	Birds and All Nature: The Canary
		The islands are in the latitude of Florida and the climate may be said to be of a tropical character, though varied by lofty mountains.
		Most of the Hartz Mountain canaries are somewhat mottled with dark, greenish-brown, though many of the birds are clear yellow, and few have crests.
		Milwaukee supplies the United States with the bulk of the Hartz Mountain canaries, and there is no great crime in the deception, for the Milwaukee bird is really an improvement on the imported article, having just as fine a voice and being much hardier.

	Silver Fir Cones A Story from The Hartz Mountains, Germany by Sheryl Ann Karas

	Warsaw Voice - SECRETS OF THE SOWIE MOUNTAINSPart 2-The Builders
		There were three main regions in the Third Reich where underground facilities were located: the Tyrol in Austria and the neighboring Bavaria in Germany, central Germany (including the Hartz Mountains, around the town of Nordhausen), and Lower Silesia (the Sudetes with the Sowie Mountains).
		By May 1944 all the work on the headquarters in the Sowie Mountains had been taken over by the OT, and prisoners of the nearby concentration camp of Gross-Rosen (Jews-mainly Hungarian, Greek and Polish) were added to the forced laborers and POWs.
		The Sowie Mountains with their highest peak, Wielka Sowa (1,015 m above sea level), are an imposing massif stretching 25 km westwards from the Bystrzyca River valley to Srebrna Pass, which separates them from the Bardzkie Mountains.

		Sometimes known as Hartz Mountain Roller Canaries, these birds were extensively bred in the Tyrol region of Germany.
		It should be noted that in North America the 'Hartz' canary is a distinct and separate breed from the 'German Roller'.
		The old European name for the German Roller was the 'Hartz Mountain Roller', and for this reason some people still get these terms confused with the present day breeds.

	Johannsmeyer Family of Rattinghausen, Germany - pafn01 - Generated by Personal Ancestral File
		The community had a house, a farm, and several other buildings, collectively called an "Odal," all belonging to the man of the house or "Househerr." Under the Saxons, the Odal was the inviolable inheritance of the farmer's line or family, unsalable, unencumberable and indivisible.
		In the context of settlement patterns, historical practices in the division of land, and analysis of farm plots in Rattinghausen, it is probable that the progenitor of these families settled on the property prior to the 11th century.
		With the departure of Clamor Adolph and his brother Henrich Wilhelm Johannsmeyer to America and the subsequent death of their youngest brother, Christian Henrich, in Germany, the ownership of the Rattinghausen farm by direct descendants of Johan Henrich Ohmann came to an end.
