Schug’s
Baumholder Bulletin
Baumholder week 2 April 8, 2007 Vol. 1 No. 2
Cousins,
Our Baumholder cousins have
connected the dots. Jutta (wife of Kunz)
and Ursula had coffee with Horst Conrad who published a 500 page book on the
Families and Residents of Boumholder. It
is full of family genealogies from Baumholder dating back to the 1700’s . Baumholder is celebrating its 850th
year. Horst Conrad found documents on
Karl Schug (1825-1869) at age 23 left for the US
in 1848 with 200 Thalern (Prussia
currency). I do not know if this was a
lot of money, if it was his inheritance or seed money. I have not received the documents to date.
So far from
the Book I have found:
- John
Schug (1774-1834) was not born in 1791.
He was a bit older the Louisa Kirsch Schug (1794-1888). His occupation was Wagnerschield
(Carriage (wagon) Maker). His
Father John Peter Schug (1746) was a Schmiedemeister (Forger-Iron worker).
- That
Rausch –Karl’s (Charles wife Catherina last name) mean intoxicated (drunkard) in
English.
- Have
many new Schug’s genealogies in Baumholder. When I get them figured out I will send
you an ancestor chart. (Have you
sent me yours?)
- History
of the Schug home that survived the 1888 Baumholder fire. One of only two that did. That the house burned down in 1910, was
rebuilt and that apparently families don’t move much in
I sent an email
to a bookstore in Baumholder to get a copy of the Horst Conrad book. Names of the 15 pages they have scanned so
far has family names of: Jost, Rausch, Kirsch, and Neumann. The photos of houses were taken in the
1930’s. I have attached two samples.
Ursula was busy
typing her family line from Wilhelm (1811) to present. Jutta
daughter of Helmut Schug (1913-1992) & Kunz Luthar her husband has
just emailed some family pictures of Wilhelm (1882) children Erna (left) Frieda
(right) Albert (back) and Helmut (front) and Wilhelm Schug (1882).
Mentioned also
that Frieda Schug (1905) has a daughter in Texas that they will send me her address.
Ursula commented
that I had solved my Baumholder puzzle, I wrote back stating the puzzle only is
getting bigger.
I shared with
them that I was keeping the cousins I knew updated. I assume they are doing the same.
Cousins, I have
thought about emailing Walter Schug of Schug Winery to see if he would consider
putting in his news letter an add for Schug’s who descend from Tuscarawas Ohio
or Baumholder Germany to contact us.
Their must be a few more cousins out there. Walter Schug probably has the best Schug
mailing list in the US
if not the world. Any volunteers to
assist? We can figure out the details
later.
Hope you are
having a Happy Easter.

Is this now a
Blog? Am I a Blogger?
This week I
received pictures and a scan of Karl Schug’s birth certificate.

Helmut (1913) in the front.
Next is confirmation that the Karl Schug left for the US Prussia
Finally the” Baumholder book” by Horst Conrad I think is going to be
mailed to me by Jutta, Lothar and Ursulsa.
Ursulsa said that there is no publisher so no way I can order one but
they will mail me a copy. The book is over 500 pages of pictures homes
and families of Baumholder.
I have not taken action on the Schug Winery idea. But Suzanna Byrens Oei is looking into the idea. More latter.
Note the passing on March 9th of Otto Schug (1937-2007) an
Attorney by Occupation, in Indianapolis
IN. Everett
Yours,
Chuck
