    I am curious to know if anyone has had a DNA test, and where exactly in the Holy Roman Empire the Hagenbuch family came from(besides Stuttgart).

      Thanks for the info, Calvin. If you want, I can put you in contact with Kim Sebestyen who is featured in the article and also a descendant of Johann Jacob Wetzel. Good to hear from you and glad you have read our articles.

    Hi Mark, Yes please contact Kim for me and send her my e-mail. I am also a contributor on the Find A Grave site and have done much work on the descendants of Sgt. Philip Wetzel Sr.-2961 (1751-1826), artillery, PA. Continental Line, 13th Regiment. I have been working on connecting this family on Find A Grave. Many are located in New Berlin, Snyder Co. PA.

    I am the 6th great grandson of George Ilgenfritz and his wife Applonia. Who was born in 1702 and died in 1749 where he settled with his son George Ilgenfritz II.

    My 5th great grandfather was a Patriot in the American Revolution and lived from 1728 – 1810 and had 17 children in total.

    It would be interesting if you built a page for decendents of the Charming Nancy voyage.

      Hi Merle. Thanks for your comment and nice to hear from you! That’s a neat idea, and we will keep it in mind. Our main focus is Hagenbuch family history which keeps us quite busy 🙂 Take care and thanks again!

    If you would create the page I’d be glad to do the work and send you the content. My email is merleiz@yahoo.com, I think it would be a great resource for researchers.
