I hope someone can help me. I am looking for any information on my great-grandmothers' surname and any family related. Her name is VON KLOZE, Paulina Ida Lousie. She was born on 15 August sometime between 1881 and 1886 in the province or Pommern, Prussia. She married Uiltje Schouwstra in that province around 1902-1905. There first two children were also born in Prussia. They were Lisa (Elisabeth?), born 1906 and Willy (maybe Wilhelm) whose birthdate is unknown. They then moved to Limberg, The Netherlands where my grandfather Lieuwe Erich Schoustra was born. Paulina Von Kloze (two dots above the 'o' in Kloze) died in Leeuwarden, Friesland, The Netherlands in 1942. My family and I have hit a complete blank with the surname Von Kloze. My mother, who is her grand-daughter, found out that Paulina Von Kloze is a descendant from a royal or noble family in Prussia. I also know that no one in my mothers' family would talk about her past or her family. So any help or information would be greatly appreciated. |

Thanks for the link epedia, but I should have mentioned we tried websites like that and didn't get anywhere apart from one website which only listed another family member. I was kind of hoping someone in Germany, Poland, or The Netherlands would be able to help. I should also mention that we tried to obtain a death certificate for my great-grandmother but the place that deals with all that stuff in the city she died doesn't have any record of her. |

Is it possible that you have a mistake in the name's spelling? |

Pomerania was one of the larger Prussian provinces. Do you know if your ancestors were living in a town or in a village? |

My guess is that the original spelling was "Klötze". It's a much more common spelling, and is also the name of a town in Saxony-Anhalt. |

The "Deutsches Adelsarchiv" (German Nobility Archive) in Marburg told me today that they don't know anything about a family "von Klöze" or "von Klötze". The "Deutsches Adelsarchiv" does not have its own website but it is mentioned fairly often, i.e.: "For research with names that start with "von" (nobility)" http://www.birchy.com/posen-l/GGRA/Archives.html The family is not mentioned in "Adelslexikon": http://www.starkeverlag.de/shopfactory/de/dept_27.html |
