WORD OF WARNING :  Do not use the information in this note or in any of these notes as an authority.  The information may be true but the presentation for these notes is meant to be interpreted as "what might be done" by research in the German church records, the principal source of the data.  Do not copy the information onto family group sheets without more careful verification.

What can be done is that many lines can be carried back into the 1500's, but at that point, progress becomes very difficult.  Tracing the maternal sides is often more difficult.  When another locality is involved, the spelling seldom conforms to modern geographical names. I have rendered the unlauted vowels by adding an "e".  Thus "ü" becomes "ue".

(NOTE FROM WEB PAGE AUTHOR: Originally, in John's notes, he had rendered all "ü" as "u", "ö" as "o", etc.  I have already changed most of John's American transliterations back to the German characters.  If you find any I have missed, please let me know by sending me an e-mail .  George W. Durman)
