heligoland

[Peonie]

Hi all,

we have quite a few queries about Helgoland/Heligoland. I found a site where they talk about finding Familienstammrollen (Pedigrees) of Helgoland families. If you click translate on your tool bar it gives you an English translation which is not too bad.

Kpt. Erich-Nummel Krüss

    * Telefon: (0 47 25) 4 96
    * Telefax: (0 47 25) 8 10 96

Perhaps greyingrey, who lives in Germany and has offered to do phone calls could be contacted to find out, what exactly is available from Mr. Krüss.

A t  Familysearch  http://www.rootschat.com/links/08tz/   you can order a film for the Stammrollen. I don't know if they are the originals or if they were filmed after restoration.

Perhaps the results could be posted here, that new posts can refer  to it. 

Regards Peonie

To redroger I believe that German was used for the registrations - our family have certainly the tradition that they had the name schwartz but they were scots and british citizens and all records here call them black.
To paeonie - thanks I'll try that   Phyl

Thanks Phylscot for the information. I thought that might be the case, something for those who have connections with the island to be aware of.

Greetings from New Zealand

My name is Sam Kupa and am searching for records of my great great grandfather  Charles Louis Spitzenberg (or Karl Ludwig Spitzenberg) who was born in Helgoland on July 18th 1833. He apparently left and sailed to Samoa in the Pacific via New York. He married and died in Samoa and are trying to trace his lineage, parents, siblings etc. Can anyone help???
Kind regards

Sam
