Hello:
Per www.familysearch.org:
Albert Neufeldt HEINRICH(father)
b.1848 Elbing, , , Germany
d.1930 Meran, Bolzano, Italy
Max NEUFELDT(son)
b.1886 Elbing, , , Germany
d.1966 Jahannesburg(sic), , , South Africa
....
I am unable to find info for Max NEUFELDT other than a
birth and death data.
Max is one of ten children born to
Adolph & Louise [Bohne MARIE] HEINRICH.
Another son born Albert Neufeldt KURT(1883) and a
daughter born Anna Neufeldt MARIE(1875).
....
I have yet to research the surnames KURT and MARIE,
but was wondering about name patterns for the Germany
area.
Is patronymic naming also fluent in Germany?
If not, then why the difference in surnames between
the father and three of his ten children?
....
The info I have regarding Max NEUFELDT is based on
"oral history"/Family folk-lore by NEUFELDT descent.
"Is there anyone out there who can help me with the
'missing years' of my
gg-uncle Max NEUFELDT (1886 -1966). In April 1908 he
left Germany to work
for the 'Deutsche Handels und Plantagen Gesellschaft'
in Samoa. In August
1920 he returned, married in Hamburg, Germany, and
rised a family. He
never liked to talk about his time overseas, but
rumors say he was
married there and had children. It seems as if he
became a soldier in WW1
and spent his last years in Samoa in an
internation(sic) camp, but that again
are rumors."
....
Yes, I will be asking South Africa for an obit.
Thanks! everyone for your thoughts.
Regards,
--Manaia
