Author Topic:   Raabs and Gross-Siegharts are in my family pumpkinette Member posted 08-10-2004 04:02 PM             My family history originates in Austria. The two main family names are Welzer and Moritz. I have a family crest which has a lion wearing a crown, and a knight on it with plumes on it. I know that someone in my family was a knight who married a princess(not sure nationality of princess). The names Ludwig Welzer and Dietrich Welzer are within my family. Can anyone help?? ------------------ Merlin Senior Member posted 08-11-2004 05:49 AM             You're in the wrong forum. This one is for questions about individual castles. You should post further down under "General Genealogy". pikeroy Member posted 08-13-2004 05:42 PM          Welzer owned several castles in carinthia, an austrian province close to the border to Italy. They appear in historical notes beginning with the 14. century. Try "+Frauenstein + Welzer " or "+Eberstein +Welzer " on google, or some of the following links : http://www.dickemauern.de/frauenstein_oe/bi.htm http://www.bda.at/aktuell/2003/schatzhaus_frauenstein.htm pumpkinette Member posted 08-28-2004 11:15 AM             That's great, thank you very much. I'll give it a try. :-) ------------------
