how Burgermeister was spelled….. My mother was
born in Bavaria, my grandparents were from Altenmarkt,
and Tittmoning. Thanks jewelgirl

(Genealogy seems to encourage “messes of paper”, doesn’t it?)

I look forward to reading more posts on your new blog, since these first few are only a “prologue” of what is to come…

Happy writing!

Great blog and welcome to the blog-o-sphere. Looking forward to your posts as I also have Polish ancestry.

I will be linking to all of you just as soon as I can, and since some of you are “new” to me I can’t wait to see your blogs, too.

Jewelgirl, to answer your question re: the meaning of Bergmeister…it technically translates as “Master of the Mountain”. I guess I came from mountain-folk. ;-) But, you may be thinking of Bürgermeister, which was possibly a surname but also the name (in German) of a town’s mayor. Not sure on the part about being allowed to marry legally or where that would come from. Nonetheless, I hope to have future posts on the meanings of several of my family’s surnames.

Thanks for all your comments! I’ve been blogging about Gene Kelly for months now (see My Other Blog in the sidebar), but despite many hits there are few comments. This is a great community!

I’m linking you in my H.O.G.S. Blogs section as I believe you are going beyond Genea-Blogging into the HOGS-Blogging zone! WELCOME.

Very interesting and liked the 1908 post, as well as your personal intro.

legally in Germany? Just wondering if the surname breaks
down into an occupation?

I hope I can keep it going, but I have a few ideas up my sleeves. And I certainly have much inspiration all these months as I’ve looked at your blog!
