Well....

A few nights ago, I was working on a profile @ WikiTree in my/our family tree related to this Study.  It's a profile I adopted in 2021.  It's been there all this time.  

In the meantime, I'd been trying to figure out if the Cornelius Beesimer in Ulster County, was the same Cornelius Beesimer in Sullivan County.  

signature of Hans Jorg Bosmer

Hans Jerg Besemer was christened on 27 Sep 1705 in Nabern, Esslingen, Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany.  He was the son of Daniel Beßmer and Anna Maria Zimmermann.

On 22 Aug 1730, in Nabern, Hans Jörg Bößmer married Anna Barbara Ost.  I believe there's a mistake here.

Georg arrived in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, from Rotterdam, aboard the Good Intent, on November 9, 1749, along with his family including son, Johann Casparus Besemer.

Georg was the 3rd great grandfather of my grandfather, Simeon Arnold Beismer, Sr.

Hans Jorg Bossmer, (Johann Georg Besmer) born 1705, Germany.

Johann Casparus Besemer, Sr., born 1739, Reudern, Nürtingen, Württemberg, Germany.

Johann Casparus Besemer, Jr., born 1776, Marbletown, Ulster County, New York.

Cornelius Osterhaut Beesimer, Sr., born 1806, Rochester (Accord), Ulster County, New York.

Silas Beismer, born 1838, Debruce, Rockland, Sullivan County, New York.

Simeon Arnold Beismer, Sr., born 1879, Debruce, Rockland, Sullivan County, New York.

There it is, the Beismer branch of my family.  And, as you can see, we know the names of George's parents:  Daniel Besmer and Anna Maria Zimmermann, so it will be possible to go back further.  I believe there's a mistake here.

Right now, I'm very happy to have finally found the connections and we now know the history and origins of this branch of the family.  And, they're all there @ WikiTree.  Work on their profiles continue but they're all there.

The Beismer Name Study continues.  There are other Beismers (although that particular spelling began with my great grandfather, Silas Beismer) and variants and potential relatives.  

Note the count of the number of profiles included in the Study at the top of the right-hand column - 239.  There will be more as I add more family members of my direct line relatives and their wives and children and other Beesimers, as I find them.  

There is a new one-name study app @ WikiTree that will help me manage the statistics once I get to that.

Updates

I haven't been working on this Study much lately but there are currently 238 profiles in the Study @ WikiTree.  

Fuzzy photo but it was on St. Johns Street, Walton, across from where Gladys lives now.

I'm the only one working on the project at the moment.

I recently had to let go of some of the projects I was working on in family history because it was clear that I just couldn't do everything that I want to do.

I need to sit down and make a to do list, especially things that I need to do regularly to get things done.  This is just things for family history research.

One thing I need to do is improve the appearance of this blog.  I'm not really happy with it, as it is.

Be sure to leave a comment if you visit the blog, if only to say you were here.  It encourages me to keep going.

Thanks.
