Another Ancestor Chart


This is a chart of my ancestors. It only goes back to 1) a point where I just don't have any more information or 2) an immigrant ancestor for whom I can go further back but just don't have the space.

Immigrant ancestors' names are italicized.

Keep in mind that I subscribe to The Way-I-Do-Genealogy-Makes-Real-Genealogists-Spin-In-Their-Graves School of Genealogical Research. Though I am pretty confident in what I've learned about my family tree back to about the 1830s or so, much before that has been, um, "borrowed."

1. These ancestors are thought to be immigrant ancestors but no records of their immigration can be found.
2. She seems to have been born in Pennsylvania at relatively early time (1730) for Pennsylvania Germans. Her parents must certainly have been immigrants.
3. If Leonhardt's (Leonhard Weissner) father was Johann Michael Wiesner (many spellings for Wiesner), then he would have come to America as a child.
4. If Rosina's father was Erhardt Schick, then she would have come to America as a child.
5. Hannah Howell may have emigrated from Berkeley, Gloucestershire, England, as a child though most sources say she was born in Pennsylvania at a very early date (about 1666). She is the daughter of Thomas Howell who may have come to America from Berkeley in 1683.
6. If Johann Christian's father was Johann Michael Ittich/Itig who settled around Schoharie, New York, then the family is from Landshausen in the Kraichgau region of Baden.
7. Apparently, there is no evidence of Andreas Müller being an immigrant, but one can't help think that his parents were. His parents' names are unknown.
8. Evidence for Christopher's ancestry is shaky at best.
9. Charles Hickman seems to have been an immigrant. A descendant says he was from Holland, but it seems more likely that he was the son of Andreas Heckman of Wolfersweiler in the Saarland. Andreas immigrated in 1742. Charles was born about 1735.
10. Catharina's surname was originally Vieillard (various spellings). She was a Huguenot descendant.
11. Anna Barbara LeFevre may have been a daughter or granddaughter of Isaac LeFevre and Catherine Ferree.
12. There is no record of Barbara's father's (Alexander Heinrich Brandenburg) immigration to America. Men who are thought to be his brothers came from Niederhattert and Winkelbach. These towns are only two or three kilometers apart. They were in the Grafschaft (county) of Sayn-Hachenburg when they left in the 1750s. Later they were part of Nassau.
