       Comments for: Joseph Schlegel   (Josef, Colonist)
         Acquired plot G 18/7 in Aug. 31, 1766, moving from          
         Julianenebene G 14/16.                                      
                                                                     
         Letter of Sept 8, 1991 from Werner Tams:                    
             230 years ago the Danish King Friederick the V opened up
         new territory in the Schleswig part [of Schleswig-          
         Holstein].  He had advertised far south in Germany and in   
         the Reinland and Hessen area.  He set aside free land.  The 
         people came [including] our ancestor Josef Schlegel with his
         wife.                                                       
             They first settled in Fockbek, near Rendsburg; then came
         to Neuborm.  Came from Muschel Back, Baden-Baden, near      
         Carlsruhe, the trip taking five weeks with oxenwagons, pots,
         tools, and plows.                                           
             They spoke Schaebish ["Schwabish", i.e., dialect of     
         Schwaben region], a dialect of southern Germany completely  
         different from Plattdeutsch (Low-land German).  The         
         newcomers had to learn Low German, the language of that     
         region.                                                     
                                                                     
         "But we are all Bormer" -- "Schlegels" would be Colonists of
         the Mierhof (pp. no. 3, 4)                                  
                                                                     
         Letter of Renate Marquardt (22 JUL 2002):                   
           Joseph Schlegel was a tailor. He came to Rendsburg on 8   
         AUG 1761, then to Gottorf 20 MAY 1763 as a reserve colonist.
         He got his first place on 6 SEPT 1763 in Julianenebene G    
         14/16 up to 14 AUG 1765.  Then he went "out of land" because
         he was afraid [he could] not earn his bread. [He] probably  
         [went] to Dithmarschen (not far away), because there farm   
         laborers were [sought(?)]. He came back and got G 18/7 in   
         Neuboerm on 31 AUG 1766. .... Most of the colonists -- 108  
         -- came from Durlach.                                       
        
       Comments for: Maria Eva Scholl Schlegel
         Margaretha Schlegel Gasman may be only a stepdaughter       
           ("stieftochter").                                         
         Apparently moved to live with Margaretha in Fr. Wiese when  
           husband Joseph Schlegel died.  She later died there.
