Research/Writing in Progress: Brenneman

(last updated 3/24/22)

Research questions:

CAN WE CONFIRM OUR LINEAGE BACK TO MELCHIOR?

HOW ARE THE VARIOUS BRENNEMAN FAMILIES IN SOMERSET COUNTY, PA, AND GARRETT COUNTY, MD, RELATED?

Newly discovered resources:

SEE SOMERSET CO. BIOGRAPHIES IN USGWARCHIVES.ORG AND “FREDERICK WILLIAM BENDER,” RELATIVE OF OUR MARIA & DANIEL.

Articles begun:

NONE

Speculation:

A CONNECTION TO MELCHIOR “THE EXILE/REFUGEE” IS VERY LIKELY, GIVEN THE THEOLOGICAL CLOSENESS OF FAMILIES, IF NOT THEIR GEOGRAPHICAL PROXIMITY, OF THE AMISH COMMUNITY OVR THE YEARS. CONNECTIONS BEFORE THAT, LIKEWISE, ARE LIKELY FOR THE SAME REASONS.
