Bruce Warren Schug (11-14-1945 )
Bruce contacted me last October by email after I contacted
his daughter via Face Book. Bruce lives
in Greenville SC. Born in Three Rivers , MI his Schuch ancestors Christian Jacob Schuch (1691-?)
son of Johann Peter (c1665-?) came to America
on the Samuel with his family when it
sailed from Rotterdam to Philadelphia arriving in August 1739. (Dorey
Kathleen Snapp (1952) my wife’s ancestor Lorantz Schnepp (1711-1771) arrived on
the same ship in 1733) The Schuch were from Zweibrucken , Prussia
and immigrated to Bucks County Pennsylvania.
Bruce has an Aunt Dorothy who is the attendant of the Schuch
Family Bible dated 1837. Aunt Dorothy
has ultimately traced their ancestors back to Ulmet and Rathsweiler 13.8 km.
from Baumholder. Close enough to be more
than just kissing cousins. Oh and Yes
Bruce also has tasted the grape from Walters Winery. Welcome
Weyerbacher’s of Baumholder
Surfing the internet last January I discovered the
Weyerbacher Descendants Website. (Weyerbacher.net) Their ancestors from
Baumholder immigrated to Bucks PA around 1751.
When you go to the site click to “Family Origins” then down load and
read Making
of a German American by Robin Errickson and Our Family Origin in Germany
by Warren Wirebach.
I emailed the Webmeister, informed him about Horst Conrad’s
book. He inquired about the
Weyerbacher’s, which I replied were few.
I assume because the family immigrated in the med 1700’s.
If you are in the vicinity of Allen Town PA on July 12th
and you feel like crashing a family reunion I am sure you will be more than
welcomed.
Library Research Finds Gems.
Background :Beginning in 1939 several villages were
demolished and families evicted for the development of the Baumholder Truppen
bugsplats (Baumholder Military Training Area). Some of the villages that
disappeared were: Includes Aulenbach, Ausweiler, Breungenborn, Ehlenbach,
Erzweiler, Frohnhausen, Grünbach, Ilgesheim, Kefersheim, Mambüchel,
Oberjeckenbach, Ronnenberg, and Wieselbach. Johann Peter Schug (1747- ?) was
from Aulenbach. Louisa Katherina Kirsh’s
(1794-1888) family was from Frohnhausen.
Library research puts meat on the factual names and dates
associated with genealogy. An article I
found in a 1950’s Tascarawas Co. Genealogy Society Newsletter is an example. I know of no relationship with the writer and
the Schug’s of Baumholder. However the
Sir Names are familiar and Peter Jacob Arth the emigrant who received the
letter farmed in Port Washington Ohio and like
Carl Schug’s family is listed as a Charter Member of St. Paul’s German Evangelical
Church and found
throughout the church book.
Letter From Prussia
Received by Peter Jacob Arth
Frohnhausen and Breungenborn, May
3,1853
Dear Relatives and kinfolk:
This is the response to your letter of January1, 1853
(4months), which found us all in good health.
We are going to make it short this time, since nothing of importance has
happened since we last wrote you. Your
sisters, dear brother-in-law are still single and the Godfather is getting
frail this last year. He has almost no
vision and his breathing is getting more labored with every week. Your brother Johann Nickel injured at the mill is almost totally recovered. Although he is not what he used to be, he’s
working in the fields again. His family
has not increased since you left – his wife and two children. However our family has grown by adding
another healthy son on August
11, 1852 . We now have a pair
– boy and a girl. On April 6th
this year we bought Gimbel’s house
and newly built barn for 560 Thaler. Gimbel and his daughter’s husband,
Worst, are immigrating next Monday and sail for Brazil . Immigration is heavy this year, especially to
America . Friedrich
Kemmer and Peter Simon from Mambuchel leave tomorrow to find a new
home and Fatherland by you. They will
deliver this letter to you, God willing, and may he give his blessing, so they
may find prosperity. Christian Heartmann from Breungenborn developed a boil on his
abdomen whish became so dangerous that they buried him on the first day of
Easter. Old man Koebich also passed away and three days after the Spring Fair we
buried Johann Nickel Kirsch. He died suddenly of a stroke. Other than that, I know of nothing that would
interest you, so I close with the wish that God may bless and keep you in His
mercy.
Your
loving brother-in-law
Bier, teacher
(A letter dated 25 Feb 1850 was also published in Vol 1, page 32. Looks like I have more to do)
I have attached the 1870 and 1880 Census of Peter Jacob Arth
and his family.
Noted in the Port
Wasington St. Pauls German Evangelical Church
Emma Arth, Daughter
of Peter Jakob Arth in Buckhorn and his
wife Elisabeth nee Dietrich, died 1 March of long fever; age 7 months 23 days;
buried 4th March 1875
Scottish & Irish Festival (We are
all Celtics)
My ancestors are German, Swedish, Norwegian and
English. However, from Horst Conrad’s
Baumholder book I learned that Baumholder was a Celtic village since the
beginning of the Common Area. I volunteered to look up Sir names of these
Scotts and Irish to locate what counties their ancestors resided. (Also to watch the Lassies Step Dance.) What a
good time was had when I told Scotts they were Irish, Irish where Scotts and
some were Vikings (Danes). After all
they were just a short boat ride away.
To my surprise “Fenimore” was listed- the Irish meaning “dearest love” slang
-Fin Amour from French. And my bother Jim said that we were “Fens ” Fenish who married with the “Moores”, thus
Fenimore. Jim tells a great yarn.
Beginning Genealogy
The deference between Genealogy and folklore is documenting
your sources. Until this is done my
research is considered folklore, but A-1 folklore at that.
To start one should be retired or independently
wealthy. Best if you are both. Other requirements is to be detailed oriented
and a strong reader. I am none of the
fore mentioned.
Then you need Genealogy software it can be free
(familysearch.com). I recommend purchasing your own. I started with Family Tree Maker great for
beginners. I now use Legacy 7, very powerful with a lot of
bells and whistles.
Learn how to Google.
Genealogy is the second most Googled topic. Also familysearch.com is free. Contact the Family Learning
Center (located at LDS
wards) Inside the Family Learning Center you are safe. The volunteers are sworn
not to assault non Mormons. They have
lectures, answer questions and may have subscription web cites such as
ancestry.com that you can use for free.
Also visit your local Genealogy and/or Historical Society. Societies usually meet at a Library that has an
Old Dead People area. Libraries also my
have fee internet access to other web sites such as HeritageQuest.com
I downloaded my files as of 2007 to Wereleate.org a wiki ran by the Allen County Library. That’s right it’s free. Barbara Renick (a
genealogist from Orange Ca) has a website: Zroots.com for “Links” to other free
sites.
A good place to start your quest is with the US Census records
found at familysearch.org . The1890
census is all but gone due to fire.

Mom Got Downsized.
When my mother, Ferrel Arnette Fenimore (1915-2003) died I
inherited her life sized painting. A gift from my dad, Richard Henry Schug
(1914-1984). “Ferrel” was too big for
our home. Besides my wife, Dorey Kathleen Snapp (1952) would have nothing to do
with her in our house. I just could not
throw the painting (my mother) into the trash.
She stayed in my office face against the wall. “Ferrel” became a joke to our family. Who
would inherit her when I passed-on? No
takers. At last I had her cut down to
size 22”x18”. She now hangs nicely in
the back corner of our dinning room.
Strategically placed with dignity, whoever not in plain site.
Wedding Bells Rung?
Ok, Who Married Who When & Where? Inquiring relatives would like to know. Did they?
Are there any descendants yet? Date:, City:, County:, State:,
ANY ONE ELSE? Live-ins don’t count. Must be Married, Domestic
Partners OK.
Babies Any One?
YES-Congratulations

Hendrick
Roseboom (Hendrick Janse) was the patriarch of the Roseboom family of early Albany .
Hendrick
Jansz Rooseboom, a tailor's apprentice, arrived at Fort
Orange , now Albany in 1657. He had been hired on 8 April, 1657 by Jan Hendrick

1664.
By 1664, he was known as a fur trader and a property owner. His house and lot
were located on what became the east side of Pearl Street and incorporated the
northern wall of the stockade. For many years, the Pearl Street passage out of town was
known as "Roseboom's Gate."
His first wife was Gysbertie Lansing - the mother of at
least five Roseboom children. In December 1695, he was a widower when he
married Widow Tryntje Jans at the Albany Dutch church where he had been a assistant
to a pastor who, in the absence of a pastor, could hold religious services and
read scripture. Hendrick also served as
the churches undertaker and grave digger for many years.
Hendrick
Janse served the community as a constable, contractor, and juror. In 1679, his
property was enumerated on the Albany
assessment roll. In 1697, his household was configured on the city census. Two
years later, he stood with his neighbors in swearing allegiance to the king of England .
Hendrick
Roseboom died in December 1703 and was buried from the Dutch church.

Barbeque Baumholder
Style
Luthor & Jutta, Andre & Malanie
and other friends and cousins treated the Spungers to a German barbeque of
Spiessbraten a regional meat dish which originated in the town of
Idar-Oberstein in the 19th century, when gemstone prospectors
returning from South America created their version of gaucho-grilled steaks.
Spiessbraten
Recipe # I
Ingredients
(6 servings)
1 Shallot or small onion cut into small pieces
Freshly ground black pepper
1 pn Mace
1 lg Steak (just over 1 lb), at least 1 1/4 inches (Pork Sholder or Tri-Tips)
(6 servings)
1 Shallot or small onion cut into small pieces
Freshly ground black pepper
1 pn Mace
1 lg Steak (just over 1 lb), at least 1 1/4 inches (Pork Sholder or Tri-Tips)
Mix together the shallot or onion with
the pepper and mace. Insert a few shallot pieces into the steak using the point
of a small knife. Coat the steak with the shallot mixture, pressing it in so it
will adhere.
Remove the loose shallot pieces and grill the steak (over a fire of oak logs from which the bark has been removed).* Take the steaks off the grill while they are still pink inside. Sprinkle them with salt.
*Note: A special grill is used, suspended with 3 chains from an iron tripod and constantly swinging through the flames.

Spiessbraten
Recipe # II
The Marinade of Spießbraten is very
basic, being made only from salt, pepper and crushed onions. The secret is
getting a nice pork cut like shoulder, neck or loin and cutting a pocket for
the marinade in it. Fill it with half of the marinade, rub the rest on the
outside and let it marinate for 8-12 hours. This is best prepared on charcoal,
but the season is over for this year, sorry.
“Schug” Crazy-Hot
Pepper Sauce “Believe It Or Not”
On the internet Fritz found this sauce
for the adventurous gourmets give it a try.
Then send some to me.
This crazy-hot pepper sauce and its phonetic-resistant name have their origins in the kitchens of
Yemenite Jews. During the 1950s when everything was rationed in Israel ,
European Jews picked up on Middle Eastern culinary strategies to spice up their
bland chow. Call it the era of falafelization. My late father developed a
legendary appetite for this stuff as a student in Jerusalem . Decades later in the U.S.
he was known to spread it on a bagel with cream cheese
Schug has no hard, fast rules, and as such every chef puts their unique
spicy spin on it. While the recipe is highly subjective, it should be more
paste than liquid; if you don’t want your pita to spring a leak then it should
stick to hummus. You can bring together kitchen and garden experiments for a
range of color and flavor results. Grow your own habaneros, scotch bonnets,
jalapenos, cayenne and chili peppers. To cut the heat you can seed the peppers
or toss in a few benign banana peppers. It is a great addition to any Middle
Eastern dish, and packed into a pretty jar it makes a thoughtful (albeit mildly
sadistic) hostess gift.
Schug makes about 2 cups Link:
Schug (Middle Eastern hot pepper sauce) 1 pound of peppers (you can mix it up, but go red or go green for bright, consistent color)
1 head fresh garlic, peeled
1 1/2 tablespoons cumin
Black pepper and sea salt to taste
Olive oil to cover (optional: fresh cilantro leaves, cardamom and lemon juice.)
Throw your peppers and garlic into a food processor and purée. Add spices and pulse a few times to mix. Store the mixture in a glass jar and cover with olive oil. Refrigerate.
Make sure to wash your hands before touching your eyeballs or anything else.
