STOTZER and STOTSER SWISS/US FAMILY HISTORY

Last Updated: October 15, 2018

The family tree files below are now easier to download-much smaller!


Most US STOTZER families descend from the area of the city of Büren an der Aare, canton Bern, Switzerland
Here's a location Map and a Postcard from Büren an der Aare
First recorded "Stotzer" was around 1395/1396 in the area of what is now Rottweil, Germany.
Our Official Swiss Family Crest dates back to 1549
Here's the Crest alone and a Wallhanging version.
These major "groups" of Stotzers of Swiss origin have been discovered in the USA:
* My group (shared with Helen Stotzer and family in Switzerland) who settled in the area of the city of Cleveland, Ohio. One branch of my Stotzer family tree connects to the Texas US Stotzers. Other branchs of my tree lead to Stotzer groups that emigrated to and settled in Mineral City, Ohio (Easton) Pennsylvania/New Jersey to a Nicole Stotzer and her family in Switzerland, and lastly the Stetchers (formerly Stotzers) of Illinois.
 * The Archbold, Ohio group shares their Stotzer family tree with Willy Stotzer (Switzerland) and Ottawa, Ohio groups.
Note: The Cleveland and Archbold groups are connected by a Stotzer-Stotzer marriage in the 1800s!
Other Groups not yet totally connected to the above groups:
* The Illinois/Wisconsin group. One branch of this large group became the Stotsers of Iowa
Note: The Illinois/Wisconsin and Pennsylvania/New Jersey groups are connected by a marriage in 2001!
* A small group in upstate New York.
We are still searching for the final connections between all the above Stotzer groups-See the Missing Links page!
See my tabular Roadmap to the above Stotzer/Stotser family groups
