Wow, thanks for the picture. That would have been neat to visit the town/village and have somebody show you around.
No I'm not such an old emigrated family. I personally emigrated about 25 years ago, but I also haven't been back in that long. Still have some family there but they are not as invested into genealogy. Seems like one is more interested in the past when one is removed from the area?
Did you visit the town of Weidenhausen too? I haven't found out yet what the relation between the town and the name is. But since we come from peasants and tradespeople I figure we once belonged to the place. =)
Yes I'm in Canada now. =)

Oh awesome. Yes it verifies some of the dates etc. I'm usually cautions adding information simply from other online family trees and taking the names and dates for granted, but at times when I hit a brick wall, it's really the only thing one can do.

I have a part of my family coming from one village and yes it seems everyone is related somehow. =)

At this point I'm just working on 'going back' through the generations, not so much forward. Except if the information has already been researched and is available through birthcertificates etc. online.
Do you have any secrets on how you approach your research once you hit a brickwall and can't find anymore information? Like what do we do with the Weidenhausen line since we can't go any further back then Reichard?  ???

Hi distant relative. So nice to hear from you!!!

Through online familiy trees I was able to get some information up to Johann Jacob W. and Elisabeth Meder. Don't know if it's correct or not, because I can't look it up at Archion in Grueningen churchbooks. Do you know if any Churchbooks of Grueningen are online?
For Johann Peter Heller I have birth and death date, but not where he was born or his parents.
For Catharina Marsteller I have more through Marsteller geneology available, but not her mother?

Anna Elisabeth Henkel supposedly died in Grueningen on 27 jan 1797? Her parents are Johann Henrich Henkel (1689 - 1754) died in Wetter, Marburg area.
His wife was from Ockershausen, Anna Maria (Margarethe) Orthwein, born 1700 in Ockershausen. There is more available for her through the 'Marburger Sippenbuch' on Genwiki.

What do you know about the generations of Weidenhausen prior to Johann Jacob? Would love to find out.

Hi there, just stumbled across this forum because I was looking for information out of the book 'Familienbuch fuer Grueningen.

Are you still available for this?
Johann Nicolaus Weidenhausen born jan 1722 in Gruening, he married a Anna Elisabeth Henkel also from Grueningen.
I'm mainly interested in the previous generations. Are there many generations of Weidenhausen? Or only 1 or two? Where did the come from etc.
Thanks.
P.S.: Is the book about Grueningen still available to buy somewhere?
