Notes
My source for the information about Friedrich and Johanne's parents is the book: "Lists of Emigrants From the Former Duchy of Braunschweig [or Brunswick]; Not Including the City of Braunschweig and the County of Holzminden, 1846-1871."
Beginning in 1846, all prospective emigrants from the Duchy of Braunschweig were required to post a notice of their intent to migrate in local newspapers. Four weeks after the notice appeared, they were able to apply for a passport. The practice ended in 1871 when the Duchy of Braunschweig became a part of the state of Niedersachsen (Lower Saxony) which in turn became a state of the country of Germany.
In 1971, Fritz Gruhne compiled the above book using these notices as a starting point. He then consulted the parish records to match up emigrants with their parents, birth dates, children,etc.
In the forward to the book, Fritz notes that emigration reached a high point in 1854, slowed considerably and then took off again after 1871, the year that Germany became a country. The destination of these emigrants was largely North and South America with more than a few sailing to Australia, to make new homes.
From 1846-1871, 2954 men, 1863 women and 2488 children emigrated from the Duchy of Braunschweig. Quite a few of them migrated to the State Center, Iowa area. According to an article by the Goettingen genealogical society, many names of the early settlers are still found in the Braunschweig area.
Recently I found a website for the community of Bartshausen, Johanne's home town. The address is:
http://huenerberg.homepage.t-online.de/
Lots of Baies and Hartwigs still live there. Although the site is in German, the photos are still quite interesting. When looking at them I couldn't help but think how little the communities of State Center and Bartshausen have changed over the years.
