What happened is that the spoken languages are not necessarily written in the written language of the same name. Sometimes, the spoken language for a region is a common language, such as Aramaic was in biblical times. Everyone spoke Aramaic, but wrote it in a variety of character sets. Sometimes, either or both the language and character set is specific to the region, trade, politics, status, etc. For example, the Emperor of Japan during WWII had a very different spoke language than what was spoken by the common people. That was to isolate the Emperor from the common people. That worked well until the Emperor Hirohito had to give his famous "Bear the Unbearable" speech near the end of WWII. It went out over loudspeakers and radio to all over Japan. Nobody could understand what he was saying, so it had to be repeated by someone else in the language of the common people. This kind to stratification was very common in biblical times. The priesthood had their own language and character set. The various merchants all spoke Aramaic, but used the written language familiar to those with whom they were trading. Something similar happened with the decoding of the Rosetta Stone. It was the same proclamation written in Egyptian hieroglyphs, Coptic, and Greek. Greek and Coptic could be read, but not the hieroglyphics. What Champollion determined was that hieroglyphs could be read just like Latin characters, where each symbol represents a sound in spoken Egyptian. By substituting the similar Coptic equivalents for the hieroglyphs, Egyptian could be read. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosetta_Stone#Reading_the_Rosetta_Stone If you go to Hawaii, they say Hawaiian place names in the native Hawaiian spoken language, but since there wasn't a written language, they just borrowed the Latin characters and pronunciation. Same thing in biblical times. Language and characters were fairly independent. Modern Hebrew is also quite different from biblical Hebrew. When the Zionist movement setup the framework for what was eventually to become Israel, they had a problem with the language. Hebrew was the language of the bible and was not easily converted to something that could be used for everyday commerce. For example, it has very few technical terms. In an effort to find a quick fix, Theodor Hertzl wanted to use Yiddish, which is mediaeval German, as the official language of Israel. Yiddish uses the written Hebrew alphabet, but is spoken in German. It's much like Polish and Russian are fairly similar spoken languages, but Polish is written using Latin characters, while Russian uses Cyrillic (Greek) characters. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UB5MtF70xe8 Anyway, I hope this helps disconnect spoken and written languages. My mother's name was Herz which is nothing more than one of the many spelling variations of Hertz, Hertzl , Herzle etc. which was the Austrian Royal Family. What isn't a matter of discussion is that Moses spoke Aramaic even if he could understand Hebrew. He also spoke and understood middle Egyptian and Median. Moses received not just the Ten Commandments but the Torah or "law" We have that until today. The Talmud is a scholarly interpretation of the Torah and the prophesies of Moses.

The name variations seem to be correct, https://www.houseofnames.com/herz-family-crest but I couldn't find any connection with Austria: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Austrian_nobility https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_untitled_nobility_of_Austria-Hungary For nobility, Herz seems to be more German than Austrian. However, there are people and companies in Austria with the name Herz: https://www.google.com/search?q=herz+austria https://herz-armaturen.at/page.php?cID=12&lng=eng What isn't a matter of discussion is that Moses spoke Aramaic even if he could understand Hebrew. He also spoke and understood middle Egyptian and Median. Ok, I won't discuss it, even though there are errors. Please let me know when it becomes an acceptable topic of discussion. Moses received not just the Ten Commandments but the Torah or "law" Nope. Moses is commonly shown carrying two tablets containing a total of 10 commandments down the mountain. In reality, there were quite a few more laws: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_given_to_Moses_at_Sinai By about 300 AD, the initial collection expanded 613 commandments: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/613_commandments and eventually expanded into the Talmud. The Talmud was mostly inscribed while the entire Jewish population was vacationing in Babylonia, by scholars who thought it might be a good idea to inscribe the oral history and update the laws before everyone assimilated into Babylonian culture. To do this, the Talmud had to be written in a script and language that was generally understandable. So, they used Hebrew characters to represent Aramaic words: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewish_Babylonian_Aramaic We have that until today. Does that mean we no longer have all that today? What happened today to make it all disappear? The Talmud is a scholarly interpretation of the Torah and the prophesies of Moses. It does that, but also includes all kinds of strange stuff. Here's a typical page from the Talmud: https://people.ucalgary.ca/~elsegal/TalmudPage.html The section in the middle is the original text from the Torah. The sections surrounding the original text is rabbinical commentary and margin notes. Drag the mouse around the page and a rectangular box will appear with a suitable description. Click and a page will appear expounding on its history and purpose in excruciating detail. -- Jeff Liebermann PO Box 272 http://www.LearnByDestroying.com Ben Lomond CA 95005-0272 Skype: JeffLiebermann AE6KS 831-336-2558 |

I considered it comical since there are no Royal Families accepted in this country but the English house. I don't think that Habsburg was a name but a place in Switzerland and the name was something like John of Habsburg or the like. I think I gave the source at the time I discovered it. I can't find any reference at this time. Perhaps it was more Ancestry.com bull****. They would have a great deal of trouble tracing my heritage because so many people entered this country illegally. In the late 1800's you had to enter through the Port of New York, the Port of Seattle and the Port of San Francisco where you could register as an immigrant and file for citizenship. Since most people entered from elsewhere they had to file at these places for citizenship and if you were illiterate you bypassed that. Inasmuch as your children were automatically citizens and there was no such thing as ICE in those days it really didn't much matter. |

It never surprises me in the least that you think that a 76 year old man has older living relatives that could tell you your lineage.

This art can get a bit expensive (looked for share cert sites) as you may need all of birth, marriage and death records for each person. The gold mine can be the other information recorded and this is where 'church' records can be helpful. All my UK antecedents had left by the time official records started and mostly the "records" were priests reports to the Bishop, but the occasional surviving priest record book would also include the male grandfather on children's birth entry. thus enabling that families tree to be walked back. You may also need to search shipping records, but these can be very patchy. I picked up one families emigration from Scotland to Australia, because the whole family was listed on the passenger list. Look for multiple sources for everything. The last thing you want to accept is anything listed at Ancestry. Even the LDS familysearch site(derived from bishops reports,but also contributed expansions) has fake records. According to one idiot on geni.com, our family has roots going back to the Kings of Wessex. Those family reminiscences I suggested first are the most useful when you get stumped. especially when they verbatim repeat stuff they have been told or overheard. These often give clues of where to look when you don't know where to start, but grain of salt. As always, YMMV, but I've managed to build family back over ten generations through 'records', but a BIL only has three as all records went up in flames in WWII. It never surprises me in the least that you think that a 76 year old man has older living relatives that could tell you your lineage. My older brother cannot even remember the name of our mother's father. As always YMMV. If you do not have anyone in the family, then it is a document trail search. In one line of my ancestors where there is no possibnle chance of a paper trail, all the 'cousin of the line tell the same story of where the line came from. |
