Reprint of the original, first published in 1876.

Beginning with those who reached or were born in the New World, explore to the starting points in their or their family’s immigrations from the Old Country and beyond to the Germanic roots of these 3 family branches! This book, Volume II, starts with Matilda Brueggemann – born in Indiana in 1881 and resided as well in Texas and Oklahoma throughout her life. Using this pedigree format, the researcher can then work back in time to the known origination of these Brueggemann ancestors. Eight generations are included in this volume that spans 3 centuries. All books in this series provide extensive information about ancestors from personal data (name, gender, birth & death dates and places, religious affiliation and even occupations if known) to timelines with the ancestor’s life events – often authenticated with transcripts from original records. As well, there is some information provided about their families along with pedigree charts for most ancestors and relationship charts between the starting ancestor and all other ancestors included. For ancestors to whom it applies, a DNA Confirmation section presents known AncestryDNA® matches and gives details about which children passed this DNA to descendants who match to the ancestor they have in common. This can include several generations of offspring from a particular ancestor. Note: The internal links are disabled in this online version and cross-referencing is unavailable.
