Comments: Margaret...your page, with the english translation,
has been great fun for someone finding it so ; difficult to visit
this area. My mother (Edna Ballenthin, Herman's wife) just turned
90, is homebound and I'm ; an only child. I do have cousins in Ratingen
though that really want me to visit. At some point, I definitely will. ;
I've started the page above for the convenience of my family, as my
records have just gotten huge. There is ; more precise detail below and
I do have a little more, but nothing before Johann and Emma/Martha. One
of ; Emma & Martha's nephews came to America. I've been in contact
with his descendents. They don't know ; anything about the Glienke
grandparents either. We are looking for the ancestors to Johann
Ballenthin and ; Emma Glienke. Emma died; Johann married Emma's
sister Martha. In total, there were 14 children, all born in ; GroB
Schwirsen, yet we can't find any records that might give Johann's
parents names, or the full names of ; Emma and Martha's parents. Would
you have any suggestions were we could contact? I'm pouring through the
; microfilms that the LDS church researchers have made available. I've
found a few Glienke's, but no matches to ; Emma and Martha. Absolutely
no Ballenthin's. Of 14 children, they must be somewhere! Would
appreciate any ; assistance you could provide. Regards....Sandra

Liebe Margret, meine Gratulation zu Deinen schoenen Webseiten zum
Kreis Schlawe, die ich eben gefunden habe. Die Seiten sind zwar noch im
Aufbau, aber sie sehen schon sehr verheissungsvoll aus. Wenn es so
weiter geht, und ich wuensche Dir viel, viel Ausdauer dabei, kann sich
jeder, der Interesse am Kreis Schlawe hat, sehr gluecklich schaetzen.
Bitte bleib dran!
Und das, was es schon gibt, gefaellt mir auch sehr gut: Die Optik
sieht sehr schoen aus und die technische Realisierung (Erstellung der
Seiten, Aufbau und Gliederung der ganzen Seiten/Informationen) -man
moechte meinen, Du machst das schon Jahre ;-)- und die Inhalte sind
hervorragend! Mach weiter so, Margret, und Deine Seiten werden mal die
besten Seiten zu Pommern sein.
Liebe Gruesse, Gunthard PS In 5 Jahren Internet mein erster Eintrag
in ein Gaestebuch... Kommentar: Lieber Gunthard, gaanz so dick hättest
du nicht auftragen müssen ;-) Margret

Deine Internetseiten riesig gefreut. Nach einer kleinen Pause bin ; ich
heute mal wieder durch die bekannten Seiten gesurft (Lux, Kunefke, usw.)
und entdecke dieses Kleinod. Es ; ist doch nicht zu fassen, daß es
über unsere schöne verschlafene Gegend immer mehr im Internet gibt.
Meine ; Familie hat mich lange für verrückt erklärt, wenn ich suchte,
mittlerweile sitzen alle gerne mal mit am Computer ; oder bestellen neue
Ausdrucke. Meine Mutter stammt aus Sydow/Gutzmin (Familien Arndt,
Rupp, Ruhmke, ; Schacht: Falls jemand mit den Namen
etwas anfangen kann, bitte schreibt mir!) und wir haben noch Kontakt zu
; den Nachkommen der Rojahns aus Sydow-Neumühlenkamp. In dem
Bereich suchst Du doch auch. Also ich ; freue mich sehr, wenn ich Dir
weiterhelfen könnte. - Viele der Eindrücke, die Du beschreibst, decken
sich ; ziemlich mit meinen. Ich bekomme Lust, wieder hinzufahren. Liebe
