Hey Valerie,

Well, this is an interesting conjunction of topics.

It just so happens that I've got a box full of letters and maps and
interpretations of early plats as produced by the later Mr. Arthur
Gross. These were provided to me by Alex Lee.

I've done very little with this material. However, I am interested in
it due its later overlap with land plats recorded in local courthouses.

Some of the Arthur Gross works include the folks at New Goettingen.
I'll have to look at what Alex provided to me see if your Bornemann is
listed on one of those maps created by Mr. Gross.

Unless I'm terribly mistaken, Physician Bornemann's widow married my
Griner ancestor!

And yeah - Gert is the SEVENTH named storm of the season and we ain't
yet out of July. Time for the pouring of concrete fortification-like
homes, folks!

Dale

>Hi Dale,
>I always enjoy reading the e-mails from over there. I guess I hope to get some information about my Bornemann Family - Johann Christoph Bornemann settled New Gottingen about 1752 and that area was also called Halifax. I see where you are speaking of land plats, etc. about 1792. Do you think there is a land map anywhere that shows who owns the land at that time? We would like to be able to follow the Burnaman land at New Goettingen to see who may have purchased it for some years. You are quite knowledgable about that area.

We've been invited to come but is is such a bad time of year to get away. My traveling friend and her mother cannot go because Anna is a professor and will be back in the class room. We both live in low lying areas of the Gulf Coast of Texas and when a hurricane appears to be coming our way there is mandatory evacuation. We have to gather or valuables, close, up and evacuate.
