Guten Tag, Leute!
Ich hoffe, es geht Ihnen gut. Es ist schon lange her, seit ich zum letzten Mal das Gottscheer Plauderzimmer besucht habe. Ich möchte Sie aber nur fragen, ob jemand von Ihnen Die Gottscheer Zeitung liest? Können Sie diese Zeitung überhaupt rechtszeitig in Amerika lesen?
Ich kann Ihnen sagen, dass In Koèevje/Gottschee noch immer sehr warm ist, der Herbst ist wunderschön, die Farben sind prächtig, aber wir bereiten uns schon auf den Winter vor. Dieses Jaht sollte der Winter sehr früh kommen. Die Schwalben sind schön längst nach Afrika geflogen.

We had beautiful weather this past week with temperatures in the 70s. But today is rainy - drizzly - and cool My son was here from England this past week, and he was overjoyed, because he's quite fed up with all the rain they've been having over there. He didn't feel so bad going back today because of the rain here.

The last time I was in Gottschee was in 1963! It wasn't a great experience in those days - before they wanted tourists to come. The food was unforgettable for all the worst reasons, and I had a film taken out of my camera by the police because I was photographing where I wasn't supposed to -- on a street. I'm told it's very different now, but I haven't really wanted to go back anymore. I was interrogated for four hours when I applied for a visa in Zürich back then! But, a lot has changed in the past 40 years.

Hello everyone, I live in Melbourne Australia and have only discovered the Gottschee connection. I found the village name Lachina in a web site created by John Gladitsch. Does anyone know what the words Gemeinde Stockendorf mean. Is it a district or a municipality? Has anyone been to this place or heard of it. I was told that the village was given the name for creating an antidote against malaria using the china plant. (pronounced "keena"). There are also a lot of Lachina folk living in the USA - about 300 at least.
Thank you John Gladitsch for all the work you have done.

If landwirt meant farmer, what does bauer mean? Does landwirt mean a farmer who owns the land while bauer is just someone who works the land?

Yes, Jim - you wrote it correctly. I just checked it in my Langenscheidts and I'm correct. They give farmer or agriculturist. Just a fancier way of saying Bauer

I have the book pretty much formatted. It is about 250 pages long. I keep hoping for more pictures from people.
- spider-we072.proxy.aol.com - Monday, October 30, 2000 at 02:16:21 (GMT)
Jim Heimann:
I have tried to think of ways to get the information out of the LDS films and onto paper so that it can be worked on at home. You can print the pages individually at the LDS but that is time consuming and, often, the information from one page on the microfilm takes two pages to be copied.
- spider-wn011.proxy.aol.com - Monday, October 30, 2000 at 02:17:37 (GMT)

- A010-1208.KSCY.splitrock.net - Monday, October 30, 2000 at 02:17:56 (GMT)

Yes I dont think there is an other way to do.
- spider-we072.proxy.aol.com - Monday, October 30, 2000 at 02:18:40 (GMT)
Mary Thurman:
Yes it will be for sale. I am going to end up doing it myself, the way it looks. was not happy with the photo copies at the print shop. Unless you want to pay a dollar a page for the picures, and cannot afford to do that. Have to many pages of pictures. I will let you all know when it is done. It will probably be about 20-25 dollars
- spider-we072.proxy.aol.com - Monday, October 30, 2000 at 02:20:27 (GMT)
Jim Heimann:
Margaret, I think most coaches get that way. High stress.
Mary, I also looked into microfilm readers and printers. They are expensive. Finally, I purchased a digital camera. Not enough latitude. Some parts are too light and the others are too dark. If I adjust the digital images, something is always a little off. I will keep trying. It is so much easier to have the information at home. I did copy the entire Unterwarmberg family book and it was very easy to get that information into my file once the pages were at home.

I am going to take my laptop to the library when I start to do more coping. I didnot have it last winter when I was reading most of the Peschel films. At least that will save me writing everything by hand. I have databases set up on the computer to do it on.

Most of that work has been done by other family memebers, and I am only adding the finishing touches, and a little more research in Germany.

Ed & Mary, good night. Ran into some Krockers and Krakers when I researched the name and crossindexed it with Ohio. Unfortunately, birthdates were often lacking and I would have to go to the original records to see if there are any matches with what I have in my file.

Hello and guten abend alles. How are you doing Margaret? The Chiefs let the Raiders get too far ahead. Wish it had been closer.
- spider-mtc-tf024.proxy.aol.com - Monday, November 06, 2000 at 02:20:36 (GMT)
Margaret Jonke:
We are fine here in KC, but disappointed about the uneven performance of the Chiefs. Guess it could be worse. Not too many people on tonight. Wish Pete Jonke would log on. He has a world of info. about our family and some of us may be related to people who log on.
- A010-0760.KSCY.splitrock.net - Monday, November 06, 2000 at 02:22:32 (GMT)
Jim Heimann:
Hopefully he will come on. I think I may have emailed him in the past. The Chiefs needed a running attack and some more defense. Everytime they started to make up some ground, the Raiders would score.

Located some more Kansas City, Kansas Gottscheers on line. Schemitsch. Are you familiar with anyone in your area with that name. It seems to have been changed to Sajnic or something like that.
- spider-mtc-tf024.proxy.aol.com - Monday, November 06, 2000 at 02:26:29 (GMT)
Margaret Jonke:
Jim: Kansas City, Kansas, has many ethnic communities. THere are many Croatian, Serb, even Russians and Poles there. THe Croatian community works very hard to keep alive their heritage with music, art, cooking and a museum.
- A010-0760.KSCY.splitrock.net - Monday, November 06, 2000 at 02:28:44 (GMT)
Jim Heimann:
This particular line stretched back to the 1700's in the Unterdeutschau parish. Came over in the late 1800's and changed their name once or twice since.
- spider-mtc-tf024.proxy.aol.com - Monday, November 06, 2000 at 02:30:53 (GMT)
Jim Heimann:
Do you have an active Gottscheer club in your area? New York, I think, is still active. I moved before I knew much about my heritage. New Jersey has a smattering of Gottscheers but, like me, they are immigrants from Brooklyn/Queens.
- spider-mtc-tf024.proxy.aol.com - Monday, November 06, 2000 at 02:32:22 (GMT)
Margaret Jonke:
Jim: Sorry I can't help you. If I do hear of any people with that name, I'll let you know. I have a friend whose grandparents came from Bohemia. The kids made fun of their last name, so they changed it. Maybe something like that happend to others.
- A010-0760.KSCY.splitrock.net - Monday, November 06, 2000 at 02:32:54 (GMT)
Margaret Jonke:
KCMO has not active Gottscheer club, but there are plenty of us who have an informal group, like the group that went to Cleveland treffen.
- A010-0760.KSCY.splitrock.net - Monday, November 06, 2000 at 02:34:17 (GMT)
Jim Heimann:
I understand about the name change. Even in Gottschee there were variations of the same name based on the language of the parish priest. Bounced back and forth between German and Slovene.

- ashdial-186.suite224.net - Monday, November 06, 2000 at 02:35:08 (GMT)
Jim Heimann:
The informal group sounds good. Do you get together often? Since many of the midwest Gottscheers came over fairly early, were there still some that came over after WW 2?
- spider-mtc-tf024.proxy.aol.com - Monday, November 06, 2000 at 02:36:15 (GMT)
Margaret Jonke:
Holly: That's great! 80 years is certainly a milestone. And many more to come, I hope.

Hi everybody!
- 24.66.13.5.on.wave.home.com - Monday, November 06, 2000 at 02:38:29 (GMT)
Margaret Jonke:
We call all of the people in the informal group "cousins" Not actually, but near enough. In my father's family the older children came before WWII, the younger ones didn't get outt and so spent the war in or near Graz. Lots of interesting stories about that.
- A010-0760.KSCY.splitrock.net - Monday, November 06, 2000 at 02:38:47 (GMT)
Jim Heimann:
Holly, must have sent out eight or nine email "feelers" to bulletin board posters and/or Gottscheers that posted elsewhere online. No responses. Go figure. Did add some names to the file for family lines that seemed to disappear from Gottschee.
- spider-mtc-tf024.proxy.aol.com - Monday, November 06, 2000 at 02:38:52 (GMT)

Ed and Mary Krocker:
Hello everyone!
If you think the Chiefs were bad, you should have seen the Browns! But the Cavs have won their first three games, so there's hope for us Cleveland fans yet!
There was a very nice article and photo in the Cleveland Plain Dealer recently about the Gottscheer Club at Cleveland and told about the history of the club and also the history of the Gottscheers. Very nice!
- mod12.new-philly.net - Monday, November 06, 2000 at 02:38:57 (GMT)
Jim Heimann:
Hello, Ridy. Margaret, only one of my closer relatives came over after the war and he died well before I had enough sense to ask him questions. He was my godfather but I did not know him well.
- spider-mtc-tf024.proxy.aol.com - Monday, November 06, 2000 at 02:40:32 (GMT)
Holly Leers Droese:
Jim,
How is your resettlement input going? that is a daunting project for me. everytime I look at it, I think how much you already have in your computer. I don't even have the family book of Altlag in my computer. I am still working on Tschermoschnitz birth records when I get a chance.
- ashdial-186.suite224.net - Monday, November 06, 2000 at 02:41:06 (GMT)
Jim Heimann:
Ed & Mary, Ernest Koenig faxed me a copy of that article. The place sounds great. Will have to visit one day.
- spider-mtc-tf024.proxy.aol.com - Monday, November 06, 2000 at 02:41:45 (GMT)
Margaret Jonke:
I think longevity is bred into the Gottscheers. All of my relatives (on dad's side) lived to be late 80's or better.Grandma and Great Grandma were 96. And they were fairly active all of their lives.

- ashdial-186.suite224.net - Monday, November 06, 2000 at 02:43:33 (GMT)
Jim Heimann:
Holly, I have gone through the resettlement book and have large chunks of it in my file but only where it links in with the family books and marriage files that I have looked at. It is too bad that the resettlement records are not in a sortable database. I guess 1941 was too early for that.

1967 in Graz and Friedericka (Frieda) Nadler b.10 July 1904
in Ort #4-d. 20 Jan. 1986 in Graz. Sister Elfriede was the grandaughter of my grandmother's brother Georg Nadler who
was a soldier killed in WW 1 at age 40 and Josefa Samide (b. 17 Jan.1880-d. Ort#4 7 Nov. 1938. Sister Elfriede joined the Maryknoll Order in 1954 after arriving in the U.S. in 1950. She spent many years serving the poor in
Chile. She was a wonderful person, and despite being in different parts of world always kept the family together with her visits to family members in Texas, Florida , Canada, and Graz. She is survived by brothers Josef, Engelbert, Ernst, and sister Marie Hlawaty all of Queens NY, and brother Arnold of Graz as well as many nieces and nephews and cousins all over.

Franz - I downloaded (is that a word) a map of present-day Slovenia today -- so far I've figured out that Krsk was Gurkfeld; Brezice was Rann; Novo Mesto was Rudolfswert; Maribor and Celje are obvious. But Sevnica and Zidani Most I can't place. Among others

Holly, crosschecked all of my Sterbenz, Kapsch, and Iowa names to see if there is a pattern. The Sterbenz surname was in a lot of parishes while Kapsch was mostly in Tschermoschnitz, Stockendorf, and Unterlag. The Iowa surnames are a smattering of here and there ---- Tschernembl, Unterwarmberg, Pollandl.

Mary, the Sterk surname was mostly seen in the Unterdeutschau/Unterlag parishes. Not very common. The Sterk you mentioned is probably related to Marge Light. Josef Sterk married Margaretha Sterbenz. Maria is probably their daughter.

Holly, most of the information for Marge appears to be heading in the Unterlag/Unterdeutschau area. I have inputted the majority of both marriage files into my file and Georg Sterbenz and Maria Kapsch are not in there. I could recheck since there are a few names that I did not link up.

The following message from Martha Hutter will be of great interest to many of us who visit the chatroom. Mark it on your calendar! I'll have to wait until March to see it in the Toronto area. . .
Our Tri-State TV station 21 has produced an one-hour program titled THE GERMAN AMERICANS, which will be aired on Tuesday Nov. 21, 8PM, PBS channel 21 in the NY area. I was invited to the focus group where the producer explained his intent and we voiced our gripes about German Americans being so
sidestepped by all the Media. The producers actually told us they were trying to change that very practice, and were hoping that people will respond to the program and start a dialog that will find an echo in the public. One step at a time. The program will be aired nationwide on local Public Television stations in March 2001.

I'm fairly certain that basketball was not practiced in Gottschee. But don't forget, they were long-distance walkers - walking was the usual mode of transportation. So exercise was not a problem.

There are a couple of Slovenia basketball players but that is a recent development. Basketball was even a big thing in the US in the 1930's. High school and college but not much excitement on the pro level.

Kegelscheiben or Kegel spielen - I think
- 24.66.13.5.on.wave.home.com - Monday, November 13, 2000 at 03:07:57 (GMT)

Ed's dad bowled twice a week for more than 40 years and really enjoyed it. He was very good and was inducted into our county's Bowling Hall of Fame. He was also inducted into the county Baseball Hall of Fame.

Jim Heimann:
Ed & Mary, are you familiar with the Gottscheer Hall in Cleveland? Do you know if they have a list of Gottscheers who have lived in the area? Ancestry.com has a lot of Gottscheer names in the Cleveland area in the 1910 range but not the birthdates.
- spider-mtc-tc012.proxy.aol.com - Monday, November 13, 2000 at 03:17:02 (GMT)
Jim Heimann:
Just email me with your address and I will serve up the file asap. I compared it with the file that you had done and there were a couple of discrepancies. Teri was going to look into them. I will send you what I have.
There were 10 Krakers in the Ohio 1910 census.
- spider-mtc-tc012.proxy.aol.com - Monday, November 13, 2000 at 03:22:27 (GMT)
Ed and Mary Krocker:
Jim: According to a Sept. 1990 copy of the Gottschee Tree, pages 4 and 5, a large number of Gottscheers settled about 1900 around Holy Trinity Church at 7211 Woodland Ave., and along the shores of Lake Erie. There are at least 100 families listed and they were called the "Woodlanders." Sources were Rev. John Wittreich and Frieda Klocker.
- mod39.new-philly.net - Monday, November 13, 2000 at 03:23:31 (GMT)
Jim Heimann:
Did they list the names of the settlers? If it did, can you send me a copy of the names?
- spider-mtc-tc012.proxy.aol.com - Monday, November 13, 2000 at 03:25:27 (GMT)
Jim Heimann:
Ridy, wasn't much good at bowling either. More of a social event. I think a strike is a strike regardless of the lane. Your neighbor probably appreciated it.
- spider-mtc-tc012.proxy.aol.com - Monday, November 13, 2000 at 03:26:26 (GMT)
Ridy :
That's interesting, Ed and Mary, that they were called the "Woodlanders" because in Gottschee the people in Ebental, Tiefental, Setsch and Kukendorf were called the "Baudnare" (bad phonetic spelling!) because the area where we lived was called "Walden" = Woods

- mod39.new-philly.net - Monday, November 13, 2000 at 03:34:34 (GMT)
Jim Heimann:
Snail mail is fine or you can use email. Either one. I printed out the ten Krakers listed in the 1910 index. Very frustrating. I would bet that 8 of the 10 were from Gottschee.
Good night, Ridy. Take care and wear that helmet.

Franz, das tut mir lied. Did I use that phrase correctly? I am always interested in where "we" settled. Gottscheers originally settled in areas where the manual labor was similar to the jobs they did in Europe -- Joliet for the steel mills, Pennsylvania for mines, Vancouver for the lumbar industry, Iowa for the farming, Brooklyn for the beer drinking ......

Jim: The cousin in on Ed's mother's side and is not a Gottscheer. However, she is interested in genealogy and is always combing around for ancestors, etc., also on her husband's side. Ed's grandparents were the only Gottscheers in this county that we know of. They lived in Pittsburgh, Pa., area for several years, moved to Bridgeport, O., and then came to a little mining community here named Wainwright about 1914. Ed's great-uncle, Joe Kraker (Krocker), also came here and the men worked in the mines.

Hi again - had to go off for a while.
I got a lot of information on hunting when I was in Kitchener this past week. Apparently some German hunters would come to Gottschee anywhere from two weeks to three months to hunt bears, boar, deer, anything that crossed their path. That was before the beginning of WWII, of course.

Hi everyone! Did anyone receive the e-mail from Mr. Tschinkel From Florida regarding the GHGA joining an umbrella group in Austria that supposedly has some former
Nazis in positions of influence ? I'm a little confused , but if what he says is true , then I would be concerned. The GHGA has done a lot of good in preserving Gottscheer
culture , and I've encouraged people to join. I t would be a shame if the progress they've made would be somehow jeopardized. Would anyone like to comment or add any info on this regard?

Hi John -
I got a copy of Mr. Tschinkel's e-mail. I don't know anything about the Gottscheer Arbeitsgemeinschaft -- but I would think the membership should have been notified before the GHGA decided to join any other association. That would have been common practice and any other group I've belonged to. It would also have given everyone a chance to make their opinion heard beforehand.

Do you have any information on the AG? I've been trying to find out what it's all about but haven't come up with anything.

Jim Heimann:
I agree that the allegations are serious. However, I am not sure what Mr. Tschinkel is accusing the AG of. Is it because he doesn't agree with the groups agenda or is there something wrong with the agenda itself. As far as the names he mentioned, that would have to be verified. Hopefully the GHGA will be answering some of our concerns.

I think anyone with info should make it avaiable to members, but what better way than an open discussion. Both sides can explain their positions ,and then everyone can have the benefits of our questions and comments. We are certainly not questioning the good faith of the leadership of GHGA, but there always the possibility that they may have made a good faith error in judgement.

After World War 1 ,the Gottscheer people lost many cultural rights like German language in their classrooms.They could not continue to be members of Gottscheer clubs.they could not run for political office.They asked for help from the Wilson administration to be a sovereign state like Lichtenstein but to no avail.Germany wanted to help protect our cultural rights.

John Tschinkel:
Answer to Charles. I have sent to all of you my booklet. Have you read it critically and hopefully unbiased? The answers to your questions are are all there.
The direct answer is NO. In addition to SS-Sturmbannfuhrer Wilhelm Lampeter as "Honored Member" and "Cultural Adviser" in the AG there are several former Nazis in that organization. In addition the AG is associated with many exterme right wing Associztion as mentioned in E. Nicks letter to you all. Joerg Haider is an active supporter.
I would also like to respond to Bernard who talks about divisiveness and what have I done to further Gottscheer Culture. I am translating the most accurate book on our history for which I am devoting 1 year of my life. I travelled twice to Germany at great expense to get the translation rights which members of the AG tried very hard to prevent. According to Bernard, only effort which is "in line" seems to count. What about the truth??

Bernhard is correct. If it wasn't for the Germans my parents would not have existed. The slovenes, italians, turks etc. have mudered thousands of Gottscheers for hundres of years. As for Nazis a part of the Gottscheer heritage, remember there were many Gottscheers fighting during the war as SS soldiers. They did or else.

JT to Berhard. It is obvious that you have limited knowledge of the history of those times. (most Gottscheer do not because the AG has made it a point to obscure and rewrite it). You have not read my summary of Frensing or if you have are denying its content.
In 1941 Tito and the communists were a marginal factor in Slovenia. Most people had no idea he even existed. you better read some history.

Bernhard,
I understand the discrimination that the Gottscheer people suffered after World War I . What I do not understand was
how the movement of the Gottscheer people from their home of 600 years to a completely different area ethnically cleansed of Slovenes by the Third Reich contiributed to the preservation of Gottscheer. Was it really in the interest of the Gottscheer people, or rather to further the grand
design of the Madmen of the Third Reich. The question being asked ,as I see it, is what role did Lampeter and Lackner and other have in deceiving the mass of Gottscheer people ,and what was the extent of their collaboration with
the Nazi as Mr Tschninkel says recently revealed records show. If this is true then I think we as a group should
look at this ,and raise it with the A G. What is their role
within the AG?

John to Bernhard - you are just repeating what you have heard. Give us some facts. Remember the Gottscheer resettlement was the cause for Ger4man ethnic cleansing of 37,000 Slovene. Onl 1/2 survived the slave labor camps in Germany. Even the SS sturmbannfuhrer Lampeter,in his study on Yugoslav attrocities after the war could not list one single killing of a Gottscheer in the camps the AG keeps talking about.

The Gottscheers didn't have to worry about their property
being nationalized by Tito. Thanks to their Saviors, they
were moved out and lost thier land and cultural community
anyhow. Why didn't the Reich protect them from the Italians.
Was it was because they were in bed with them and ceded the Area to them?

Jim Heimann:
Good evening to everyone. I have read all the messages this evening and there is some truth to most of the statements. Without going into great detail, if there are individuals currently involved in the AG who were instrumental in holding back significant information from the Gottscheers prior to the resettlement, the GHGA should rethink its association with the GHGA.
Yes, I am sure that relations between the ethnic Germans and the Slovenes were deteriorating after WW I. Yes, the situation promised to get worse across time. Yes, whatever decision that would have been made would have had its drawbacks.
But ------ the full extent of the resettlement including its location, and the relocation of the original inhabitants should have been crystal clear to the rest of the Gottscheers. If it was not, and, to the best of my knowledge, it was not---- then the GHGA should have nothing to do with those responsible for withholding that information and propagating misleading and false statements to promote the resettlement.
The other issues about property, politics, compensation are all secondary.

Also, we should be clear as to what may have portended for the resettled Gottscheers. I relate a short email conversation I had with a woman named Rabuse. Her family had moved from Gottschee to Germany well before WW II or the resettlement. Despite considering her family one hundred percent German and had lived in Germany for a generation and possibly more, they were not allowed to join in certain organizations in Nazi Germany.
Can you imagine what would have happened to the Gottscheer culture in general and those Gottscheers with nonGerman names and, God forbid, possibly some nonGerman blood in them?

Jim Heimann:
Hello, Eduard. I agree with keeping the culture alive and that the work of the GHGA and organizations like it is vital to that end. I just have reservations about an association with individuals who may have done the Gottscheers a great disservice in 1941 for their own ends.
I certainly do not deny that many Gottscheers would have been killed had they not done something but they should have been given all necessary information. As recent events in that area have shown, ethnic hatred & distrust coupled with politics have led to many killings and war. I don't think it would have ended any differently in 1941. I think the Gottscheers would have been treated poorly no matter how it turned out.

Jim Heimann:
It was good fortune that the resettlement ended up where it did and I agree that the new area was more conducive to saving lives but the issue is what did the Gottscheer leadership know and how much did they hold back from the Gottscheers while forcing/persuading them to move. If those leaders are alive, they should not be viewed with honor and the GHGA should not be associated with them.
Please, notice there are several "ifs" in the above paragraph. I think more information and discussion is needed before a decision can be made.

I have no interest in arguing individual cases or discuss history with those who defend certain points with a lot of baggage. It is true history that counts. Unfortunately the true events of the loss of our homeland are being rewritten by those who wish to propagate only the perspecive they like. I mean the AG.
I made a task to translate Frensing into English. Twice the formar Nazis tried to prevent it. The GHGA, the association dedicated to our history, to whom I offered the translation for free turned me down.
I think the Gottscheer are being fooled again. The old network still seems to be intact. The unwitting are again being drawn in. I for one protest. Elizabeth Nick labelles my effort as scurrilus words. The AG treathened to sue me as has Avgust Gril. My point: do not disagree with the Gottscheer leadership or else.

How should we view the Nazi collaborators? With honor ?
I for one say we should view them with contempt as decent people of any background should. Moreover Gottscheers should ask ,did they withold the truth and deceive their own people to perhaps further their own power? If so then
the GHGA should make it clear that they condemm these individuals and publically disassociate ourselves from them.
We have a responsibility to preserve the past for our children ,but our children someday will judge our actions
today. I think today my feelings would reflect the feelings
of my deceased grandmother (who had both a deep love for both her family and her homeland) and my deceased father.

This discussion has been going on since the events that precipitated it occurred. As a Gottscheer member of the first generation born after the events of WW2, I must say that I heard both points of view among Gottscheers ever since I was old enough to understand Gottschaerbarish. They have always been heated on both sides. 40+ years has not changed that (apparently); I wonder if another 40 will, or 80, or whatever.
And although I am not as familiar as others on this board about the details of the organizations involved, I have to wonder how much of this is true concern about the Gottscheers' legacy and how much of it is actually furthering a particular agenda.

For the record I do not feel that I "owe" my life, my parent's or grandparent's lives, to any government or regime because of their deeds or misdeeds 50 years ago. Call me naiive but the human spirit is stronger than wars and dictators. Gottscheers were put in the position of making gut-wrenching decisions about their future, and to second-guess what-if this or that would have happened is futile at best, irresponsible at worst.
May I suggest, if you want to preserve the heritage, you should teach your kids or grandkids eine volk lied. That's what our ancestors would have wanted us to remember about Gottschee anyway.

For what it's worth, here is my take: After WWI when Gottschee became part of Yougo., the slovene tried to extinct the german language and culture. Now let's be objective, our folks had no TV, radio and very limited newspaper access and whatever was available was diluted with propoganda and promises. Everyone was trying to hold on to our heritage. Yes there were pro and con's. There was sadness in leaving your property behind, however what was the alternative? Hitler made the deal with Mussolini and that was it. I think not too many were happy after the umsiedlung. As a child I remeber hearing the adaults debating. I think it does not make any sense to debate it now and trying to place the blame. It's over now, we can not turn back the clock, and I agree we should try to hold on to our heritage. Believe me, none of us would want to live the live of our parents. It was hard pioneers life.

We usually cut it with a bowsaw but this year we took one off the lot.

Jim:
Charles, it is a mixture of many sources. Holly's Tschermoschnitz information has the more complete dates. Those names with approximate dates are from the marriage records. There is also information in the main file contributed by others (like your additional information). Once I get the data, I crosscheck it before typing it in. Not infallible but seems to work out well. Genealogy purists would have heart attacks.

One day I hope to find a way to email graphic family trees. They don't have as much information but are easier to track back. Even then, the trees can be quite large and you have to tape the pages together.

Ed&Mary e-mailed recently the address and phone # of a Komutzen childhood friend, Josef Tramposch, I called himthis week. Was he surprised, he said he always wondered where I ended up. Turns out, he is only about 70 miles from me. We are looking foreward to a meet.

Jim,
I think you mentioned you played Hoops. I took off from work one day to go to a Suffolk Legislature Building dedication, which was a reunion of sorts. The best part was after that was over I got to play hoops with a group that I used to play regularly with. I'm proud to report that I hadn't played in more than 3 months ,and wasn't even sore the next day. Do you still play?

Ridy, surprisingly not too much out of the ordinary. Maybe the dancing loosened up the back. Aches but nothing more than usual. John, I play every now and then. No games in awhile. My wife has threatened to maim me if I tear up another knee.

Dear Franz, thank you but it will take more than a few days or lessons to become fluent. I try to study it and see where there are consistent changes from the German. By the way, Josef Trampusch ------ Komutzen#8. If so----- he is your 5th cousin once removed, 6th cousin, sixth cousin once removed. I am distantly related as well.

Jim - according to my husband, there's a fairly reliable formula to change from High German into Gottscheerisch. He says it's not all that hard, once you get the hang of it. That's from the linguist - not from me.

Have you been playing regularly for a long time? I started
to play regularly about about 11 years ago. I think it's something every middle age man should do to overcome mid-life crisis. Actually I'm not real good , but love the competition.
All the Canadians ,Minnesotans ,and other Plains people must have sent us some of their weather this year. This is the coldest late Autumn I can remember in quite a few years.

Patricia - you are correct. Hohenberg is in the Parish of Altlag. If nothing else the Gottscheer Heritage and Genealogy Assn. has the entire Familienbuch for the Parish of Altlag. Chances are that all information you need would be included. I believe it sells for $20.00. If you are interested let me know and I shall gladly give you further information as to where to order. Good luck to you.

To Jim: Hopefully the Browns will do better next year, but we are just happy to have them back. We started doing a couple of traditional things _ on St. Nicholas Day we have the grandkids come to have their shoes filled with candy.

Did anyone in Gottschee make blood sausage, or is that a food from Germany
- spider-wc021.proxy.aol.com - Monday, December 18, 2000 at 03:04:26 (GMT)
Jim Heimann:
spoken like true die hard Brown fans. What is "shipling" bread?
- spider-wf033.proxy.aol.com - Monday, December 18, 2000 at 03:05:15 (GMT)
Mary Thurman:
Is filling the shoes with candy a custom from Gottschee?
- spider-wc021.proxy.aol.com - Monday, December 18, 2000 at 03:05:21 (GMT)
Ridy:
First and foremost, Christmas was a very church-centered feast in Gottschee. Christmas trees were brought by the Kristkind - the Christchild - on Christmas Eve, and it's arrival was announced by a little bell being rung in the large room. When you opened the door, all the candles on the tree were burning (real candles-real fire!) and it was a truly magical sight! My grandmother apparently used a twig from the Christmas tree, and a small container of holy water, to bless each and every animal in the barn, and then on Christmas Day she went out into the fields and blessed each of the fields, giving thanks for the harvest that fall and praying for a good harvest the following year. There was also a special bread which was baked before Christmas and which stayed under the tree until the last day of Christmas, the Feast of the Three Kings, and on that last day each member of the household ate a piece of that bread and each animal in the barn also received a piece of it for good health and good luck.

My wife is Italian and we do some of the Italian customs like the antipasto filled with sausage and cheese along with cheeses and other goodies. The Xmas eve we do seafood.

The shoes were filled with candy and other goodies for St. Nikolaus; and yes, when pigs were slaughtered the blood was used to make blood sausage. Delicious!

- spider-tj014.proxy.aol.com - Monday, December 18, 2000 at 03:13:26 (GMT)

I have seen some blood sausage in Colorado, that is made in small casings and has rice in it and it is terrible. Mom always made our casing our of old sheets, so they would be thick enough.

Food for Christmas generally included ham,chicken, goose - and even venison, I'm told. There were lots of baked goods, the nut breads and Darbei Pobolitse - which is much like a Strudel, but very rich and delectable. No calories, either!

Leise rieselt der Schnee,
Still und starr liegt der See,

Freue dich, 's Christkind kommt bald!
In den Herzen ist's warm;
Still schweigt Kummer und Harm.
Sorge des Lebens verhallt;
Freue dich! 's Christkind kommt bald!
Bald ist heilige Nacht,
Chor der Engel erwacht;
Horch nur, wie lieblich es schallt,
Freue dich, 's Christkind kommt bald!

Strahle, du Stern überm Wald,
Freue dich, s'Christkind kommt bald!

Interesting, I just used Granny Smith apples for the first time in my Apple Strudl ... motivation: My new Apple peeling machine can't handle any of the soft variety ... not a bad choice ... I embelish the recipe by serving it hot, with Ben+Jerry's best Vannila Ice-Cream (Ben+Jerry's factory is a half mile down the road), Whip-Cream and Rasberry Syrup ...

Sophia thanks for the help I am looking forward to hearing from Helen. In the meantime is there a way to find out where and if a family was relocated during the war?? I have read some messages stating many never came back to the region but stay in touch. Also if anyone has info on Hohenberg I would appreciate all details you would care to share. I believe my great grandmother mary magdalena Fink was born there in 1875 and was wondering how to find a family house number from that era. I realize the family may no longer be there at this time. As I am just beginning this search I appreciate all info anyone cares to share. Also can anyone tell me if children went by mothers maiden name or fathers name?? her deathe certificate lists her maiden name as Fink but her fathers name as Josef Perz?? Thanks and I hope to find a family connection out there in the new year.

Ed & Mary, I am glad you enjoyed the photo from Komutzen. You asked earlier if I could identify any homes, ours was the one on the bottom left, Walter Krakers was the one on the right, the one on the top facing down was a Kraker as well, the Tramposch was to the left below. there were more houses on the top to left and right. There were also some houses not seen unused where the owners had left for the USA. This is as far as my memory can reach. I will have to consult some of my more seasond relatives.

Want to share with all of you an exciting event. The first ever International Genealogy Conference will be held Sept. 8 to 14, 2001 in Ljubljana. The event is entitled "BRIDGING OUR WORLDS" and is sponsored by the Slovenian Genealogy Society of America and of Slovenia in cooperation with the Gottscheer Heritage and Genealogy Assn. (GHGA) and Federation of Eastern European Family History Societies.
The event is scheduled for the Grand Hotel Union and will include conferences and seminars. In addition an Alpine Slovenia Tour is available along with an optional Slovenian Glories Tour. There will be much time to visit the Archives and learn about genealogy.
If anyone is interested call Kollander World Travel in Cleveland. 1-800-800-5981.
There is plenty of time to get aboard and have a marvelous vacation.

Been having some fun with stray Gottscheers. Locating more Kumps all over the place. One is located in the Austrian Alps, the Tyrolean region. Took the long way around. Nesseltal to Brooklyn to California to Tyrolia. Over one hundred years since they came over. I believe I located the wife in an 1889 Brooklyn directory. Husband was deceased by then.

Dear Franz,
I have been trying to email you about the picture but I have misplaced your email address again. Thank you for the picture. It is nice to see what the town looked like. One day I hope to visit the area and take pictures of whatever I can find. Hopefully in the next two or three years. Thanks again.

Jim Heimann:
Dear Nina,
I did a little snooping in the resettlement records and came up with a little more than you had. Maybe it will help. Franz Schneider was born 5/4/1899 in Moos. His father was Josef Schneider. He married Juliana Hogler born Jan 6 1899. Her village of birth is listed as Gottenitz and her father was Josef Hogler. This information is from the resettlement records.
Gottenitz is a small parish just southeast of Gottschee city. I looked for Gottenitz in my file and I did not have much but there were definitely Hoglers in that town. The first Hogler I have is Georg Hogler born abt 1825. Town of birth unknown. Parents listed as Johann Hogler and Magdalena. He married Maria Honigmann of Tiefental#5 born 12/1835 on 8/28/1854 in the Ebental parish. It is his second marriage. His house number at the time of the marriage is Gottenitz#24.They have at least two children one of which goes on to marry a Maria Schneider from Moos.
This is all educated guess work so take this with a grain of salt. I would estimate that your Juliana Hogler is related to Georg Hogler (possibly a granddaughter). I would also estimate that Georg Hogler was originally from the Ebental or Altlag parish. The other couple, Franz Hogler of Gottenitz#24 and Maria Schneider of Moos, are most likely related to Franz Schneider and Juliana Hogler.
To look further for your ancestors, you would have to look at the Rieg or Gottenitz parish microfilm records. The above information should give you or someone else a good headstart.
If you would like to ask any questions, you could post something on the bulletin board, the chat room or you could email me at DocH301454@aol.com

Margaret, it seems there are more wine making areas than I previously thought. Holly even claims that Ohio has some. Long Island has some good wines but they are overpriced. New Jersey wines are schrecklich (awful).

Holly it is possible that it was no longer a good wine. whites do not have as long a shelf life as reds do.

Ed & Mary were here a little while ago. Ed, is there any way to find out some dates or villages for those people on the list you sent me months ago about the early Gottscheers in Ohio. There is a site online called the 1910 Ohio census Miracode index and it is loaded with Gottscheer names. I can calculate birthyears but I don't know how accurate they are. There seems as if there were a lot of Gottscheers in Ohio in the late 1800's.

That is the name for the plum brandy. Ridy used to drink that all the time while waiting for bears or watching golf games. Franz, you would have to give me the alcohol before talking me into a bear watch.

Melissa Farinaro:
Hi, my name is Melissa Farinaro and I do not know what this thing is about but I came across it while looking for a church that I used to go to when I lived in Ridgewood, NY. I used to attend St. Mathias church and the school therer. I moved away to Maine while I was half way through the second grade. I have been back to the old neighborhood, last January. A lot has changed. I used to live on George street. I was wondering if anyone can help me locate anything on the net about St. Mathias Catholic church. This is the closest I can get. I heard some people mention stuff about St. Bridgets church. I used to go to girl scout meetings at that school and I had an Aunt that lived on Bleeker street. Her name was Mary Peterson and her moms name was Irene Peterson. They were Girl Scout leaders. Could someone please tell me what this place is all about and how to chat with other people on here. I would really appreciate it. I am currently living in California and am 23 years old.

Helooooooo!!!!!!!!!!! Is anybody there? I'm gonna go now, I've got laundry to do and I can't stay out here much longer. It's been fun. So, like um, somebody E-mail me o.k?
I love meeting new people, especially if you live in Ridgewood. I miss it a lot. I wish I never had to move away from there. I left behind all of my friends and relatives in NY. Now, I'm here in California and the weather is damn great! Are you all enjoying the snow and ice and cold bitchy weather?

Hi Holly!
It's the calm befor the storm! I've just completed arrangements for my trip to Kitchener tomorrow, and my first session with my 90-year-old aunt and several cousins is on Tuesday morning.

Holly: The Gottscheers in KCMO are not as organized as in other places. Most of them in KC are my relatives. Some of us went to the treffen in Cleneland two years ago. Marie Wolf was the orgnizer, but she has had a bout with cancer and is now recovering from radiation and chemo. We need a leader!
- A020-0827.KSCY.splitrock.net - Monday, January 29, 2001 at 02:33:22 (GMT)
Ridy :
I was hoping to get them alone, the way I did on my last visit - but it sounds as if other arrangements have been made. Everyone wants in on it now, it seems, so I'm typing up my questions and I shall try to stick to them. But sometimes the different by-ways and sideways uncover interesting stuff. . . .

There was a German club in Norwalk, Ct.but they closed that down and sold it. We were married there. As the neighborhoods change, there is less interest. I would think the GHGA should think of ways to get more of the youngsters interested.

Margaret Jonke. Regarding the discussion on the Gottscheer Plauderzimmer regarding the Gottscheers in your part of the country. The GHGA held its annual meeting in KC perhaps in 1995. It turned out to be a wonderful Gottscheer Reunion and included routine business meetings, a Polka Mass at the beautiful church and an afternoon of socializing, visiting, eating and even some dancing. We had over 100 attending so it appears to me that there are a good number with Gottscheer heritage living in the area. There is no doubt in my mind that they could organize into an active group. Margaret, how about it?
- cp-cache1.cpinternet.com - Saturday, February 03, 2001 at 14:54:54 (GMT)

Fred:
No i do not have a cook book. I started to enjoy cooking and baking when I retired but my wife still worked. Then when she retired, I still continued by helping her in the kitchen. We enjoy doing it together especially when we have company. One of the dishes I like to do is to debone a large chicken or small turkey. I also like to bake pies, bread and yeast cakes. When I was single and living at home, I did not bake as my mother was in charge of her kitchen and no one could compete with her baking.

Mary, regarding your comment on the cookbook. You probably know this already but if you don't Albert Belay of New York wrote a wonderful Gottscheer cookbook - in German and English. It's easy to follow and used often in this house. If you need further information let me know. Have a good week.
And yes Fred I grew up with Sulze too. My parents used to make their own and I liked it. Memories, memories!

John:
The book has very little factual information about Gottschee and the ending paragraph is an insult to any Gottscheer's sense of a "Heimatland,"he says the land now belongs to the original owners,denying the blood and sweat and suffering of the germanic people who developed the uninhabited forest for 700 years.

Am wondering if any of you might have old photos of Gottschee.

Jim Heimann:
On a subject that somewhat vexes me ------ how come the Gottscheer organizations are not very helpful when it comes to genealogy information. Ridy and I have had this conversation but I can't seem to find any organization that is willing to share information about their members. That is beside the GHGA which does a good job of publishing family trees and stories.
- spider-mtc-tf024.proxy.aol.com - Monday, February 12, 2001 at 03:41:02 (GMT)
Jim Heimann:
When I see a contact in Germany and Austria, I will ask if there is a place to email for information but so far no luck. The number of Gottscheers that we know about is the tip of the iceberg. I run across so many Gottscheer names in the SSDI and in the Ohio 1910 census. But without more precise information, it is hard to link them with the old country. These are probably the same families that married in Gottschee and then have no children listed as marrying later on. That is because they most likely moved to other places.

Unfortunately for me I do not recall her first name and do not remember if she had family but I do know that she was a Gottscheerin. Would be nice to know if she may have been the same lady.

sophia, sorry my mom does not remember the name of the boat.
All I know is my mom came from Kletsch, Altlag and my dad from Gehack Suchen. His family was known as "pettersch Poje"
I was born in Brooklyn (YIKES!)New York. Brooklyn was much nicer back in 1954

Jim,sorry, I scrolled down and found your message just now. Yes, I saw my mom today and she confirmed everything you wrote. She had another brother called Alois who went to live with his aunt.My dad had a sister, Mitzi, who died of an illness (?) when she was a child. Thank you so much

Sophia:
Hi John: I know the Hormel company well as we enjoy some of their products. While Austin is located in the southern part of Mn. we live near Aitkin, approximately 2 hours straight west of Duluth. Please encourage your mother to try to remember the name of the ship. Do they have any photos of either Kletch or Gehack? Have they ever returned to visit the Gottscheer region? I hope they, and you, will have the opportunity to do it. You will be surprised at the beauty of the land and the warm hospitality of the people. Have a good week.

Dr. Jim: You raise a good question regarding the matter of sharing the Gottscheer genealogy and information. How about it? Why is that? It is worth thinking about and discussing. So everyone ponder the issue and give us your thoughts on the matter.

Sophia I did not realize you lived so close to my home area. It is about 4 hours inbetween Duluth and Breckenridge so you are about half way. I will see what I can find out about the Juran name.

Hello Sophia
When I see her this weekend, I will ask if she remembers the name of the boat or the month she arrived in America. Only my mom's stepbrother went back overseas in the past decade to visit relatives there.Take care!

Mary, Jim, Ridi, and Carolyn (if you see this), the repeat message means that Caroly's browser has found a way to bookmark not the page, but the URL corresponding with the "send your message..." button with Carolyn's input included. Carolyn if you read this, delete that bookmark or 'favorite' and add instead this url: http://hwk.best.vwh.net/chat/tqchat.html. It's not really hurting anything though.

Ridy, definitely Petsche in Slovenian. Her ancestor married a woman named Rotensteiner so I think something may match up with Gottschee.

Pece is Slovenian and Petsche is German
- spider-wg074.proxy.aol.com - Monday, February 19, 2001 at 03:02:24 (GMT)

There was a good deal of back and forth for the Petsche name depending on parish and the ethnicity of the priest writing the name.

I was doing a lot of 'searching' today and it never ceases to amaze me where you find Gottscheer names. I never knew before that the second Chancellor or Germany, Graf von Caprivi, or more correctly, Georg Leo Graf von Caprivi de Caprara de Montecuculi, traced his ancestry back to Nesseltal! Now does that sound like a Gottscheer name?

Jim Heimann:
Also, I am a little confused about the information in the email. It begins by saying that the father died very early and then she says he was born in 1893 and died in 1972. That would have made him 81 at the time of passing. Not ancient by any stretch but would not classify it as very early either. Am I reading it wrong?

Just returned from my culture weekend. A society by the name of "American Friends of Austria" held a Faschingsball in Chicago where I waltzed into the morning hours, attended mass at the Cathederal followed by an Opera, The Barber of Seville. All in one shot. And that is the reason for beeing late.

Jim Heimann:
Ridy, had a little Pinot Noir from New York, a little Sauvignon Blance from Washington and a Tawny wine from Australia today. The Pinot Noir could have aged a wee bit more, the Sauvignon Blanc was good and the tawny was very good. A little between a port and a sherry. No cigars though. And just a little of each wine lest someone think I might be oenophile of the worst type.
- spider-th034.proxy.aol.com - Monday, February 19, 2001 at 03:44:10 (GMT)
Jim Heimann:
Ridy, could be so. I have been told that I do not have much of a discernible accent but could be identified as someone from the east coast. No Brooklyn accent to speak of. Will work on it.

Franz, good night. Ridy, no pasta. Started out with cheese and dip followed by a pepperoni bread prepared with home made dough. Pepperoni and provolone cheese wrapped inside followed by turkey and all the fixings that usually go with it. Sweet potatoes, corn, mashed potatoes, stuffing, and gravy. Ended with Italian cookies and cake.

Because of the time difference, it's hard for Europeans to actually chat live, but they do leave messages off and on. Also from Australia! But it's after 3:00 a.m. in Europe right now. . . .

Gottscheers tended to use more French words than English - but it is very 'in' to use a lot of English among the Germans. Probably comes for movies and TV. But don't forget, English is a compulsory language in schools over there.

Franz, I am not sure that is good or bad. The fact that it is English becoming more common makes it easier to communicate but it also indicates that American education is foreign language poor. It is there but does not get used very often. I am a case in point. Good training but not used.

Franz, I truly appreciate you taking responsibility for not teaching your daughter the Gottscheer dialect. I am guilty of it as well. Wish would have done it but circumstances and life just got in the way. BUT, it still is not to late. We are not the only ones that failed in this field. There are thousands of others and that is one of the prices you pay when we scatter all over the world. For those of you, in the Plauderzimmer, who may not know this, the Altsiedler Gottscheer Verein in Krapflern by Tschermoschnitz is teaching their children both the Gottscheer and German language and they are loving it. Like I said, it is not to late. Have often thought how wonderful it would be for the Gottscheer organizations in North America to do the same. Something to think about.

You have to talk about it first and then identify people that have that kind of talent and love of teaching. A good start would be to bring it up to a meeting. Most of the clubs meet monthly and have regular agendas. There are quite a few Gottscheers in the Chicago area too. I am wondering if Mr. Rom might have an interest in discussing it.

Franz, do you have a list of the people who were in the club. Maybe there is a core that is still interested. I know the clubs are disbanding because of costs and lack of interest. Maybe the GHGA should look into how it could be revitalized on a smaller scale. The internet should be of help. Sonia, when is the June meeting? I was hoping to hold until the 2002 meeting which is my neck of the woods but I think I might try to get there if scheduling allows.

Hi Dr. Jim: Welcome aboard. I so much appreciate your good logical thinking about so many things. We, in the GHGA have often talked about the need to involve the younger generation. It is up to us, our age group, to make that happen in each of our communities. You see the major organizations have their dance groups, choirs etc. so they already have the base in place. What they need to do is expand it and include the language. It could really work and work very well. We are, I understand, the oldest dialect in the world and for that reason alone it needs to be preserved. There is some discussion about going after some funding to actually produce both a book and spoken words in the Gottscheer language. Anybody out there have any idea where we could apply for such a grant?

What she couldn't do with flour, a little meat and a few vegetables! My Mom being the youngest girl helped her bake bread every week. They made a huge tub of yeast mixture and then made an assortment of bread, rolls, etc.

Dr. Jim. The GHGA worked about 3 years on establishing a Gottscheer Library. The New York Gottscheer organization then came through with St. John's University which now is the depository of all Gottscheer materials that individuals or groups donate. I think you make a valid suggestion. Perhaps they would have funding for the preservation of the language tapes/book. Due to the fact that I work with Mr. William Schauer from time to time I shall gladly contact him. On the other hand Dr. Jim, would be interested in doing it? Nothing ventured, nothing gained, I say.

Now, now, Ridy. Have some calming green tea. My mom had to make prodigious amounts of food for the six of us. I am slightly over six foot tall and am the smallest of three boys. Amazingly, she was as good at lasagna as she was with goulash. Unfortunately, her mother did not pass on any Gottscheer recipes. There was the occasional strudel. Was bread pudding a Gottscheer dish? I never knew what she was putting in that but one serving would stick to your ribs. Not a light dish.

would certainly be interested in helping. William is a distant cousin (almost everyone is) and I have been in contact with him once or twice. We should get his input first before heading in that direction. Does William speak Gottscheerisch?

Lynn - I know what you mean. There is a cream-of-wheat dumpling which my mother used to make, and my kids loved, which I simply cannot get right. My sister, on the other hand, who just barely mastered boiling water, makes them perfectly! Yet I'm supposedly the master cook in the family! Go figure.

Dr. Jim. I do not know if Mr. Schauer speaks Gottscheerisch or not but I think a call to him, from you (had forgotten that you are related and knew that too) just to see what his thoughts are. If not St. John's he might have some ideas on other sources. Could I please ask you to follow through on this and share? I would appreciate it very much.

Jim Heimann:
Lynn,
been working on some Tschernembl data that George Plautz has sent me. Most of it does not tie in with my other parishes but I am putting as much in as makes sense. I do have a question that relates to your family tree----
Margaretha Goestl (estimated birth 1859) of Preriegel#11 marries a Johann Tscherne (abt 1859) of Stockendorf#4 in Joliet on 10.25.1892.
In the Tschernembl records, there is also a Margaretha Goestl near that same time also from Preriegel#11 who marries a Franz Matzelle.
The question is---- could this be the same Margaretha Goestl with Johann Tscherne the second marriage? This only works if Margaretha is born a five of so years before 1859 (but 1859 is only an estimate anyhow).
- spider-wq062.proxy.aol.com - Monday, February 26, 2001 at 03:54:41 (GMT)

Sophia:
Ridy - are talking about Griesnockerln? I agree, they are delicious. I make them quite often and like to keep them in the freezer. I also make huge kettles of Rindsuppe (beef broth) and freeze that too. So, when I need a quick meal its handy. I have no problem with the Nockerln. I usually start out with soft margerine and beat it lightly; add 2 or 3 eggs; beat them into the margerine; add salt and then slowly add the Gries (farina) until it feels kind of stiff, but not to stiff. I then put it in the refrigerator for a good 30 minutes. Bring slightly salted water to boil and I juse a teaspoon to make nice, rounded, smooth Nockerl and drop them into the boiling water. Continue until all are boiling, reduce heat, cover tight for about 25 minutes. Taste to be they are done. I then drain them on paper towels and let them cool before freezing. I am thinking I probably use 1 or 1½ stick of margerine. YOU CAN DO IT. I know you can!

Ridy: Remember a question I asked earlier about Dr. Kneipp. I have a book that was put together by the Slovenian Genealogy Society of Willard, Wisconsin, a large Slovenian settlement area. In there, under the heading Pioneer Medicine they state that every Slovenian home had a copy of Dr. Kneipp's book and it was like their health bible. If the Slovenians had that book why not their neighbors, the Gottscheers? So, Dr. Kneipp must have written a book on the use of plants, trees etc. for healing many various illnesses.
- cp-cache1.cpinternet.com - Monday, February 26, 2001 at 04:07:42 (GMT)

I'm not aware of Dr. Kneipp having written in anything but German. Maybe Latin? But then, I wouldn't have read it myself if my father hadn't encouraged me to read it.

Jim; Here is what I have on Margaretha with your info added pending confirmation. She was older than my great-grandfather who we know was born in 1859, so she was probably born around 1855.
Margeretha Goestel, born Abt. 1855 in Preriegel #11, Unterdeutschau, Gottschee, Austro-Hungarian Empire; died March 20, 1907 in Joliet, Will County, Illinois. She was the daughter of 2. Michael Goestl and 3. Agnes Loretitsch. She married (1) Franz Matzelle. She married (2) Johann Tscherne or Cerne October 25, 1892 in Joliet, Will County, Illinois. He was born Abt. 1859 in Stockendorf #4, Stockendorf, Gottschee, Austro-Hungarian Empire. He was the son of Mathias Tscherne and Agnes Samide.

Dr. Jim. I feel pretty darn stupid now after asking you about Robert Smith. He indeed did retire and it is going to be a huge loss for the Vikings. I appreciated him, his intelligence and his manners. He was a class act.

We're supposed to be on the fringe of it and get 2cm of snow, but no sign of it yet. Usually it all gets dumped on the other side of Lake Ontario. I'm really wishing winter would make a speedy exit - enough already!
My mother used to tell stories about the heavy snowfalls they had in Gottschee, and I don't think anyone had high boots and the kind of warm winter clothing we have now. I sometimes wonder how the children managed to get to school when the snow was up to their armpits!

We were supposed to get snow, but got rain overnight instead. However, the temperature is dropping, and Lord only knows what we'll get next. Too much to hope that it might be spring soon!

Margaret Jonke:
Ridy: Just checked our PBS station. KCMO is getting something about jazz. Wonder why? THis is the week PBS begs for donations. Maybe that's why.

Marilu Peschel Thurman:
Yes Ridy no kids here today. I was at my daughters house this afternoon had a late lunch there. I have peace and quiet here. Will you be in Denver for the conference there.
- spider-wc082.proxy.aol.com - Monday, March 12, 2001 at 02:14:03 (GMT)
Ridy Högler Skyrme:
Our PBS station is asking for pledges as well - I always think that people who support them anyway shouldn't have to sit through all the pledge periods. But it has to be done, I know. I do like a lot of their programs, I just don't like having the programs interrupted. So I tape them. Works fine.
- 24.66.13.5 - Monday, March 12, 2001 at 02:15:18 (GMT)
Ridy Högler Skyrme:
Marilu -- What conference? Where? When?
- 24.66.13.5 - Monday, March 12, 2001 at 02:16:10 (GMT)
Marilu Peschel Thurman:
The GHGA in Denver in June.

Margaret Jonke:
Just typed in Gottschee on Yahoo. 810 listings. Now that should keep someone real busy checking those 810 web sites.
- A010-0797.KSCY.splitrock.net - Monday, March 12, 2001 at 02:20:48 (GMT)
Ridy Högler Skyrme:
No - I'm not planning on that. Right now I'm still looking for a nice, restful cruise somewhere warm. I told my kids this evening that if I could pick up a cruise here in Toronto (Lake Ontario) and just cruise out to the Atlantic and then over to the Mediterranean, that would appeal to me. No land excursions -- just a bag of books I haven't read. That would be my speed.
- 24.66.13.5 - Monday, March 12, 2001 at 02:21:05 (GMT)
Ridy Högler Skyrme:
Margaret -- it seems that there is more and more on the Internet about Gottschee. It never ceases to amaze me -- we were such a small community, just over 12,000 people, and it ceased to exist 60 years ago! We must be doing something right - keeping it alive.
- 24.66.13.5 - Monday, March 12, 2001 at 02:23:33 (GMT)
Margaret Jonke:
Ridy: Warm is the key word. Cruise no. Warm place. YES
- A010-0797.KSCY.splitrock.net - Monday, March 12, 2001 at 02:23:34 (GMT)
Marilu Peschel Thurman:
Margaret, I have probably checked out most of them. Ridy, I was hoping to meet you there.
- spider-wc082.proxy.aol.com - Monday, March 12, 2001 at 02:23:36 (GMT)
Margaret Jonke:
Ridy: THe original group only 12,000. THe children, grand and great grand children must number in the millions by now. Amazing!
- A010-0797.KSCY.splitrock.net - Monday, March 12, 2001 at 02:25:35 (GMT)
Ridy Högler Skyrme:
That was the number left in Gottschee in 1941. There were twice that many over here by then -- in New York, Cleveland, and every other place known to man, it seems!
- 24.66.13.5 - Monday, March 12, 2001 at 02:28:16 (GMT)
Ridy Högler Skyrme:
Sounds like a great idea, Marilu, but Toronto seems to attract visitors like a magnet in the summer, and so far we've got guests coming from Texas, California, and England. My Austrian friends usually give me very short notice and I have a feeling a couple of them will also land on our doorstep this summer. I'm thinking of putting out a sign with a price list on it.
- 24.66.13.5 - Monday, March 12, 2001 at 02:30:54 (GMT)
Marilu Peschel Thurman:
It is amazing how many pockets of Gottscheers there are in the US
- spider-wc082.proxy.aol.com - Monday, March 12, 2001 at 02:31:13 (GMT)
Ridy Högler Skyrme:
And don't forget Canada, eh!
- 24.66.13.5 - Monday, March 12, 2001 at 02:32:02 (GMT)
Marilu Peschel Thurman:
Ridy's Bed and Breakfast. My kids call my house a Bed and Breakfast! lol
- spider-wc082.proxy.aol.com - Monday, March 12, 2001 at 02:32:04 (GMT)
Marilu Peschel Thurman:
Yes Ridy Canada too I should of said North America, that is what I was thinking.
- spider-wc082.proxy.aol.com - Monday, March 12, 2001 at 02:32:52 (GMT)
Margaret Jonke:
Anyone: Having trouble lately with nighttime leg cramps. Just knocks me out of bed sometimes. Anybody got any home remedies for these leg cramps??
- A010-0797.KSCY.splitrock.net - Monday, March 12, 2001 at 02:35:15 (GMT)
Marilu Peschel Thurman:
Margaret lots of calcium
- spider-wc082.proxy.aol.com - Monday, March 12, 2001 at 02:35:44 (GMT)
Ridy Högler Skyrme:
Quinine -
I'm trying to remember the name of the mix that has a lot of it. . .
- 24.66.13.5 - Monday, March 12, 2001 at 02:37:31 (GMT)
Marilu Peschel Thurman:
Ridy do you mean tonic water
- spider-wc082.proxy.aol.com - Monday, March 12, 2001 at 02:38:04 (GMT)
Ridy Högler Skyrme:
Yes -- thanks.... I really am tired!
Guess Jim won't be on tonight - he's no doubt enjoying the warmth down south!
Maybe Holly will log on and tell us about her holiday.
- 24.66.13.5 - Monday, March 12, 2001 at 02:39:18 (GMT)
Margaret Jonke:
Ridy: Right this minute, I'm drinking tonic water with quinine in it. Also tried Gatorade. Any other tips??
- A010-0797.KSCY.splitrock.net - Monday, March 12, 2001 at 02:40:09 (GMT)
Marilu Peschel Thurman:
When did Jim go dowm south? I have seen him online a lot this week.
- spider-wc082.proxy.aol.com - Monday, March 12, 2001 at 02:40:28 (GMT)
Margaret Jonke:
Really must log off. AUf wiedersehen. Bleib gesund.
- A010-0797.KSCY.splitrock.net - Monday, March 12, 2001 at 02:41:26 (GMT)
Ridy Högler Skyrme:
Now that you mention it, Marilu, I'm not sure! I thought he went yesterday.
Good night, Margaret, see you next week!
- 24.66.13.5 - Monday, March 12, 2001 at 02:43:31 (GMT)
Marilu Peschel Thurman:
goodnight Margaret
- spider-wc082.proxy.aol.com - Monday, March 12, 2001 at 02:43:31 (GMT)
Marilu Peschel Thurman:
Well that good be, I have not seen him on today.
- spider-wc082.proxy.aol.com - Monday, March 12, 2001 at 02:44:09 (GMT)
Marilu Peschel Thurman:
I was really looking forward to meeting you Ridy. Sorry you will not be coming to Denver. that was a cute joke you sent.
- spider-wc082.proxy.aol.com - Monday, March 12, 2001 at 02:45:19 (GMT)
Ridy Högler Skyrme:
I'm not really active in the GHGA - but I am a member, of course. Maybe after the book is finished. These days it's been a bit like pulling teeth --
- 24.66.13.5 - Monday, March 12, 2001 at 02:47:21 (GMT)
Marilu Peschel Thurman:
Well I cant say i"m active either, but I am looking forward to meeting everyone, especially the ones I have been chatting with. It is a chance for me to learn more about my heritage.
- spider-wc082.proxy.aol.com - Monday, March 12, 2001 at 02:49:12 (GMT)
Marilu Peschel Thurman:
Of course it is only 150 miles from my home so that makes a difference for me.

Trix in Mn:
Hi Ridy. Long time no hear. Rest your feet, grab a cup of good tea and I will send you some nummy popcorn. Have you been cranking the typewriter? Greetings to all of you too.

Hi Trix

Ridy Högler Skyrme:
Well, if you want to wander further afield, there will be the big Treffen over the Labor Day weekend in New York! My parents used to go to that, because we had so many relatives in the New York area, and I'm thinking about it this year. But then I've learned not to make plans too far in advance -- I didn't even make it to the one here in Toronto last year!
- 24.66.13.5 - Monday, March 12, 2001 at 02:51:50 (GMT)
Marilu Peschel Thurman:
Ridy I know what you mean. the closer I get to the end of this Peschel history, it seems more keeps cropping up. Had to order more passenger lists this week.
- spider-wc082.proxy.aol.com - Monday, March 12, 2001 at 02:52:45 (GMT)
Marilu Peschel Thurman:
My sister and I were talking about going to Ellis Island at the end of September, maybe we should go over labor day instead.

Ed and Mary Krocker:
Hello! We were busy watchiing the Cleveland Cavs again, but this time they won. We watched the German Americans on PBS twice this week, but there was no mention of Gottscheers. Do you know which part Martha Hutter helped out with? It was good, but we had expected something on the Gottscheers and other ethnic German groups.

Ridy Högler Skyrme:
Don't mention food tonight! I've been baking and cooking for the past two days and haven't finished cleaning up after dinner this evening. I'm just catching my breath -- and tracking my son's plane back to London again. I love that web site -- thetrip.com --
- 24.66.13.5 - Monday, March 12, 2001 at 02:54:09 (GMT)
Trix in Mn:
Hi Marilu: I got smart, checked the membership list and noitce your connecton to the village of Bistritz. The Gostilna (Gasthaus - Restaurant) Lackner serves great food. When I was there in June of 1999 met a Gottscheer who lives right across the street. Have you even there?
- cp-cache1.cpinternet.com - Monday, March 12, 2001 at 02:55:54 (GMT)
Marilu Peschel Thurman:
Trix, I have not been there. I have only known my ancestors came from there for 2 years. I hope to go someday. How many houses are in Bistriz today, there were 13 in the records.
- spider-wc082.proxy.aol.com - Monday, March 12, 2001 at 02:57:54 (GMT)
Trix in Mn:
Ridy, you are one busy lady with an awful lot of energy too. I am proud of you. You do great. Isn't it great to be young where flying across the ocean is no big deal. Golly, when I fly to Europe I arrive pretty darn exhausted but happy too.
- cp-cache1.cpinternet.com - Monday, March 12, 2001 at 02:58:33 (GMT)
Marilu Peschel Thurman:
Trix, Pat Sullivan is about a 5th cousin to me also.
- spider-wc082.proxy.aol.com - Monday, March 12, 2001 at 02:58:36 (GMT)
Trix in Mn:
Marilu: Not many, maybe 3. But the area is beautiful, the highway excellent and the hospitality and food outstanding. Mr. Are you related to Pat Sullivan?
- cp-cache1.cpinternet.com - Monday, March 12, 2001 at 03:01:27 (GMT)
Marilu Peschel Thurman:
I found Pat, and he led me on to the history of my family
- spider-wc082.proxy.aol.com - Monday, March 12, 2001 at 03:02:26 (GMT)
Marilu Peschel Thurman:
If there are only 3 houses, I am surprised there is a resturant there.
- spider-wc082.proxy.aol.com - Monday, March 12, 2001 at 03:02:58 (GMT)
Trix in Mn:
I have had some wonderful conversatins with Pat too. Just remember, that the next trip to the Gottscheer region is scheduled for June 12 to 26, 2002. Should be a good time for everybody.

Trix, I am assuming you will be in Denver in June?
- spider-wc082.proxy.aol.com - Monday, March 12, 2001 at 03:07:19 (GMT)
Trix in Mn:
Lets say that I have made plane reservations. It will all depend on how life is at home. I am a fulltime caregiver to my husband, who has Parkinsons. Our son plans to come home and stay with Opa but June is a long way away. I am hopeful and daughter Maria plans to come too. So, I am very hopeful to have the opportunity to meet you too. I hope your ship comes in.
