We had a discussion about it in bible study. - 207.200.116.136 - Monday, November 02, 2009 at 02:43:50 (UTC) Mark Hoenigman: Hilde, Thank you for the info for the NOV 10 presentation. I am planning on attending. I could not open the file. I do not have MS VISTA, only the MS Office Word. Sorry I missed you at the meeting today. Mark Hoenigman - 76.190.129.214 - Monday, November 02, 2009 at 01:46:16 (UTC) Margaret Jonke: Guten Abend. CHiefs have a by week. That's good. At least they can't lose. KCMO is sick of the publicity Larry Johnson is getting. I think he should be fired from the Chiefs, but what do I know. Auf wiedersehen. - 99.188.118.4 - Sunday, November 01, 2009 at 15:05:22 (UTC) Margaret Jonke: Guten Abend. Poor Chiefs. Lost again. They looked SO bad today. The head coach probably wishes he were back in AZ.

It is a biggie. Trix - 74.36.52.130 - Sunday, October 25, 2009 at 19:21:39 (UTC) Marilu: I would like to know what the customs were in Gottschee for Nov 1st. - 207.200.116.74 - Sunday, October 25, 2009 at 17:58:56 (UTC) Margaret Jonke: Guten Abend. My father, Leo Yonke, always said he was Austrian. I guess he thought Gottscher was like a regional group in the country of Austria. - 99.188.117.134 - Sunday, October 25, 2009 at 01:35:23 (UTC) Sophia aka Trix: Good Evening. I am looking for photos of the interior of the church of Maria Himmelfahrt in Tschermoschnitz taken PRIOR to the recent renovations. I am particularly interested in photos that show German holy writings on the various altars. Will very much appreciate you sending me copies. If questions please write me at wyants@frontiernet.net Vielen, vielen Dank. Sophia aka Trix - 74.36.52.130 - Saturday, October 24, 2009 at 02:31:18 (UTC) Regina: Hi, Marilu, Hope all is well with you! I wonder what most peoples Baptism certificate says? My Btm. Cert. is not an original so there are no stamps on it that are official. - 24.67.253.209 - Wednesday, October 21, 2009 at 05:31:30 (UTC) Regina: Hi,Sophia in reply to your queery about Gottscheers, I do not tell people I am Austrian. I usually explain I am Gottscheer a group that has lived in now called Slovenija and we had our own language that was unwritten but German was our written language. Germanic speaking but not Austrian. Well enough said! - 24.67.253.209 - Wednesday, October 21, 2009 at 05:27:45 (UTC) Regina: Hi,all! Sophia, the Alter in the church looks fabulous, as I see in the photos you sent in! - 24.67.253.209 - Wednesday, October 21, 2009 at 05:17:55 (UTC) Marilu: In the census records of the people I researched, they listed themselves as Austrians in all the early records. Sometimes, in the later ones they listed themselves as German. once in awhile I ran across a few who listed then themselves a Slovenian in the later censuses. - 207.200.116.7 - Wednesday, October 21, 2009 at 01:06:47 (UTC) Sophia aka Trix: Today I was asked the following question: Do the Gottscheers think of themselves as Austrians? Thank you for your replies. - 74.36.52.130 - Wednesday, October 21, 2009 at 00:38:50 (UTC) Margaret Jonke: Guten Abend. The age of miracles is not over. The KC Chiefs won a game today! Everyone is so happy. Wish everyone a good week. We may have Indian summer this week. Auf wiedersehen.

It was not to be, but the Chiefs forced overtime. - 76.120.163.176 - Monday, October 12, 2009 at 01:34:36 (UTC) Margaret Jonke: Guten Abend. Very chilly here. Hard freeze each night this week.

Yes, it is interesting about the different countries to come on this site. I have a Niece living in Australia! I visited my Brother Joe and he helped me make a map of our Village Reichenau, but I still need to make it a bit smaller and true to an original map. He knows of some very unique ROCKS near our village and I will mark them in on the map. They are carved in to the rock very smooth of a person lieing down, indented into the rock and also one of a person sitting on the rock with hands and legs over the edge smoothly indented into the rock! He use to heard the cattle and found these large rocks in the bushes about 1935 to 1940. - 24.67.253.209 - Saturday, August 29, 2009 at 03:56:32 (UTC) Regina: I hope everyone is having a wonderfull summer!

Great grandson over the pneumonia. Weather in KC is like late September not August. Garden is turning out tomatoes faster than I can give them away. Everything much better here. Auf wiedersehen.

Margaret, hope your husband recovers quickly and gets back to fishing. Concerning the large number of hits from Asia, it could be that a surname or village in the text of Ridy and Arnold's book is matching a popular keyword in Asian countries. I would not read too much into it, though I would be curious as to what the magic word is... It's interesting the countries that provide the most hits to THIS site, some are expected and some are not: 1. United States 2. Canada 3. Germany 4. Nigeria !! 5. Austria 6. Slovenia 7. United Kingdom 8. Cote d'Ivoire (Ivory Coast) 9. Ghana 10. Australia - 76.120.163.176 - Monday, August 17, 2009 at 09:57:41 (UTC) Margaret Jonke: Guten Abend. Did anyone ever get information on Gottscheers in Asia? Been thinking about that. Husband went trout fishing and fell on the rocks. He looks like he's been in a fight. Had to have his face stitched up. Pretty banged up, but will recover. Our great grandson has pneumonia, but is recovering. Pretty hectic week. Hope things calm down. Aug wiedersehen. Bleib gesund. - 99.188.106.167 - Saturday, August 15, 2009 at 17:48:10 (UTC) Margaret Jonke: Guten Abend. Scorching in KCMO. Maybe rain tonight and a little relief next week. Can't wait for fall. Ridy, I never thought of Gottscheers in Japan and India??? Keep me posted. Au wiedersehen. Bleib gesund. - 99.188.113.216 - Sunday, August 09, 2009 at 21:20:41 (UTC) Ridy: I'm wondering if anyone knows of Gottscheers who live in Japan, or India. My web site, www.gottschee.ca, has had more hits from Japan than Austria, but I've never heard of any Gottscheers who settled there. I realize there are Gottscheers who settled in Brazil, and right now the most hits are coming from Brazil. But Japan puzzles me, and so does India. I'm also delighted, of course, to see an interest from so far away. It's a small world, after all!!!! - 64.229.221.238 - Saturday, August 08, 2009 at 15:14:02 (UTC) Helmuth: Thank you to Ridy for the obituary of 100-year-old Stephanie Perz (Lukan), please click on "Blog" above to view it. - 170.201.180.137 - Tuesday, August 04, 2009 at 17:53:15 (UTC) Margaret Jonke: Guten Abend.

There have been many huge restoration accomplishments in the former Gottschee. We can all be very proud of the part we played whether it be through financial contributions or moral support. One of these days we need to compile a list for all to see and enjoy. Take care Paul and love to your bride. - 74.36.52.227 - Wednesday, July 22, 2009 at 17:54:53 (UTC) Paul Brasino: Hi and thank you Helmuth,,,, talk to you soon..... - 68.194.38.26 - Wednesday, July 22, 2009 at 04:02:03 (UTC) Helmuth: Great to see you Paul and Adie!

You can find it on the above web site. If you wish to have a printed copy, you can download each section onto your own computer desktop and print it from there. Please be patient if you find the web site a bit slow. If you have any problems reading any of the sections, please e-mail me at ridy@sympatico.ca. We owe a special thank you to Helmuth Kump for making this Plauderzimmer available to us. Arnold and I met here during one of our regular Sunday evening chats all those many years ago, and our book grew out of that initial encounter. Back then we enjoyed many interesting and informative discussions about our Gottscheer heritage on this Plauderzimmer and formed cyberspace friendships which have lasted through the years. We hope you will continue to enjoy MEMORIES OF CHILDHOOD in this new format. - 64.229.228.50 - Sunday, April 05, 2009 at 12:01:50 (UTC) Ridy: http://www.gottschee.ca/ Arnold Rom and I have decided that the time has come to put our book - MEMORIES OF CHILDHOOD - on the internet, to make it available as widely as possible to any interested Gottscheers. You can find it on the above web site. If you wish to have a printed copy, you can download each section onto your own computer desktop and print it from there. Please be patient if you find the web site a bit slow. If you have any problems reading any of the sections, please e-mail me at ridy@sympatico.ca.

We had 3-5 inches of snow Saturay. Pratt, Kansas, had 28 inches. The blizzard through the mid-west was pretty awful. Sun is out today and it is about 45 degrees. Our younger son, Mark, lives in Fargo,ND, and you know how bad it is there. Whole city is trying to contain the Red River and save their downtown areas. They need prayers. Auf wiedersehen. Bleib gesund. - 12.73.201.92 - Sunday, March 29, 2009 at 18:38:01 (UTC) Regina: HELLO, I WISH EVERYONE A VERY HAPPY 2009 SPRINGTIME!! We finally had a couple of warm days! - 24.67.253.209 - Monday, March 23, 2009 at 05:30:51 (UTC) Margaret Jonke: uten Abend 73 degrees today in KCMO. We may have snow by next Friday. MO weather is very interesting. Flowers are peeking out of the ground. Orchards are hoping the trees don't bud-out. Many years the early warm spell have been disastrous for fruit trees. Have a super week. Easter is very near. - 12.73.201.104 - Sunday, March 22, 2009 at 20:33:25 (UTC) Sharon Eisenzopf: Finally, some nice weather! - 70.76.98.191 - Tuesday, March 17, 2009 at 01:58:24 (UTC) Margaret Jonke: Guten Abend. I am cautiously optimistic that spring is almost here to stay in KC. Several warm days ahead and none too soon. Hope all are well and looking forward to warm weather. Auf Wiedersehen. Bleib gesund. - 12.73.198.102 - Sunday, March 15, 2009 at 20:38:21 (UTC) Sophia aka Trix: Hi Sharon. Nice to hear from you. Same here and very, very cold. The strong winds did not help any either but SPRING IS ON ITS WAY and I am ready. Hope all is well with you and yours. Stay warm. - 74.44.12.236 - Thursday, March 12, 2009 at 03:41:23 (UTC) Sharon Eisenzopf: Well talk about snow. We had quite the dumping over the past 2 days. - 70.76.98.191 - Thursday, March 12, 2009 at 02:49:06 (UTC) Margaret Jonke: Guten Abend. We have summer for 3 days - in the 60's and 70's. Now we're back to the 40's and a bad storm last night. Hard to decide what season we are in. Have a lovely week and think spring. Auf wiedersehen. Bleib gesund. - 12.73.195.106 - Sunday, March 08, 2009 at 19:07:28 (UTC) Helmuth: Hi Hilde, your friend should email me (link above) with their preferred user name and password, and I'll add it. - 76.120.159.28 - Tuesday, March 03, 2009 at 22:01:28 (UTC) Hilde: Good morning everyone, I could not sleep and decided to send a message to our fellow Gottscheers. The weather here in Cleveland was certainly cold and snowy this year, however we all survived the winter so far and we hope that it will be over soon, The Gottscheers at the EOUV had a wonderful New Year's eve dinner/dance, and ushered in 2009 with on a happy note. Fasching was equally as nice and enjoyed by everyone who attended. The children in their beautiful and funny costumes were a delight to have present. Greetings from everyone at the EOUV in Cleveland Have one more questions, I have a friend who would like to sign on to the Plauderzimmer, I already forgot who should be contacted for the log on, password, etc. Can you reply to me at hbrunhilde@aol.com? Thanking you in advance for your help in this matter. Have a wonderful March, - 64.12.117.8 - Tuesday, March 03, 2009 at 08:05:12 (UTC) Margaret Jonke: Guten Abend. 5 inches of snow here in KCMO. Hardly had a flake all winter and then we get 5 inches in one day. Need the moisture, I guess. Can't wait for apring. Hope all are well. Have a good week. Auf wiedersehen. Bleib gesund. - 12.73.196.221 - Sunday, March 01, 2009 at 20:52:35 (UTC) Regina: Hi, Mark, I am very interested in your info. So send me it at drgardner@shaw.ca Thanks - 24.67.253.209 - Tuesday, February 24, 2009 at 07:20:54 (UTC) Margaret Jonke: guten Abend. The last week of Feb. Maybe spring is close. Will be happy to see this winter go. My brother, Louis Jonke, lives in Lansing Michigan. They have had a terrible winter. Ashs Wednesday coming up. Can Easter be far behind? Auf wiedersehen. Bleib gesund. - 12.73.201.130 - Sunday, February 22, 2009 at 19:33:36 (UTC) Helmuth: Excellent explanation, thanks Mark. - 76.120.159.28 - Wednesday, February 18, 2009 at 04:04:19 (UTC) Mark Hoenigman: Trix, I am a certified arborist, specializing in root care, soil health and hazard tree assessment. The problems mentioned about the linden are generally a result of improper young tree development, i.e. pruning. Lindens are great fast growing trees if placed in the proper soil and given proper care. As they develop some pruning may be necessary to develop a dominate central leader and scaffolding branch structure. The tree is headed back (the central leader cut off to about 2/3 of it's original height) in the nursery. This causes the tree to bush out, giving a fuller, bushier look, which most consumers want. As a result these new branches all come out of the central leader/trunk very close to each other. As the tree grows all of these branch attachments in one small area on the trunk make for a weak trunk and branch attachment. The tree then fails, falling or splitting apart. If you are interested I can direct you to some sites to give you more specifics on tree selection, soil preparation, planting and care of the young tree. - 76.190.137.127 - Wednesday, February 18, 2009 at 01:32:52 (UTC) Margaret Jonke: Guten Abend. Had a cold, windy Valentine's Day in KCMO. Nice to celebrate, anyway. Sorry I missed last week. Busy. Our 2 great grandsons have been ill with bronchitis - Max is only 5 months old. They are recovering. Praying for an early spring. Auf wiedersehen. Bleib gesund. - 12.73.201.105 - Monday, February 16, 2009 at 01:51:25 (UTC) Regina: :) HOPE ALL HAD A VERY HAPPY VALENTINES DAY :)!!! - 24.67.253.209 - Sunday, February 15, 2009 at 07:44:03 (UTC) Helmuth: Hmmm Ridy you got a Maple Leafs victory tonight at the expense of my Penguins...but happy birthday anyway! Also happy Valentine's day to all. - 76.120.159.28 - Sunday, February 15, 2009 at 03:45:39 (UTC) Sharon Eisenzopf: Birthday Wishes to Ridy!!!!! - 70.76.98.191 - Sunday, February 15, 2009 at 01:48:30 (UTC) Sharon Eisenzopf: I have a Basswood tree in our yard also, and I know the mess it makes. You don't dare walk outside without shoes after the seeds have dropped. Its a beautiful tree and provides lots of shade but its the seeds that are the problem. Wouldn't be bad if it was planted away from the patio, but the seeds are all over the patio and it must be hard on the dogs feet, I know mine. Birch trees are just as messy too. They drop seeds and the little branches from the wind. But they grow fast though if your looking for shade right away. My favorite tree I have is a silver Maple. Its a small tree but last summer it finally had some runners sprout out of it so I transplanted them and hopefully they have survived the winter. Well I better get back to my cross stitch while Hayden is taking a nap. - 70.76.98.191 - Tuesday, February 10, 2009 at 20:35:38 (UTC) Sophia aka Trix: Thank you all for your great responses. Now I need to decide whether or not I need the additional work with a Lindenbaum. Have a wonderful day. Raining at Waukenabo but above freezing and this IS GOOD. - 74.46.8.254 - Tuesday, February 10, 2009 at 13:18:39 (UTC) Helmuth: My mother has a linden tree at her home in upstate New York. In addition to everyone else's comments, all true, her linden tree had a unique problem: the trunk started splitting as a heavy limb began to separate from the main trunk. We have a couple of screw eyes and turnbuckle in place to pull the limb back up. We tighten it from time to time to keep the limb close to the trunk. It does provide great shade, but it is a lot of work, as others have mentioned. - 170.201.172.69 - Tuesday, February 10, 2009 at 11:53:25 (UTC) Regina: Hi, Trix, about the Linden tree flowers. My Mother picked then and dryed them and used them just like other tea leaves. I think you can buy then in the Health food stores. Marilu, you are right about the trees needing lots of room to grow, but I hope that the beautyfull scent of the flowers will of set the work, and of course the tea. - 24.67.253.209 - Tuesday, February 10, 2009 at 08:46:36 (UTC) Marilu: I have 3 huge linden trees in my yard, they are about 40 years old. I love the smell in the spring, and they would be lovely in the country. They are the messiest trees I have ever seen. First the yard is yellow with pollen, then blossoms fall, then the seed leaves fall all summer. Our lawn is never clean after the seed leaves start to fall. Just wanted those of you who are thinking of planting linden trees, about the mess. - 207.200.116.10 - Monday, February 09, 2009 at 22:08:00 (UTC) Sophia aka Trix: Thank you Regina. Nice to hear from you. What the English name for the Lindenbaum? Is it basswood? I want to plant one too. When do you pick the blossoms and how do you prepare them for making tea? Sophia - 74.46.8.254 - Monday, February 09, 2009 at 18:59:17 (UTC) Regina: Hi, we had a faily nice day not freezing now. About Linden trees, they sure have a history in the Gottscheer past, so when our white Birch died we planted the biggest LINDEN tree I could find at the nursery and it is doing great they grow very uniformaly, no pruning needed. In a couple of years it will give us some shade already. Of course the blossoms smell so lovely in the spring and thy make nice tea also. - 24.67.253.209 - Wednesday, February 04, 2009 at 06:01:40 (UTC) Franz of Vancouver: Sorry Magaret I too cheered for the cards. But it was not to be . - 70.68.174.1 - Monday, February 02, 2009 at 04:39:31 (UTC) Margaret Jonke: Guten Abend. Happy Ground Hog Day. Happy Super Bowl Day. Will spend most of the day in front of the TV. Go Cardinals. - 12.73.201.102 - Sunday, February 01, 2009 at 20:00:48 (UTC) Sophia aka Trix: Here is an inquiry I received today: Does anyone know how old the originl Lindenbaum in front of the church in Tschermoschnitz was? A new was planted a few years ago. THANK YOU. - 74.36.48.226 - Sunday, February 01, 2009 at 01:07:25 (UTC) Sophia aka Trix: Greetings from Minnesota. We are in the middle of a heat wave. Actually had 15 degrees F above today. YIPPEE. I feel like celebrating. For those of you interested in the progress of the restoration of the church of Maria Himmelfahrt in Tschermoschnitz, (now called Crmosnjice), it will celebrate its 500 year anniversary on September 6, 2009. I know that some of you plan to attend the community celebration.Go for it. You will be happy you did. Be sure and take cameras and lots of film. I will be posting a photo of the church on the Kump - Staudacher photo page and blog for your enjoyment. Take care and think Gottschee. - 74.36.54.157 - Wednesday, January 28, 2009 at 23:54:11 (UTC) Margaret Jonke: Marilu: Haven't been on the PZ for some time, so I missed your message. All my relatives on my father's side are from Gottschee. None have the multiple myeloma you mentioned. Only 2 cancers in my rather large Jonke clan - none were myeloma. We always thought it strange that so few of the Jonkes had cancer. Also, longevity runs in the family. Well into the 80's and 90's. Must be a reason, I guess. - 12.73.201.127 - Sunday, January 25, 2009 at 02:38:26 (UTC) Margaret Jonke: Guten Abend. Sorry I have missed logging on to the PZ for several weeks. Just got too busy. Cold here in KCMO. Snow tonight and for 2 days after that. Hoping for an early spring. Auf wiedersehen. Bleib gesund. - 12.73.201.127 - Sunday, January 25, 2009 at 02:29:40 (UTC) Helmuth: Well said, Ridy! Good to "see" you. It is indeed an historic day. - 76.120.159.28 - Tuesday, January 20, 2009 at 22:29:17 (UTC) Ridy: Today it seems that the whole world is saying: Ich bin auch ein Amerikaner.......echoing JFK's words when he visited Berlin, oh so many years ago. CONGRATULATIONS United States of America! - 64.229.177.12 - Tuesday, January 20, 2009 at 15:22:11 (UTC) rrk0106: His name was Josef Rabuse - born about 1872. - 64.12.117.197 - Tuesday, January 20, 2009 at 01:08:06 (UTC) Sophia aka Trix: rrk - What is your grandfather's name? Sophia - 74.44.13.155 - Friday, January 16, 2009 at 06:46:55 (UTC) rrk0106: I received my CD from GHGA on the baptisms of Nesseltal and unfortunately was not able to find my great grandfather. However, Nesseltal was just a guess because I found a lot of Rabuse's came from there. But I'm wondering, has anyone heard of a village that sounds anything like "Jembeck"? Could the village of Schonberg sound like Jembeck to the English ear? Anyone familiar with Gottscheer pronunciation? - 64.12.117.138 - Friday, January 16, 2009 at 03:46:57 (UTC) Marilu: I am wondering if any other families from Gottschee have had deaths in their family from multiple myeloma. There are several types, but they are all in the same family of disease. I have lost 3 first cousins to this disease, a third cousin, and several who are probably 5 cousins or even a little more distant. My first cousins had agnogenic myeloid metaplasia(2) and acute myelomonocyctic leukemia (1). - 207.200.112.76 - Saturday, January 10, 2009 at 18:03:58 (UTC) rrk0106: Sophia - Thank you so much for the picture. It is beautiful! - 64.12.117.75 - Thursday, January 08, 2009 at 12:38:27 (UTC) rrk0106: I would love to see a photo of the village! My e-mail address is rrk0106@aol.com. The names I am researching are Rabuse, Malneritsch and Agnitsch. Wine cellars?? That's interesting. I've heard my great-grandmother loved her wine! - 64.12.116.5 - Thursday, January 08, 2009 at 01:03:44 (UTC) Sophia aka Trix: Yes, I am familiar with Semitsch. If you send me y our e-mail address I will gladly send you a photo of the village.The houses in the background are all wine cellars, many of which belonged to the Gottscheers. What is your family name that you are researching? Sophia Stalzer - Wyant born near Tschermoschnitz, Gottschee in 1936 immigrated to Minnesota in April 1952 Would enjoy hearing from you. - 70.100.93.180 - Wednesday, January 07, 2009 at 18:43:25 (UTC) Marilu: Hi Rhonda, sorry I did not see your name at the end of your previous post. It sounds like you are finding your way around the process of researching. If you need records that GHGA does not have on CD, then the Mormom church films have them. - 207.200.116.69 - Wednesday, January 07, 2009 at 14:30:51 (UTC) rrk0106: My first name is Rhonda. I am awaiting a CD from GHGA on baptisms in the Nesseltal parish, where I think my great-grandfather is from. And I just got some information that a lot of "Malneritsch's" were from the Semitsch parish. Is anyone familiar with Semitsch? - 64.12.117.140 - Wednesday, January 07, 2009 at 02:34:22 (UTC) Marilu: to rrko106: What is your first name? I have done much research on my family and others from Tschernembl parish. But Jim has a huge database on several families. His email is DocH301454@aol.com. He may be able to help you. There are films available from the Mormom church for Gottschee, but I don't know which ones would apply to your family. - 207.200.116.14 - Tuesday, January 06, 2009 at 02:09:59 (UTC) rrk0106: Thank you, everyone for your replys. Actually, I just ordered a couple of items from GHGA that I am eagerly awaiting. My great-grandfather's name was Rabuse, great-grandmother was Malneritsch and her sister's married name was Agnitsch. Marilu, how do I find out about researchers? Rhonda - 64.12.116.71 - Tuesday, January 06, 2009 at 00:38:46 (UTC) Elfriede: To rrk0106: I neglected to mention that my name is Elfriede Stonitsch and I am secretary of the GHGA and I live in Walden, NY. - 64.12.116.139 - Monday, January 05, 2009 at 18:02:26 (UTC) Elfriede: To rrk0106: The Gottscheer Heritage & Genealogy Association (GHGA) was founded in 1993 to preserve the ancestral heritage, culture, history and genealogical records of Gottschee. Please visit our website, www.gottschee.org for information about our activities and publications as well as information about joining our organization. - 64.12.117.79 - Monday, January 05, 2009 at 17:59:50 (UTC) Helmuth: Readers, a new post in the Gottscheer Blog details a new book related to Gottschee. Thanks to Trix for this information. http://hwk.best.vwh.net/gottscheerblog/?p=80 - 170.201.172.68 - Monday, January 05, 2009 at 14:41:39 (UTC) Marilu: I don't know what your name is, rrk0106, but if you do a search for Gottschee, lots of websites will come up. I am asuming that is how you found this site. There are several researchers of Gottschee families, also. Happy New Year everyone. - 207.200.116.201 - Monday, January 05, 2009 at 05:32:55 (UTC) rrk0106: Happy New Year, fellow Gottschee decendants. I am new to this board - is there anyone out there from New York state? I know a lot of Gottschee immigrants settled in Brooklyn, as did my great grandparents. I only found out this wonderful information several months ago - was always told that they were from Austria/Germany. Since finding them on the Ellis Island website and viewing the ship's manifest that listed "Gottschee" as the place of origin, I have been fascinated. If anyone could suggest any ways to get more information on the history, heritage, customs and language of Gottschee, it would be most appreciated. Peace of God to All. - 205.188.116.143 - Monday, January 05, 2009 at 02:34:53 (UTC) Margaret Jonke: Guten Abend. Happy New Year to everyone. I wish peace and happiness fro all of you.

May God keep everyone well - 64.12.116.15 - Thursday, December 18, 2008 at 03:36:19 (UTC) Sophia aka Trix: Thank you Marilu. Great to hear from you and I appreciate your comments. I will now use the big box that I received as a gift. Very, very cold at Waukenabo too. Received about 10 inches of snow with very strong north winds and wind-chill going down to -34F. I was drifted shut and enjoyed 3 marvelous days at home. Merry Christmas and all the best in 2009. - 74.36.55.226 - Thursday, December 18, 2008 at 01:48:53 (UTC) Marilu: The box of kosher salt that I have is Mortons coarse Kosher salt. It says on the box you can use it as you would table salt and canning and pickling salt...teaspoon for teaspoon. It also says for amounts greater than 1/4 cup, increase the amount of kosher salt by one tablespoon for each 1/4 cup. So I would imagine that Kosher salt is made according to Jewish laws, but no difference in how it is used. Maybe someone else knows more. We got about 4 inches of snow on sunday and it has been about 5 F. in daytime, 10 below at night until today. It got up to about 40 F. and most of the snow and ice is gone from the main roads. - 207.200.116.14 - Wednesday, December 17, 2008 at 23:20:54 (UTC) Sophia aka Trix: Greetings to you all. Can someone tell me what the difference is between regular salt and Kosher salt? I am interest in the difference in flavor and/or the strength of the amounts. Are they the same? Why would I want to use Kosher Salt? THANK YOU. Brrrrrr in Minnesota. It is -20F right now. - 70.100.93.95 - Tuesday, December 16, 2008 at 05:54:15 (UTC) Regina: Hi, all, hope to hear from someone tonight. We have had a very mild day today. Hi, Trix did you watch the Hockey game on Fri. nite? I started to watch until the 3rd ining and missed who won! Minnesota or Vancouver? The score was 2 to 1 for Vancouver. Franz in Vancouver did you watch the game? Let me know who won. Thanks! Everyone have a GREAT WEEK! - 24.67.253.209 - Monday, December 08, 2008 at 05:10:00 (UTC) Margaret Jonke: Guten Abend. However, it's only 11AM here in KCMO> Missouri was cremated yesterday in Big 12 championship game. Chiefs are at Denver today. Cold here, maybe snow next week.

We have 7° Fahrenheit but a nice log in the wood stove makes life great. I have received numerous inquiries as to where a person could write to obtain information on the famous concentration camp Sterntal. I am interest in the list of its prisinors, particularly Gottscheers who were housed there during WWII. Would one have to look at both Slovenia and or Grmany? Your help will be greatly appreciated. Please write to me at: wyants@frontiernet.net Thank you all. Best wishes for a wonderful Christmas and a healthy and peaceful 2009. Remember the 500 year celebration scheduled for Tschermoschnitz in September 2009.

Snowing here. - 74.47.159.207 - Monday, November 24, 2008 at 19:17:20 (UTC) Hilde: A very Happy Thanksgiving form the Gottscheers at the EOUV in Cleveland, Ohio.

We are thankful for all the blessings we have in this great country. We have many problems, but I'm sure we will rally. PS Absolutely the worst game the Chiefs have ever played. 54-24! - 12.73.195.94 - Monday, November 24, 2008 at 02:09:32 (UTC) Sophia aka Trix: Helmuth - I have a new e-mail address.

Bleib gesund. - 12.73.196.197 - Monday, November 10, 2008 at 02:08:10 (UTC) Helmuth: Frank, it's remarkable, the historic nature of the election. Listening to the BBC, and hearing from others around the world via email, the US now seems to have a lot of goodwill as a result of the history we made this week. - 170.201.172.68 - Thursday, November 06, 2008 at 13:19:07 (UTC) Franz of Vancouver: You got that right Helmuth. It is going to take a few miracles to get things going in good order again. We wish him the best of luck. - 70.68.167.249 - Thursday, November 06, 2008 at 03:46:03 (UTC) Helmuth: Indeed, Regina and Trix, I told my kids the same thing I told them 4 and 8 years ago: say a prayer for the new president; he will need our prayers. - 76.120.159.28 - Wednesday, November 05, 2008 at 22:10:02 (UTC) Regina: Well, the Democrats WON! - 24.67.253.209 - Wednesday, November 05, 2008 at 05:42:04 (UTC) Regina: sorry, what a new leaf in history. - 24.67.253.209 - Wednesday, November 05, 2008 at 04:51:12 (UTC) Regina: Hello, all our USA Friends! My husband Doug has been watching your election VOTING all day and it is now 8:47 here and it looks like Obama is the new President! What a new leave in History! - 24.67.253.209 - Wednesday, November 05, 2008 at 04:49:05 (UTC) Sophia aka Trix: Helmuth - Thank you for the reminder. Consider it done.

Thanks to Mark Hoenigman who brought it to my attention. - 76.120.159.28 - Monday, October 13, 2008 at 09:32:28 (UTC) Regina: Yes, Marilu, the Alaskan Cruise is wonderfull. Anyone that has been on it say they loved it. So, I think that might be a good start for us too! Yes, I am also in agreement with Franz. Vancouver is a beautifull City but we prefer to live in a smaller city, but it's nice to visit Vancouver! The traffic in Vancouver is much worse then when we lived there. - 24.67.253.209 - Sunday, October 05, 2008 at 04:54:11 (UTC) Hilde: Wanted to say hello to Jim Heineman. Jim, I keep misplacing your e-mail address, please get in contact with me, just wanted to send you a message. Sorry for this, and I thank you in advance for your reply.

Your city is very beautiful. - 207.200.116.7 - Wednesday, October 01, 2008 at 23:14:57 (UTC) Margaret Jonke: Guten Abend. YEAH! The Chiefs won today - they haven't won since October of 07.

Bleib gesund. - 12.73.195.45 - Monday, September 29, 2008 at 01:06:58 (UTC) Marilu: Hi Regina The people that bought the fire truck were Studebaker collectors. they sent a picture back after it was all restored. It sure is a small world. We just came back from a 7 day Alaskan cruise. It was beautiful and cold. We had cloudy weather the whole trip. But Alaska is beautiful! - 207.200.116.135 - Friday, September 26, 2008 at 03:11:46 (UTC) Regina: Hi, Trix, belated Congratulations on your 50TH ANNIVERSARY! Yes, the years go by much to quickly. Hi, Marilu, your note about a Mrs. Gerlinsky in Kamloops, YES the only name in the phone book is a M. Gerlinsky in a Seniors Complex 3B-1100 Glenfair Kamloops Phone#250-374-8702. I phoned at 10AM but no answer. So I think the evening would be better. It sure is a coincident. We just got back from Disney World, Florida, and a 3 day Disney Cruise with husband Doug, daughter Heather, grandson Kyle 7 and Katrina 11 grandaughter. We had a great time. I sure enjoyed the sunshine and am looking forward to get some here at home, we all got sunburned on the Holiday. We all loved the Cruiseship trip, 3days. I sure hope to go on a longer Cruiseship trip soon. Hope everyone is having a great week. Hi, Margaret Congratulations on #2 Greatgrandson! - 24.67.253.209 - Thursday, September 25, 2008 at 17:22:42 (UTC) Helmuth: Congratulations to you and good health to the family Margaret!

Just kidding, but some days... - 170.201.180.137 - Monday, September 22, 2008 at 18:51:46 (UTC) Hilde: We would like to thank everyone for coming to the Gottscheer Treffen in Cleveland.

You're right about the coincidences. - 76.120.159.28 - Thursday, September 18, 2008 at 09:51:40 (UTC) Marilu: I have been reading some history of Kent, Minnesota where I grew up. It seems in 1981 a Mrs. Gerlinsky of Kamloops, British Columbia bought the old 1936 Studebaker fire truck. I know there is someone who uses this plauderzimmer from Kamloops, but don't remember who it is. I am also amazed at the co-incidences in live. - 207.200.116.139 - Thursday, September 18, 2008 at 03:09:45 (UTC) Margaret Jonke: Guten Abend. Torrential rain Thurs and Fri in KCMO.

I was amazed it had taken the spammers that long to figure out the PZ was open-posting. I keep meaning to send you a new picture of the arena site. The site is all clear now, groundbreaking will be in another month I think. - 170.201.180.137 - Thursday, July 10, 2008 at 18:31:10 (UTC) Franz of Vancouver: Boy, these guys sure cause you a lot of extra work.

Just wanted to know, is everyone getting ready for the Gottscheer Treffen in Cleveland? The planning is now underway and it looks like we are going to have many visitors from all over, even Klagenfurt will be represented. so it should be a wonderful Treffen weekend. Now all we have to do is pray for wonderful weather, but the good Lord normally sends us nice weather when the Gottscheers meet. Right? Have a wonderful summer and we will talk again soon. Best wishes to everyone. - 205.188.116.78 - Monday, June 23, 2008 at 04:07:41 (UTC) Sophia Stalzer Wyant: Gottscheer greetings from Minnesota. We are enjoying a beautiful day.

Her mother Mathilda Mauser was married to an older serviceman from the Austro Hungarian army. They fled this area, which was perhaps know as Veil linda - maybe veilika. not sure. and went to Vienna. I am so anxious to find out how to see exactly where she was born. I do believe she was Gottscheer. She later in 1901 came to American via Trieste and settled in Brooklyn. The names are Mathilda Mauser, Teresa or Rose 2 years old Mauser, and Mari Mauser (approx. 9). My grandmother's date of birth is 9/3/1897. - 74.72.115.248 - Saturday, June 14, 2008 at 10:41:19 (UTC) Frances Ringswald: My grandmother Rose Mauser was born in 1897 in Austria Hungary.

He was very new at it and the road looked pretty narrow. He seemed to be really coming along as a Canuck and will be missed by all fans and its very nice to see they are going to honour him with a moment of silence at the start of todays game. - 70.68.203.63 - Saturday, May 31, 2008 at 22:58:29 (UTC) Helmuth: Franz, how horrible about the young Canuck's defenseman who died on his motorcycle. Years ago we also had a talented forward who passed away in a car accident. I understand there will be a moment of silence before Game 4 Saturday. - 170.201.180.136 - Friday, May 30, 2008 at 18:06:20 (UTC) Helmuth: Frances, your post of May 23rd became embedded in your bookmark or "favorite" for the Plauderzimmer.
