Pete,
I found this on the internet. I always thought the tradition was German.

Our variation was clam chowder, usually Manhattan style, and always
Christmas Eve. After that light meal we waited for the "Weihnachtsmann" and
presents. Then followed Christmas treats: Stollen, Lebkuchen, Springerle.
I am sure the meal was due to abstinence (no meat) that day in anticipation
of Christmas Day Mass and Communion. I believed the tradition (which we
still follow) was German since most else at home was.

You might want to try the German-Russian Newsgroup and see if they can help.

Hello Listers,
I am seeking a map of the area showing the towns of Gillenfeld, Eckfeld,
Carl and Landscheid to use in my family history. Road maps are too confusing
as my relatives emigrated in 1880.
Also if anyone has information on the type of farms in this area during the
period 1800-1880 I'd greatly appreciate that information.
Thanks,
Julia
I am looking for my long lost relatives origin in western Europe. The name is Thauberger, Tauberger, Dauberger or d'auberger.
According to family folklore this family left the Alsace Lorraine area about 1802 for Russia. I can not find anyone on the Alsace list who has any leads so perhaps they are from another area.
LDS (Mormon) list have gone no where, no record of Thauberger or any different spelling can be found.
So if anybody can point the way it would be greatly appreciated.

Partially a genealogical topic since it was a tradition from my family.
My grandparents were from MN.
Grandfather descended from Norwegian, Prussian (Rhein), and Luxembourgh
origins.
Grandmother descended from Pommeranian, Prussian (Pom? -- Surname LAU),
Scottish? (Surname MONTGOMERY) origins.
We always had oyster stew on Xmas eve...I always thought it had to do with
Norwegian traditions, but remember some talk before that it was Prussian.

Hi Gerd,
Jacobs Holzem's marriage with Anna Michels is
registered in the IGI and Jakob is mentioned to be
born in Ollheim, Rheinland. Marriage took place in
St. Anthony's Fussville, Waukesha, WI.
Ollheim is close to Rheinbach, near Koeln (Cologne).
Do use the IGI and you might find some more information
as to where and how to search the Mormon data bases.

I am searching for the town of origin of my Curi family. The members of
my family are: Catherine, born in 1797; Michael, born in July of 1808;
Pierre, born in 1811; Barbara, born 1 November 1819. There may also
have been a John and a Margaret. All of these came to America about the
early 1830s, married spouses of German ancestry, and settled in the
Chicago, Illinois and Milwaukee, Wisconsin areas. The Germans they
married were mainly from the southwestern part of Germany. Any leads or
help to any Curi
This is very interesting and something that I always assumed to be from my
Swedish heritage. "My Swedes" came to the U. S. in 1875. I don't know
about "then", but according to my grandfathers diaries for the period
1935-1952, oyster stew was always served on Christmas Eve (and many other
ocassions in the Fall) Lutfisk served often between Thanksgiving and the
first of the new year.
My mothers side was Irish & Scotch and they did not have this oyster stew
tradition, but they arrived in the U. S. much earl

Hello,
Would anyone know anything about the family of an Andreas MUNZER, born Trier
about 1850, who went to live in Grimsby, Lincolnshire, England?
He was a shoemaker, married a Kate Thompson in 1871, and is found in the
1881 UK Census under the name Munger. He was my great-grandfather.
Any leads gratefully received.
Many thanks,
Chris
Hallo,
Saw all your mails, I'm german and never heard about oyster stew so I had a
look in my oldest cooking and recipe book:
"Grosses Illustriertes Kochbuch
von M. Ehrhardt
printed 1914"
following for oysters:
1. oysters how to prepare
2. oysters american style
3. oysters fresh
4. oysters backed
5. oysters grilled
6. oysters steamed
7. oysters naturell
8. oysters how to open
9. oyster sandwiches
10. oysters cream
11. oyster soup
Maybe your oyster stew you think is german style is the very same thing,
Marvin,
