MessageHi Ron! Great to see this is all up and running and continuing to provide a very useful service for the Wendish community.

Let's continue to explore opportunities for synergistic projects.

Don't forget to visit the Texas Wendish Heritage Society's new website - the Wendish Research Exchange. Visit it at WendishResearch.org. And also visit ResearchProject.info for more information on joining that effort.

MessageI am in the US, but 'my' Wends came to Australia in the 1850-1860 migration, so my 'Wendish' self-identification will be Australian. My cousins and I have recently discovered each other and we're having a GREAT time!

@Jack Grueschow - have been working hard to follow AUS Wends on Ancestry.com. Find me there. Maybe I can help. Also check out Wendish Heritage Society of Australia

@Liza Supra - Wow! Your family was probably WITH my family on the Peter Gottefroy 1859, which dropped some passengers in South Africa before continuing to Adelaide, South Australia! You've found Passenger lists, right? I could help.

Great resource!!

MessageHi: Just wanted to say that I am Dawn Marie Hentschel Dobring Renaker - Cooper - My Grandmothers Madien name and her Maried name, My Mothers Madien name and Married name My maiden name and Married name. I know its a mess.

Anyway - Dobring - Wendish. My uncle Martin Dobring did a Wendish English Dictionary. If you want to contact him please give me an address and or a phone number where he can contact someone. He is the one that has traced and visited the wends. I know that my Grandfather John Martin Dobring came from Pembrook Canada. I have not met anyone from his side of the family. I would be nice to know If I have any relatives in Pembrook. I know our family home there was burned down. Not sure what happened as to why it burned down. There was the last time my mom went there a part of the chimney that was left at the old homestead. Anyway - I can't be of much use to you, but my uncle the historian can be.

Dawn Marie
