Where Do We Go From Here?

Are we done; now that the origins of my particular branch of the Beismer family has been found?  Nah.

Certainly, it was one of the aims of the Study, to find the origins of my grandfather's family.  But there are other questions.

What is the relationship between the different branches of the family?

Are all the different spellings related or not?

Since one of the things learned about the variant spellings is that the Beismer spelling is very recent, how are the Beismers in different geographic areas related, if they are?

There are also statistics; some are interesting.  Someone at WikiTree has recently developed an app, there, that collects the data from profiles, with a particular surname, organizes it and produces a report with a lot of information about the profiles with that surname:  ages, gender, geographic locations and more.  

Plus, just looking at the original numbers collected from a few online searches, there are enough people with one or another of the variant spellings of the name to make it interesting to know something about them; and, most of them do not have profiles on WikiTree.  And, more spellings were added to the Study.

So, we/I continue.  I will be working toward a statistical report.  

Onward....

Origins Found

 

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.

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.
