The Princess and the Nuernberger
After church Sunday, I was talking to Vic’s sister-in-law. I told her that I would like to get with her and her mother soon to do some research about the family history on the farm. Mary Jo proceeded to tell me the story about how far back they had been able to work on the geneology. I believe she told me they were able to get back to the late 1700’s, but the exact dates will be in my paper. The exact names will also be in my paper, but I was so excited to hear this story that I just wanted to brief all of you in my blog this week of this finding. Apparently, there was a princess in Germany that married a Nuernberger. Way back then, when you were of royalty and married a commoner, you were dethroned. This princess apparently loved this Nuernberger guy so much that she decided to give up her royal title. I am so anxious to get with Mary Jo and her mother to get these facts. Mary Jo told me that she can prove the geneology, but that she cannot prove the fact that this ancestor was a princess due to the fact that she was dethroned. I am so ready to get started on this paper! So far I have heard so many different stories that I believe I could write a book!

This sounds like it has a neat little twist to it. The part in this post about not being able to prove that the girl was a princess is understandable, as only the royal families kept records. You might try looking on ancestry.com, all you need are the names of some of the Nuernbergers and then it'll do the research for you.
ReplyDeleteHave you by any chance found out more about the ghost/ancestor? That would be an interesting section to your paper.
I can't wait to hear the continuation of the story. I eagerly await your further posts and papers.

This very interesting! I can't wait to hear more about this as well as all the other exciting things you will be writing about in your paper. I am especially eager to hear about the ghost you've been talking about. Your project has a lot of information you can cover and you have excess to it all, which is very rewarding! I am ready to get my paper over with as well. I watch your blog, so I will too be looking forward to your further posts!
