Adoption - Haedicke

[jean haedicke cave]

Yes I regret not digging a bit more as all the relatives who can help are dead now.
How can I get Jan's address. She works in Paris doesn't she?

I don't know Jan's address but if you want to send it to me i can pass it on to her daughter Clare.  If that is Ok I will send you a private message with my address.
look forward to hearing from you

If you could PM either Clare or Jan's Email address to me I can probably send them in an attached file
or make some other arrangement.

Hello.

I'm new to RootsChat and have found the discussion on Haedicke an interesting one.

I'm from the US and have done a lot of research on the Haedicke branch of the family here starting with my grandfather, George Ernst Haedicke.  The results of that research can be found at: www.George and LouHaedicke.net.

I'd love to learn more about the Haedicke family in England, Germany, or anywhere else for that matter.

Thanks!  Waiting to hear from you.

How utterly fascinating.
There is a LOST brother called Fritz!
When Frederick first showed up in the British Census he was called Fritz (Born c1852/3)
but I assumed that was a nickname type of thing.
How are you getting on with the language problem?
The German/Danish/Czech/Polish borders also seem to change regularly
to compound search issues. Lots of wars.
Have you had it confirmed that the original Haedickes were Jewish?
I would love to know this. I think there is a strong musical/ law and adventurer gene!!
My father Douglas Collins Haedicke was also in the military.
I will get back Jack, very busy today.
I would like to compare family photos.

Thanks for getting back with me!

I noted that I mis-typed the family website in the previous posting.  It should be: Georgeandlouhaedicke.net.  Almost all of the pictures I have can be found on that site.

The language problem hasn't been an issue for me since all of my research has been from US relatives, including the Bandels from New York City.  Without a doubt, there is a strong adventurer gene in the family....I would add military to that mix.  All of my uncles and my Dad served in the US Army.

I have not heard of a Jewish connection to the family, although I can't say that it would surprise me.

I would like to learn more on all fronts.

Thanks, again.

I read every word your website . .
Reading about your family was awesome. Like a great movie in my mind's eye.
I was knocked out with some of the Haedicke "con-incidences" it threw up as well.
My family have the worst 'itchy feet' syndrome ever, not to mention wanderlust.
Have you ever visited Rosslau on the Elbe in Germany?

two things to clarify
CWRCH died at 102 Lodge Hill Plumstead. They had already moved out of Woodstock.
Ballards Lane was actually Friern Barnet at the time. There was a court case in 1901 in which claims were made for reparation. The local council had 'forced' the Haedickes to reinstate sewers
there but were in fact responsible themselves. This took some time to get to court!

I will be adding more to this set when I have a bit of time.
Sorry it is taking a while. I have to reformat and touch them up a bit.
More coming
