Compendium of History, Reminiscence & Biography of NEBRASKA 262. COMPENDIUM OF HISTORY, REMINISCENCE AND BIOGRAPHY
NICKOLAS OTTELE.
In reviewing the history of Boone County, Nebraska, the citizens who have contributed to her welfare must be given special mention; and a prominent place among this number is given the gentleman above named. Mr. Ottele is a pioneer settler, and is perhaps one of the best known men of his locality. He is a prosperous farmer and business man, and has gained his success by the exercise of business tact, supplemented by the strictest integrity of word and deed. Nickolas Ottele was born in Luxemburg, Germany, April 7, 1856, the youngest of nine children in the family of Nickolas and Barbara Ottele. In the month of May, 1874, Mr. Ottele, with his father, mother, and sister Annie, came to America, going to Dubuque, Iowa, where they joined our subject's brother Mike and a married sister, who had came to America about one year previous. Mike Ottele and wife, Nick Henn and daughter, in company with the subject of this sketch, came overland by team and wagons, to Boone county, April 21, 1878. The three men took up adjoining homesteads in section twelve, township twenty-two, range seven, Nick Ottele locating on the southwest quarter, and his brother Mike on the northwest quarter, where they both reside on their original homesteads. Mike Ottele has a family of thirteen children, and has retired from the farm, now making his home in Elgin, Antelope county. Mr. Nicholas Ottele was married to Miss Annie Heinz in Ray Valley church, April 10, 1883. Mrs. Ottele is a native of Germany, and came to America in December, 1882. Mr. and Mrs. Ottele have had eight children, seven of whom are living Alvis N., and Emil J., who reside at home Jennie, wife of Herman Kueter, has one child and lives in Antelope county; and Mary, Matilda, Charles John, Emma Mary, and William F., all living under the parental roof. They are an interesting family, energetic along all lines, the older boys being good business men and capable managers. Mr. Ottele is a successful farmer and business man and owns three hundred and twenty acres of choice land in Boone county, one hundred and sixty acres in Antelope county, and six hundred and forty acres in Texas. For a number of years Mr. Ottele was in business in Petersburg, but has always retained his farm interests and given his farm and stock a goodly portion of his time, assisted by his sons. Mr. Ottele's father died September 21, 1891, and the mother died January 31, 1892, at the home of their son Nicholas. Mr. Ottele passed through the usual experiences of a pioneer farmer and business man of early Nebraska years from the sod shanty time to the modern farm home, automobile, and other modern improvements.

Using the Soundex System for 1900 Census, none of these States
had a match,
(or anything close), for the two Ottles that arrived on the "Friesland",
28
Feb. 1891: Ohio, Iowa, Wisconsin, Indiana, Michigan, Pennsylvania,
Kentucky,
and Illinois. I thought they would be the most likely locations,
but anything
could have happened. From time to time, I will check other
States.
There were some variations of the spelling Ottele. Most
of these were German.
A couple of Christopher Oettles were from Switzerland. I
have location notes
on some eighteen listings.
Some Dubuque Co., Iowa marriages that Jean-Marie may not have:
Otley, Mary to Charles E. Corkeny on 24 Nov. 1866.
Ottle, Elizabeth-25 to Peter Kurt 27-28 on12 Feb. 1872.
Otley, Fred-26 to Alice Louise Gibbs on 23 Oct. 1872.
Ottle, Margaret-17 to Conrad Arnold-24 on (license) 31 Dec. 1877.

"Emigrants et Rémigrants Luxembourgeois de 1876 à 1900" by Änder Hatz
This most useful book, recently published by the "Centre d'Etudes et de Documentation Historique" of the Luxembourg State Archives, contains some 230 pages, and lists names of people and localities who have either emigrated from Luxembourg or have returned to Luxembourg during the period 1876 - 1900. The book is written in the french language, but since it contains primarily a listing of names and locations, the introduction is really the only bit that needs explaining. Here's a translation of said introduction:
For some time now, we have noted a growing interest in researching the emigration of Luxembourg citizens during the second half of the 19th Century. Particularly genealogists and local chroniclers are interested in a closer look at the thousands of compatriots who have left their native lands in search of a new happiness abroad, especially in the United States of America. The total number of Luxembourgers who have emigrated to the New World between 1840 and 1900 is estimated to number 70,000 - some even say 72,000. Since legislation requiring people to register their change of address with the Communal Authorities was only introduced in 1875, research pre-dating that time often proves to be extremely difficult.
This book is the fruit of systematic research of the so-called "Population Mouvement Registers" (1841-1900), kept in the State Archives under the reference ANLux C-949. It takes into account all those people who have either declared their intention of emigrating to countries outside Central Europe, or who have registered themselves as return-immigrants from countries outside Europe. It is however only as of 1876 that the local Communal Administrations have started to communicate to the Superior Authority the names, christian names, number of individuals by gender, destination / origin of those who have registered their change of domicile. The total number of those who have registered their emigration to the United States of America in the period 1876 - 1900 is 10,126, while the number of the return-immigrants from that country is 1,140. This chapter lists 6,644 names in total.
A second chapter is devoted to the immigrants and return-immigrants from Argentina, the main wave of which was led by the priest Jean-Nicolas Schwebag of Boevange-sur-Attert, on January 23rd, 1889. The registered number of these emigrants runs to 622 units, that of the return-immigrants to 132 units.
In a third chapter, we have listed those people whose destination (175 individuals) or provenance (132 individuals) is an African or Asian country.
The differents listings are in alphabetical order by cantons, communes, and communal sections. An index of names and localities completes the reference

Besides four illustrated editions - two in Dutch and two in Latin - of the Speculum humanae salvationis, two other sets of texts are considered prototypographical. The first consists of the numerous short textbooks for schools by Aelius Donatus and Alexander de Villa Dei, of which on the whole only fragments have been preserved. The second consists of a number of separate texts written for a learned readership, comprehensively listed by Bonaventura Kruitwagen. One of them is this first edition of a Latin adaptation of Homer's Iliad, together with a few other short texts.
This copy was part of the collection of the English art historian William Young Ottley, who died in 1836. His posthumous work, An inquiry concerning the invention of printing, published in 1863, also deals with the earliest Dutch printed books.

At the 1988 Winter Olympics at Calgary we see
Doug Dorsey battered in a vicious hockey game
against West Germany. We then see Kate, a figure
skater, doing her program and falling when a lift
with her skating partner goes bad. Both have fought
all their life to get to the Olympics and suddenly
their dream has been shattered. The movie then
follows a temperamental but talented Kate through
a couple of years and many partners until finally her
coach resorts to recruiting a hockey player.
Through the difficult training of 15 hours of skating
a day they finally prepare for Nationals and the
Olympics. A romance is budding and their final
show could bend or break them as they try to
achieve their dreams of an Olympic Gold medal.
The mix of figure skating and hockey has a strange
feel to it and trust me, there’s a BIG difference
between the two. Sweeney makes it look realistic
switching sports and it’s just one funny moment
after another. There are parts of this movie that just
make you hurt your side laughing. It’s probably one
of the greatest romantic comedies out there and a
terrific date movie. The on-screen duo of Sweeney
and Kelly is excellent, they just play off each other
like they were brother and sister. Great acting,
side-splitting scenes and an overall good movie
make up The Cutting Edge.

The Island of St. Vincent
Just a mile or so from E.T. Joshua Airport is the bright and
bustling capital - Kingstown. Every week, huge cargo ships dock
at the jetty to load the islands' main
export - bananas - for the long journey to Europe.
Kingstown market - a real Caribbean market - where you can
choose from many varieties of fruits and vegetables: mangos, oranges,
lemons, tangerines, pineapples,
bananas, breadfruit and more are on offer.
The Kingstown fish market - recently built - will also excite you with its range of kingfish, snapper and grouper.
In the northern part of town, visit the historic Botanic Gardens
- the oldest in the Americas. Here you will find offspring of
Captain Bligh's original breadfruit tree,
alongside a species of plant and parrot unique to St. Vincent.
Just outside Kingstown, at over 600 feet, is Fort Charlotte,
completed by the British in 1806 during their struggle with the
French and the Caribs for control of the
island. Original canons still wait for action on the battlement
and the barracks have been converted into a pictorial museum illustrating
the island's colourful history. It
is easy to transport yourself back to the last century and to
appreciate then location of the Fort, with a commanding view over
the sea and the whole south of St.
Vincent.
A coastguard lookout post puts this view to good use to this
day. On a clear day, you can see as far as Grenada, some 60 miles
to the south. Looking north, enjoy
the views of the west coast and Mount St. Andrews, the southernmost
of the peaks, which form the backbone of St. Vincent. The duty
watchman will be pleased to
let you use his powerful binoculars to view far off yachts.
St. Vincent is divided into two distinct coastal structures
Windward (east) and Leeward (west). The Leeward (west) is endowed
with a series of spectacular slopes
and valleys running down into tranquil waters and beaches such
as Ottley Hall, Mount Wynne and Kearton's Bay. One of the
valleys, Buccament, also boasts a
casino and a nature trail. The trail is ideal for picnics and
for a sight of the elusive St. Vincent parrot. The drive up the
meandering Leeward highway takes you
through the villages of Layou and Barrouallie to Chateaubelair
and Richmond, where the road ends with the sea on your left and
mountains with the Soufriere
Volcano in sight.

I just glanced at your web stie jean-marie, and I thought u might like 2 know that I am from the twin island Rebuplic of Trinidad & Tobago. The last caribbean island in the chain (7 miles off the coast of venezuela). The "Ottley" name is a very well respected name in Trinidad, alot of my ancestors owned a lot of land in Tobago and my great grand father was some sort of governmet offical. We have streets in Tobago named after him and the family name. I am not 2 sure on all the facts, but I think our Scottish slave owners were named Ottley and as a result my great grandfathers and beyound, got that name. There probably was some intermixing and slave kids that were actually blood relatives 2 the Ottley owners but we have so little documentation of that time.

GENERAL BACKGROUND
Since the beginning of the world and throughout the generations of time, man has felt the
need to preserve the history of the family. This was done by recording names of ancestors
or of posterity. Examples: in the Bible we find "Abraham begat Isaac; and Isaac begat
Jacob; and Jacob begat Judas ... and Judas begat Phares ... and Phares begat Esrom ..."
etc.
Throughout the history of mankind, we find that a multitude of information was recorded
and some of it has survived until our day but only very few names may appear such as
names of property owners, or names of head of families.
It is not until sometime in the 16th century that ministers started to keep records of baptisms
and later, records of marriages and deaths, more commonly known as parish registers or
church records. But even when such records were kept, many of them have become partially
or totally destroyed or became missing and only a portion of these has been preserved until
today.
CIVIL REGISTERS
Sometime after the French revolution (1789), the civil authorities in various European
countries decided to take charge of record keeping. This became known as CIVIL
REGISTRATION or the keeping of births, marriages and deaths. It started in 1793 in
France, 1796 in Belgium and Luxembourg, 1812 in Holland and 1876 in Germany in the
areas which were not under the rule of Napoleon.
The majority of the above records is kept and preserved in various civil and church archives
but has not been totally immune from destruction, as we can see from the various
inventories, which too frequently are annotated by the mentions: - missing - burned during
the war - gap from ... to ... - no longer exist - etc.
INTEREST IN OWN ROOTS
Our generation is seeing a rapidly growing interest in tracing roots. It is no longer a hobby
of the old people but a subject which is sometimes mentioned or even taught in schools. A
Chinese proverb says that "when we do not know where we are going, we need to know
where we come from." In our Society we observe a gradual disintegration of the Family and
a loss of identity. On the other side of the scale, Genealogy is the art of reuniting the
Family and restoring the lost identity. We often see those who were abandoned at birth,
spend large amounts of money trying to find an unknown parent, WANTING TO KNOW
their identity. Their Ancestry, their Family, their noble birthright, becomes an anchor for
them to hold on.
With a fast increasing handling of the original records, those records which still exist
today, will not longer exist tomorrow, unless the original are preserved, in one form or
another, from further deterioration.
THE GENEALOGICAL SOCIETY OF UTAH - FAMILY HISTORY LIBRARY
The "Genealogical Society of Utah" of the Church of Jesus-Christ of Latter Days Saints,
often referred to as "Mormon Church", started a microfilming program, many years ago, of
some of the vital records of many countries. About 250 microfilm camera operators are
filming births, marriages, deaths, and a few other records, in 53 countries. At present
(April 1996) this collection of microfilms is approximately 1.9 million.
For the preservation of these microfilms, a very large vault was dug at great expenses in the
Granite Mountains of the Wasatch front, near Salt Lake City where the original microfilms
are preserved in controlled climatic conditions. A large self service library "Family History
Library" is located down town Salt Lake City at about 20 miles from the Vault. It is open to
the public 83 hours a week (closed on Sunday). It's collection includes about 1 million rolls
of microfilms. Other film copies not permanently stored in the Library must be ordered from
the vault, prior to your research visit.
FAMILY HISTORY CENTERS
There are 2650 Family History Centers or branches of the Family History Library,
throughout the world. Many of them exist in Europe. These are only small branches, but
they all have the complete catalog of the microfilm collection which lists the microfilm
numbers. Please be aware that some of the microfilms cannot circulate on loan to the
European branches. Other unrestricted films can be ordered on loan and there is a small fee
to defray the postal costs. There is a delay for the delivery of the films which need to come
from a service center. After they arrive, the films must be viewed at the Center. But with a
little patience, many researchers have traced their genealogy without having to go very far.
Since these centers are maintained by volunteers, please call them in advance to find out
their schedule.
MICROFILMS OF LUXEMBOURG
The microfilm collection for the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg includes the civil registers
(1796-1892) with ten-year indexes, and the parish registers prior to 1796. It also includes
the recent microfilming of marriage cards from the Parish Registers prior to 1800, extracted
by the "Association Luxembourgeoise de Généalogie et d'Héraldique".
CIVIL REGISTRATION (Vital records)
Sometime around 1796, it became compulsory for the civil authorities of each "commune"
(town) of Luxembourg, to record each birth, marriage and death, which occurred in their
community. This meant that everyone had to be recorded, disregarding their religious
affiliation. This recording continued and is still in effect today.
There are also Ten year indexes which are usually grouped together by locality.
Example of birth ten year index in Vidanden film 1921745 it.3-5
Example of marriage ten year index in Vianden film 1921745 it.3-5
Example of death ten year index in Vianden film 1921745 it.3-5
However the last hundred years are confidential although it is possible for a direct
descendant to obtain a birth or marriage certificate of a dire ct line ancestor, by proving the
direct line relationship. Death certificates are not confidential.
The Genealogical Society of Utah has microfilmed the records of all the localities of the
Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, from 1796 to about 1892. These record s are kept in
chronological order of the occurrence of the event for each locality. Yearly indexes are
found at the end of each year of birth marriage or death.
Because the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg is a rather small country, it is possible to search
ALL of the Ten®year indexes in order to find the town of origin of your emigrant ancestor.
You may want to proceed by searching one county at the time.
The civil re gisters are kept in German or in French depending upon the time period. You do
not have to be fluent in these languages in order to decipher and understand a birth,
marriage or death record. You need to have a sample of the German Gothic Script and a
basic German and French word list.
If you want to read and understand the civil records of Luxembourg, it is necessary that you
learn to read and understand the numbers from 1 to 31, 100, 1000, in order to decipher the
dates and ages.
The months of the year are very much the same as in English. Knowing a few basic words
such as father, mother, son of, daughter of, his wife, brother, sister, will help you to get
started.
Between the years 1792 and 1806, you will find the dates given in the French Republican
Calendar.
You will need to use a converting
Table to convert dates from the French Republican Calendar to the Gregorian Calendar.
