People Researching Our Family Tree
Thank you to all family members for all their hard work keeping our family heritage alive and for all of the information, dedication and sharing with me our wonderful family tree. If a family member has been in contact with me and I have not included them in this list, please email me and I will add your name and email as quickly as possible.
I would also like to thank the many people who are not in our tree. But took the time to give me advise on how to search, where to search and who have submitted to me very valuable information, to further my research beyond my wildest dreams. First of all thank you to all the wonderful people at the Morman Church - Family History Center. In those early years I didn't have a clue where to start. They were there with a smile and excitement, even though I was Catholic born, never once pressuring me. Here is a list of Some Wonderful People that have helped these past 5 years while on line:
Bancroft, Ontario Public Library Without their help with advise, clues and pointing me in the right direction, I would not have accomplished all that I have. A Very Special Thank you to Donna Ristenbatt And thank you Pat Wardell for finding Donna for me.

WANNEMACHER
The first Wannemacher's to arrive in North America in 1709
were Johann Pieter (my ancestor), settling in Bergen county,
NJ. and Johann Deiterich, in 1710, settling in Rockland
county, NY and Bergen county, NJ. Also their siblings Adam, Conrad, and sister
Margaret came settling near Mahwah, NJ along with other family
and friends. May be relatives to the above family were Jacob, SC in 1737
and Georg, PA in 1731. Important Notice: See important information link
in Coat of Arms page.
During the American Revolution they fought on both sides of that war.
After the war, during the great migration of United Empire Loyalists,
arriving in upper Canada, were six Wannamaker brothers in about 1783,
four of the brothers fought the war. My ancestor to Canada was Loyalist
Harmanus Wannamaker, settling first in Prince Edward county, Ontario.
Then Wannamaker's in Hastings and Renfrew countys, Ontario. Much can be said about this
old and noble family.
A Word About The Wannemacher's In South Carolina and Pennsylvania There is no proof yet that those families belong to this Wannemacher family. Please be sure to see the link Very Important Notice in the page Wannamaker Coat of Arms.
