Bob - Thanks for your editing of the Stein entry No. 811.  I tried clicking on the Researcher button to enter my name, but all that comes up is a blank screen saying:

dbsig-num is not set

Can you interpret please?  Playing out is too much fun, so the Haffners may have to wait until holiday over and back in the UK!

Thanks, Bob.  No more time today, but will try and compile some add-ons for the Haffners tomorrow, and will try the Researcher link also.  Going out to play now!  Helen

Following my previous post (No. 487) I have been looking at the database, and there seem to be 3 entries for Alexander STEIN, which seem to be for the same man and could perhaps be combined.  Also I can offer some additional information, but not being the original submitter, think I cannot do this - Histres, can you do this? :)

Name should be Christian Alexander STEIN, dob 19 January 1858, Kunzelsau, death 23 May 1934, Castleford, WRY.  Parents:  Johann Christof STEIN, dob 26 September 1819 Kunzelsau, death 6 November 1874, Occupation:  Bookbinder.  Susanna Sofie Margarethe BREITINGER dob 13 November 1820 Kunzelsau, death 18 October 1893 Kunzelsau.

Places of abode:  1 = Kunzelsau, 2 = Bradford WRY 1881 Census, working for STEEGE, 3 =  1882-1911 Carlton Street, Castleford, WRY, 4 = Monk Fryston, WRY, 5 = Leake Street, Castleford, WRY.

Comments:  Photographs available for Christian Alexander STEIN, Margaret HAFFNER, Johann Christof STEIN, Susanna BREITINGER.

I would like to be listed as a Researcher for this family, but do not know how to do this.  Am finding the website quite difficult to navigate initially, but hopefully will get the hang of it in time!

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help - Helen

Thanks to SwissGill and others for their welcome earlier in the month when I posted the following on the general forum.  Also thanks to Gill for the extra information re the Steeges and Lindenbergers of Bradford - another piece of the jigsaw/web!  Will repeat my original post for those who may not have picked it up before:

Both my great grandparents were part of the German Pork butcher migration from Wurttemburg:  Christian Alexander STEIN (Kunzelsau/Castleford) and Margaret HAFFNER (Hohebach).  As far as I know Alexander Stein was the only one of his siblings to come to England, but all of Margaret's siblings came and settled here, including their parents in retirement.  All the first generation of Haffners in England married into other German families (FUCHS, NICKLAS, RUMMLER, MOGERLEY).  Before the marriage of Alexander and Margaret (in Wakefield, WRY) she was working for the SCHWAB family in Wakefield, and Alexander worked for a STEEGE family in Bradford.  After their marriage they opened a Pork Butcher's shop in Castleford, where Alexander eventually built his own premises - still there today, but now boarded up and looking very sad - not as I remember it in my childhood, when it was a thriving shop, eventually sold to Farm Stores (started by Mr ZIEGLER).  Maybe some of these names will strike a chord with someone?

Also while checking the database, I see that there is an entry for a NIKLAS marrying an ANDRASSY, living in Wakefield.  I well remember Andrassy's as Wakefield is my home town.  One of the HAFFNERS (Burnley) married a NIKLAS (see above)  - Friederike Haffner to Charles Niklas in Wakefield 1884.

Thank you to Bob and Ruskie for putting me straight on what I needed to do.  I was just too keen to start adding to the database, but guess I should have spent more time investigating Rootschat and how it worked.  With reference to the info. I was hoping to add to the table - I do have quite a few names, but some are on the German PB database already, although I could add more detail or make corrections.  Also some of my information stems from a 2 hour session with Herr Kraut in the Kunzelsau archives in 2007, when he was able to get my STEIN line back by about 200 years - obviously they were not all Pork Butchers!  Is the database specifically concerned with the ones who came here to England and worked as Pork Butchers, rather than their ancestors in Germany?  All help and guidance much appreciated.

I seem to be correctly logged into RootsChat.com, but when I go to the German Pork Butchers database and want to add or edit an entry, I keep getting a message about being able to use the PM system before I can do this.  I have a lot of data that might be relevant to this database, and having recently been encouraged to add some of my names by a fellow German researcher at the recent Halsted Trust Migration conference, am a bit frustrated as I cannot seem to work out how to do it.  Can anyone help please.
