[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Dabie Lutheran

[Spaghettitree at aol.com]

Looking at one source, Names, Nicknames and Misspelled Names by  Nancy 
Ellen Carlberg, which is more a collection than an explanation, I had  thought 
you would be most certainly correct, but not according to this  book.   Luise 
says see Louise, Lucy and there are dozens of versions  of those, but 
nothing close to Elizabeth, as would seem logical -  Liza/Louisa/Luise.   In 
another source, German Names - A Practical  Guide by Kenneth L. Smith, a very 
scholarly approach, again, many versions  of Elizabeth, but beginning with Li 
rather than Lo or Lu.  Louise or  Luise isn't even mentioned here.   So this 
Luise appears to derive from  Louise or Lucy rather than Elizabeth..  
According to The Facts on File  Dictionary of First Names by Dunkling and 
Gosling, again, lists of  alternates and nicknames for Elizabeth along with its 
historical origin but  none beginning with Lo or Lu.  Louise is declared as the 
French feminine  form of Louis. Lucy is stated to be the "normal English 
form of  Lucia".   Luise is not listed.   
 
If I locate anything to the contrary, I'll let you know.

Michael,

Al Muth has done a lot of work in Dabie, but it  appears that deaths are 
the last thing he works on- after marriages and  births- and he appears 
not to have done them for the data you  seek.

As you may know, there is some connection between Luise and  Elisabeth 
that must have something to do with the short version of  Elisabeth (if 
anyone on this list can explain this, I would be glad to see  it).   With 
this in mind, please look at the latest Master  Pedigree Database (MPD) 
that was just uploaded yesterday and look for Anna  Elisabeth Nickel.   
You will not see any death data, but you  will see that name connected to 
both Gottfried Zaretzke and Georg Makus,  although we are not showing the 
two Anna Elisabeth Nickel as the same  person at this point.
