First I have been trying to decide on vacation plans for 1992. There are three good choices available which fit my hobby of Family History.

            1. June 18-20   Pal-Am Conference, Eden Resort, Lancaster, PA

            2. June 27                    Rader Reunion, Rader Chapel, Dulaney, Greeneville, TN

            3. July 7-21                  Genealogical Tour of Germany with Ernest Thode

            If time and money were no problem you could do them all.

Second I have been trying to find a good source of Rader Genealogy in Germany. In this issue you will see a computer program that sort of translates english sentences to German and the results of using it.

Third I took time to publish a book about my Civil war ancestor Henry Rader of Dulaney, Greene Co., TN as a christmas present to my close family. It contains 16 Color Xerox copies of old pictures and 100 pages of family history.

            I started with a chapter detailing the ancestors of Henry back to Casper on the Rader line and further back on other lines. The second chapter was the ancestors of his wife Mary ann Bowers. The next five chapters were the descendants of his five children with each child's line in a different chapter.

            I tacked on to the end the life of my parents and a final chapter the ancestors of my mother, brief as it is.

            The cover is a normal hard bound book cover which a local copy house does for $9 each. They do it while you wait in about 15 minutes. The cost of producing this book is mostly in the color xerox pictures ( 16 each at $1.50 = $24 ). As you can see with printing of 100 pages at around $5 this book cost $38 each copy.

            I printed 20 and have completed 10 of them. I add a personalized introduction to each one so it is to the recipient specifically with notations as to where they appear in the book. Each copy is numbered and signed.

            The final touch was the addition of pages to record future events. These pages are like those found in old bibles.

            The final product makes a very impressive book, and was fun to do.

Fourth The book stopped my progress on other projects for about 6 weeks. The mail really piled up. Thanks for the letters, sorry it took so long to get back to you.

            I had intended to put this newsletter out in early December.

Why Greene County ?

            It was first settled in the late 1700's, Descendants of Adam Rader of Rockingham VA and Casper Rader of Wytheville, VA were among the early land owners in the area. The cemeteries of the area are full of Raders. Rader's Chapel was built for Andrew rader near the turn of the century. Henry , who died in the Civil War, Rader's Log home still stands across the street from the church.

            In short there is a lot of Rader history still intact in this east Tennessee County.

            Future Reunions will be scheduled in other Historically significant areas. Send your suggestions to Jim Rader.

Writing to Germany

I have been told that there are several things you must do to get responses from Germany

            1. Write in German

            2. enclose three (3) International Postal Reply Coupons

            In October I sent four letters to Europe. I enclosed 3 IRC coupons but did not include a German version of my letter.

I recieved responses from all except # 3.

            1. The guild for one name studies suggested consulting the "National Genealogical Directory" and the "Genealogical Research Directory" and further suggested that I write to:           The Anplo-Sune F.H.S. c/o Rev J. Rushtor, 162 Marlon Baton Road, Marlon Buchs Sl7 3PP

            2. The Archive at Ludwigshaven on the Rhein sent the following list of people and which spelling they are working on. Their letter was in German which prompted me to get a German/English dictionary and translate word-for-word.

Writing to Germany

In German

            The problem that I have with this project is that I neither speak nor write the German Language. As you know I do speak Computer and a computer catalog had what appears to be the solution to the problem.

            My Name is James L Rader. I am doing my ancestry research. I request your help. I am compiling a computerized file. The file will contain all Raders in the United States. It will contain all of their ancestors. It has more than 12,000 individuals.

                        RADER - READER - RÖDER - RÖTHER - ROEDER - ROETER

1. Are you searching for Raders in America ?

I would be pleased to help you. ask me you questions. I publish a Rader family letter.

I will print your questions in the next issue of the Rader Letter. I would like to share all of my information.

Most of the American Rader's descend from early immigrants. These

people came to America before 1800. I would like to collect Rader family

histories. I want their Genealogies. I need the Raders in europe before 1800.

2. Do you have genealogies of Raders before 1800 ?

These immigrants to america were German Speaking Lutherans. I do

not know their original German name. The ship log for Casper Rader is a

good illustration of the name. I can not read the German language.

3. What do you think this persons name was in europe?

 

This Signature is from the ship list. It was made out August 13, 1750.

The port was Philadelphia. The ship was named Edinburg. The ship started

in Rotterdam. It stopped in Portsmouth England.

Another example of his signature. This was how he signed his will.

The will was signed 18 May 1812.

I do not read German. I do not speak german. The german version of this letter was generated. A computer program was used to translate this letter.

4. Is the german it created readable ?

Please respond.            I will gladly pay for the expenses. Please answer in english. If you can not write in english respond in german. I will do a word for word translation. I will hire a translator if necessary.

            Return postage is included

                                                            I very much thank you for your efforts

                                                                                                Sincerely

Using "German Assistant" computer program I wrote this letter, which Rainer-Fischer kindly edited and returned.

2. Dr. Martin Jordan Kl., Löbingsgasse 7, D 6900 Heidelberg

Dear Mr. Rader

I cannot imagine what made you write to me, but I gladly answer your letter.

1. I am not interested in any Raders in America.

2. I have no Rader genealogy in Germany. The closest to that name is a

Johann Adam Röder in Handschuhsheim, who came to this place near Heidelberg from Tyrol about 1735, married three times, but left no male offspring.

3. The name in the signature is Johann Caspar Rötter in the ship list and Caspar Röter on the will, probably not written by the same hand.

Your computer translating program you best return to the fellow who sold it to you and ask for your money back. Without the English text I should not have been able to understand its meaning.

"Sehr geehrter Herr Rader,

Ihr Schreiben vom 16.11.91, in dem Sie nach Vorfahren Rader suchen, habe ich erhalten. Ich freue mich, von einem Genealogen aus USA Post bekommen zu haben.

Zu minem Bedauern muß ich Ihen aber leider mitteilen, daß ich nach Durchsicht meiner Unterlagen keine Angaben über die von Ihnen gesuchten Personen und Familien machen kann.

Für Ihre weitere Forschungsarbeit wünsche ich Ihnen viel Erfolg.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen"

My rough translation

much honoured Mr Rader,

Your letter of 16.11.91, in which you ask about Rader research,

I might have. I like to recieve and enjoy genealogy mail from the USA.

Unfortunately I inform you that I don't feel I have any evidence of help.

None of my data would be useable about that person and family.

for your further research work desire I to you much success.

with friendly [Grüssen]

The Germans in Colonial Times by Lucy F. Bittinger Heritage Books, Inc. 1986

            (continued from last quarter)

            In 1726 another large emigration of Palatinate Mennonites took place ... tide of immigration into Rotterdam from the Phalz to PA.

            The Tunkers from Schwarzenau came to PA in1719... 10 years later the rest followed. in 1723 they had a religious journey to kindle again the old flame of devotion -- It was to the banks of the Schuylkill, to Falkner's Swamp, Oley, Connestoga, that these apostles of the Dunkers went.

            In 1718 -- Jesuit fathers were sent to Liegnitz -- to convert the Schwenkfelders-- for 7 years -- the 3 brothers Von Bynschance set sail for PA in 1733

            A certain Jean Pierre Purry, of Neufchatel in Switzerland -- the Carolinas -- Purry collected 170 Switzers to settle at the mouth of the Savannah River

            Hans Riemensperger, who was instrumental in bringing many persons, chiefly orphans, as redemptioners into Saxe-Grotha settlements -- of Carolina

            the last Germans to settle in a body in the province of South Carolina --- Stumpel procured 500-600 poor Palatines -- in the spring of 1764 2 ship-loads arrived at Charleston

            in the autumn of 1742 -- Sebastian Zauberbuhler --- in Speyer, the old Palatinate -- advertized -- recruted 300 Pfalzer and Wurtemberger -- settled the, at Broad Bay, Massachucetts -- many of the settlers took their families with them to Nova Scotia

            New Germantown, MA -- the arrival in the Christmasitide of 1753 of the pioneers of "Frankfort on the Kennebec" by 1756 most of the emigrants had served out their passage money and were able to buy themselves farms

            Fryeburg, on the New Hampshire border from Bernese Oberland

            the little flock of Moravians in the Main woods, a half dozen families went from Main to settle in Salem, North Carolina in 1767 - - - two years later 300 people left Waldoboro and went to Buffalo Creek, Cabarrus County, North Carolina.

            These devout Lutherans - - in the Tyrolean Alps - - in 1729-32 30,000 of them were exiled from their homes - - The catholic Archbishop of Salzburg, Leopold, Count Firman - - - their children were taken from them to be brought up in monasteries in the Catholic faith -- 20,000 settled in Prussia -- 11th March 1734 the ship Purysburg landed at Charleston - - they settled about 25 miles up the Savannah River - - - a number of their countrymen joined them in 1735

            a large transport arrived in 1741, not only Salzburgers, but Swiss and Pfalzer as well - - there were about 1,200 Germans in the colony of Georgia - - - in 1752 a large number of Germans came to St. Matthaeus's parish - - they were Wurtembergers led by Rev. Mr. Rabenhorst

            The emigration of Pennsylvania Germans to North Carolina - - they came overland through the valley of Virginia - - - the first fringe of German settlement was overleaped by the Scotch-Irish who pressed the frontier, but they were again passed by the Germans who settled in extreme western counties of North Carolina - - no ship loads came - - the emigration was not from Germany but from Pennsylvania, and came slowly, drop by drop The Stedmans, an English firm owning many of the vessels which sailed from the ports of the Low Countries - - - by the middle of the century rivalled the horrors of the slave-trade in its callous cruelty

            on these crowded foul ships, during the long voyage ( three moths was the usual time), with poor and insufficient food the death rate was frightful. In the years 1750 and 1755 Saur notes that 2,000 corpses were thrown into the sea --

            adult people bind themselves in writing to serve three, four, five, or six years for the amount due from them - - - But the very young people must serve until they are 21 years old.
