History of my website



On this page I would like to document important modifications on my website. Thus perhaps also the occasional visitor sees whether there were important modifications since the last visit.

Date Modification
03/18/05 My website is back! I was offline for serveral weeks, but now I'm using webspace at my web hoster, so all internal links will point to my domain.
01/27/04 You can reach my homepage now at "www.Schwabedissen.name". The old "www.Schwabedissen-Online.de" will be available for some more months and then probably deactivated. So please update your bookmarks!
07/17/03 Added 19 new emigrants that I found in the Online Archive of Ellis Island.
06/19/01 My research in Boesingfeld is finished, all church registers are searched through! Today I was in Preussisch Oldendorf and was able to find the missing link of some emigrants (1871 and 1873 to the United States) to the family tree!
05/09/01 We have relatives in Samoa! I was able to add nearly 50 names (descandants of Kurt Meyer zu Schwabedissen, RIN 107) to the database. In addition I received a GEDCOM file from Germany which adds 280+ descendants and relatives of Friedrich Meyer zu Schwabedissen (RIN 104) to the database.
04/10/01 I've been to the Church Office of Boesingfeld today and worked through the Death index. Unfortunately they closed when I was at the year 1875. I was able to add a lot of information and also fixed some bugs. I'm planning a new visit there soon.
04/06/01 An overview of all the emigrants known to me is finished. There were more of them than I ever expected... Still working on the description of the immigrant ships, though.
02/15/01 I added some maps of the area where most of the Schwabedissen family lived and today still lives.
02/11/01 Because of the strong support and interest of the Schwabedissens and their relatives in the USA I now have most of my site also available in English!
01/23/01 I have added all those 804 names, that can currently found through the website of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day-Saints to my database! Well, many names appeared two or more times, but the database has grown by about 450 names. In addition I was able to complete a lot of data.
12/13/00 Since today my entire website can be also searched! Look-up and result page are in English, which shouldn't be a problem for you ;-). The search function can be called from the main page.
11/16/00 I uploaded today a revised version of the family tree. Among other things now also a connection of Boesingfeld to the USA is contained and a connection to the family "Busse" from Werl near Schoetmar. Additionally I was again in the church office in Boesingfeld and searched the marriage register, in order to solve some assignment problems. Start of 2001 I will then research the register of deaths, in order to complete still missing data.
08/06/00 Uploaded a new version of the family tree. This version was created using the program PAF 4.0 which I'm also using now to maintain my database. In addition there's now also a graphical presentation of the family tree for those of you that have JAVA support enabled.
03/05/00 The first version of the family tree is online!
12/13/99 Index of names of the album available, with links to the names in the already published chapters.
09/30/99 Pictures of our vacation 1998 (Tenerife) and 2nd chapter of the album (only in German) available
09/25/99 I made the preface and the 1st chapter of the album online available (only in German)
09/21/99 Received an answer from Starke-Verlag and the permission to publish extracts of the album.
09/09/99 Got my own domain! Now you can reach us at http://www.Schwabedissen-Online.de
08/31/99 Found the Starke-Verlag on the Internet.
08/14/99

Quickly inserted a Counter, so that one can seize the rush also in numbers.
;-)))
