Sources[edit]

What are the sources of this information? The Harger book doesn't get into as much detail as what is here. Just curious. --SHLAMA 04:44, 28 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Do you mean the bit on the general history or the section on people or the bit about the partitions or the bit about the rulers? - Nomadic1 08:00, 28 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The people section is from Swenna Harger's book. I'm interested in where the general history was found, and the info on rulers. My family is from that region - Aalt Piccardie and Georgsdorf. Thanks! --SHLAMA 09:34, 28 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The stuff on the states and rulers is nothing new on the internet. This site has many of the German states: ellone-loire.net/obsidian/regindex.html. There are several others out there too (with more and less), but Obsidian's is good. The other stuff about I got was from looking up about the more specific history of the County of Bentheim. Kind of a shame when most of it ended up about Tecklenburg, Lingen, Rheda, and Steinfurt instead (which I got laszy and didn't write much about). I don't have my sources for that though. - Nomadic1 22:34, 28 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
