Below are listed my known [as of August 13, 2022] German ancestors, first listed in order indicating their relationship to me and then listed in order of their arrival in America. Also noted is to which of my grandparents they are related: Hervey Dahlstrom, Mahelia Mahnke Dahlstrom, or Lena Manske Gronlund. [Note: The ancestors of my great grandfather Swan Gronlund are all Swedish with no German connection.]
I have 26 known individual names of ancestors born in what is now Germany or was Prussia / Germanic territory. All but 4 are immigrants. All but 4 died in the colonies or U.S. There are 15 distinct surnames:
Englert; Baier [Beyer]; Hoth; Mueller; Lucas; Hilbrandt; Mandelkow; Dahlstrom (1); Dahlstrom (2); Kohls; Kohlts; Dupratz; Mahnke; Rieckhoff; Manske.
[Note: I have documentation for Nelson Englert, born 1805 in New York. However, the documentation is still tenuous for linking him with certainty to the line leading back to Ulrich Englert and his son Adam Englert, and to the Baier [Beyer] line. I have a good argument for the connection and I am continuing to work on documentation. Also, Nelson’s wife Susan’s maiden name is noted in her obituary as France; however, in the area of Pennsylvania where she is from, I only find families with the names Franz or Frantz, so there most likely are additional German ancestors on this line, which I also am continuing to work on documenting.]
