6 Weeks to go

12/8/2015

December 8th is a significant date in the family tree.

144 years ago Doris and Ferdinand Hahn were married in the magnificant church in Ranchi.

119 years ago their oldest daughter Louis married Karl Nottrott in the same church.

94 years ago the oldest Nottrott daughter, Marie married Herman Feierabend, in the USA, but they went a year later to India about 400 miles south of Ranchi

My parents were expected to get married in 1946 on the same date, but they just couldn't wait, so they got married in October.

However, all four generations spent a considerable amount of their adult life in India. It all started with Doris and Ferdinand. All married 25 years apart.

I will be traveling and visiting India, with my Father. Our primary destination in India is Ranchi, Jharkhand. We will also visit other towns and cities in that north-eastern region as well as other places in India.

Ranchi is the first place where our ancestors lived. When they went to India. They had been there from 1868 - 1915. They were the first generation that we know of that connected us to India. This visit will connect us with the Christians who live there who are the beneficiaries of that early missionary work.

My father and I will be joined by others,including my father's cousin, Wolfram Peetz. He is looking forward to see Purulia where his mother was born.

I am still seeking funding to help with some of the costs related to research. The research is for a historical novel I am writing based on the lives of these anscestors.
