[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Reposting data without special characters; Re: Germans in Denmark

[Jerry Frank]

The special characters did not come through on the posting so here it is 
again, modified to be more readable.

German names of interest:
Aul, Bloch, Braun, Buss, Duesterhoeft, Ferle, Guertel, Hauer, Hiller, 
Ittermann, Janke, Karger, Karow, Kelm, Kirsch, Klisch, Krebs, Kublik, 
Leschnewske, Lueck, Maev, Majeske, Manke, Neumann, Patzer, Petsch, Radke, 
Rau, Reichswald, Richter, Rinas, Schmidt, Schmidtke, Seehagen, Seide, 
Selch, Weidmann, Weinkauf, Weiss, Welke, Wolf, Zielke und Zimmer

---------------------------------------

The search fields are as follows:
Efternavn = Surname
Fornavn = Given name
Bopael  =  Place of residence (in Denmark)
Erhverv = Occupation
Foedelokalitet  = Place (or region) of birth
Foedeland = Native land

Only one of these fields is needed for the search, but it would probably 
not make much sense to search by other than "Efternavn", "Foedelokalitet", 
and "Foedeland". When searching by "Foedeland", one has to use the Danish 
country names:
Germany = Tyskland
Poland = Polen
Russia = Rusland

The search results are shown as follows:
Efternavn (see above)
Fornavn (see above)
Erhverv (see above)
Foedelokalitet (see above)
Foedeland (see above)
Foedselsar = Year of birth
I DK fra = (Residing) in Denmark from (year)
Bopael, lokalitet = Place of residence, locality (in Denmark)
Amt, region = County, region
Lov af = Date of statute or act (by which the person received citizenship)
Tillaeg = Appendix or addendum (I don't know the right word to use)
Loebenr. = Serial number
Benaerkninger = Remarks

The "remarks" section gives information about different matters, such as 
how and/or why the person came to Denmark - name of spouse, if any - how 
many children, if any - etc.

A search for all immigrants from "Polen" in the field "Foedeland" returns 
2254 results. "Rusland" returns 1265, and "Tyskland" 19198 results. A 
search for "Volhynien" in the field "Foedelokalitet" returns 6 results only.

The search results are not shown by a certain number (10, 20, etc) per 
page. For instance, all 2254 results from Poland are shown on one page, and 
not in any particular order. It is not possible to sort the results by any 
field. In my opinion this is a major drawback.

I hope you will be able try out the search engine for yourself now, and if 
you have more questions please don't hesitate to ask them. Have fun.
