Everyone - Some basic information!

 Hello everyone!

Here's some basic information about when new content will be posted. Starting next week, I plan to add Bradley family tree posts every Tuesday, Stricker family tree posts every Wednesday, Hazen family tree posts every Thursday, and (for now) Rosemeyer tree posts every other Friday. The Rosemeyer branch of the tree is a bit small with many (relatively) recent immigrants.  I hope to dig more deeply into records in Germany- I'm taking an on-line German genealogy research course that will help me and I still remember some of my high school German!

Most posts will focus on an individual, but will usually include information on their families and where they lived. 

On the main blog page, the newest post is at the top, recent posts are at the bottom, and all posts are available from the Archives on the right hand side of the blog. I have enabled comments, so if you have comments or questions about a post, please feel free! 

Of course, feel free to read any of the branches, even if you are not connected to them. I've found so many interesting people in the tree with great life stories to tell, and I hope you enjoy getting to know these people as much as I have. 

If you know someone who would like to read posts about one (or more) of the branches but have difficulty accessing the blog, I have -some- ability to automatically email blog posts as they are published. Send me a note with their email address and which branch or branches are of interest, and I'll see what I can do. This feature is limited to ten total email addresses, but I'll do what I can. 

Some notes on the limits of my research - my goal for every branch was to "find the immigrant" - identify the people who came to the new land, whether it was the Mayflower or Jamestown settlers, the early colonists, or those who came after we became a nation. In a few cases, I have names and information on the immigrants' ancestors wherever they originated, but my goal was to start with the ones who first made the trip. 

Each post will be labeled with one (or more - there is some crossover) of the four surnames, or labeled for Everyone.

Welcome!

Welcome to my genealogy blog! I'm just getting started, but I hope to share family trees, facts, and stories I've uncovered while researching my family and Dave's family. So, I will be posting family trees for the ancestors of Edward Elihu Hazen Jr.,  Ruth Ann Bradley, Roy Ellsworth Stricker, and Anna Elnora Rosemeyer,  My genealogy is a work in progress, and although I strive for accuracy, and have at least one (usually several) historical record to back up each name and relationship, I do make revisions from time to time. My goal for each branch is to trace direct ancestors at leas as far as the first immigrant to the U.S.  I'm new at blogging, so please be patient - I'm learning as I go. Again, welcome! Starla

Rosemeyer Family Tree - Friederick Rosemeyer and Eleanor Kolling

Friederich Rosemeyer  and Eleanor Kolling - Immigrants to Indianapolis Family Connection - great-grandfather and great-grandmother to Anna Rosemeyer Friederich Rosemeyer was born in Germany on Aug. 25, 1844.  I haven't found a marriage record (yet!) but in 1873, he immigrated to the U.S. with his wife Eleanor, age 31, daughter Christine, age 4, and son Friederich, age 11 months. They arrived in New York on September 19th. I assume they traveled by train to Indianapolis from New York City.  Why Indianapolis? We may never know for sure, but it is likely they came because they had connections to other members of Zion Evangelical and Reformed Church (now Zion United  Church of Christ). Indianapolis had a large German immigrant community, and at Zion, they worshipped in German until at least 1928, when the first services in English occurred.  Friederich and Eleanor had six children:     Christina      1869-1875     Frederick  ...

Hazen Family Tree - Edward Hazen

 Edward Hazen - Immigrant, Patriarch of Hazens in the U.S.  Family connection - seventh great-grandfather of Edward Elihu Hazen Jr.  Edward Hazen was born in Cadney, Lincolnshire, England on December 14, 1614. His father was Thomas Hassen (1580-1628). His mother was Elizabeth Mowry (1582-1630).  Edward immigrated to the town of Rowley, MA in 1647. The  town was established in 1639, so he was an early settler, but not an original one.  Edward married Elizabeth, surname unknown. She died on Sept. 18. 1649 and was buried in the Rowley Burial Ground. They had no children.  On Mar. 2, 1650, Edward married Hannah Grant, daughter of Thomas Grant and Jane Haburne. At least one source indicates that the Grant family immigrated to Rowley on the same ship as Edward.  Edward and Hannah had 11 children:          Elizabeth - b. 1651, Hannah - b. 1653, John - b. 1655, Thomas - b. 1657, Edward - b. 1660,         ...
