Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the Descendants of Nicholas Beery: Born in Switzerland Emigrated From Switzerland to Pennsylvania in Complete and a Complete Genealogical Family Register With Biographies of Many of His Descendants, From the Earliest Available Records to the Present Time; Dates in Three Centuries Where do you find an intelligent people who would post pone any secular work or business transaction for 200 years, with an evident prospect of never having it accomplished? This is precisely what has been neglected in producing a written history long ago of Nicholas Beery and his many thousands of descendants. The author acknowledges that deep down in his heart he has an insuppressible feeling that we should do honor and reverence to our dear and worthy ancestors, who paved the way for our American liberties and our Christian privileges, and our present prosperity. I very much doubt whether there is one in a thousand of the readers of this history who even thinks of, or appreciates the blessings that have come to us through the emigration to America of our dear old ancestor, Nicholas Beery, of 1727. He, with thousands of others who were compelled by the Swiss government to do military service and who entertained non-resistant principles, left that domain and came to America, where religious liberty was promised to them by William Penn, through whose tireless and angelic efforts these conscientious and harmless people were sheltered in Pennsylvania. Because of persecution and oppression in Switzerland a large body of Mennonites fled from the cantons of Zurich, Berne and Schaffenhausen to Pennsylvania, where they purchased a large body of timber land of Penn's agents in Lancaster and other counties, where, among the Indians and wild beasts, the Swiss settlement formed a nucleus or center of a rapidly-increasing Swiss, German and French colony.

Download or read book Johannes Stahler Descendants written by Augustus O. Thomas II BSEE P.E. and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2019-05-03 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research on the Stahler family and related names began in 1990 simultaneously with researching information on the Thomas (paternal) and Murphy (maternal) books, which took us from New England to Colorado. The Stahler book took place in the southwest counties of Pennsylvania. All but two surnames in this volume are from Germany and many names repeated in family stories. Because of this, a superscript was used in discussion to clarify generations (also used for footnotes). Stories are remembered. One is Jacob Christman was killed on his farm, and another Jacob Christmen was also killed on the same farm. Or that Gloria’s father was the first athlete playing high school football. They played at Pottsville and won 19–13. “The newspaper account pointed out Pottsville hit a pass receiver in the crowd and he scored two touchdowns through this deception.”

Download or read book The History of the Von Farne Family written by Gottfried Fahrni and published by . This book was released on 2021-08-05 with total page 488 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The History of the Von Farne Family takes the reader on a journey through time that spans over five hundred years, describing massive historical upheavals in the lives of fourteen generations of one family-lineage's history going back to the Reformation of 1528 in the Swiss Berner Oberland. Over time, our Von Farne descendants changed their patronymic in Europe to Farni and later to Fahrni; those who emigrated to the USA became Fahrneys and Forneys. Some Farni ancestors had converted to Anabaptism (Amish) many of whom faced torture and confiscation of their properties; their preachers were simply hanged or drowned in the river. Some bloodline Farni Anabaptists became martyrs; others were forced to flee to Pennsylvania in 17th Century. Several Farni ancestors were also involved in local wars such as the War of Thun and, a few years later, the Swiss Peasant War in which bloodline-Ulli Farni Junior was a leading hero and suffered torture during his eight years' imprisonment in the Castle of Thun. During the early 19th Century, waves of Fahrni ancestors emigrated to the USA and settled in New Philadelphia, Ohio, and elsewhere. Some of them or their descendants became important business owners. Several second-generation Fahrneys became high ranking military officers, one of whom rose to the height of Rear-Admiralty of the US Navy. Another Fahrney sat on the Board of Directors of Standard Oil, then the largest oil company in the world, and saw large ships and carriers proudly carry the Fahrney name on the oceans of the world. In early 20th Century, three Fahrni brothers emigrated to the Kingdom of Saxony, then the leading industrialized state of the German Confederation, to set up a transport company in Meissen. Their business was booming, but the brothers lost everything with the start of WW1 and were unable to return to Switzerland. The book does not shrink from telling of the extreme cruelty our ancestors suffered during the slaughter of WW1 and its shattered aftermath, followed by the brutality of Nazism and later the horrors of WW2, followed by the tyrannical Soviet occupation and finally the social chaos of communism. It is a story millions of readers can empathize with, whose own ancestors have survived the historical events and upheavals in Europe and North America over the centuries and would have very similar tales to tell, if they could still speak.
