Welcome to the
Wittman Family Genealogy home page
Willkommen auf der
Wittmann Familienforschungsseite
From what I have been told but have not been able to confirm. My family
originated from Baden-Baden, Germany the Elsass-Lothringen
(Alsace-Lorraine)
area. Point of export unknown but told that they came into a port near
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. As far back as I know a John Wittman was
first into America and married a Catherine Wiesner (date & origin
unknown) and they had 10
children.
Now for what I have found out in the past month (as of May 1,
1998). John Wittman was from Mitgenfeld, Bavaria, Germany
according to his marriage information. He married Catherine
Wiesner of Rochester, NY on April 22, 1862. I do not have
exact birth or death dates for their 10 children but have rough
approximates from Federal and NY State Census records.
(September 20, 1998) I have drawn the conclusion that my
current Surname of 'Wittman' was originally 'Wittmann'. From the
marriage
record of John Wittman to Catherine Wiesner, his fathers surname is
shown
as 'Wittmann' and so is John's, but death notice and tombstone show
'Wittman'.
If anyone has an idea how I might go about finding if he legally
changed
this or just dropped the second 'n'.

I am in the process (slow) of collecting, borrowing old
family photos and scanning them into
the computer for a permanent digital record. All photos will be
documented as to who or
what they are showing and possibly who contributed them. I am
able to restore the image
quality to some extent. The photos are scanned in at a resolution
that will enable myself or
others to reproduce the image as close to its original as
possible. File size is not an issue so
that "quality" is not compromised! If you would like to
contribute
to this project please feel
free to e-mail me and we can discuss it. Click
