There is an Althof south of and belonging now to Bad Doberan which is just
west of Rostock.
Another Althof is now part of Coesfeld.
There is a town called Parkentin just SE of Bad Doberan.

Althof --> D-18209 Bad Doberan-Althof, on the rail line about 2 km
southeast of Bad Doberan
Patininen ?-> D-18209 Bartenshagen-Parkentin, the next train stop
about 4 km further east-southeast
Retschau --> D-18211 Retschow, about 6 km south-southwest of Bad
Doberan.

Each of these villages has its own church. Retschow also has a
windmill.

background?Saw a book at the LDS library with map references to
Ostro,Ostrog.There were so many, I couldn't count them.Are there that
many villages with the same names? I believe my grandfather took his
surname from the village.Franz Ostrog. How far is Lobau from Connowitz?

<P> <B>How to Use the Free Translation
Service</B> <P>

Machine translation technology provides you with fast and inexpensive
access to multi-lingual communications. The resulting draft translation
can provide the "gist" of the source text - allowing you to decide if
further translation by a professional human translator is necessary. <P>

This service translates text to
and from English and one of four other languages. English
text can be translated into Spanish, French,
German, or Italian, and vice versa. If
your original text is in Spanish, French, German, or Italian, you can
translate it to English.
<P>

Fill in the form below. The finished translation will be returned to
you by e-mail within 24 hours. Be sure you enter a valid e-mail
address. <P>
<B>Before You Start: Does your web work with "Forms"</B>
<P>
If you are unable to complete the information in our form, below, your
WWW browser does not
handle "forms" correctly. We've found that older versions of Mosaic and
America Online's web browser
fall into this category. Don't worry -- you can still use this
translation service
through e-mail. Just click on <A HREF="xlate_other.html"><B>Free
Translations Via E-Mail</A></B> and follow the instructions carefully.<P>
<B>One Last Note: Special Handling of Accents and Special
Characters</B><P>

On some systems special characters such as "é" may appear as
'=e8' because the host mail system does not support these special
characters. If you get your translation back and it contains
characters like '=e8' instead of "é", check the box below for special
handling, and we will use substitution characters for the special
characters. <BR>

approximately 1000 characters (250-300 words) of text. You can paste in
text or type directly in the box. <P>

<B>IMPORTANT NOTE: </B> For optimal translations, your source text should
consist of
concise, simply constructed sentences, free of ambiguities and idiomatic
expressions. For that reason, basic business style works significantly
better than complex
sentences, or metaphorical, colloquial style.
Also, when sending a machine translated draft to
someone, it is usually helpful to send a copy of the original source text
as well so that
the reader can refer to it for additional help in understanding the
translation. <P>

The machine translations provided by this complimentary service are
designed to provide only the general meaning of the translated text.

Do you have any knowledge of current descendents? For instance, a George
Bohnsack marrying a Dorothy Plate who was born about 1906?

Does anyone know where the name of Crickenberger originated from? It is
very obviously German as my ancestors were "Pennsylvania Dutch"
(Deutsch). I believe in the "early" days, it was spelled with a "K" .
If anyone has any clues , just drop me an e- mail to discuss. Thanks !

There are (at least) three Winsen in Germany: Winsen/Aller, Winsen/Luhe and
Winsen b. Neumuenster. So you have to be more specific. On the other hand
al three are small towns, so they won't differ much...

There are two places I know of in Germany: Winsen (Luhe) south of Hamburg
and Winsen (Aller) Lueneburger Heide (also south of Hamburg)
