In about 1759, a ship carrying Justice Gonce and his family sailed up the Delaware River toward Philadelphia. When the ship (likely British) made its normal stop at the Fort in Newcastle (modern day Delaware), the family disembarked and soon traveled overland to Cecil County, Maryland. Within fifty years, descendants of Justice and Magdalen Gonce and their three sons Rudolph, Abraham and Daniel had not only settled in both Maryland and Delaware, but had spread as far south as the frontier areas of Tennessee and Alabama. Justice, Magdalen and their sons are the ancestors of virtually all the...

Data Management is one of the few responsibilities of Information Technology for which a solid logical and mathematical foundation exists - a proven foundation of organization, categorization, and data validation techniques with a long history that has formed the underpinning for virtually all of the "hard sciences" over the last few millennia. Inexplicably, IT groups generally seem to be unaware of, or at least to largely ignore, this scientific foundation. When typical business database designs are contrasted with minimal scientific standards of data organization, it is difficult not to...

On the night of 27 January 1726, Anna-Maria Anstett, the wife of Johann Oberle of Dagsburg in Lotharingia, took shelter in the Mauri Monastery while traveling in Alsace. With the help of a midwife, Anna-Maria delivered her fifth child, also named Johann, who is believed to be a younger brother of Balthassar Oberle, who was born in about 1711. More than a century later, on 17 July 1855, Balthassar's great-great-grandson Seraphin was born in the town of Engenthal-le-Bas in Alsace. The Oberle family had already lived through the climatic disasters of the middle eighteenth century, the French...

The earliest members of the Hartman family - Quakers from the Palatinate - had settled in William Penn's territory by late 1740, with the particular branch discussed her settling in Berks County, northwest of where the first Hartmans arrived in Philadelphia. In the late 1780s, when the many frontier (then in east-central Pennsylvania) disputes had been settled, the family migrated further northwest to what is now Pennsylvania's Columbia County. By the late 19th century, Grier Hartman had migrated to Illinois. This book summarizes the family history of this Hartman branch from colonial times,...

In the latter part of the 1680s, Johannes David of Hul's Hoff (Hul's Farm) became a Dragoner and was eventually stationed at Gut Swede in Cappeln - some 100 miles to the northeast. There he met and married Anna Margareta Thoben from nearby Dingel. In 1855, their great-great grandson Johann Gerhart Hulshoff and his pregnant wife Lisette left Bremen on the bark Eberhard and sailed to the port of New Orleans Louisiana. The child was born during the journey. From New Orleans, the Hulshoffs traveled overland to Baltimore Maryland. In September 1896, Johannes David Hulshoff's fourth...
