Leaves of Our
Family Tree
The picture (taken about 1891) on this page is of my great-grandparents,
Joseph and Susanna Miller Engemann, and their five children: Theresa, Henry,
Charles, Leo, and Clemens. Joseph emigrated from Ossendorf, Germany, when he
was about 15. He ultimately ended up in New Washington, Ohio, where he met
Susanna Miller, a first-generation American whose mother, Katherina Wurst,
was one of New Washington's earliest settlers at the age of five and whose
father, Paul Miller, emigrated in 1848. The Wursts were from Katzweiler,
Germany, and the Millers were from Gersheim. Data was gathered from a variety
of sources and with the help of many other researchers, most notably Vince
Falter, Lorraine Caris, Gary and Kathy Wurst, Reinhold Kornhoff, and loads of
family members I've begged for information. Check out my list of surnames of
ancestors from France, Northern Ireland, Germany. These families settled in
Quebec, Ontario, New York, New Jersey, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Michigan,
Illinois, New Zealand, Australia, and more. Please contact me with errors or
additions to information you see here. If you are connected, e-mail me.
