Let's all write in German

For those of us who are trying to improve our German, it would be great to practice by writing. Those who are proficient could help by posting their messages in German, I think.
We learners also should attempt to post in German. If its too difficult English would suffice. Try not to judge us too harshly.
For instance if you are not sure about the translation you could write it like this(it really is a question):

What does everyone think about it. (An was denkt jeden es?)

We could talk about everything from current events to politics to recipes

My grandfather came from Hinterpommern, or the easternmost part of Pomerania. The name may have a Polish or even Russian derivation.

Dick, Hinterpommern is the area, do you know the town name?
There was a Kutz who left the town of Witzmitz, Hinterpommern in 1846 and migrated to Wisconsin. His name was August Christian Fred.

He may be the same one who went to Wisconsin from Oberhagen, which you know about. The Fred may be short for Frederich or? Friederich. The Polish name of Witzmitz (Wiciemitz) is now in Poland.

hello Dick 107
you said that your grandfather came from Pommerania? My grandmother also came from Pommern.
Rummelsburg - Bahnhof str.4. When I still lived in Germany we belonged to The Pommerische Landsmanschaft. - It is a small world - after all...I still go to the Pommersche Landsmanschaft website and I look through the names and places that are related to my family.
Very interesting.......

I wonder if the Pommersche Landsmanschaft also goes by Pommern-L.
Here's the bookmark/favorite for that site if its of some use to you.

Haven't looked at my genealogy stuff in a long time.
Too many toys, not enough time. :-)
