are being added to FamilySearch online with sources in the Notes so they are widely available. A sideline is a small collection of pedigreed horses, dogs, goats, ships, businesses, places and fictional characters named Brickett. Caveat: The following remarks are based on information gathered so far, and reflect the availability of original, transcribed and indexed records. Variant names There are two variant spellings, BRICKET and BRICKETTS, as well as the early forms BRYCKET(T)(S) and BRIQUET, and some variants without the C, the BRIKETT(T)(S). The spelling has largely settled (about 95%) as BRICKETT in the 19th-20th centuries. A major problem with this study is the frequency of deviant spellings caused by illiteracy and poor hearing. These include Bickett, Blacket, Blackett, Brakett, Brichot, Briggett, Brocket, Brockett, Brockitt, Prickett, Rickett (my great grandmother couldn’t read and her name is so written on her son’s birth certificate). Even greater problems occur with mis-transcription: Vowels are changed resulting in Birkett, Birkitt, Brackett, Breckett, Breeket, Brikitt, Brickot, Buckett etc. K may be read as H giving Brichett. T may not be crossed, resulting in Brickell (a West Country name) and Brickelt. large numbers of post-1837 Brickett parish register entries are not matched by civil registration entries and vice-versa. A survey of the eight decennial census transcriptions on FindMyPast found that from 7% (1841) to 69% (1861) of those transcribed as Brickett were not such on the original. Conversely, it is a major job to search for the real Bricketts under all possible deviant and mis-spellings: the most common culprits seem to be Birkett, Brickell, Buckett, Prickett and Rickett. Name origin The standard sources (Guppy 1890, Bardsley 1901, Reaney 1976) see Brickett as a metathesized version of Birkett, which indicates ‘someone living near birch trees’ (birk in Scottish); or possibly ‘son of Burchard’. The conflation of Brickett with Birkett ignores the fact that Birkett originated and is still most common in northern England whilst Brickett is a southern name. Brikett occurs in the north of England and the midlands, probably as a metathesized deviant of Birkett: note both are without the C. Some early English Bricketts include John BRYKHEDE in Close Rolls 1443/4, Robert BRICKETT of Thornfield, Herts’ legacy in 1517, Adam BRYKET of Windermere, Westmorland will 1522, Thomas BRYCHETT of Rye, Sussex will 1523, Henry BRIKKET or BYRKETT Suffolk Subsidy Rolls 1524, William BRICKETT christened at St Botolph, Colchester, Essex 1528, Robert BRYKKETT of St Sepulchre, London & Emelton, Cumbs will 1537, Elisaunder BRICKET married at St Peter Cornhill, London 1539, Mylis BRICKET married at St Stephen Coleman Street, London 1539 and Arthur BRIKET of Woking, Surrey held copyhold cottage 1540. There were several concentrations of Bricketts in England when parish registers commenced in 1538. This could suggest multiple origins for the surname. Amongst early Bricketts in SE England a number of Flemish/Dutch/French given names have been noted, suggesting that the name may be derived from the Low Countries or France. These non-English given names include Evance in 1579, Hercules in 1591 and 1659, Jerbona in 1575, Josan in 1611, Josian in 1588, Josinke in 1599, Mees in 1592, Verten in 1714 and Vidna in 1593. In French Briquet means a tinder box as well as an infantry short sword. It also forms the root for words associated with brickmaking such as briquette, a little brick made of compacted coal dust. The term bricket was also used in English for gold and silver blocks. Makers or sellers of these products could have acquired this surname, however it is not known whether these terms were current in the 15th century by which time surnames were established. There is also a place called La Briquette situated in Valenciennes Nord, Pas de Calais close to the current Belgian border. Pas De Calais is the closest Department to Dover in Kent. It may be significant that La Briquette is not far east of Douai, the location of the college for training Catholic priests for England founded in 1568. There are certainly French surnames Briquett, Bricquet and De Brecquet and French names came to southern England in three waves: Walloons (French speaking people from Low Countries) about 1500 e.g. Sandwich, Kent and some East Anglian towns were 25% Walloon in 1575. Huguenots (Protestant refugees from France) 1680-1700. French Revolution 1789. Aristocrats with their servants and tradesmen. The kings of France lived in Marylebone from 1793-1815. Weavers settled in Clerkenwell & Spitalfields & many trades settled in West End. The place in Hertfordshire called Bricket Wood derives its name from two old English words meaning bright and an islet (a little piece of marshland). Older spellings of this place name (with dates) are Bruteyt (1228), Broteghte (1314), Brutethte (1342), Brygteyght (1436) and Briteygtwod (1505). Probably coincidentally the Romans used the wet boulder clay here for making bricks and tiles, and the word brick derives from the French brique (broken piece) and Teutonic brek (break). And ...... there has been a Brickett family in the area since the 16th century at least. Are these facts all red herrings ? Other possibilities include derivation from later foreign imports such as Bricketts born in Germany (1851 census) and Brickits born in Hungary (1871 census). Historical occurrences of the name Thomas Brickett was mayor of Salisbury, Wiltshire in 1519 and founded a ‘Hospital (almshouse) for Six Poor Widows’ there. It was rebuilt in 1780 and is still in service. John Brykket or Breket was ‘master cook for the king’s mouth’ for Henry VIII in 1536-1541. The Brickett family in West Wickham, Kent were largely killed by the plague in 1609-1610. Samuel & Caroline Brickett of Derby were convicted at Newgate in 1881 of stealing 329 pairs of boots ! In 1789 seaman Thomas Brickett/Burket/Burkitt became infamous as a prominent member of Fletcher Christian’s gang who mutinied on Captain Bligh’s ship Bounty. He was court martialled and hung at Spithead in 1792. Nathaniel Brickett (c.1648-after 1711) emigrated to USA from England settling in Newbury, Massachusetts. It is likely that he emanated from Bedfordshire as the only other early Nathaniels are there. His descendants are very numerous across the USA and were described in the Essex Antiquarian (Massachusetts) in 1907-1908. They included Lt. Nathaniel Brickett (1731-1805), Dr. James Brickett (1738-1818) brigadier general of the forces sent to Canada in 1776, Col. Moses Brickett (1742-1813), Dr. Daniel Brickett (1761-1835), Dr. John Brickett (1774-after 1808) and Edward Montgomery Brickett (1898-1961) a mechanical engineer and authority on concrete and concrete design having published a number of papers. Several other Bricketts emigrated in the 19th century to North America and Australia where their descendants now live. Walter Septimus Brickett (1865-1933), by trade a pianoforte maker, was the British Olympic Swimming Coach for the 1908 and 1912 Olympic Games he held a world record for the sexathlon: 1 mile each of walking, running, hurdling, cycling (3 miles), rowing and swimming all in under 1 hour. His son, Walter Sidney Brickett (1889-1945) was also a noted swimmer, he trained the British Women’s National Swimming Team in 1936 and 1937. His son, Peter Sidney Brickett (1919-1990) kept up the family swimming tradition and was awarded a Royal Humane Society Award for bravery in saving three lives at Clacton, Essex in 1939. His son David John Brickett b.1950 captained the Eastern Province cricket team, Port Elizabeth, South Africa George Brickett (1868-1904) became a professional cricketer in Surrey after 12 years army service including in Egypt and the Sudan. Patrick Walter Brickett (1921-1989) was awarded a Member of British Empire MBE And we mustn’t forget that the Daily Telegraph of 1903 called attention to the Rover Company's new eccentric Brickett chain adjustment ! Name frequency The number of Bricketts is difficult to assess because of the frequency of mis-transcription. Dr P. found only 101 Bricket(t)(s) in the 1881 census and there were 338 births registered 1837-2005 (with only 5% not spelled Brickett). Only 11 researchers contacted her in 25 years. Excluding the North American families, there are 3,250 individuals on my PAF database, many of which are probably duplicates. Distribution of the name I have concentrated my research on the English families, but Bricketts are found in North America, Australasia and South Africa and probably elsewhere. The parish registers have concentrations of Bricketts in towns in several southern English counties. ==How to Join== To join the Brickett Name Study, first start out by browsing our current [[#Research_Pages|research pages]] to see if there is a specific study ongoing that fits your interests.

Even without officially joining, you can add any of your Broadwell profiles to the project by putting this template into the bio section: {{One Name Study|name=Broadwell}} == Goals == This is a One Name Study to collect together in one place everything about the Broadwell surname and the related variants of that name. The spelling has been surprisingly consistent since the 1600's, but rarely Broadwill, Brodwell, even Brawdwell have been seen, other variants may exist. The hope is that other researchers like you will join our study to help make it a valuable reference point for people studying lines that cross or intersect. == Family Overview == The Broadwells come from the Tewkesbury area, in Gloucestershire, England. [[Broadwell-5|William Broadwell]] who died in 1689 is the first Broadwell known to be in the American colonies, first mentioned in 1677 in New Jersey (apparently moved there from Connecticut). Two daughters of [[Broadwell-74|Richard Broadwell]], a Quaker, also crossed the ocean, recorded in Philadelphia County of Pennsylvania by 1685. No sons are known to be in Philadelphia so the Broadwell name was not preserved in Pennsylvania. The Broadwell family in New Jersey helped settle Elizabethtown (now Elizabeth, basically a suburb of New York city). They married into the Lindsley family, who had helped settle Newark, New Jersey. Of William's descendants, one group went north into New York state, another group went to Ohio (before it was a state) and then Illinois (right at the beginning of statehood). By now there is likely a Broadwell or Broadwell descendant in all 50 states. == Brushes with History == There are several Revolutionary War veterans (good claims, but not yet verified), as well as a father-in-law ([[Lindsley-12|Major Joseph Lindsley]]) who may have met with George Washington; later [[Broadwell-163|Norman Broadwell]] argued a case against Abraham Lincoln; two Broadwell houses near Cincinnati are in the historic registry, [[Broadwell-175|Moses Broadwell]] built one of the oldest surviving brick structures in Illinois. The grandson of Moses laid out a town called Broadwell in Illinois, on historic Route 66. An even smaller town of Broadwell exists in Athens county, Ohio. On the infamy side, [[Broadwell-219|Dick Broadwell]] was a member of the Dalton Gang in Kansas, and [http://www.kshs.org/km/items/view/723 killed] in October 1892, while attempting to flee a bank robbery. Three other members of the gang died immediately, Dick was able to get out of town on horseback, but succumbed a short distance away. Samuel Morse (of telegraph and Morse code fame) is a distant cousin, thru William I's wife [[Morse-1071|Mary Morse]]. A Broadwell descendant, [[Parsons-4975|William H. Parsons]] was a Colonel and possibly Major General in the Civil War for Texas, briefly a state senator before being appointed by Ulysses S. Grant to a post in the federal government. His half-brother [[Parsons-3889|Albert Parsons]] was apparently not a Broadwell descendant, but deserves perhaps an honorary shout-out - he served in the Confederate Army, then apparently had a change of heart. He helped former slaves register to vote, and got threatened and beaten for his efforts. Albert then moved to Chicago and was involved in labor unions and speaking at rallies. Although not present at the Haymarket Riot, he was convicted of inciting the crowd and was hanged. == Task List == In no particular order: * Was [[Broadwell-6|Edward Broadwell]] really the father of [[Broadwell-5|William Broadwell]]? Can we go farther back? * Who really was/were the wife/wives of [[Broadwell-64|William Broadwell III]]? * Getting actual records from the National Archives or other proof of American Revolution ancestors, including: [[Broadwell-175|Moses]], [[Broadwell-65|William IV]], [[Broadwell-174|Samuel]], [[Broadwell-172|Simeon]], and [[Broadwell-176|Jacob]] * Also tracing the Lindsley/Lindly/Linsey line as the two families intersect several times while in northern New Jersey. * We're missing Broadwells who migrated to NY.

Welcome to the Brookshaw Name Study!

This is a One Name Study to collect together in one place everything about one surname and the variants of that name. The hope is that other researchers like you will join our study to help make it a valuable reference point for people studying lines that cross or intersect. Please contact the project leader, add categories to your profiles, add your questions to the bulletin board, add details of your name research, etc. Please join by contacting the project leader, [[Brookshaw-19|Greta Brookshaw]]. See the sections on our goals and what you can do below. Post questions and comments to and add details about your particular area of interest. *[https://www.wikitree.com/index.php?title=Special:Surname&s=BROOKSHAW&cln=0&order=name&u= Brookshaw Index] on WikiTree === Our Goals === The purpose of this study is to gather all information about the Brookshaw name and its origin in order to find out if all those with the surname share common ancestry. === What You Can Do === #Add the ''Brookshaw'' tag to the list of tags you are following. #Work cooperatively together with other Brookshaw profile managers to create the best Brookshaw tree possible. #Add the One Name Studies template and category for Brookshaw Name Study to any Brookshaw profiles you manage. #Search out original rather than derivative documentation and add sources to Brookshaw profiles. #Write comprehensive, well-sourced biographies. #Check for duplicates and request merges. #Contact [[Andrus-373|Alison]] to request PPP status for those profiles that meet the criteria for project protection. This will protect them from an incorrect merge. #If you are a male with the Brookshaw surname and haven't already, please consider testing your yDNA so that we can all have a better understanding of our heritage and possibly make new discoveries. === Origins === Recorded as Brookshaw and Bruckshaw in England, it is believed to be an English 'lost' village locational surname and to have originated from a place in the county of Cheshire, which according to the famous Victorian etymologist Canon Charles Bardlsey, writing in the year 1880, had completely disappeared. The name originates from the pre 7th century Olde English words 'brok-sceag', meaning a wood by a brook. A brook was not necessarily a stream, it could mean any stretch of water, or even a marsh. 'Lost' villages are a feature of the British Isles. It is estimated that at least three thousand modern surnames do originate from such places of which the only reminder of their existence lies in the surviving surname. Locational surnames are also 'from' names. That is to say names that were given to people after they left their original homes to move somewhere else, the easiest way to identy such strangers being to call them by the name of the place from whence they came.

https://www.familytreedna.com/public/BrownDNAStudy/default.aspx?section=yresults The project has 1,905 members as of July 26, 2019. Test results can be viewed by relationship group or by geographic origin, although not all the detailed schedules are up to date (and they depend on information reported by testees, in some cases incomplete or nonexistent). Several of the identified ancestors can be traced to WikiTree profiles. There also appear to be over 1,500 Brown profiles on WikiTree with Y-DNA results attached. See [https://www.wikitree.com/g2g/877890/is-there-any-way-to-search-wikitree-by-ftdna-kit-no?show=877892#a877892 G2G discussion of searching WikiTree for Y-DNA test results]. These profiles are linked to 52 different testees as of late July 2019; about 14 are not (visibly) attached to relatives, others have many, including one individual linked to over 500 relatives. Most, but not all, of the testees have the surname Brown. == Yorkshire, England Browns == This study is to try to break through a brick wall in tracing the ancestry of the Benjamin George Brown family, who emigrated to Sydney Mines, Nova Scotia from Yorkshire, England. Thus far, I cannot differentiate or find anything substantial pointing to which family in Yorkshire is [[Brown-8212|my]] Browns. ==== Leads/Research Progress ==== * I found an article several years ago from a Canadian newspaper online that I can no longer find. That article was written about or by Anna Marie Stevens Brown. It referenced John's father, who was referred to as George, and said his full name was Benjamin George Brown, Jr, and his parents, Benjamin G. and Mary Brown. From there I was able to find a marriage record for George and Anna in Yorkshire, England. It lists Anna's father as William Stevens, a Scotsman and maritime pilot. That's where I've stopped. * [[Brown-8212|Abby Glann]] has had autosomal tests done that may help. ==== Tasks ==== * Have Y-Dna test done by [[Brown-8244|Allen Brown]] as well as any other direct male descendents I can reach; possibly [[Brown-8212|Abby's]] cousin Ben? His dad, Terry? Brother Bob if he's ever in town? Bus's son? I know there should be plenty from John's son's lines. * Start tracking and profiling all Browns in the St. Mary Parish, Lambeth, Surrey, England from that time period to see if we can sort out who is who and start working backwards as well as start finding grandmothers' surnames. This is where George and Ann were married. * Start tracking and profiling Browns born in Yorkshire around 1822 to sort out families. ==Nottingham, Pennsylvania Browns== This group is a subset of what might be called the Poddington Browns of England. Two brothers, Quakers James and William Brown, settled in Pennsylvania around 1680 and moved to Nottingham around 1700.

[[category: Bruni_Name_Study ]]

=== Last name: Bruni === Recorded in many spellings from Brown, Broune, and De Bruyn, to Brauner, Bruni and Brunet, this ancient and prolific surname derives, from a pre 7th century Germanic and Anglo-Saxon word "brun" or the Olde Norse personal name "Bruni". Originally this name would probably have been a nationlistic or tribal nickname for a person with a brown complexion or hair, although it may also have referred to someone who habitually wore brown clothing, such as a monk or cleric. The baptismal name as Brun or the latinized Brunus, was a popular name in the period upto the introduction of surnames in the 12th century, see below. Irish name holders derive from 12th century Norman sources. In the west the Browne's are the descendants of a knight called " Hugo le Brun", amd form one of the ancient "Tribes of Galway", as recorded in the "Annals of the nine kings". The Browne's of Killarney form a separate branch and are descended from a later Elizabethan settler. Amongst the early surname recordings are those of Hugh Bron of Stafford, England, in the year 1274, and Hugo Brun of Erfurt, Germany, in 1407. Christopher Browne is recorded as being one of the very first settlers in the new American colonies. In the very first listing of the colonists of New England he is shown to be "living in Virginea, on February 16th 1623".The first recorded spelling of the family name anywhere in the world is probably that of William le Brun, which was dated 1169, in the Pipe Rolls of the county of Northumberland, England. This was during the reign of King Henry 11, known as "The church builder", 1154 - 1189. © Copyright: Name Origin Research www.surnamedb.com 1980 - 2015 Read more: http://www.surnamedb.com/Surname/Bruni#ixzz3hthy1hzS == Sources ==

As well as the listed (early )variants of Brushe and Brusshe there are also entries from the 18th and 19th century adopting the form Brusch and Brusche. The English Bruch family ( but probably not the German Bruch families) may be connected but if so this goes back to at least the 16th century and probably earlier. But there are occasional instances where the name is confused. This also happens sometimes with Brish, Brash and even Bush. A link to Bruce or Brus has sometimes been suggested but I have seen nothing to confirm this and fear it is no more than speculation. No one knows, and it seems probable that no one will now ever know, when or where the name BRUSH first appeared as a surname. The very earliest reference, to BRUSCH, appears in the 14th century but no useful record exists until much later. In general terms, the modern form of single word surname as we now know it appears in England around 1400. English Parish registers, the basic raw material of the English genealogist, begin for the most part only in the mid 16th Century . In some parishes records may voluntarily have been maintained earlier but the earliest date encountered is likely to be 1538 when they were first legally required though for many the surviving record does not begin until later. This was the century of the Tudors; Henry VIII was on the throne from 1509 to 1547 and Elizabeth I from 1558 to 1603. England had emerged from the medieval period but was still an agricultural country in a pre-industrial age. It will never be possible for the great mass of the population of England, below the aristocracy, to produce any sort of comprehensive genealogical history before the start of these essential records. The BRUSH family, or families, form a part of this great mass. There is no indication of any grand aristocratic or royal connection in this history . The raw source material for a comprehensive genealogical record just does not exist even though there are various earlier records of other kinds often associated with legal affairs of one kind or another. During the 15th and 16th century the BRUSH name is scattered along a 300 mile crescent running from Cornwall in the South West to the east coast of Suffolk. Although this is a long line, we do not have a random scattering of the name across the country as a whole; just localised pockets. The earliest fully documented reference to the BRUSH family is to the will of “John BRUSCH or BRUSSH” of Gippco proved 1438 in the Norfolk Record Office. “Gippco” was Ipswich in Suffolk, which is right at the eastern end of the crescent on the Suffolk coast. In A dictionary of English surnames by Reaney & Wilson, 1991, a reference is made to “Alice Brusch, 1327” but I do not know the source for this reference. If it is identifiable it would be the earliest known reference by more than a century. The early BRUSH groups present the tantalising prospect of a single point of origin –one single family somewhere back before the 15th century. But this is idle conjecture and, I increasingly suspect, may be a false prospect. There are also two very early references well away from the southern crescent. Willelmus BRUSSHE, tyler was admitted as a freeman of the City of York in 1444 . These records also contain a reference to a “Thomas BRACHE, yoman”. This is well outside the geographic band I have just described and there is a century and a half before the next reference in Yorkshire. One, possibly two, isolated references will not for the moment overturn the general theory that BRUSH roots lie in the South Midlands of England. It seems entirely plausible that a building craftsman from elsewhere in England should have ended up in a major medieval city such as York. About ten years later in ‘33 Hen VI’ (1 September 1454 -31 August 1455) there is a reference to Walter BRUSSH of Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, which may prove to be one of the most significant as a possible root for the substantial Gloucestereshire group of families.. “Walter Brussh of Cheltenham to Pershore Abbey (William Newnton, abbot): Two messuages and land in Pershore (appointment of attorney to deliver seisin): (Worcs.)” The Pershore location reappears nearly two centuries later when the deceased father of John Brush, freeman of Tewkesbury in 1631, is identified as having been ‘of Pershore’. Although there are earlier individual references to the name of BRUSH, the earliest identifiable and substantial family grouping is in Gloucestershire. It is from Gloucestershire that my own family descends, though there is some doubt from exactly where. The second main early grouping of the BRUSH name in England is in Cornwall. If there is a link between the BRUSH family of Cornwall and the BRUSH family (or families) of Gloucestershire it is lost in the mists of time prior to 1550 and I regret to say there seems no prospect of establishing a link – subject only to the possibilities which DNA testing may open up. Other BRUSH households within the 16th century, i.e. Tudor England, appear in Suffolk, Berkshire, Oxfordshire and London. There was also a significant BRUSH family group in Ireland, which falls within our title of “.of the British Isles”. It appears that this was part of the English colonisation of Ireland in the 16th and 17th centuries and that the Irish families were descendants of a single individual, John, who had moved there from England or from Holland . In time some of his descendants would move back to England and on to more far flung colonies. There seem to be at least three separate lines in the US. Two from Thomas and Richard of Long Island in the 1650s ( who may be father and son but may be less closely related ) and a third from immigrants further south in Virginia. Despite several attempts there is no convincing theory ( that I know of) about which of the English Brush families any of these stem from. The principal secondary resource for the US lines is the two volume work ( plus supplements) produced by Stuart Brush of Connecticut. David Brush (Brush-615) == Task List ==

They seem to have the Haplogroups I-M253, J-M172 and R1a (R-M198 and R-M269) These groups are again subdivided into more groups. Each group probably stems from the same ancestor. For this One Name Study I think it would be interesting to see if we can identify each branch by it's haplogroup. So if you have taken a Y-DNA test, please add it to your profile. WikiTree will automatically mark all your direct male ancestor with your haplogroup. ''Also see the [[#Related Surnames and Surname Variants|related surnames and surname variants]].'' == Goals == This is a One Name Study to collect together in one place everything about the surname Buck and its variants.

There are, of course, more possibilities so if you are working on a specific branch, then please feel free to ask. Right now it is most useful just to keep it at one big group. == Membership == * [[Thorisdottir-4|Dagmar Thorisdottir]] - I am a direct descendant of the Danish Buch branch. My fathers Y-DNA test has confirmed the Icelandic branch back to Norway. With a testee from Denmark, we could possibly confirm the line back to about 1400. A lot of work has been done on that branch, and I would like to add that work to WikiTree. A big thank you to the teem behind [http://www.buch-puslespillet.dk/ BUCH-puslespillet]. There is a lot of work still to be done and it would be nice to work with a team on that. ** In 2023 I took over as administrator for the Buck Surname Project on FamilyTree DNA. This gives us the unik opportunity to work parallel with Y-DNA and traditional genealogy. Please take a Y-DNA test, join the Surname Project and add your test to WikiTree. *[[Buch-358|Tommy Buch]] - I am a direct descendant of [[Buch-363|Elias Buch]] (GGF) born in Manheim Township, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania in 1845. I am hoping to take the Y-DNA test with Family Tree DNA soon. I am currently working to sort out the Buch lines in Pennsylvania. *[[Jenks-454|Jean Jenks Adams]] - My grandmother was a Buck. Her grandfather, [[Buck-1719|Charles Henry Buck]] was b. abt 1827 in Delaware. He was in Pennsylvania prior to his 1851 marriage to [[McClain-661|Mary A. McLean]], but has not been found in the 1850 census. His mother's name was Ann, also of Delaware. He served in the Civil War. They lived in Bucks County, PA after their marriage. Charles died in 1885. This is my brick wall and would like to find more information about this family. *[[Buck-3950|Geoff Buck]] - I have experiece researching the Bucks of Maine, USA. My earliest known Buck ancestor is [[Buck-4443|George Buck (abt. 1840-1864)]], a mysterious guy with some kind of connection to the Buckfield branch. My latest harebrained theory is that he was adopted by some Bucks in Corinth and started life as an Ulmer!

[[Category:Buckingham Name Study]] [[Category:One Name Studies]] [[Category:DNA Projects]] "This name is of English locational origin from the town of that name in Buckinghamshire. The name derives from the Olde English pre 7th Century 'hamm' meaning 'a water meadow' or 'piece of low lying enclosed land', plus 'ing', 'people of' and the personal name Bucca, hence, 'the hamm of Bucca's people'. The place name is first recorded as Buccingahamm in the 'Anglo-Saxon Chronicles' dated 918 and as Bochingheham in the Domesday Book of 1086."

I invite all Buescher men to join if they have tested their Y-DNA, or to test if they have not yet tested. As an additional goal, I am also hoping to find Hanebaum/Hannebaum and Wilkemeyer men to join, as I have recently learned that many Buescher descendants are genetically in those patrilineal lines, due to the adoption of the Büscher/Buescher surname by their German ancestor for various reasons. Membership is absolutely free to all FTDNA Y-DNA testers with the Buescher, Hannebaum/Hannebaum, and Wilkemeyer surname (or if you believe your German ancestor adopted the Büscher/Buescher surname). To access the group and join, go to this address and click the "Join" button. My contact information is there if you have any questions.

[[Category:One Name Studies]] [[Category:Burkhart Name Study]] __NOTOC__ {{One Name Study|name=Burkhart}} ==About the Project== The Burkhart Name Study project serves as a collaborative platform to collect information on the [https://www.wikitree.com/genealogy/Burkhart Burkhart] and [https://www.wikitree.com/genealogy/Burkett Burkett] names, including other variations. The hope is that other researchers like you will [[#How to Join|join the study]] to help make it a valuable reference point for other genealogists who are researching or have an interest in the Burkhart/Burkett name. As a One Name Study, this project is not limited to persons who are related biologically. Individual [[#Research_Pages|studies]] can be used to branch out the research into specific methods and areas of interest, such as geographically (England Burkhart's, Burketts of Greene County, Tennessee), by time period (18th Century Burkhart's), or by topic (Burkhart DNA, Burkhart Occupations, Burkhart Statistics). These studies may also include a number of family branches which have no immediate link with each other. Some researchers may even be motivated to go beyond the profile identification and research stage to compile fully sourced, single-family histories of some of the families they discover through this name study project. ''Also see the [[#Related Surnames and Surname Variants|related surnames and surname variants]].'' ==How to Join== To join the Burkhart/Burkett Name Study, first start out by browsing our current [[#Research_Pages|research pages]] to see if there is a specific study ongoing that fits your interests.

An illegimate Burman from South Cave, Yorkshire was transported to Tasmania, Australia and subsequently pardoned. Burman ancestors in Australia seem to have emigrated from England, The Netherlands or Sweden. Please let us know if your ancestor emigrated to Australia from another country. '''England and Wales:''' '''Brixham and Swansea Burmans:''' [[Burnman-5|Ralph Burnman]] is the earliest proven ancestor of the 'Brixham' Burmans. However earlier ancestors were Dutch. It is not clear if Ralph was Dutch, but to date no parish records detail his birth. Ralph, or possibly his father, where part of the Dutch army who arrived in England with William of Orange in 1688. William of Orange landed with his army on 5th November 1688 in Brixham, Devon. Many members of the army, including Burman, remained in the area and became fishermen. [[Burman-263|William Bird Burman]] born in Brixham, Devon moved to Swansea, Glamorgan, Wales. If you have Swansea ancestors then you are probably connected to this line. Unfortunately, many ancestors within this line are '''not''' true Burmans as they descend from [[Burman-264|William Burman]] who was the illegitimate child of [[Burnman-3|Anne Burnman]]. '''Warwickshire and Worcestershire Burmans:''' Burman ancestors from Warwickshire are being added. This commenced January 2020. There are many Burmans within this line to be added. There is a good website available regarding the Burman's of Tanworth (www.firstinsullburman.co.uk) complied by Ken Burman. Ken Burman is the expert in this Burman line and his email can be located on this website. The following books are also of historical interest. #'''The Burman Chronicle - The Story of a Warwickshire Family''' by [[Burman-835|John Burman]]. #'''The Warwickshire family of Burman : a monograph''' by [[Burman-2829|Richard Hugh Burman]] #'''The Burman Family of Warwickshire''' by [[Burman-2854|Sir John Bedford Burman]] '''Oxfordshire Burmans''' - to be investigated in due course. '''Lincolnshire Burmans''' - to be investigated in due course. '''Russia (Russian Empire to 1922)''' There are many Burman/Berman ancestors who emigrated from this region to Europe and a vast number to the United States. So far, the majority of these immigrants where Jewish. '''Sweden''' Dealing with ancestors from Sweden is a complex process. Please ensure that the last name at birth is actually Burman due to the Swedish patronymic system. Patronymics (from the Greek pater, meaning "father," and onoma, for "name") is the process of designating a surname based upon the given name of the father, thus consistently changing the family surname from one generation to the next. In Sweden, -son or -dotter was usually added to the father's given name for gender distinction. There are many Swedish profiles on wiki tree which have been assigned with with surname Burman, but in reality are not actually the correct surname. Due to the complexity of this system it is not my intention try and unravel past mistakes and therefore any earlier profiles I have adopted from Sweden will be unadopted. If anyone wished to take this task on please let me know. '''The Netherlands''' '''United States''' Ancestors in the United States seem to have emigrated from England, Wales, Sweden, The Netherlands or Russia and variations of the surname exist. The surname does not appear to have its 'roots' from here. Please let us know about your ancestors. Are they native Americans? Which country did they emigrate from? ==Burman Name Meaning== English: status name, from Middle English burghman, borughman (Old English burhmann) ‘inhabitant of a (fortified) town’ (see Burke), especially one holding land or buildings by burgage (see Burgess).

[[Category:Burrow Name Study]] [[Category:One Name Studies]] [[Category:DNA Projects]] This covers all mentions of the surnames BURROW and BURROUGH from the counties of Devon and Cornwall in England. I intend to put up Lists of Names from Various OPRs, Indexes, Census records, and Directories. IF you have an ancestor or a relative with the surname (LNAB) of BURROW or BURROUGH and they were born in Devon or Cornwall, then feel free to add the template, or the category link which can both be found on the Category Page link above. Please note, I will not be doing any family where the surname is spelt Burrows - although some families who were Burrow/Burrough in Devon/Cornwall, were mispelled as Burrows or other variations in the public records. BURROWS and BURROUGHS with the S on the end, are far more common in northern England, especially in Lancashire. ''Burrough is an East Devon name in 1881 and Burrow seems to have two origins: one in Devon, the other in Cumbria. Forms with a final s are much less common in Devon than further north and east in England. Source - GENUKI Devon surnames'' There are some places in Devon and Cornwall that have a high number of families with the Burrow or Burrough Surnames. Two such places in East Devon are Ottery St Mary and Morchard Bishop. In Cornwall, the Burrow name is quite common around Morwenstow. There are several other small clusters of the Burrow name elsewhere such as in Exeter, and various other places in East Devon. Just for the record, my own Burrow ancestors came from Ottery St Mary (or OSM for short), although they did tend to travel and move to other parts of the county, and later the country. Also for the record, I saved a lot of lists and records pertaining to the Burrow name during the years of 2005 to 2007 while I was a member of the genealogy site - British Origins. That site is now part of Find My Past, (or FMP for short) and these records can probably be found at FMP. But I am currently not a paid up member of FMP.

Butler is an aristocratic surname of Norman-French origins. It is one of the very few surnames to be recognized as being pre-1066 in origin and recording in England, and more rarely in France. It is in an occupational name derived from Olde French: 'bouteillier'. It's meaning is "one who supplies the bottles," (of wine). The surname, "Bouteillier," defines the status of an individual in a royal or noble, household. The Bouteillier or Butler surname's meaning, "Master of the Pantry." The original "Butlers" were much more than servants, as borne by the example of [[FitzWalter-137|Theodore Fitzwalter]], who accompanied [[Plantagenet-1627|King Henry II]] on his conquest of Ireland in 1171. He was not only appointed "Chief Butler of Ireland," but he subsequently adopted "Butler" as his surname. In England and Ireland, no less than ninety four Coats of Arms have been granted to Boteler and Butler, the first belonging to Robert de Pincerna, butler to Randolf, Earl of Chester, in 1158, and the first of the Butlers of Cheshire. The Butler's were also amongst the first into the new American Colonies, Francis Butler, aged 18, is recorded as a settler at 'Elizabeth Cittie, Virginea' in January 1624. He arrived on the ship 'Bonaventure' and was a member of the governors guard. The first recorded spelling of the family name is that of Hugo Buteiller, dated 1055. The calendar of preserved ancient documents of France, during the reign of [[Capet-341|King Henry I]] of France, 1031 - 1060. Surnames became necessary when governments introduced personal taxation. In England this was known as Poll Tax. Throughout the centuries, surnames in every country have continued to "develop" often leading to astonishing variants of the original spelling.Source: Name Origin Research www.surnamedb.com 1980 - 2015 The name is like many others from the medieval time period, spelled differently on every document. It's also common in cases of earlier ancestors that the spelling of a name was not standardized and that the person would have used more than one. The Butler name came to Ireland with the Anglo-Norman invasion of the 12th century with the forces of [[Clare-645|Strongbow]]. With the acceptance of a Papal Bull by Pope Adrian IV, their descendants came to be known as the ''Dukes of Ormonde'', taking government control of Ireland on the behalf of England.https://www.houseofnames.com/wiki/Strongbow == The Butler-Rawlings Family Project == Around the 1600s, a few individuals, residing in the villages of Bromham and Corsham, began signing birth, marriage and death records with either ‘Butler alias Rawlings’ or ‘Rawlings alias Butler.’ The living descendants of these individuals have now bare the surnames Butler, Rawlings and Rawlins. In August of 2012, one such descendant, the late Thomas Butler, traced his ancestry to Richard Butler-Rawlings of Corsham, born around 1640. Thomas also took a Y-DNA test, uploading his results to FamilyTreeDNA. 7 years later, in August of 2019, Omar Butler traced his ancestry to a John Butler-Rawlings of Bromham, born around 1580. Having also taken a Y-DNA test, Thomas was identified as a relative of Omar. The matching of Omar and Thomas provided evidence that the Butler-Rawlings family of Bromham was related to the Butler-Rawlings family of Corsham. Relying on such evidence, in September of 2019, Omar Butler, S.D. and S.C., formed the Butler-Rawlings [https://www.wikitree.com/index.php?title=Space:Butler-Rawlings_Family_Project&public=1 family project].

It is found in the modern Irish-language form of Ó Cathaoir (or its plural collective form, Uí Chathaoir), denoting one who is descended from Cathaoir. Cathaoir was an ancient Irish forename and therefore the surname Ó Cathaoir was formed as a patronymic surname, much like Ó Briain (anglicised: O'Brien) is a patronymic name derived from Brian, an Irish forename. Since the seventeenth and eighteenth century following the English conquest of Ireland, the surname Ó Cathaoir has generally been anglicised as Cahir or Caher or other such phonetic variants. The standard works on Irish surnames summarise the history of the Cahir surname as follows: * '''Woulfe''':

CATHAOIR, genitive — id. (the same), Cahir, (Charles); Celt. *Katu-viro-s, Old Irish — Cathfer, Cather, battle-man, warrior; an ancient Irish name, most frequent amongst Leinster families, especially the O'Connors of Offaly, the Mac Coghlans, O'Molloys and O'Byrnes; now always anglicised Charles. In Donegal, Cathair (which see) is a variant. Latin — Cathirius.

Mac CATHAOIR—[https://www.libraryireland.com/names/synopsis-types-surnames.php IV]—M'Cahire, M'Cahir, M'Kahir, Cahir, Carr, Kerr; 'son of Cathaoir' (a common Irish personal name); a rare surname.

Ó CATHAOIR—[https://www.libraryireland.com/names/synopsis-types-surnames.php I]—''O Cahir'', Cahir; 'descendant of Cathaoir' (an ancient Irish personal name); a rare Tipperary surname.Woulfe, Rev Patrick. Sloinnte Gaedheal is Gall: Irish Names and Surnames. Dublin: M. H. Gill & Son, Ltd, 1923. Entries for [https://www.libraryireland.com/names/men/cathaoir-cahir.php Cathaoir], [https://www.libraryireland.com/names/macc/mac-cathaoir.php Mac Cathaoir] and [https://www.libraryireland.com/names/oc/o-cathaoir.php Ó Cathaoir].

* '''MacLysaght''':

'''(O) Cahir''' ''Ó Cathaoir''. (Cahir is an old forename in Ireland) A rare Co. Clare name. Though MacCahir appears very frequently in such sixteenth-century records as the Fiants, these are ephemeral patronymics occurring in the Kavanagh and other great Leinster families. The prefix is O, wherever a man bore this as a hereditary surname, and it rarely (if ever) occurs in Leinster. The statement that in Co. Limerick it is a toponymic, viz. ''de Cathair'', can be discounted.MacLysaght, Edward. The Surnames of Ireland. Blackrock, Co. Dublin: Irish Academic Press, 1985 (Sixth edition). Page 33.

* '''de Bhulbh''':

'''Cahir''': mod.nos.: mainly in Clare. Ir. ''Ó Cathaoir'', from an old personal name thought to pre-date Celtic Ireland. Not connected with ''cathaoir'' meaning chair, which is a borrow-word from Latin ''cathedra''. A popular name amongst the Ulstermen. SI.de Bhulbh, Seán. Sloinnte Uile Éireann: All Ireland Surnames. Faing, Co. Luimnigh: Comhar Chumann Íde Naofa, 2002. Page 175.

A report by MacCotter History and Genealogy Research concluded that the Cahir surname is almost entirely absent from the main sources on Irish clan and surname histories. The 1911 Census of Ireland included just [http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/search/results.jsp?census_year=1911&surname=Cahir&search=Search&pageSize=100 135 Cahirs], of which [http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/search/results.jsp?county19011911=Clare&census_year=1911&surname=Cahir&search=Search&pageSize=100 112 (83%) were enumerated in County Clare]. Thus, the distribution of people bearing the surname Cahir strongly points to an ancestral origin in County Clare, which in former times comprised the main part of the kingdom of Thomond. More specifically, the concentrated distribution of bearers of the name in central Clare, around the town of Corofin and nearby parishes of Kilnaboy, Kilnamona, Dysert and Drumcliff, suggests that the hereditary lands of the family, so far as they might have existed in the late medieval period, lay in these areas. This appears to be evidenced by sporadic references to individual bearers of the surname in the early seventeenth century, all of whom were settled in the central Clare parishes of Kilnaboy and Rath. By the time of the great "census" records of the nineteenth century, such as the Tithe Applotment Books (1820s) people bearing the Cahir surname were clustered primarily in the parishes of Ruan, Kilnaboy, Carran, Kilfenora and Rath.https://www.clarelibrary.ie/eolas/coclare/genealogy/tithe_applot/name_index/index05_CToCarmody.htm A similar distribution is found in the Griffith Valuation of 1851-55,https://www.clarelibrary.ie/eolas/coclare/genealogy/griffiths/griffithc1.htm indicating the overwhelmingly agricultural nature of their residence and the generally static nature of their household distribution in the first part of the nineteenth century, including in the immediate post-famine period. ==Historical references to the Cahir surname== The surname Cahir, or its original Irish form Ó Cathaoir, is largely absent from medieval source material. For example, the family do not feature in the mid-fourteenth century narrative-text ''Triumphs of Torlough''O'Grady, Standish Hayes (ed.). Caithréim Thoirdhealbhaigh: The triumphs of Turlough, 2 vols. London: Irish Texts Society, 1929. nor do they feature in the medieval Irish annals.https://celt.ucc.ie/publishd.html The family first appears in the papal mandates, or ecclesiastical correspondence between the ecclesiastical authorities in Ireland and the papal curia, which were issued prolifically in fifteenth century Ireland. The earliest reference found is under the year 1468, when a member of the family, rendered by a clerical writer as '''Cormac Ykahyr''' (i.e. Cormac Ó Cathaoir) held the position of abbot of Kilshanny Augustinian Abbey and was ousted by a violent intervention by a rival claimant for the abbacy, one "Bernard Oconncubayr" (Bearnard Ó Conchobhair) who was a kinsman of the ruling Uí Chonchobhair (O'Conor) lineage of Corcomroe.McInerney, Luke. Clerical and learned lineages of Medieval Co. Clare: A survey of the fifteenth-century papal registers. Dublin: Four Courts Press, 2014. Page 120. McInerney writes as follows of the struggle for the abbacy of Kilshanny:

Papal mandates record Kilshanny embroiled in conflict, the inevitable result of lay proprietorship by the dynastic Uí Chonchobhair lineage. In 1468, the Uí Chonchobhair intruded a kinsman in Kilshanny abbey and sought to remove the incumbent "Cormac Ykahyr" (Cormac Ó Cathaoir). The papal registers are clear on the detail that the Uí Chonchobhair candidate, Bernard Oconncubayr, had the "support of lay power" and broke open the doors of Kilshanny and, "laying violent hands on Cormac, grievously wounded him and slew one of his servants". This violent affray appears to have put an end to Uí Chathaoir clerics holding the abbacy of Kilshanny. After this, Kilshanny remained if not explicitly, then at least tacitly, under the control of the Uí Chonchobhair.

The background of this struggle for the abbacy of Kilshanny is fully detailed in the Papal Registers. The ruling lineage of Corcomroe, in which Kilshanny Abbey is located, the Uí Chonchobhair (O'Connors) sought to intrude one of their members into the abbey by alleging that the incumbent, "Cormac Ykahyr" (Cormac Ó Cathaoir) (although he had held the position for many years and "was a good administrator") had been irregularly installed. The precentor of Kilfenora, Tomas Ó Lochlainn,Usually anglicised O'Loughlin. who was asked to adjudicate in the affair, was himself attacked by the O'Connors and accused of complicity by forging a papal document. Before the case could be determined however the intruder, Bernard O'Connor, decided to force the issue and, according to the Papal Mandate which recounts the matter in full:

The recent petition of abbot Cormac Ykahyr and the convent of the monastery of St. Mary's, Kylsenay, O.S.A., in the diocese of Kilfenora (''Finaboren.''), contained that although the said Cormac had been abbot for many years and had laudably administered its goods, Bernard Ocomicubayr (''recte'' Oconncubayr), clerk (no diocese), falsely alleging that the said monastery ought to be granted to him in commendam, and that the said Cormac was unlawfully detaining possession of it, brought him and the convent before Thomas Olo[c]hlynd, precentor of Kilfenora, whom he alleged to be the executor of certain papal letters, which are believed to be forged, and by which he alleged that the said monastery was ordered to be granted to him in commendam; and that moreover, whilst the cause was pending before the said precentor, the said Bernard, with the support of lay power, went with his accomplices to the said monastery, broke open the doors and, laying violent hands on the said Cormac, grievously wounded him and slew one of his servants, carried off and wasted the goods which they found in the monastery, and expelled the canons, after which the said abbot and convent, fearing lest worse things should befall them, consented through fear to an agreement by which they pledged for a sum of money a portion of the immoveable goods of the monastery to the said Bernard, possession of which portion he still unlawfully detains. At the petition, therefore, of the said abbot (who alleges that through fear he swore to observe the said agreement, and appointed sureties for the purpose) and of the convent, the pope hereby orders the above three, if they find the said violence and wounding to be true, publicly to proclaim the said authors of sacrilege to be excommunicate[d], and cause them to be strictly avoided by all men, until they make satisfaction and until they come, with the letters testimonial of the above three, to the apostolic see for absolution, and, for the rest, to summon the said Bernard and his accomplices and others concerned, relax the said abbot's oath, so far only as to enable him to take [legal] action, hear both sides, and decide what is just, without appeal, causing their decision to be observed by ecclesiastical censure.Twemlow, J.A. (ed.). Calendar of Papal Registers Relating To Great Britain and Ireland: Volume 12, 1458-1471. London: His Majesty's Stationery Office, 1933. [https://www.british-history.ac.uk/cal-papal-registers/brit-ie/vol12/pp665-673 Page 667].

It is likely that the ousting of the Uí Chathaoir from Kilshanny resulted in their gradual loss of status in the social hierarchy. The fact that they do not feature in the 1585 ''Composition of Connacht'' would suggest that by that period, if not earlier in the century, they had essentially become tenants on the estates of the ruling Gaelic lineages and were themselves not a landholding lineage like the O'Deas or O'Connors in central Clare. The reduction in status of lesser lineages and families by the Gaelic landholding class is well known in the late medieval period and shows the extent to which social relations in Gaelic Ireland was far from static. The expansion of the ruling lineages and kindred-groups, often at the expense of smaller lineages, meant that the competition for land and status was a constant feature in Gaelic polities up until the destruction of the Gaelic social system in the Elizabethan and Jacobean period. Members of the family appear to have been settled around Kilnaboy parish in the early seventeenth century. According to a land deed dated 1 February 1601, '''Moriarty O Kaheyr''' (Muircheartach Ó Cathaoir) of Ballysheen in Kilnaboy parish stood as a witness.Ainsworth, John (ed.). The Inchiquin Manuscripts. Dublin: Stationery Office for the Irish Manuscripts Commission, 1961. Page 299, Nos. 950 & 955. In 1601, a '''Donal O'Cahir''' was listed in the Fiants with other Irish as being pardoned by the Elizabethan administration. His residence was Loughnagowan townland in the parish of Rath in County Clare. However, in an apparent indication of the social status of the family in the early modern period, no family members were recorded in the so-called 1641 ''Books of Survey and Distribution'' for County Clare in which the landholding lineages were listed.https://www.irishmanuscripts.ie/product/books-of-survey-and-distribution-being-abstracts-of-various-surveys-and-instruments-to-title-1636-1703-vol-iv-county-of-clare-reproduced-from-the-manuscript-in-the-public-record-office-of-ire/ Likewise, the Cahirs do not feature in the 1659 ''Census'', again pointing to their lower social position at that time, in the wake of the Cromwellian confiscations of the 1650s.

The Cahir's most recent confirmed Y-SNP mutation as of 7 Apr 2023 is R-BY126184 and his closest match on the haplotree is puzzlingly not a Cahir but a Richardson, with a recent surname/DNA switch from Owens to Richardson and male line roots in Wales. * A male line descendant of [[Cahir-29|Patrick Cahir]] (born in the 1700s) of Foilrim in Ruan parish, just 11 kilometres from Licknaun, has genetic ancestry from the so-called Irish Type II branch of the Y-DNA haplotree, characterised by the R-CTS4466 mutation, which features strongly in the south of Ireland. Common surnames in this lineage include O'Connell, O’Donoghue, Donovan, Regan, etc. * A Keher has genetic ancestry from the Niall of the Nine Hostages branch of the Y-DNA haplotree, characterised by the R-M222 mutation, which features strongly in the north-west of Ireland. * A Keigher has genetic ancestry from a Scottish cluster on the Y-DNA haplotree, characterised by the R-L1065 mutation. Hence, while the Cahir ancestors lived in close geographical proximity, their genetic connection was remote. The most recent mutation shared by the two Cahirs is [https://discover.familytreedna.com/y-dna/R-DF13/story R-DF13], which FTDNA dates to 2500 BCE, long before the use of any surnames. The Keher and Keigher men also share the R-DF13 mutation, and further share the slightly more recent [https://discover.familytreedna.com/y-dna/R-Z39589/story R-Z39589] mutation, dated to 2450 BCE. Two possible explanations for men with similar surnames having no recent shared Y-DNA mutations are (a) a surname/DNA switch by a male line ancestor within the surname era or (b) the separate adoption of the similar surnames by two unrelated males at the start of the surname era. Please bring this page to the attention of any male with the Cahir surname who may be interested in participating in Y-DNA comparison. We recommend that participants start with the Y-DNA37 test from www.FamilyTreeDNA.com (USD119 as of 7 Apr 2023) or preferably the more advanced Big Y-700 from the same company (USD449 as of 7 Apr 2023). The Name Study Coordinator, [[Waldron-201|Paddy Waldron]], will be glad to provide further details and answer any questions from those interested in participating in the DNA study, and to provide follow-up analysis after the DNA results arrive. ==List of project members== === Cahirs === * [[Cahir-30|Jerry Cahir]] * === Descendants of female Cahirs === * === Other genealogists and historians with an interest in the Cahir surname === * '''Name Study Coordinator: [[Waldron-201|Paddy Waldron]]''' * [[Breen-2053|Martin Breen]] * [[McInerney-559|Luke McInerney]] * ==Cahirs on WikiTree== As of 17 Mar 2024, there were 31 end-of-line Cahir ancestors on WikiTree+.

She was going to join the same relative or friend on both occasions, Daniel's granddaughter [[Cahir-50|Elizabeth Stock née Cahir]]: ** Cousin Mrs. W. Stack [sic], 7 School St, Belmont, Mass. in 1927; and ** Cousin Mrs. W. E. Stock, 27 Temple Street, Belmont, Mass. in 1937. * Gretta's ''Boston Globe'' death notices described her as "cousin of" Daniel's greatgranddaughter [[Cahir-49|Mary Balleste née Cahir]] (Mrs. Stock's niece). The relationships on the Cahir side can have been no closer second cousin once removed and third cousin respectively (if Daniel and Michael were brothers), raising the possibility that there was some other closer relationship (or an error in the pedigree as set out here on WikiTree). There is much other circumstantial evidence beyond the connections between their descendants in Massachusetts suggesting a close relationship between Michael and Daniel, but the following observations don't really help to solve the puzzle: * Daniel had a son with the uncommon name Sylvester and Michael had a grandson also named Sylvester. * Daniel's son [[Cahir-47|Sylvester Cahir]] resided in Reaskaun at the time of his marriage in 1885, and Michael appears to have been the only Cahir occupier of land in Reaskaun in 1855, albeit residing in the adjoining townland of Licknaun. * The Sylvester Cahir who was a witness on 6 Feb 1864 in Barefield Church at the wedding of [[Cahir-28|Michael]]'s son [[Cahir-33|Michael jr.]] could have been any of [[Cahir-47|Daniel's son]] or his [[Cahir-44|slightly older contemporary who went to Australia]] or the latter's [[Cahir-45|father]].https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/marriage_returns/marriages_1864/11603/8270610.pdf * Reaskaun is in the parish of Doora and Kilraghtis, which has a surviving baptismal register from 1 Mar 1821 to 23 Jan 1862, in which one might have expected to find Sylvester's baptism based on his residence at the time of marriage, but the only Sylvester of any surname in the [https://www.clarelibrary.ie/eolas/coclare/genealogy/don_tran/bmd/baptism_records_doora_kilraghtis_1821-1881.htm clarelibrary.ie transcription] of that baptismal register is a different [[Cahir-44|Sylvester Cahir]] baptised in 1836, who emigrated to Australia, and there is no child of Daniel in that transcription. * There are two houses occupied by Michael Cahar in Licknaun (adjoining Reaskaun) in Griffith's Valuation. The offline records of the Valuation Office must be consulted to establish whether these were two different Michael Cahars, or whether one might have actually been Daniel Cahir. * [[Cahir-28|Michael]]'s greatgrandson [[Cahir-51|Anthony Cahir]] (1906-1983) is said to have bequeathed his farm in Ballymaley (which was Anthony's mother's residence at the time of her marriage in 1900) to Daniel's greatgrandson [[Cahir-53|Michael Cahir]]. * Michael's grandson Patrick Cahir became a publican etc. on Mill Street, later Parnell Street, in Ennis. Daniel's greatgrandson [[Cahir-53|Michael Cahir]] later ran the Premier Restaurant/Café elsewhere on Parnell Street. Autosomal DNA comparisons between descendants of Daniel and Michael may be the only way to solve this puzzle. == Project objectives == Among the several objectives of the Cahir Name Study are the following: === FamilyTreeDNA project === All male Cahirs are currently invited to join the following FamilyTreeDNA (FTDNA) projects: * the [https://www.familytreedna.com/groups/clare-roots-society/about/background Clare Roots DNA project], of which the Name Study Coordinator, [[Waldron-201|Paddy Waldron]], is an administrator; and * the [https://www.familytreedna.com/groups/keigher-keher-surname/about/background Keigher/Keher Surname project], administered by Melissa Keigher, who also administers the [https://one-name.org/name_profile/keigher/ Keigher One-Name Study] within the [https://one-name.org/ Guild of One-Name Studies]. All female Cahirs and all descendants of Cahirs are also invited to join the Clare Roots project. FTDNA is reluctant to approve separate projects for surnames which may turn out to be merely variant spellings of each other. FTDNA's current implementation of General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR) also makes it extremely awkward for one administrator to administer multiple projects. If it becomes clear, as appears to be the case from the very limited DNA evidence available to date, that Cahir and Keigher or particular variant spellings are genetically distinct surnames, and if another volunteer administrator steps forward, then it may ultimately be appropriate to establish a separate Cahir DNA project at FTDNA. === Y-DNA comparison === As noted in the [[#About_the_project|introductory section]], the principal objective of the Cahir Name Study is to recruit Cahir men to submit Y-DNA samples to FTDNA. See the [[#Cahir_Y-DNA|Cahir Y-DNA]] section above. === Autosomal DNA comparison === If you have any Cahir ancestor and have not already done so, then please spit for AncestryDNA and/or 23andMe, upload your DNA data to MyHeritage, FamilyTreeDNA and GEDmatch, and add the details of all of your DNA "tests" to your WikiTree profile. For more on this see [http://pwaldron.info/DNA/nextstep.html How to get the most out of your DNA results]. === GEDmatch.com Ancestor Project === The [https://app.gedmatch.com/RT_APSubmit.php Request Ancestor Project Creation Facility] requires a list of 50 kits to create a new project. In due course, it is hoped to have 50 individuals with Cahir ancestry on GEDmatch to create such a project. As of 28 Sep 2023, the Name Study Coordinator was aware of only 18 individuals with Cahir ancestry in the autosomal DNA system, of whom 10 had uploaded their data to GEDmatch and just one had joined this project. === Compiling Cahir family trees === The competing objectives of the Cahir Name Study include: * to increase the number of end-of-line Cahir ancestors on WikiTree by adding Cahir families not previously represented on WikiTree; * to reduce the number of end-of-line Cahir ancestors on WikiTree by identifying the common ancestors of previously disconnected branches; * to connect all Cahirs to WikiTree's global family tree; * etc. === Solving Cahir puzzles === Another objective of the Cahir Name Study is to identify and solve various puzzles relating to Cahir ancestry, which will be listed in the [[#Cahir_puzzles|Cahir puzzles]] section above. === Cahir surname gathering === Another objective of the Cahir Name Study is to organise a Cahir surname gathering in County Clare. If you have Cahir ancestry and would be interested in participating in such a gathering, then please click the button to POST NEW COMMENT at the bottom of this page with whatever ideas or suggestions you may have for such a gathering. As soon as we reach a critical mass of potential attendees, we will start planning dates and venues. === Clans of Ireland registration === We need the names and contact details of at least six adult members bearing the Cahir surname (and a [https://www.clansofireland.ie/new-member-registration/ registration fee]) in order to satisfy the [https://www.clansofireland.ie/membership-registration/ registration criteria] of [https://www.clansofireland.ie/ Finte na hÉireann ~ Clans of Ireland].

The hope is that other Calef researchers like you will join our study to help make it a valuable reference point for people studying lines that cross or intersect. == Surname Variants == Most of the Calefs in the United States are descended from [[Calef-2|Robert Calef]], who was a well-known opponent of the Salem Witch Trials and may have been the first to use the Calef surname variant. His father and grandfather, who lived in England, reportedly spelled their family name Calfe or Calfee. Further research is needed to confirm precisely when these variants arose. There are also several surname variants found among the descendents of [[Calef-2|Robert Calef]]. As these spellings are confirmed with original sources, they may be added to this project. These surnames are currently included in this one name project: * Calef * Calfee * Calfe == Task List == * Connect all Calef profiles to the world tree ** Research and add profiles for spouses and children * Clean and verify Calef profiles ** Add original sources ** Update facts and mark "certain" when supported by original sources ** Write biographies ** Add categories as appropriate (for example: location categories, cemetery categories, occupation categories) * Research surname variants and build out family tree ** Add Calef descendants from [[Space:Robert Calef of Boston and Roxbury And Some of his Descendants|Robert Calef of Boston and Roxbury And Some of his Descendants]] HW 2019-10-06 ** Research ancestors of [[Calef-2|Robert Calef]] ** Build out Calfe / Calfee family branches == Resources == === Family Genealogies === * Lunt, William.

It is locational and originates from a place known as the "Lands of Colquhoun" in the county of Dumbarton. Surnames regarded as septs (sub-branch) of the Colquhoun clan include Cowan, Ingram, King, MacCowan and MacManus. Related names: CALLAHAN COLQUHOUN CALLIHAN CALAHAN COHOON CALLAN CALHOON COLHOUN CALLON KAHOUN, CALIHAN, CALHOUNE COLQHOUN COLLON . === Origin of Name === Origins of the clan

The lands of the Clan Colquhoun were on the shores of Loch Lomond. During the reign of Alexander II of Scotland, Umphredus de Kilpatrick received from Malduin, Earl of Lennox, the estates of Colquhoun, Auchentorily and Dumbuck. The Clan Colquhoun chief's early stronghold was at Dunglass Castle, which is perched on a rocky promontory by the River Clyde Dunglass was also close to the royal Dumbarton Castle, of which later chiefs of Clan Colquhoun were appointed governors and keepers.
The chief's title was that of the Barony of Luss which came to the Colquhouns when Sir Robert of Colquhoun married the heiress of the Lord of Luss in about 1368. Throughout the following centuries nameholders continued to pay a major part in Scottish history. For instance in the early 17th century as ironfounders they were employed by the King Gustavus of Sweden to cast cannon for his army, and it is said that under the spellings of Cahun and Cahund, they are still resident in Sweden. the Americans have invented their own spellings, and these include John Caldwell Calhoun (1782 - 1850), Vice-President of the USA in 1840. === Coloquhoun Center === A Colquhoun clan centre has been opened in Luss, on the banks of Loch Lomond. The Colquhoun clan motto is "Si je puis" which means "If I can". === Calhoun Settlers in the United States === :In the 17th Century: *[[Calhoun-1939|David Calhoun]] immigrated 1708-1714 :In the 18th Century: *William Calhoun immigrated 1795-1798 :In the 19th Century" *William Calhoun immigrated 1805 *Samuel Calhoun immigrated 1805 *Jean Calhoun immigrated 1805 *John Calhoun immigrated 1805 *Altar Calhoun aged 49, immigrated in 1812 === Contemporary Notables === :In progress == Sources == Way, George and Squire, Romily.

[[Category:One Name Studies]] [[Category: Callan Name Study]] __NOTOC__ ==About the Project== The CALLAN Name Study project serves as a collaborative platform to collect information on the [https://www.wikitree.com/genealogy/Callan Callan], [https://www.wikitree.com/genealogy/Callen Callen], and [https://www.wikitree.com/genealogy/Callin Callin] names. The hope is that other researchers like you will [[#How to Join|join the study]] to help make it a valuable reference point for other genealogists who are researching or have an interest in the CALLAN name and its variants. As a One Name Study, this project is not limited to persons who are related biologically. Individual [[#Teams|team studies]] can be used to branch out the research into specific methods and areas of interest, such as geographically (England CALLAN's), by period (18th Century CALLEN's), or by topic (CALLIN DNA, CALLEN Occupations, CALLAN Statistics). These studies may also include a number of family branches which have no immediate link with each other. Some researchers may even be motivated to go beyond the profile identification and research stage to compile fully sourced, single-family histories of some of the families they discover through this name study project. ''Also see the [[#Related Surnames and Surname Variants|related surnames and surname variants]].'' The main goal of this project will be to collect data for people who bear a version of the surname, globally, and determine whether they can be connected through modern DNA techniques or documentary evidence. ==How to Join== To join the Callan Name Study, first start out by browsing our current [[#Research_Pages|research pages]] to see if there is a specific study ongoing that fits your interests.

Determining which spelling is "correct" can be challenging - one [[Callin-62|Hugh Callin (abt.1803-abt.1846)]] was named as either "Coland, Calin, Callan, or Calm" in one source, and his two census appearances in 1830 and 1840 record him as "Hugh Callon" and "Hugh Callen", respectively.

Three silver ("ar." for "argent") martlets are arranged inside the bend." The crest was a device that was borne on top of a helmet.

Help menus are located at the top right of every page. ===First=== Add your family, parents, grandparents on back until you come to a point where you connect with your most distant Ancestor. ===Second=== Open the Campbell Name Study Project page and ====Add early Campbell's==== Add early Campbell's to the appropriate section - Ireland, Scotland, Ontario, Virginia, South Carolina, Georgia, etc. (add new sections as needed) - this would be generally from Documented Campbell's to 1850 (1865 if you spot someone interesting). You will need to do this in edit mode and follow along with what has already been started with Virginia. WikiMark-Up has a bit of a learning curve, so following the existing work will hopefully help. If you don't feel comfortable adding early Dunnahoos into the table format, add their information in the lists below the tables and we (those who are comfortable working in the tables) will work to add them to the sortable table. ====Search WikiTree==== Search WikiTree to see if any of the Campbell's listed in the tables already have a profile and move the source information to the existing profile then add the WikiTree link to the name in the table. WikiMark-up for an internal link is: [[Gaulden-7|Mags Gaulden]] which would give my name in a like this in the table: [[Gaulden-7|Mags Gaulden]] - My WikiTreeID is Gaulden-7. This is example from the Dunnahoo Name Study: James Dunnahoo, the first entry for Virginia, from the table in edit mode so you can see what it looks like: |-
|'''James'''|| '''Dunnahoo''' || || || '''1776''' || '''[[Dunnahoo-10|James Dunnahoo]]'' So you see that James Dunnahoo's WikiTree ID is used just like mine in the example above. ====Add profiles to the Tree==== Any profiles that don't match any other profile existing WikiTree profile need to have profile reated for them. If they have a link in the table they already have a profile. Once added, their WikiTreeID needs to be added to this page - or to the table and any source information or notes from this page moved to the profile. ===Third=== Write - If you feel more comfortable researching and/or writing information, something like an overview of Dunnahoo's in Virginia, please feel free to work in that area. Again, follow the work I have already done as far as any Wiki formatting.

CANTERBURY was a locational name 'of Canterbury' in County Kent. The name meant the town of the swamp by the fort. Local names usually denoted where a man held his land, and indicated where he actually lived. Early records of the name mention Canterburie (without surname) listed in the Domesday Book of 1086. In 1086 the compilation of the Domesday Book was ordered by William the Conqueror (1027-87), king of England from 1066. He was born in Failaise, the bastard son of Robert, Duke of Normandy, by Arlette, a tanner's daughter. On his father's death in 1035, the nobles accepted him as a duke. When Edward the Confessor, king of England died in 1066, William invaded England that Autumn, on 14th October, 1066 killing Harold (who had become King). English government under William assumed a more feudal aspect, the king's tenants-in-chief and all title to land was derived from his grants, and the Domesday Book contains details of the land settlements, and the names of the owners of such. The name was spelt as Cantwaraburg 754AD. Contwaraburg 851AD. At first the coat of arms was a practical matter which served a function on the battlefield and in tournaments. With his helmet covering his face, and armour encasing the knight from head to foot, the only means of identification for his followers, was the insignia painted on his shield and embroidered on his surcoat. Many factors contributed to the establishment of a surname system. For generations after the Norman Conquest of 1066 a very few dynasts and magnates passed on hereditary surnames, but the main of the population, with a wide choice of first-names out of Celtic, Old English, Norman and Latin, avoided ambiguity without the need for a second name. As society became more stabilized, there was property to leave in wills, the towns and villages grew and the labels that had served to distinguish a handful of folk in a friendly village were not adequate for a teeming slum where perhaps most of the householders were engaged in the same monotonous trade, so not even their occupations could distinguish them, and some first names were gaining a tiresome popularity, especially Thomas after 1170. The hereditary principle in surnames gained currency first in the South, and the poorer folk were slower to apply it. By the 14th century however, most of the population had acquired a second name.http://www.4crests.com/canterbury-coat-of-arms.html == INFORMATION == === '''GENERATION I''' === *'''John Canterbury''', b. 1570; father of '''[[Canterbury-340|Cornelius Canterbury]];''' === '''GENERATION II''' === *'''[[Canterbury-340|Cornelius Canterbury]]''', b. 1595; parent '''John Canterbury'''; Child: '''[[Canterbury-88|Roger CANTERBURY1]]'''; === '''GENERATION III''' === *'''[[Canterbury-88|Roger CANTERBURY1]]''', b.

He married '''[[Canterbury-32|Elizabeth Canterbury]]''' 1718 in Richmond Co., VA, daughter of '''[[Canterbury-10|John Canterbury]]''' and '''[[Williams-798|Ruth Williams]]'''. She was born in Richmond Co., VA. Notes for '''[[Kincheloe-13|John Kincheloe]]'''*:
'''[[Kincheloe-14|Cornelius]]''' son John inherited the Richmond County land. John sold 10 acres to William Smyth (Smith) on April 21, 1722, and he sold the remaining 90 acres to Robert Smith on June 2, 1724, for 6,000 pounds of "good and weighty tobacco" packed in casks. John then acquired hundreds of acres of land in Stafford County. This land became part of Prince William County, just west of what is now Washington, D.C. The land was on both sides of Bull Run, along Occuquan Creek and Nebasco Creek in Hamilton Parish. In 1737, he bought land on Powell's Run and more land on Bull Run and in Hamilton Parish. John was born around 1700 in North Farnham Parish and served as warden of Truro Perish, Prince William County, 1732-1736 and Vestryman (A committee of members elected to administer the temporal affairs of a parish) in his church from 1736-1746. John signed his will on March 16, 1746 and died later that month in Prince William County. He was married to Elizabeth (maiden name unknown) and they had eleven children. Notes for '''[[Canterbury-32|Elizabeth Canterbury]]'''*:
Some sources say that Elizabeth's last name was Canterbury. There is some dispute. Her father may have been '''[[Canterbury-10|John Canterbury]]''' and his wife, '''[[Williams-798|Ruth Williams]]'''. '''[[Canterbury-10|John Canterbury]]''' was born about 1660 in Old Rappahannock Co., VA. He died about 1706/7 in North Farnham Parish, Richmond Co, VA. He married in about 1690 '''[[Williams-798|Ruth Williams]]''' who was born 1 Feb. 1673 in Old Rappahannock Co., VA and died about 1750 in Fairfax Co., VA. She was the daughter of '''[[Williams-1333|Roger Williams]]'''. '''[[Williams-1333|Roger Williams]]''' was born about 1638, Old Rappahannock (now Richmond) Co., VA. He d. 6 Jan. 1677, Old Rappahannock Co., VA. He married in about 1670 '''[[Firth-195|Joane Frith]]''' who was born about 1645 in Old Rappahannock Co., VA and died about 1703 in Richmond Co., VA. She married Mr. Lloyd after Roger's death. '''[[Firth-195|Joane Firth]]''' was the daughter of '''[[Firth-6|Nathanial Frith]]''' who was born about 1620 in Old Rappahannock Co., VA, and died about 1677.

'''[[Williams-1333|Roger Williams]]''' of Northern Neck, VA is an ancestor of the Simpson-Kincheloe-Canterbury family of Caswell Co., NC, previously of Northern Neck, VA. His wife probably was '''[[Firth-195|Joane (or Jane)]]''' (surname not proved). His conjectured daughter is '''[[Williams-798|Ruth Williams]]''', wife of '''[[Canterbury-10|John Canterbury]]''', as implied in documents other than his will. Lewis Loyd was her stepfather, and he left a will. This is from an unsubstantiated source, and, again the maiden name of Joane cannot be proved by this writer:

His will, dated Feb.26, 1675/6 and probated June 6, 1677 (Sweeney "Wills of Rappahannock Co.", p. 52), mentions his sons Roger and Shadrack, his wife Joane, and his eldest daughter, Betty Williams. The widow, Joan Williams, married (2) '''[[Lloyd-386|Lewis Loyd]]''', who died in Rappahannock Co. in 1690. The will of '''[[Lloyd-386|Lewis Loyd]]''', dated April 24, 1687 and probated Nov. 5, 1690 (Sweeney, p. 137), leaves small bequests to his grandchild Ann Phillips, to "Henry Thornton's son Roger Thornton", and to Elizabeth Phillips; mentions his daughter-in-law, Ruth Williams; and leaves the bulk of his property to the widow, Joan. Joan Williams Loyd died in Richmond Co., Va. early in 1704. The will of Joan Loyd, dated Jan. 8, 1703/4, and probated Feb. 2, 1703/4, mentions her daughter '''[[Williams-4259|Susannah Phillips]]''', wife of '''[[Phillips-2653|William Phillips]]'''; son '''[[Williams-1357|Shadrack Williams]]'''; daughter '''[[Williams-4290|Ann Debord]]''' wife of '''[[Debord-7|James Debord]]'''; daughter Ruth Canterbury, wife of John Canterbury; granddaughter Elizabeth Thornhill; daughter-in-law Elizabeth Williams; son-in-law, George Thompson; granddaughter Susan Phillips; grandson John McDaniell; son-in-law William Phillips; sons-in-law John Canterbury and George Thompson (Richmond Co.

between 1840 and 1920 https://www.ancestry.com/name-origin?surname=carder Note: Most Carders lived in the United States before 1840. Carders have been found in Colonial America as early as the 1600s. Therefore, the New York Passengers List is NOT accurate as the origins of the Carder family. It only reflects places that Carders traveled to and from. ==Carder Surname== Recorded in several spelling forms including Card, Carde, and Carder, this is a medieval English occupational surname, and one concerned with the early textile industry. It derives from the Old French worde "carde" and is probably most associated with the famous Flemish Weavers who were brought to this country in the 13th century by King Edward 1st, to teach the skills of cloth making to the unskilled English. The word "carde" actually translates as "teasle head", introducing the possibility that given the robust humour of the Middle Ages, it may also have been used as a nickname surname. What is certain is that the surname has the honour to be amongst the very first of all recorded surnames, and was probably regarded of great importance at a time when early industry was begining to make its mark. Examples of the recordings from those ancient times preserved in the surviving authentic charters and rolls include Lawrence Carde in the 1297 Assize register for the county of Cornwall, and later in 1332, John le Carder of Yorkshire, was recorded in the Friary Rolls for the city of Wakefield. The first known example of the name recording is probably that of Arnald Carde, in the 1221 rolls of Salop (Shropshire).

[[Category:One Name Studies]] [[Category:Carney Name Study]] Recorded as O' Kearney, Kearney, Kerney, McCarney, McKarney, Carney, Cearney, and others, this is as surname of Irish origins, which may also be found in Scotland. It derives from the pre 9th century Gaelic, "cearnach" meaning victorious, a meaning which no doubt assisted in its great popularity. Originally known as the O' Cearnaigh and later O' Kearney and sometimes M(a)cCarney or M(a)cKarney, the clan were centered around the town of Cashel, although another branch were to be found in Teffia, and more logically Ballymacarney, both in County Meath as well as Kilcoursey in County Offally, where the chief was enobled as Baron Kilcoursey. According to the late Irish historian Edward MacLysaght, another branch of the clan originally from Meath are now called Fox, which also happens to be an English settler name from Elizabethan times. It would seem that an early 11th century chief of O' Ceranaigh was known in Gaelic as "Sionnach" or The Fox, but it does seem rather far fetched that as after some five centuries had elapsed, that the clan would take it upon themselves to change their name to Fox. Still its possible, anything is possible with surnames, and particularly Irish ones. It is unclear when the surname was first recorded but David Kearney was the archbishop of Cashel in 1603, and James McKarney was an official in both Dublin and later in France to the exiled King James 11nd, 1685 - 1689. Read more: http://www.surnamedb.com/Surname/Kearney#ixzz4Id1dDZjZ There are few names, if any, in the annals of Irish history more renowned than the name of Kearney. There are at least four separate Kearney families in Ireland, and at least two separate Irish roots for the name. Of the two different personal names anglicised as “Kearney,” one is Cearnach, meaning “victorious,” and the other is Caithearnach or Catharnaigh, meaning “warlike” (sometimes also translated as “foot-soldier”). Cearnach was a fairly common Irish name in the early Middle Ages (perhaps popularised by the legendary hero Conall Cearnach, or “Conal of the Victories,” one of Ulster’s greatest warriors). The name Kearney is evenly distributed throughout the four provinces of Ireland; the alternative spelling Carney, however, is almost confined to Connacht, particularly Co. Mayo. The latter are Ó Cearnaigh in Irish, and are a branch of the Uí Fiachrach, a grouping of clans that trace their origins back to a 5th century chieftain called Fiachra. This clan of O’Kearneys was prominent in Mayo, in the west of Ireland, and were considered closely related to the Quigleys (Uí Coigligh). One group of Uí Cearnaighs, associated with the South of Ireland, takes its name from a Cearnach who was a 5th-great-grandson of a prolific Munster chieftain named Cas. This makes these Kearneys part of the Dalcassians, an alliance of clans mainly notable for producing Brian Boru and the O’Brien family. The Dalcassians claim a number of illustrious (and probably legendary ) ancestors, including Conn of the Hundred Battles and Fionn MacCool. The Dalcassian O’Kearneys, who migrated to Cashel in early times, are also Ó Cearnaigh. Nicholas O’Kearney, who died in 1460, held a number of extensive estates, and his tomb is to be found in the Rock of Cashel. Michael Kearney, who was born more than a century later, in 1588, is described as the ‘Chieftain of Fethard,’ in Co. Tipperary. His eldest son, Philip, who died in 1657, was Clerk of the Supreme Council of Confederated Catholics at Kilkenny, while his seventh son was father of John Kearney, Secretary of State to James 11, whom he accompanied to France. King James, a few months before the Battle of the Boyne, appointed Patrick Kearney to the office of “Comptroller of the Pipe and Second Engrosser of the Great Roll of the Exchequer of Ireland.” The most important Kearney sept in history are of different origin. In Irish their name is Ó Catharnaigh. They trace their ancestry back to Niall of the Nine Hostages, high king of Ireland from about 379 to 405 A.D. They were chiefs of Teffia, Co. Meath, and even when their influence diminished they retained a considerable territory in Co. Offaly. The Meath Kearneys are usually known as Fox, the head of the family being styled ‘The Fox.’ Tadhg Ó Catharnaigh, 11th century chief of the family who died in 1084, was known as ‘Sionnach’, a Sobriquet which was translated as ‘The Fox’ – hence the use of the surname Fox by many people of Kearney descent. Probably the most significant historical event connected with the O’Catharnaighs was the assassination of Hugh de Lacy, who led the 1171 English invasion of Ireland on behalf of King Henry II. In 1186, when de Lacy was built a castle at Durrow Abbey, a stepson of the current O’Catharnaigh chieftain came up behind him and beheaded him with an axe – providing a major setback to the English conquest. The chieftain was supposedly outraged that de Lacy was desecrating Durrow, which had been founded by St. Columba, the fact that de Lacy was building castles within O’catharnaigh territory no doubt contributed to his righteous anger. Other branches of the family have been noted near Kinsale, near Cork, and in the baronies of Tulla and Bunratty, County Clare. In North Ulster it is generally derived from the surname Mac Cearnaigh, which was held by a branch of the O’Neills. There is yet another Ui Cearnaigh clan based in Donegal, described as “an ecclesiastical family who were former erenaghs of Derry.” (An Erenagh is a custodian og church lands.) These Ui Cearnaighs were said to be related to the O’Hagan family, and to trace their ancestry back to Fergus, son of King Niall. In 1198, Giollo Criost O’Cearney was elected Abbot of Derry-Columb-kille, ‘by the chiefs and clergy of the North of Ireland.’ He was afterwards appointed Bishop of Connor, to which see James O’Kerny was appointed Bishop in 1324. Quite a number of alternative forms are used in English besides Carney, including Keherney, Ó Caherney, and (in Co. Cavan) McCarney. Seven notable ecclesiastics called Kearney lived and worked in Ireland, of whom Rev. Barnabas Kearney S.J. (1578 – 1640), David Kearney, Archbishop of Cashel from 1603 – 1625, and the Protestant Rev. John Kearney (1542 – 1600), author of a catechism in the Irish language, may be specifically mentioned. The name is best known in modern times through Paedar Kearney (1883 – 1942), the Dublin man who wrote the words of ‘A Soldier’s Song’, the Irish National Anthem. Other popular songs that he wrote included ‘The Tri-Coloured Ribbon’ and ‘Down by the Glenside.’ He joined the Gaelic League in 1901, became a member of the Irish Republican Brotherhood in 1903 and fought in the Rising of 1916 at Jacob’s Factory. Arrested in 1920, he was jailed for 12 months. He was associated with the Abbey Theatre and was an uncle of Brendan Behan. The Kearneys were among the earliest settlers in America, the first being Michael, who emigrated from Ireland before 1669. His son, Michael, was a New York prominent merchant, who later settled in New Jersey. Descendants of Michael are living in New Jersey, Maryland, Pennsylvania and other sections of the Country. There is a city called Kearney in Ontario, Canada, another in Missouri and another in Nebraska, both in the U.S.A. Down the years many Kearneys have settled nearer home, in Great Britain. Research today shows that 11,302 people share the surname Kearney. This surname is the 871st most common name in Great Britain. The name Kearney is found most frequently in Dumfries and Galloway (13th surname), Derbyshire (17th surname), Berkshire (31st surname), Glasgow City (139th surname) and Lancashire 9358th surname.) http://www.kearneyreunion.com/content/?id=3&l1id=3 I am starting a one name study for the Carney surname in an attempt to find my ancestors. My great great grandmother Margaret Ann Kearney/Carney was born 1844 in Baltimore, Maryland and married George Riley in 1862. He died in 1863 of typhoid fever during the Civil War at Maryland Heights. They had no children. He was most likely at war their entire marriage. Margaret then met Thomas Solon and married in 1869 in Baltimore, Maryland. They had 6 Children: Thomas Patrick, Lawrence, Margaret, Mary, Joseph and Isabelle. Isabelle was my great grandmother. Thomas had a child named Nicholas from a previous marriage. Margaret died in 1883 when Isabelle was 3 years old. Margaret's parents were Samuel Kearney and Isabelle Knipe. They were married 21 Dec 1843 in Eglish parish, Co. Armagh, Ireland. They then sailed for America and had Margaret in Baltimore, Maryland.

As a standard of Case research we have decided to disallow any citations from secondary sources such as '''Find A Grave''', '''RootsWeb''', '''Ancestry Member Trees''', '''Geneanet Community Trees''' and '''FamilySearch''' and other similar website. The reason for this is the ease at which details with no factual merit can be added and repeated. We encourage the use of these sites to find the root document that they base their information on and to see the original form of that information. That primary level documentation is the standard for the Case Family One Name Study. Example: Ancestry Member Tree has birth date information and cites "Little Compton Families, Vol 1., Page 1234". Please go to "Little Compton Families", verify the information and then use that citation in the Wikitree profile.

If any Wikitree members are able to find sources to help make the connections, that would be wonderful! == Origin of the Name == The ancestors of the Cayley baronets came around the time of the Norman conquest from a village near Rouen in Normandy called Cailly. Before the 14th century, common forms of the surname were '''de Cailly''' and '''de Kailly''', though there were a number of other variants. Census and immigration information suggests that some other Cayley lines in England and in other countries varied the spelling of their surname between '''Cayley''' and '''Caley''', and that a few families were descended from Irish immigrants originally called '''Kelly''' or '''Cawley'''. ==Surname Variants== This study includes the variant surname spelling Cailly, which is the main form of the name found in earlier medieval times. As with many surnames, in records and sources dating back to the 18th century and earlier the surname is found spelt in many different ways, and some individuals have their last name spelt differently in different records. Among the variants are * Cayly * Caley * Cailey * Caily * Caly * Cayle * Caylie * Kayley * Kayly * Kaily * Kaley * Keyley The earlier medieval form of the surname, often in the form Cailly, also has many further different spellings in surviving records, including * Kailly * Cailli * Kailli * Caily * Kaily * Caili * Caylly * Cayllye * Caylli * Kaylli and even, in one group of records, Kellaway or Kellaways. ==Geographical Distribution== The Cayley baronets have been particularly associated with a village called Brompton-by-Sawdon, inland from Scarborough in Yorkshire, England. Today descendants of their family can be found in Australia, Canada, England, New Zealand and the USA. Other Cayleys can be found in the main English-speaking countries around the world. ==Prominent Cayleys== * [[Cayley-7 | Sir George Cayley]], 1773-1847, an inventor and a pioneer of aeronautics * [[Cayley-44 | Arthur Cayley]], 1821-1895, a leading 19th-century mathematician == Resources == [https://cayleyfamilyhistory.wordpress.com cayleyfamilyhistory.wordpress.com] == Task List == * To investigate whether there are other Cayley lines which share ancestors with the family of the Cayley baronets of Yorkshire. * To extend other Cayley lines back in time. * To improve Cayley-related profiles

Intentionally, women whose married name is Chadwick, but had another maiden name, are not included in this study, following the paternal line as usually practiced in the Western world. Thus the y chromosome DNA of the male members of this list may often be closely related. I recently came across the name Cooper-Chadwick.

Their children, surnamed Cooper-Chadwick, are not included in this study. ==Origin of the Name== The following is from ''A Dictionary of English and Welsh Surnames'':

Chadwick, Chatwick.— Local, ' of Chadwick,' a hamlet in the parish of Rochdale, co. Lanc. This surname is to be met with in every town in Lancashire. It must have crossed the Atlantic at an early period, as it is strongly represented in the States directories. There is a hamlet named Chadwick in the parish of Bromsgrove, co. Worcester ; but I do not think it has made any considerable impression on nomenclature. Lancashire is the true home of the surname. Chadwick no doubt means the wick or dwelling of Chad, the original settler (v. Wick).Bardsley, Charles Wareing Endell, ''A Dictionary of English and Welsh Surnames: With Special American Instances'', H. Frowde, 1901, [http://books.google.com/books/about/A_Dictionary_of_English_and_Welsh_Surnam.html?id=RbkEAAAAIAAJ Google Books]

This is from Chadwick:

The earliest, authentic, and undoubted progenitor of the main stock of the existing family of Chadwick was Nicholas de Chadwyk, who died about the twenty-third year of the reign of King Henry VI. (1445)...Chadwick, John Oldfield, "Reports on the Estate of Sir Andrew Chadwick and the Recent Proceedings of the Chadwick Association in Reference Thereto", Manchester, England, Simpkin, Marshall and Co., 1881 [https://play.google.com/store/books/details?id=rIFmAAAAMAAJ&rdid=book-rIFmAAAAMAAJ&rdot=1 Google Books]

and this is from Burke:

This family springs originally from the hamlet of Chadwick, in the parish of Rochdale, situated at the southern extremity of Spotland, bounded eastward by the Spodden, and southward by the Roche. William de Chadwyke, the first of the name on record, was born about the year 1355, as he was living in 1413, being then styled senior, and having a son, William, of age. William de Chadwyke, son of William de Chadwyke, senior, had a grant from Adam de Bamford in 1413, of certain lands from Adam de Bamford. His descendant, John de Chadwyk, son of Nicholas de Chadwyk, by Maud, his wife, daughter and heir of Thomas de Paris, died in the life time of his elder brother Robert, in, or about the year 1446, leaving three sons...Burke, John, "A genealogical and heraldic history of the commoners of Great Britain and Ireland", Vol. IV, London, Henry Colburn Publisher, 1838, page 456.

A completely different line of Chadwicks is born out by the fact that my father [[Chadwick-1022|Maurice P. Chadwick]] went to West Point at the same time as [[Chadwick-1628|Col. Benjamin Franklin Chadwick]] whose parents had apparently changed their surname when coming to the USA. ==Puritan Great Migration== During the 1600s, several Chadwicks migrated from Lancashire to Massachusetts. These included [[Chadwick-496|Charles]], [[Chadwick-275|John]], [[Chadwick-1294|John]] and [[Chadwick-455|Thomas]] and there may be others. See [[Space:Chadwicks_of_Early_Massachusetts_Bay_Colony|Chadwicks of the Early Massachusetts Bay Colony]]. Many others remained in England and some migrated to America, Australia, and elsewhere during the 18th and 19th centuries. ==My y-DNA Family Line== '''Please post your own family line here as well.'''

Champions from Normandy : An Essay on the Early History of the Champion de Crespigny Family 1350-1800 AD''. Anne Young, Ballarat West can be read through https://nla.gov.au/nla.obj-2899050253/view . Though the original surname of the family was Champion, therefore, after the acquisition of Crespigny in the early seventeenth century Crespigny or de Crespigny was used either to make distinction from other families bearing the shorter and more common form. Over time, the full style Champion de Crespigny became established and was cited when necessary, as in the Certificate granted by the College of Arms to Pierre, [[Champion_de_Crespigny-14|Thomas]] and [[Champion_De_Crespigny-2|Gabriel]], on the memorial to [[Champion-2275|Claude]] and his wife [[[De_Vierville-1|Marie|nee de Vierville]]] at Marylebone, and on some – but not all – legal documents such as wills. Commonly, however, a shorter form was used, and for most of the eighteenth century it was simply Crespigny – subject to erratic spelling on some occasions – while "Champion" may appear as part of the surname or as a given name. During the nineteenth century the baronet lineage adopted the full form, but other branches were slower to do so. In 1849, when [[Champion_de_Crespigny-16|Philip [Robert] Champion Crespigny (1817-1889), founder of the family in Australia]], was issued with a passport at St Mâlo for his journey to Paris to be married to Charlotte Frances nee Dana, he was identified as Philip C Crespigny, and his signature endorses the style. The full surname appears quite late in Australia: Philip Robert's son [[Champion_de_Crespigny-7|Philip, future General Manager of the Bank of Victoria]], began to use it in the 1890s and 1900s, and his obituaries in 1927 refer to him as Philip Champion de Crespigny. The tombstones of Philip's sisters Ada (1848-1927) and Viola (1855-1929) identify them as daughters of (retrospectively renamed) Philip [Robert] Champion de Crespigny. ==Coat of Arms== One should note that a Coat of Arms is granted for the use of one particular person ('armiger'). The description of the Coat of Arms is known as the 'blazon' and it is very exact in its terminology. Children may inherit the blazon but it is modified according to prescribed rules. The basic shield of the Champion de Crespigny family is first ascribed to Maheas Champion about 1350. In heraldic language it is blazoned as ''argent'' [a white shield], a ''lion rampant sable'' [black], ''armed and langued gules'' [red claws and tongue], ''in dexter base'' [bottom left] a ''fer-de-moulin'' [or ''cross moline''] ''pierced sable'' [black, with a hole showing through to the white of the shield behind].''Champions from Normandy'' pages 2-3 {{Image|file=Champion_de_Crespigny_Name_Study.png |caption=Basic shield for Champion de Crespigny family }} Entry in [https://archive.org/details/generalarmoryofe00burk/page/273/mode/1up?q=crespigny Burke's ''General Armory'']: :De Crespigny (Champion de Crespigny, Champion Lodge, Camberwell, Surrey, bart.).

The hope is that other researchers like you will join our study to help make it a valuable reference point for people studying lines that cross or intersect. '''== Task List ==''' I have started a new Study for anyone with the Chancy/Chancey/Chauncey surname. 1. Please enter your Chancy tree. Lets see how many we can tie together! 2. Get your male Chancy/Chancey/Chauncey relative to do the dna testing. 3. Write a short bio here on your immigrant ancestor. One of the biggest problems I have with ftdna is that very few actually enter data so there is a very small chance we can match known dna matches with one another. I'm impressed by the amount of good matches my son has already added to his tree thanks to wikitree. Ive only been a member a short while but I wish Id known about this site sooner! ''Aurora Howard Chancy'' Many, many years ago, I received a Beatrice Bayley book with 285 Chancy names and addresses in it. I sent letters to everyone and received few answers. Now that technology is so much better and interest in genealogy has increased Id like to try again but a different approach. It is generally believed that all American Chancy/Chancey/Chauncey's descend from our first immigrant. However the different haplogroups showing up indicate that might not be accurate. '''Charles Chauncy 1592–1671 Christened 05 NOV 1592 • Yardley-bury, Hertfordshire, England Birth 1589 Death 19 FEB 1671/72 • Cambridge, Middlesex, Massachusetts''' ''This is my husbands 9th great-grandfather see [[Chauncey-8]] My son Larry Chancy tested and is Haplogroup I-M253. " CHAUNCY, Charles, educator, was baptized at Yardley-Bury, Hertfordshire, England, Nov. 5, 1592; son of George and Agnes (Welsh) Chauncy, and the emigrant ancestor of all who bear the name of Chauncy and Chauncey in the United States. He received his preparatory training at Westminster school, and entered Trinity college, Cambridge, where he was made a bachelor of arts in 1613, and a master of arts in 1617. He was also made a fellow of the college, and in 1624 was given the degree of B.D. He was chosen professor of Hebrew, but resigned in favor of a relative of the vice-chancellor, and was appointed to the Greek professorship. He remained at Trinity for some time, and then preached for a season at Marston Laurence, Northamptonshire. In 1627 he became vicar of Ware, Hertfordshire, where his peculiar puritanical opinions involved him in difficulties with his ecclesiastical superiors. In January, 1629, he was called before the high commission court on the charge of having used in his sermons certain expressions condemnatory of the church, and is said to have made his submission to Bishop Laud. In 1635 he was again prosecuted for opposing the railing in of the communion table at Ware; was suspended, cast into prison, condemned to costs, and obliged to make a humiliating recantation. He left England late in 1637, and arrived at Plymouth, Mass., in May, 1638. For about three years he preached with Mr. Royner at Plymouth, and in 1641 was elected pastor of the church at Scituate, where he preached for twelve years. His pastorate in Scituate was for many reasons unpleasant to him, partly because of a difference of opinion among his parishioners, and partly because of a lack of financial support. His persecutor, Bishop Laud, had been executed, and a change had taken place in the attitude of the church; Mr. Chauncy was invited to return to Ware, and had reached Boston, whence he was to sail, when he was invited to become president of Harvard college. He was inaugurated Nov. 29, 1654, and entered upon the duties of the office at a salary of £100 per annum. He was married, March 17, 1630, to Catharine, daughter of Robert Eyre of Sarum, Wilts, and Agnes, his wife, daughter of John Still, bishop of Bath and Wells. He is the author of: The Plain Doctrine of the Justification of a Sinner in the Sight of God, Six and Twenty Sermons (1659), and Antisynodalia Scripta Americana. See Cotton Mather's Magnalia Christi Americana, Beal's History of New England, vol. ii., and Memorials of the Chaunceys. He died in Cambridge, Mass., Feb. 19, 1671/2. September 19, 1671, Mr. Chas. Chancey, a pious minister died, aged 82, leaving a large family, six of his sons were ministers: Isaac, Ichabud, Barabas, Nathaniel, Elnathan and Israel. ( Douglas Registers p. 361, Virginia ) ----

[[Category:One Name Studies Project, Showcase]] [[Category:Clezie Name Study]] [[Category: Berwickshire, Clezie Name Study]] [[Category:One Name Studies]] [[Category:DNA Projects]] This is a One Name Study to collect together in one place relevant information about this surname with so many variants: '''Clazie - Clezie - Clazey - Clezy - Clazy''' and occasionally even Clacey - Clacy - Claisye - Clasey - Clasie - Claize - Clasy - Clizzee - Clizy - Klazie. The spelling was creative! Written records of the name first appeared on the European mainland and in the Scottish Borders, about the same date. Is it a French or Dutch name that made its way to Scotland? Or a Scottish name that somehow got to the Continent? What connects the various locations on opposite sides of the Channel? Surely it wasn't a spontaneous appearance in both places? All members of the Clezie - Clazie - Clezy - Clazy - Clazey family in Scotland were described as Presbyterians, from the earliest-known records - although apparently not especially religious. Presbyterianism originated in France but reached its greatest success in Scotland; this family name occurs in both places. (The online Wikipedia says, "Presbyterianism was especially influenced by the French theologian Jean Calvin, who is credited with the devlopment of Reformed theology, and the work of John Knox, a Scotsman and Roman Catholic priest, who studied with Calvin in Geneva, Switzerland".) Those facts suggest - but do not prove - that the name itself might have originated in France and it somehow spread to Scotland. The details are lost in history. After the year 1598, French Protestants called Huguenots were expelled from France. Maybe it was they who took the Continental name to Scotland? Later migrants and colonists carried the name from Scotland to Canada, United States, Australia, New Zealand, even a few forays by Presbyterian missionaries to Kenya, New Guinea, Yemen, Korea and Taiwan in the 20th century. '''France''' A list of pre-Revolutionary surnames in the departement of Deux-Sèvres, between La Rochelle and Poitiers in west-central France, shows the surnames Claise, Clayse, Clazay, Claze, Clazy, Clezie; but the dates and details are unclear. In the same general area, near Nantes, are place-names: the town of Clazay; a river, Ruisseau de Clazay; a commune named Clessé. A village in Basse-Normandie is today called Clécy but earlier records showed the spelling Clézy. The area was heavily populated by Huguenots until their expulsion from France. Family names Clezie, Clézie, Clezy, Clésie, Clésié, were found in pre-Revolutionary Paris and in Normandy, but details again are scant. At Habloville, in Normandy, the death of a child, Pierre Clezie, was recorded in 1749; his parents, Henry Clezie and Marguerite Nicolle, were from Paris. In 1789, a death was reported (location not clear) of Pierre-Eustache Clésié, his surname also written Clézie. In 1790, Geneviève Emmanuelle Clezie, a widow, remarried to Pierre-Etienne Soret. She and her sister, Hélène-Théodore Clezie, signed papers before a notary, each appointing the other as guardian of their respective children. (The fathers were deceased, so the women took steps to prevent their children becoming orphans.) The last-known French record of the name was dated 1899, spelled Clézy, with accented middle vowel: Geneviève Clézy, daughter of Victor Clézy was born at Ay, in the Marne region, just below the Belgian border. '''Netherlands''' Dutch records show varied spelling: Claesies (1687), Klaas (1709), Clazie (1723), Klissie (1783), Klaazie (1786), Claasje (1798), Klaasies (1815), Claassie (1830), Clasie (1834). Are they all related? One record showed a marriage in 1723 at Leeuwarden in Fryslan or Friesland, the northern Netherlands: a man, Jean Clazie, married Jeanne-Louise Gonzal. Another record in 1759 at Utrecht, central Netherlands, showed a marriage of Cornelis Klazie and Elisabeth Tolenaar. This is the only known example of the name written with K rather than C. But it seems to have been originally a patronymic: derived from a man's personal name, Nicolaas, or Nikolaas, shortened to Claas or Klaas. '''Scotland''' The earliest known Scottish record of the name shows that "Jon Clazie" delivered the bell to the newly-renovated church at Hutton, Berwickshire in 1665. Where did he come from? Born at Hutton, or arrived from elsewhere? Unknown. The Kirk Session Book says the man who brought the bell was paid sixteen shillings when he delivered it: ''"Given to Jon Clazie for drink qn the bell came home - 16 sh." '' The bell was made at a foundry owned by the Burgerhuys family, located at Middelburg, in Flanders, now part of the Netherlands. The bell is inscribed in Latin: "SOLI DEO GLORIA JOHANNES BURGHERHUYS ME FECIT 1661". Roughly translated: "Glory to God Alone Johannes Burgerhuys made me 1661" The words "Soli Deo Gloria" were a defining motto of the Protestant Reformation, strongly associated with Presbyterianism. Many similar bells were imported from the Netherlands around the same date and now hang in churches throughout Scotland. Maybe Jon Clazie, who delivered this bell, was himself from the Netherlands? Unknown. Legend claims that the surname originated with Huguenots, forced to leave France in the 16th century. In Scotland, the spelling of the name diverged widely: Clazie, Clazy, Clezie, Clezy, Clazey, all were found. Occasionally other creative versions were seen: Clacey, Clacy, Clasey, Claisye, Clasie, Claize, Clizzee, Clizy. Spelling was flexible until well into the 19th century. An inscription on a tombstone at Chirnside in the Scottish Borders illustrates the inconsistent spelling. Five closely-related members of one family were commemorated, with their surname written 4 different ways! '''In Memory of Helen Carr Wife of James Clezy who died 15th April 1826 Aged 62 years. ''' '''Also Joseph Clezie their son who died May 18th 1823 aged 23 years.  ''' '''The said James Clezie died on the 8th June 1833 aged 66 years. ''' '''Also Margaret Claizey wife of Thomas Toucher who died Nov 23 1856 aged 65 years. ''' '''Also James Clazey son of the above James Clazey who died at Hutton 8th Dec 1860 aged 58 years. ''' Obviously there was no “correct” way to write this surname - just many variations. Consistent spelling was an unknown concept. '''Berwick-upon-Tweed''' Across the English Border, at Berwick-upon-Tweed, early records showed the baptism in 1666 of “Elenor Clasie” (her father was elsewhere called “William Clasey”). Spelling kept changing - all depended on who wrote it. A clergyman might record the name as he thought best, at time of baptism, marriage or burial; later, someone else wrote it differently. The middle vowel could be "e" or "a"; the next letter "z" or "s" or even "c"; the ending "ie", "y" or "ey". Clazey and Clazie became the usual versions at Berwick-upon-Tweed but Clezy, Clazy and Clezie were also found, and occasionally Clacey, Clacy, Clasey or Clasie. '''Overseas''' Emigrants carried the surname overseas. Certain spelling versions became the norm wherever they landed. Among the earliest overseas records were: 1775 - John Claizy (b. 1755 at Lithtillum, near Coldstream, Berwickshire) joined the Royal Artillery, he married Margaret Paulin, and was later sent abroad; their son born in 1786 at Port Royal, Jamaica was recorded as, "William Clizy", son of "John & Margaret Clizy". 1786 - John Clazy baptized at Hutton, Berwickshire, emigrated to Maryland in 1818 and there was shown with the "Clazey" spelling. 1790 - a 2nd child of the Royal Artilleryman mentioned above was born at Woolwich, Kent but was taken all the way back to Horndean, Berwickshire for baptism in early 1791; the baptism record showed the child's name as "John Clazy" but he later chose the "Clezy" spelling; in 1849 he and his family migrated to South Australia. 1832 - George Clezie (b. 1787 at Hutton, Berwickshire) emigrated to Canada, lived for a short time at Montréal, then moved to Toronto, while some of his descendants went south to the United States and settled in Ohio. 1841 - George Oswald Clazey (b. 1816 at Berwick-upon-Tweed) emigrated to New York. 1852 - William Clazie (b. 1821 at Ayton, Berwickshire), emigrated to Upper Canada (now Ontario). 1856 - William Clasey and John Clasey (b. 1836 & 1842 at Latheron, Caithness) emigrated to Ohio, while their sister, Betsy Clasey (b. 1825 at Watten, Caithness), emigrated to Canada West (Ontario); her descendants later moved to Iowa. 1953 - William Clazy McEwen, born 1894 at Prestonpans, East Lothian, a son of Agnes Steven Orr Clazy, became a Presbyterian missionary in Kenya, East Africa, died there and was buried in the Rift Valley. 1973 - Cyril Stephenson Clezy, born 1909 at Strathalbyn, South Australia, died; his burial record showed the surname written "Clezey". '''Today''' ''Clazie'' is the usual spelling in southern Scotland, also in Ontario and California, found as far away as Western Australia. ''Clazey'' is used in northern England and in Maryland, occasionally found in Scotland and New York. ''Clazy'' is limited to descendants of Rev. George Clazy from Paisley, Scotland. ''Clezy'' predominates at Glasgow and Perth in Scotland, also in South Australia and Tasmania, and was found in France in the 1890s. ''Clezie'' (one of the earliest versions in both Scotland and France) is now confined to just a few families in Ohio, California and Idaho, apparently no longer found in Scotland but recorded in France as late as 1899. The goal of this one-name-study is to reconnect people with these various spellings, and to explore how they were related. They simply couldn't agree how to spell it!

Some researchers may even be motivated to go beyond the profile identification and research stage to compile fully sourced, single-family histories of some of the families they discover through this name study project. Although I've been conducting a one-name study with the Guild of One-Name Studies for some years, I've only just set up these WikiTree pages. I'll be adding individuals I have already researched, but could also use your help! Suggestions for specific project areas (e.g. descendants of one individual, all CLOSEs in a US state or even just a county) would be most welcome. WikiTree is currently listing over 2900 individuals named CLOSE (birth or married surname). Around 100 of these are orphaned - Volunteers to take them on are needed!!

We are hoping to find if she is related to the John Clovis/Clobes and Susanna Saylor family. I have doubts that she is an immediate member of their family because she was born before he came to the United States in 1777. It is possible that he brought a family with him when he came as a Hessian soldier but I haven't seen any proof of that. If you know anything about Dorcus we would love to hear from you. *''George Clovis'' [https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Clovis-170]

Submitted by Valerie Crook, , March 1999 The History of West Virginia, Old and New Published 1923, The American Historical Society, Inc., Chicago and New York, Volume III, pg. 38-39 WILLIAM EDWARD CLOVIS. During the past seven years Mr. Clovis has devoted his entire time and energies to a very successful and prosperous automobile business as an author- ized agent for the Ford car in Pleasants County. His career altogether has been one of well directed effort in different lines. He has been a teacher, is former sheriff of Pleasants County, and probably is as well known over the county as any other citizen. His family has been in West Virginia for several generations. The name Clovis was transplanted to Pennsylvania in Colonial times from Southwestern Virginia. His great-grandfather, Conrad Clovis, was born in Pennsylvania, and from that state moved his family to Hebron, West Virginia, where he lived out his life as a farmer. The grandfather of William E. Clovis was Solomon Clovis, who was born in Monongalia County, West Virginia, in 1818, but spent nearly all his life in Pleasants County and was a cabinet maker by trade. He died in 1876 and is buried at Hebron. His wife was a Miss Wrick, a native and life long resident of Pleasants County. Amos Clovis, their son, was born near Hebron August 13, 1854, and since 1885 has been a resident of Maxwell in Pleasants County. He was a merchant in early life, and since then has been a leading farmer and still owns two farms at Maxwell. He is a republican and an active member of the Church of Christ. Amos Clovis married Martha Jane Flem- ing, who was born near Fairmont, West Virginia, July 15, 1856. William E. is the oldest of their children. Dr. Elijah Ellsworth is one of the state's prominent physicians and is now superintendent of the State Tuberculosis Sanitarium at Terra Alta. Cora Elizabeth is the wife of Homer F. Simonton, Circuit Court clerk of Pleasants County. Harry T. is an oil refiner at St. Marys, and the youngest, Maurice Lawrence, is in the drug business at Huntington. William Edward Clovis was born at Hebron, Pleasants County, November 7, 1876, and acquired a rural school education there. He finished his education in the Fairmont State Normal, which he attended altogether for five terms. He was granted an opportunity to teach school at the age of eighteen, and the first year he taught in the Jonestown School of his native county. Then for two years he had charge of the French Creek School, one year in the Ruckman School on Cow Creek, and his last year was spent in his home school at Nine Mile. After leaving the schoolroom Mr. Clovis was deputy county assessor one year. For some time he cherished an ambition to become a physician, and with that in view he entered the College of Physicians and Surgeons at Baltimore, but on account of ill health had to give up those plans after the first year. From 1901 to 1908 Mr. Clovis conducted a mercantile business at Adlai in Pleasants County. In the fall of 1908 he was elected sheriff, and on January 7, 1909, re- moved to St. Marys and was the chief law officer of the local courts through the four year term ending in 1914. During 1913-14 Mr. Clovis was a member of St. Marys Hardware Company, but in the meantime he had taken the agency for the Ford cars, and since 1914 has made this his primary busi- ness. He is the authorized agent in Pleasants County for the Ford automobile, trucks and tractors, and has done the biggest business in that line of any automobile agency in this section of the state. It is estimated that he has sold at least ninety per cent of all automobiles bought in the county. During 1920-21 he erected a handsome public garage at the corner of Washington and Third streets. The garage in 80x80 feet, two stories, and built of brick and concrete. Mr. Clovis is also a director of the First National Bank of St. Marys. He still retains a deep interest in educational progress and since July 1, 1919, has been president of the Board of Educa- tion in St. Marys. He is an elder in the Church of Christ, is a republican, and during the war was a "fourminute" speaker and a worker in behalf of all local patriotic causes. April 16, 1899, at Gibson in Pleasants County, Mr. Clovis married Miss Mary Varner, daughter of George W. and Angelia V. (Daniel) Varner, now deceased. Her father was a minister of the Church of Christ. Mrs. Clovis received a normal school education and prior to her marriage was a teacher in Pleasants County for four years. Mr. and Mrs. Clovis have five children, and have given all of them liberal educational advantages. Eunice Madge, the oldest, born March 4, 1900, is a graduate of the St. Marys High School and the Fairmont State Normal, and is now teacher of the fifth grade in the local public schools. Cora Edith, born October 23, 1901, graduated from the same schools as her sister and now has charge of the first grade in the St. Marys public school. The only son, George A., was born October 25, 1903, and is now a student in Marietta College in Ohio. The two younger children are Martha Virginia, born November 15, 1906, a student in high school, and Mary Edna, born Novem- ber 21, 1910. * [https://books.google.com/books?id=4zUTAAAAYAAJ] History of West Virginia.

It feels like it has been forever since some pages have worked! * Facebook has some wonderful genealogy groups. Most are closed but easy to join. There are groups that deal with family names and other with states, counties and even townships within counties. * Your local library
I have found the services libraries offer can be very different. I have cards to at least four different libraries and the books and services they all have are different. They all offer online material you can access. You need to check out your libraries website to see what is available. In addition to reading books, magazines and streaming music and sometimes movies, they have genealogical materials you can access. I feel really lucky that my local library offers so much. From the comfort of my home I can access Heritage Quest, America's Genealogy Bank, New's Bank as well as many other kinds of information and all I need to do is input my library card number. It is all free. Love libraries! Check out libraries from different cities as well as colleges. You never know what you can access without a library card. There are times you will find a gold mine and others it will be Just rocks.
* State and county websites
The information on state websites vary just like the libraries. There are some states that have vital and land records online and you can download a digital copy for free. Every site is different as well the information they offer. Don't be surprised to go back to the same site in a year or so and find that it has changed. Expect updates and changes especially as different administrations take office.
Message boards
With the inception of groups on Facebook most message boards aren't used very much but here are some that can be checked for clues and you can even post to them.
* Ancestry message boards are free to all * Rootsweb listserve lists. There maybe little to no traffic but they are searchable and can have a lot of information. * GenForum There maybe little to no traffic but they are searchable and can have a lot of information. Free software *DNA Painter [https://dnapainter.com/]
If you have never used a chromosome browser or painter for DNA matches on a graphic display before you need to check this website out. DNA painter allows you to paint, label and store those matches for free. It allows you to match people who you have no clue how you are related to them on your family tree with someone you know how you are related and have them painted and labeled on the graphic. I have have learned this is called triangulation. Some of the DNA websites you have to pay extra to see these results. My Heritage is the only site I have found that it actually shows the triangulation in the basic service.
*DNA Match Manager [http://heirloomsoftware.com/dna-match-manager/]
DNA Match Manager is a beta program that allows you to input all the places that they can down load your match data from. Once you do that it is a matter on pressing a button to download all of your current dna matches to a spreadsheet. Much easier than going to each site and doing it manually.

[[Category:Clyde Name Study]] [[Category:One Name Studies]] [[Category:DNA Projects]] Welcome to the Clyde One Name Study. We are trying to collect together in one place everything about the Carrier surname and the variants of that name. The hope is that other researchers like you will join our study to help make it a valuable reference point for people studying lines that cross or intersect. Please contact the project leader, add categories to your profiles, add your questions to the bulletin board, add details of your name research, etc. === Project Coordinators === *[[Carrier-96|Theresa Carrier]] === Template and Categories === The template for the Clyde Name Study is: {{One Name Study|name=Clyde}} Put this at the top of a profile included in the study. The category for Clydes included in the study is: [[Clyde Name Study]]. If you have included the Template on the profile, there is no need to add the category unless you want to be more specific about the location. In that case, add the state or country to the category. EX: [[Category: New York Clydes]]. If you only know the country and not the state, province or county, just use the country. (Not all states and countries have been set up, so the category may appear on the profile in RED. ===Origins of Name === Meaning of name Clyde: Scottish and northern Irish: probably of pre-Celtic origin, used in Scotland and Ulster as a topographic name for people who lived on the banks of the Clyde river, which flows through Glasgow. The Clyde River is the eighth longest river in the United Kingdom, and the second longest in Scotland. The river name derives from the Gaelic name "Cluaidh", the meaning of which is so ancient as to be obscure. It is believed to be derived from the Brythonic word "clut", meaning "the cleansing one". There was also a Celtic goddess named Clota, who was considered the guardian of the river, and the Roman name for the river was Clota. The "Compt Book" (accounts) of David Wedderburne, merchant of Dundee 1587 - 1630, records one William Clyde, admitted burgess of Dundee in 1580 and the Lanark Register of Testaments 1595 - 1800 records the Will of one Helen Clyde, of the town of Belstaine, parish of Carhike, in 1665. William Clyde married Jane Parkehill at Paisley in Renfrewshire on the 10th February 1682. The first recorded spelling of the family name is shown to be that of Willelmus Clide, witness, which was dated 1493, Memoirs of the Maxwells of Pollok, during the reign of King James IV of Scotland, 1488 - 1513. Clyde also became established at a comparatively early date as a given name among American Blacks. === Location === In Scotland: The name origin is a topographical name for those who live on the banks of the Clyde River. The Clyde River flowes through South Lanarkshire, Argyll, Ayrshire, so it makes sense this is where many of the Clyde families would be concentrated. Today, most Clydes in Scotland are still found in Lanarkshire. In England the Clydes were mainly found in London, Durham, and Northumberland. In the United States: In 1840, there were 44 Clydes in the US with New York (36%) having the highest concentration of Clydes. Pennsylvania (23%) and New Hampshire (16%) came in second; closely followed by Pennsylvania, Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Virginia, Mississippi and North Carolina. In 1880, there were 798 Clydes in America and the greatest number were still found in New York (13%) and Pennsylvania (24%) but secondly also in Ohio, Minnesota, Iowa, Utah territory, California and South Carolina. By the year 2000, there were about 3,432 individuals with the last name Clyde in the US, ranking it number 8,794 for all surnames and relatively uncommon. In recent history the name has been more prevalent in the West, especially in Utah. Clyde is least common in the southeastern states. === Clydes in the Military === The following Clydes fought for the American Colonies during the American Revolution: *[[Clyde-82|Colonel Samuel Clyde]], b. 11 April 1732; d. 30 Nov 1790 The following fought for United States during the War of 1812: Civil War: ===Notable Clydes=== Wikipedia shows the following notable Carriers: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clyde_(surname)%20 *Andew Allan (Andy) Clyde, b. 25 Mar 1892 d. 18 May 1967, Scottish actor at [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andy_Clyde Wikipedia] *Bradley Clyde, b. 27 Jan 1970, Australian rugby player at [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bradley_Clyde Wikipedia] *David Clyde, b. 22 Apr 1955, American baseball pitcher at [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Clyde Wikipedia] *George D.

''Also see the [[#Related Surnames and Surname Variants|related surnames and surname variants]].'' The surname, variations of which are Cobbe, Cobb, Cobson, and Copson, is of early medieval English origin, and is an example of the many early surnames that were gradually created during the Middle Ages from the habitual use of a nickname. In this instance, the nickname, or byname, recorded in Cornwall in 1201 as "Cobba", derives from a term meaning "lump", found in both Olde English and Old Norse, and used to denote a large, well built, impressive man. The equivalent byname in Old Norse is recorded as "Kobbi", and the examples of the surname Cobb or Cobbe found in the eastern counties of England are probably derived from this source. In some cases, the surname may represent a short form of the male personal name "Jacob", from the hebrew "Yaakov", which is traditionally held to mean "he supplanted", from the biblical story of Esau and Jacob. One Joseph Cobb was an early emigrant to the American colonies; he is recorded as a resident of Elizabeth City in Virginia in 1635, having arrived on the "Treasoror" in 1613. The first recorded spelling of the family name is shown to be that of Leuric Cobbe, which was dated 1086, in the Domesday Book of Essex, during the reign of King William 1, known as "William the Conqueror", 1066 - 1087. Surnames became necessary when governments introduced personal taxation. In England this was known as Poll Tax. Throughout the centuries, surnames in every country have continued to "develop" often leading to astonishing variants of the original spelling. ==How to Join== To join the Cobb Name Study, first start out by browsing our current [[#Research_Pages|research pages]] to see if there is a specific study ongoing that fits your interests.

The ''Oxford Dictionary of English Surnames'' says that the name is a variation of '''Copgrave''', which was first recorded in 1277 when ''Richard de Coppegrave'' was listed in the ''Inquisitiones post mortem'' in Yorkshire. Copgrave is a toponymic surname – meaning it's derived from a place name – in this case, the village of Copgrove, north of Knaresborough in Yorkshire. My great-grandmother was a Coggrave. The earliest Coggrave ancestor I have traced so far is Robert Coggrave, who died in 1688 in Hemingbrough, Yorkshire. The other Coggraves I've found during my research have – with only a few exceptions – been from Yorkshire, or have been descended from people born there. ==The project== The Coggrave Name Study is a brand-new project.

First there is “English (mainly Lancashire): habitational name from any of several places named Cowgill or Cow Gill, for example in Cumbria, Yorkshire, and Lancashire; all are named with Old Norse gil ‘narrow valley’, ‘ravine’ with various first elements including Old English cu ‘cow’ and Old English col ‘(char)coal’.” Fair enough, but then another site reckons it is “from the early Medieval English or Olde French "cokille" which means "a shell" or "cockle". This surname may have been applied to pilgrims to the Shrine of St. James of Compostella who sewed shells on their clothes as a sign of pilgrimage. A cockle-hat (with a shell stuck on it) was also worn as a sign of pilgrimage. The second possibility is that Cockle is a locational name (of Cockhill) from a spot thus named in the West Riding of Yorkshire. The name has been corrupted to Cowgill or Cockell in some directories.” And another states that “the chronicles of the Cowgill family reach back into Scottish history to an ancient tribe known as the Picts. The ancestors of the Cowgill family lived in the lands of Cargill in east Perthshire where the family at one time had extensive territories. When the first dictionaries were invented in the last few hundred years, spelling gradually became standardized. Before that time, scribes spelled according to sound. Names were often recorded under different spelling variations every time they were written. Cowgill has been written Cargill, Cargille, Carnigill, Cargile, Kergylle, Cargyle, Carrigle, McGirl and many more. First found in Perthshire, where they were seated from very ancient times, some say well before the Norman Conquest and the arrival of Duke William at Hastings in 1066 A.D.” === A source for main Cowgill lines === * http://cowgillcousins.org/ ==Outside research links== *A link for research help for those with Scottish needs: http://www.americanscot.com/scottish-family-research.php === '''Famous Cowgills/Cogills''' === *https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_W._Cowgill Joseph W. Cowgill From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Joseph William Cowgill (April 24, 1908 – November 19, 1986) was an American Democratic Party politician who served as the Minority Leader of the New Jersey State Senate. He is a 1929 graduate of the University of Pennsylvania and a 1933 graduate of the University of Pennsylvania Law School. He was elected to the New Jersey General Assembly representing Camden County in 1940. He did not seek re-election to a second term in 1941, but instead ran for Camden County Surrogate (Probate Court Judge). He resigned as Surrogate in 1943 to join the U.S. Navy during World War II. Cowgill was an Assistant Camden County Prosecutor in 1945, and served as the Camden County Counsel from 1947 to 1953, and again from 1957 to 1960. He was a Delegate to the 1947 New Jersey Constitutional Convention, and an Alternate Delegate to the 1956 Democratic National Convention. He was elected to the Camden County Board of Chosen Freeholders in 1952;[1] he did not seek re-election in 1955, but instead ran for an open State Senate seat when Bruce A. Wallace retired. In a close race, Cowgill defeated Republican Haddon Township Mayor William G. Rohrer by 290 votes, 54,683 (50.02%) to 54,393 (49.76%).[2] Cowgill again faced Rohrer when he sought re-election in 1959; this time, Cowgill won by 4,092 votes, 61,656 (51.72%) to 57,564 (48.28%).[3] He served as the Senate Minority Leader from 1959 to 1964. In 1963, Cowgill was defeated for re-election to a third term as State Senator, losing to Republican Frederick Scholz by 13,627 votes, 72,873 (54.94%) to 59,246 (44.66%).[4] References[edit] Jump up ^ Fitzgerald's Legislative Manual of New Jersey.

My hope is that other researchers like you will join the study to help make it a valuable reference point for Colepaugh researchers and for those studying lines that cross or intersect.

For a list of profiles associated with the project, please see below under Descendants of Andries Colepaugh. == Surname Variants == Kohlbach
Colebach Early church records contain many spelling variations. However, by the first United States census, the commonly recognized spelling became Colepaugh. == Members == [[Williamson-4939|Erin Klein]] - Project Leader === How to Join === You can join by contacting the project leader [[Williamson-4839|Erin Klein]]. See the section below on '''Project Goals''' and the '''Current Task List''' and '''What You Can Do''' to see where you can help. Post questions and comments to the bulletin board at the foot of the page and add details about your particular area of interest. Be sure to post your '''DNA Tests''' below as well! == Project Goals == The purpose of this study is to bring together any descendants of the Colepaugh family who are willing to work together to establish an accurate Colepaugh family tree by using the best possible sources available for documentation to make new connections. Establish the origins of the Colepaugh immigrant(s) who settled in the United States. The first known Colepaugh immigrant appears to be [[Colepaugh-30|Andreas Colepaugh]] who first settled in Dutchess County, New York. To fully understand the origins of the Colepaugh surname, we need males by the surname to test their yDNA for analysis. Although DNA analysis can assist in determining that two or more participants who have tested their yDNA descend from a common male ancestor, it will not identify the specific ancestor without the use of accurate record documentation used in genealogical research. Work will be needed to collaborate the findings of any YDNA tests. == Current Task List == *Update category page according to WikiTree Name Study policy and style. *Update project page according to WikiTree Name Study policy and style. *Add the categories for Colepaugh Name Study to my profiles. *Update my [[Help:Sources|sources and citations]] from my GEDCOM imports to WikiTree acceptable standards. *Add [[Help:DNA_Confirmation|DNA Confirmation citations]] where appropriate. *Add any other profiles for the Colepaugh surname from my Ancestry Tree. === What You Can Do === *Work cooperatively together with other Colepaugh profile managers to create the best Colepaugh WikiTree possible. *Add the category for Colepaugh Name Study to profiles as explained _____. *Search out original rather than derivative documentation and add [[Help:Sources|sources with proper citations]] to Colepaugh profiles. *Write comprehensive, well-sourced biographies.
