MY ATTIG FAMILYAn Introduction
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
Very little is currently known regarding my Attig family
line other that probably originated in the Hessen area of Germany. My 7th great-grandmother Anna
Margaretha Attig lived during the 18th century. She married Johan Stephan
Abel most and likely lived her entire life in Germany. |
Although not proven Anna could be the daughter of Johann Adam
Attig, born 1677 at Balzenbach, Baden, Germany. As such she could also be the sister of Johann Peter Attig born
1705 who migrated to York county prior to 1742. |

ATTIG
Origins Of The Surname
Attig is a German surname from a short form of a
Germanic personal name formed with Old High German adal ‘noble’. It is
comparable to the similar surname Addicks which has origins as a
Dutch, Frisian, and North German patronymic name from Addicke, a pet
form of any of several Germanic personal names formed with the element ad(al)
‘noble’. Most persons with this
surname emigrated from Germany most noticeably from the western provinces
such as Baden-Wurttemberg and Hesse-Darmstadt. (1) (1)

The documents contained
herein have been located during my research of this family, and used as evidence
to prove many of the facts contained within the database of this family’s
record. Most of these documents can be considered as primary or secondary. Primary evidence is
usually defined as the best available to prove the fact in question, usually
in an original document or record. Secondary
evidence is in essence all that evidence which is inferior in its
origin to primary evidence. That does not mean secondary evidence is always
in error, but there is a greater chance of error. Examples of this type of evidence would be a copy of an
original record, or oral testimony of a record’s contents. Published genealogies and family histories
are also secondary evidence. Classifying evidence as either primary or
secondary does not tell anything about its accuracy or ultimate value. This is especially true of secondary
evidence. Thus it is always a good
idea to ask the following questions: (1) How far removed from the original is
it, (when it is a copy)?; (2) What
was the reason for the creation of the source which contains this evidence?;
and (3) Who was responsible for creating this secondary evidence and what
interest did they have in its accuracy? SOURCE: Greenwood, Val D., The Researcher’s Guide
