Searching "Henn" Family (Schleusingen) and "Hanf" Family (Schwarzbach - Auengrund)

[Angy]

My parents came to Australia in 1954, both passed away. I have no remaining uncles, aunts or cousins in Germany and I have no experience in genealogy. I visited Schleusingen and Schwarzbach in 1972, 1979, 1986 and 1988 when the country was still the DDR.

Thank you, I think I'll be on an interesting journey. Unfortunately as I wrote my post in english, my mother's maiden name has been translated from Hanf to Hemp - do you know whether this can by changed in the post.

[DoroJapan]

you are welcome.

yes, just click "ändern" - means edit - in your first post and you should be able to change it.

A lot of Henn-familiy-members - I guess far realeted ones" - are still living in Schleusingen

In Schleusingen kaum bekannt – verborgen und wertvoll - Die Hennebergische Gymnasialbibliothek

I am not sure if your FN is connected to House of Henneberg or if it is just a coincidence

Hello Angy,
did you take a DNA test on one of the well known sites like myheritage or ancestry? If yes, maybe you could upload to gedmatch and give us your kit number that those of us who were tested too can compare theirs to yours. Maybe there are some of your cousins in this community
Whatever you do, I wish you all the best.

I did a test last week with ancestry.com
