Our Roots

Our family history consists of many different branches that make up our roots. In my quest I have contacted and met many new cousins from various branches.

Our family names include: Clark, Miller, Hanson, Mendenhall, Mildenhall, Porter, Romberger (various spellings), Maris, Dixon, Palmer, Rataj, Matter, Motter, Dixon, Kreider, Stroude, Arnick, Walker, Burch, Carlin, Hurl (Hural), and the list goes on.

I am attempting to do a blog a day on different Family members. I will not be doing in any particular order but will make them as complete as possible.

As I add more I will try to add a link for parents, siblings, spouse and children to the bottom of that blog.

Who knows you may be related.

I have been able to find very little information. Sebastian pictured above is my 3rd Great Grandfather and he is a far as I have been able to trace our Arnick line to date.

We know he emigrated around 1854 from Bayern, Baveria. I assume with his first wife Maria Antonia, or they married after he arrived here but we have limited information. 

With Maria he had 4 children 3 sons and 1 daughter. Josesph, Sebastian (Jacob), Johann and Hanna. Johan and Hanna died in infancy.

He was a brakeman I assume for the railroad and then a watchman.

He married 3 times and we descend through his first wife Maria.

His second wife was Francesca and with her he had 4 sons and 1 daughter. William, Frank, Henry, Lawrence and Frances.

His 3rd wife was Helena Fritz, no children.
