Glad you are looking here. Hallo!, Hola and Hello from:
..................FAY and JAN SCHLOTFELDT..............

SCHLOTFELDT FAMILIES, CHECK THIS OUT.

For those in Germany, Vielen Dank fuer Eure Notizen.

Un especial Hola to those in Santiago, Chile and the Schlottfeldts in Brazil. In October of 1998 we were lucky to find new charts brought from Germany to Chile by Carmen Schlotfeldt Leighton's Great- Grandfather. It clears up many questions and makes links back to 1656 in Klein Flintbek, Germany. Those names have been worked to our family tree file and make solid connections with families we have been communicating with in Germany. In Nov. 1998 we have found a Schlotfeldt in Johannesburg, S. Africa with roots in Flintbek. In 2006 we found another.
As of June 1999 Suzette Schlotfeldt of Denmark had worked some of her ancestors back to Kiel in the 1800s and we are looking for more links there. Also, Tom Roar Eikebrokk of Norway is researching the reported old spelling of "Slotvelt" with his newly discovered Schlotfeldt ancestors who went to Norway from Schleswig Holstein and changed their name to "Skyliholdt" (the name of the farm). One of our German cousins is certain that the old Danish spelling of our name was Slotueld or Slotveld.
We also keep finding new updates and additions to the tree via incoming and outgoing inqueries from the World Wide Web. For example, in Sept. 2002, we heard from Alexej and Vera Schlotfeldt-Schaefer from Germany. Their father is from Chile. In 2003 we heard from many more who exchanged family information with us. Thanks to all of you.
We have found a Schlottfeldt (double t) family with links to Schleswig Holstein in the 1850s from their current history in Brazil and they are still backtracking their family story. The principal researchers are Gustavo Schlottfeldt and his sister, Luisa McEwen. Very interesting.
We became very lucky in 2003 when several branches of the families made contact with us and filled in a number of "blanks". We were also fortunate when CLAUS REESE of Reesdorf, Germany sent us several Landesarchiv Schleswig sales contracts from the 1600s and 1700s plus our 2nd Great Grandfather, Hans Henry's farm sale of "Scholensegen" near Klein Barkau, Germany in 1852. In May of 2004 we heard from the Schröder family who live in Scholensegen still. Over 150 years! It also turns out that Claus Reese is a cousin! He is descended from our 3rd Great Grandfather. One of that Grandfather's granddaughters married an earlier Claus Reese. Claus's son,Kai, still farms the place in Reesdorf. We appreciate his research. The old contracts are invaluable. If any of you want copies, please contact us.
We have collected a large tree and also several smaller trees that we keep linking. Some are based on evolved names like SCHLOTFELT where old documents spell the names two or three ways on the same document. We have a fair sized file based on CHRISTIAN SCHLOTFELDT who settled in Grand Island, Nebraska USA in the late 1800s. We have not yet found the link to the big file but are back to the same Kiel area and are sure we are related. We are adding many pictures and some document copies to the FAMILY TREE MAKER personal web page linked at the bottom of the page. We think you will find it interesting.
ANNA SCHLOTFELDT in ADELAIDE,AUSTRALIA and aunt Birgit have given us a file that in 2007 we have linked back to Klein Flintbek. Her family is related to Carl Schlotfeldt's family in Johannesburg, So. Africa. In 2003 we did Link Carl's family back to old Jochim. Also in 2003 and 2004 we linked several other of our smaller families to our "Big" Schlotfeldt chart. Marga Schlotfeldt of Meimers- dorf, Germany has added many names & see Corrina's links below. In the meantime, we are still a "collection" of "SCHLOTFELDTS".

IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN RESEARCHING THE SCHLOTFELDT FAMILY HISTORY WE ARE WILLING TO SHARE.
