Categories: Zanzig Name Study

The people on this page are Zanzigs who have events in Mecklenburg-Schwerin, Germany. For the core Zanzig groups, we need Stavenhagen, Parchim, and Hanover, but to collect all the random Zanzigs from all of the parish records needs some thought.

Locations in Germany
Use the reference Grandduchies of Mecklenburg-Schwerin & Mecklenburg-Strelitz (Map Guide to German Parish Registers, Volume 3) by Kevan M. Hansen (Family Roots Publishing: 2004, ISBN-13: 978-0975354346) as my ultimate source for Mecklenburg-Schwerin locations. It is keyed to Familysearch parish film numbers and is unambiguous for church records. However, it sometimes conflicts with civil jurisdictions such as the census.

Categories
Initially:

If a person was born and died in Germany, use just Mecklenburg-Schwerin, Zanzigs (if their children emigrated, don't carry the tag to the non-emigrant parent).
If a person was an emigrant, use both M-S and also their US group (Milwaukee, Chicago/Nebraska, Appleton, Cleveland, Miscellaneous)

Naming
I wrote the following on the wikitree G2G lists. The rules for foreign names don't seem super well defined, at least as far as recording all the names someone might appear in records with. Please use the following guidelines and advise if they don't work for you so we can update them.

  • Use the baptismal names, if you have them, as any Germans' Proper First Name
  • Put their call name ("goes by" name) in the Preferred name field
  • Put name changes and variants, language name changes, and so on in the Other Nicknames field, separated by commas. Explain the important ones in the biography.
  • Leave Middle Name blank, until international standards develop
  • Use the subordinate names in sentences in the biography as needed (should I live so long.)
