Now the family has a Netherland branch. The story behind: In May my brother Henrik received an email by Cornelis Johannes Osterwijk, who searched for his ancestors. According to his data, we could match him to the tree of Gerd Henrich Osterwisch. The tree is still not complete. We will need to talk to Cor to get more data. It might be difficult to get the tree linked to the merged tree. But Gerd Henrich was definitely born in Niedermehnen and belongs to our family. See the “What’s new ?” section.

The most exciting finding in the last few weeks is a transcription of a handwritten contract (1, 2, 3). This finally proves that Carl Friedrich Osterwisch and Johann Friedrich Osterwisch were half brothers. This is the connection between the Cincinnati Osterwisches and the German Osterwisches. The puzzle is completed. See also the trees in the download area. I will add a try of an English translation of the transcription in future. That will be more or less a free translation, a word by word translation is far too difficult. More information:

Added results of my research in August 2005. Slowly but surely I am coming to an end of the research of church registry. I now started browsing thru the death records.

With my recent findings in the church books of Levern, the immigration information of Wilhelm Niermann and the information on St. Peter's Lutheran Church in New Memphis, Illinois, I could extend the tree of Johan Ernst into the U.S. For an overview visit the “What’s new ?” section.
