Background

The data spacific to Wiederhold are described in Wiederhold Documents. They amount to about 1200 pages originally collected into 12 handbound typed books by Alfred Wiederhold over a long period (1930-1985). These have now been scanned in, and also copied to a Compact Disc (CD). I can make copies of the CD available to people interested in the genealogy of the Wiederhold family. Send me email. Copies of the charts only - which had very small fonts -- are attached to this web page.

Scans of the Genealogy pages

Several lines of Wiederhold's were recorded by Alfred Wiederhold. The major lins are Felsberg (mine) amd Homberg an der Efze. These I can now can link to data for Wedderold/Wiederhold in book I cently obtained: Stamtafeln Warburg. For most of the scans here, in general the first letter of a file name identifies the volumes and subsequent letters the town sections, as I for for `Helmshausen', G for 'Gensungen, R for `Rhuende', etc. There'll be more as more tables are entered.

A second, larger, set of ancestry records is from Homberg, an early branch line, split about 1480 from my direct ancestors. That line leads, among others, to the Wiederhold lines in Chile and in Malakka and Indonesia. I appreciate information about current descendants. Many are are on Facebook,, in a group "My Name is Wiederhold".

In general the pages are arranged arranged top-left, top-right, bottom-left, bottom-right.
    (some files are now arranged top-left, top-right, bottom-right, bottom-left; I'll fix those when I can).
The top-right page has the family line identification. The pages scans in a file overlap, to help in matching the pages, I added red blocks to identify identical entries.
In the tables Roman numerals on the left identify generation numbers, starting around 1450.

When an entry says just `Sohn' (son) or `Tochter' (daughter) then little is known about that person. That happens often when children died young - very common in older times. Also, later children were sometimes given the same name as children that died earlier.

The files are identified using a code: WqqnnTaPa+yystart-yyend or WV##descriptor@placename+yystart-yyend, Where:

To see if you are a descendant in one of the available current charts:
  1. Use a birthdate of a Wiederhold parent or grandparent,
  2. Go to a file that spans that that birthdate.
  3. If a place of origin is known, go first to files with that primary @placename, but people did move about.
  4. Look on the bottom pages for that parent or grandparent. Siblings apear left to right. The first names appear below the sibling number. Below are the birth and death dates, then oo marriage date(s), the spouse's names (both first and family) and dates, the profession, and where they lived.
  5. When birthdates are imprecise, the place of birth or death may help.
  6. If not found on that spanning file, go to the next file that spans the birthdate.
  7. If you have found an entry for a parent/grandparent, trace up and note the birthdate of the eldest ancestor on that page.
Note that Wiederhold lines are terminated in the charts when there were no sons.

It's all in German, of course, and often abbreviated, click to find lists of common abbreviations for names, professions, and towns, as well as some background information. Do send me an email if you found your ancestors, and I'll add an annotation; that will make it easier to find related families. Also let me know if there are problems with any of the pages. It is easy to get them messed up

The current files are from 200K to 3 500K bytes, less than 500Kb if size is not given.
