Hi Kirsten,
sorry for my late response, I'm very busy at the moment, but also very curiously, to hear more about you and your family.
And today, I take much time to write you a long, long eMail.... ;o)
At first, I'm very surprised to hear that germans had settled in Denmark, I never heard anything about this and it's very interessting. Further I thought, that the germans settled in america and in the colonies in africa. Denmark ist new for me - but it's always time to learm more ;o)
It's a great pity, that you don't know the city of birth of Phillip Carl Luckey...
But here I have an interesting Link for you, it's:
http://christoph.stoepel.net/geogen/v3/MapGateway.aspx?name=luckey&target=DE&renderer=DE_DE&mode=relhttp://christoph.stoepel.net/geogen/v3/MapGateway.aspx?name=luckey&target=DE&renderer=DE_DE&mode=rel
Please copy this whole link in your browser-window, and I hope it will work and you see the map of germany with the geographical extension of the family-name Luckey. The most of them were come from the Landkreis Waldeck-Frankenberg, in the most other states in Germany there aren't enough Luckeys.
or you can use this Link: http://christoph.stoepel.net/geogen/v3/Default.aspxhttp://christoph.stoepel.net/geogen/v3/Default.aspx
and than you have to search with the name Luckey or Meyer
than you have to use the button "Relative Darstellung of Luckey" and you will see the map of the extension.
I live in Frankfurt, but the family of my father live in Landkreis Waldeck-Frankenberg. So, it could be possible, that your grand-grand-father came from this area in germany, because there are the most Luckey in germany...
It could be possible...
But I can tell you something interessting about your relative Johann Andreas Meyer and Jürgen Meyer.
Meyer is the expression for a old profession, this was a man who has the responsibility for an big farm in the order of an bigger man a lord or landlord or so.
He could also presents the law and speaks justice for smaller crimes...
The writing of "Meyer" is located in the north or middle of old germany, the other writing "Maier or Mayer" is located in the south down to munich and austria.
So there are a lot of Meyers in Germany, but the most of them aren't relatives, because the name was the old profession in the past.
If you look in the map of Meyer, you will very surprised - with this name it's very difficult to find a real person, because their are too much of them... It's like, to look for a needle in the desert...
So, I hope you could unterstand, what I have tried to explain... And I hope it's something new for you?!
It's very interessting to hear, that you are darkhaired - I thing I had read something about genetic, and it's a fact that darkhaired is from the gene very dominant and it's very seldom that you get a blond-haired person in the family because the dark-gene is too strong.
Don't worry to write in english to me, it's a good training for me, because in the evening I go to english-class to learn more and better the language - and german is very difficult, so never mind. English is a good platform to meet...
May I ask, where do you come from?
I live in Bad Soden, it's a small city 26 kilometers far from Frankfurt/Main (once West-Germany)...
We (my boy-friend and I) are very interessted in history and read much of articles about it or watch documentation on TV.
And you? How long do you look for your relatives, is it your hobby?
So, at the moment it's enough with my curiosity, and I hope, it's o.k. for you??
I wish you the best and a nice sunday-evening.
Yours sincerly
Tanja
