WELCOME ! 

Thankyou for visiting the Westphale/Westphalen family history and genealogy web site.

Here you will find a history of immigrants, Johannes Albert Robrecht Westphalen and his son Johannes Ludwig Westphalen who in 1869 upon arrival in Maryland changed their names to
John Westphale, Sr. and John Westphale, Jr.

A narrative summary of this family begins with John Westphale, Sr., procedes to his son John Westphale, Jr, his grandchildren and great grandchildren. 

Proven ancestry of John Westphale, Sr. is provided in a Westphalen Ancestor Table that extends to Johannes Christorphorus Westphalen born in 1684. 

A speculative connection with the landed family of 
von Westphalen extends the ancestry to the 12th century in the Westphalen Noble Family chart.

Maps, photographs and document images as well as several ancillary family lines complete the pages on this site.

You may navigate these pages using the floating menu to the left, clicking on any individual in the
Westphalen Family Tree or any of the above links.
