If you want to add a query please note this:

• Please do not try to add a query like "I am looking for my XYZ parents. Family lore says they are from Europe ...". All queries should contain at least:
1. a definite name ( family and if possible first name(s)) and
2. a definite place ( not "Germany" or "Saxony" but Leipzig , Dresden , Kötzschenbroda ,… ) It is unnecessary to mention Saxony as this site only deals with Saxony. eg Leipzig is situated in Saxony and the - in the states usual X-Town/Y-state - Leipzig . Saxony,Germany is therefore not needed. Please be sure that the place of origin is located in the Bundesland (means state ) of Sachsen . This region is more or less identical to the heartland of the former Kingdom of Saxony . For locations in the Prussian Province of Saxony please use the Sachsen-Anhalt pages, for Sachsen - Weimar, Sachsen - Altenburg, Sachsen - Henneberg etc (ruled by relatives of the Kings of Saxony- its a little bit tricky to puzzle it out if you are not to familiar with the Saxon history, I know ) please look at the Thüringen pages. Lower Saxony is Niedersachsen and has also its own pages.
3. and a date that is as exact as possible.
• Please remember that names usually becomes americanized ( canadianized, australianized ... ) during immigration. So please do not wonder if a Frederick in your letter becomes a Friederich in this list, an Elizabeth would be Elisabeth, John Johann, Henry Heinrich etc.
• The pronounciation in Saxony

The Pronounciation in Saxony differs in relation to other German areas. Most significant is that there is no difference between b and p, g and k, d and t. In fact, p, k and t seem to be completely ignored. ( ie. for Saxons: B is the "soft" B, P is the "hard" B ) This leads to some uncertainties, especially in documents from before 1871. If you can't find a place or name including a "b", "g" or "d" always try it again replacing them by "p", "k" or "t". "ck" is sometimes replaced by "gg" or "g" ( Lucka = Lugga) , "ig" by "ch" ( Leipzig - Leibzich ). Do likewise if family or first names look like names you know better in the replaced way ...
