Notes
My source for the information about Friedrich and Johanne'sparents is the book: "Lists of Emigrants From the Former Duchyof Braunschweig [or Brunswick]; Not Including the City of Braunschweigand the County of Holzminden, 1846-1871."
Beginning in 1846, all prospective emigrants from the Duckyof Braunschweig were required to post a notice of their intentto migrate in local newspapers. Four weeks after the noticeappeared, they were able to apply for a passport. The practiceended in 1871 when the Duchy of Braunschweig became a part ofthe state of Niedersachsen (Lower Saxony) which in turn becamea state of the country of Germany.
In 1971, Fritz Gruhne compiled the above book using these noticesas a starting point. He then consulted the parish records tomatch up emigrants with their parents, birth dates, children,etc.
In the forward to the book, Fritz notes that emigration reacheda high point in 1854, slowed considerably and then took offagain after 1871, the year that Germany became a country. (Noteto prospective emperors, when it comes time to proclaim yoursovereignity, don't do so in hallowed ground of your conqueredenemy. In this case it was the Palace of Versailles that EmperorFriedrich received his crown. 48 years later, the French wouldtake their revenge on the Germans by signing the Treaty thatended the war in the same place. This treaty was a major contributingfactor in Hitler's rise to power.) The destination of theseemigrants was largely North and South America with more thana few sailing to the opposite side of the planet, Australia,to make new homes.
From 1846-1871, 2954 men, 1863 women and 2488 children emigratedfrom the Duchy of Braunschweig. Quite a few of them migratedto the State Center, Iowa area. According to an article by theGoettingen genealogical society, many names of the early settlersare 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/chronik_bartshausen0.htm
Lots of Baies and Hartwigs still live there. Although the siteis in German, the photos are still quite interesting. When lookingat them I couldn't help but think how little the communitiesof State Center and Bartshausen have over the years.
