The Epicenter of Birkholz concentration
7 April 2011 - 10:39:43pm The geographic epicenter of the villages named \"Birkholz\" is southwest, closer to Berlin. This, however, is what I\'ve come to think of as the epicenter of the Birkholz families, since over half of the known villages of origin are in this area. These include: Schlagenthin, Reetz, Schönfeld, and the Kreise: Greifenhagen, Saatzig, Neustettin. Note that four Prussian provinces meet here. Arnswalde and the area just to the east of it, is the center of many of these villages. The Birkholzs from Posen, likely came from this area.   (This shows the Prussian provinces in the late 1800s. The epicenter is by the \"g\" in \"Brandenburg\".)  (This shows the current nation of Poland with the old Prussian provinces. The epicenter is by the \"g\" in \"Brandenburg\".)

The Branches
25 January 2008 - 9:33:32am Preliminary analysis of the data indicates these are the branches that have the most descendants in the United States. (Ranking is a rough indicator of the number of descendants. )
The Immigrants and their Passenger Lists
5 October 2006 - 11:06:47pm There is a list, under construction, of Birkholzs found on passenger lists through the years. Many entries also have the actual images of the passenger list pages.
Why am I doing this?
29 September 2006 - 11:17:33pm I\'ve been collecting info on all Birkholzs since about 1975. Before I knew where my Birkholz ancestors came from, and research become much easier thanks to modern technology, I wondered how many Birkholzs were in the US, and how they were related. My prime goal is to identify every Birkholz immigrant. I use easily-obtained records to create a database of all adult Birkholzs. I started with phone books and now use the many online resources to gather clues. All this is supplemented by calling people on the phone and getting more info. It used to be much easier, but these days people are (rightly so) very concerned about identity theft. For those of you who take the time to tell me about your families, I\'m very appreciative and almost always have a thoroughly enjoyable conversation. Once I have all the living families entered, I\'ll be working backwards in time, using the census info heavily. I\'ve found records for about 30 immigrations and hope to find more. Then we\'ll try to identify the origins. If I live long enough, we\'ll try to work through the German records and see how many of these families are related. My best guess is that the US contains about 75 branches which haven\'t been linked together yet. I would guess there are a total of some 500 family units with living members. Everyone is welcome to edit this data. I intend to keep this database online as long as I\'m alive, so feel welcome to use this data as a resource for your immediately family. I encourage you to upload photos, it makes the data so much more \"alive\".
Birkholz facts
23 September 2006 - 6:29:58pm The name \"Birkholz\" is almost certainly derived from one of 16 villages named Birkholz. The word \"Birkholz\" translates to \"Birch wood\", and these villages were certainly situated (at one time anyway) by some birch trees. These trees are plentiful in the area where these villages are found, the border area of present day Germany and Poland. In the 1800s, this area was centered near the corner where four Prussian provinces bordered each other: Brandenburg, Pomerania, West Prussia and Posen. The area encompassed roughly the closest third of each of these provinces. For more information, including maps click here
Spellings
23 September 2006 - 7:12:07am The most common spelling is \"BIRKHOLZ\", and the runner up is \"BIRKHOLTZ\". The first vowel can also be \"E\" or \"U\", there can be a \"T\" before the \"Z\", or not, and sometimes a \"C\" is put before the \"K\". The Polanized spelling is \"BIRKHOLC\". One source claims the pronounciation in the homeland was \"BARG holz\". There have been some \"von Birkholz\" families, as well.
