Newly discovered information connects our GIE�EMANN immigrants to their German parents and homeland.
Bonnie has generously shared her research and has given me permission to post her discoveries to this page. THANK YOU, Bonnie

The immigrant ancestors of these many, varied surnames were brothers, Johann "George" GIE�EMANN/GIESSEMAN/G�SSEMAN and Johann George "William" GIE�MANN/GIESSEMANN/G�SSEMAN. They were sons of Clemenz GIE�EMANN and Anna Maria STAPFER/STAFFER of the area of R�digheim, Germany. The brothers arrived at the port of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on the snow "Molly" on October 26, 1741, having left Rotterdam. The surname is spelled "G�sseman" on that document.

"Clifford Neal Smith in his German-American Genealogical Monograph No. 6, Emigrants from the Principality of Hessen-Hanau, Germany, 1741-1767, quotes from manuscripts in the Staatsarchiv Marburg, Germany in a large bound register of the Geheimer Rat (Privy Council) containing information on 'subjects who have from time to time applied for emigration': page 3 includes 'Clemens Gieseman and Stephan R�b of R�digheim...destination: Carolina, year 1741'."

ACCEPTABLE RESEARCH for GENEALOGY
Documented research for an individual and each event in the life of that individual (birth, death, marriage, burial, spouse, children). This should include dates and places (city, township, county, state), if available. Undocumented information is considered "hearsay," and not really proof that any of the given information is always correct.
  1. Primary Sources
    1. Vital Records (birth, marriage and death certificates)
    2. Church, synogogue, religious records
    3. Bible records
    4. Marriage bonds and licenses
    5. Deeds
    6. Court records, Probate records, Guardianships or Orphan Court Records
    7. Military or Pension Records
    8. Cemetery, Mortician, Funeral Home Records
    9. Dated family letters and diaries
  2. Secondary Sources
    1. County or town histories
    2. Family Genealogies, Charts, Records, etc.
    3. Federal or state census records
    4. Newspaper obituaries
    5. Newspaper birth & marriage listings
    6. Newspaper articles of specific events naming individuals
    7. Photos or Copies of gravestone inscriptions
    8. Affidavits (dated)
  3. Circumstantial Sources
    1. Evidence concerning an individual that is inferred (pieced together) from various sources. (Sometimes indicated by being said that the conclusion is based upon "Preponderance of Information.")

    [NOTE: Lebanon Co., PA was formed in 1812 from Dauphin Co., PA and Dauphin Co. was formed 1785 from Lancaster Co., PA]
    [INTERESTING TIDBIT: The asterisk is the internationally used symbol for a birth, while the "tilde" is the symbol used for a baptism, and the + is for death. This applies to Germany-not sure how many other European countries also use it.]

    This lineage and family connection of George GEESEMAN b 1794 PA to William GIESSEMAN/GEESAMAN & Mary Catherine MILEY appears to be in conflict with other researchers and their lineages. This site names Rebecca COPENHOVER as George's wife and others name Elizabeth RESSLEY as George's wife. Help appreciated.
