Part 909bs – Brunhammer Schwimmer – The Search Continues

Good Day,

As a part of my search to discover whether or not Marie Anne Schwimmer (bc 1816) and Marie Anne Schwimmer (bc 1820) are related it is necessary for me to create a worksheet ancestry chart in order to verify all possible connections.

It is known that there are a number of Family Trees available in Internetland that exist without any source documentation or citation details. That is where I like to start. I use that information and then I search for the corroborating documents.

The following Brunhammer Schwimmer Family Tree is the beginning of that work.

For me, the best type of software I use for this type of exercise is GenoPro 2016. There is a freedom with this software that permits me to create a worksheet and to use it like an electronic "white board".

First of all, if you cannot view a good enlargement of my Brunhammer Schwimmer Research Work Sheet please feel free to drop me a note at jsmith58@gmail.com and I will send you a jpg file.

And here are a few notes and a key regarding understanding my work on the actual worksheet.

1. I have identified the 2 Marie Anne Schwimmers; each one married to GGG-Granduncle Laurent Brunhammer and Sébastien Brunhammer. See the blue box and the red arrows.

2. The red lines, not including the red arrows, are the coordinating links that I have found to date and they represent the Brunhammer connections.

3. The blue-bounded yellow-filled boxes and circles represent direct blood-line ancestors. The boxes represent Males and the Circles represent Females.

4. The "~" represents an approximate year.

5. The "<" represents the possibility of a date before the one given.

6. The ">" represents the possibility of a date after the one given.

7. The column of "Greats" on the left-hand side of the worksheet represents the level of the ancestor on the Brunhammer Family Tree and the relationship to Andy. In other words, "6-Greats" refers to Great-Great-Great-Great-Great-Great-Grandfather Conradi Bruhamer or 6-times Great-Grandfather Conradi Bruhamer.

Just my observations.

And now onto another piece of evidence.

The genealogy research and search for ancestors and descendants continue.

Family connections can be seen on the family tree, the Brunhammer Doherty Family Tree. If you would like access to the tree you will need an invitation from me. You can sign up with Ancestry, and from what I understand, without having to take a membership subscription. Feel free to contact me at jsmith58@gmail.com if you would like to receive an invite to the Brunhammer Doherty Family Tree.

If you have any comment, question, thought, idea please feel free to contact me via email at A Genealogy Hunt or jsmith58@gmail.com.

Regards,

Jim
