Here’s a screenshot from my Ancestry DNA.
How am I related to this Wunderlich family?
This is a maternal line for me. I only recently revisited this line and have added many more people to the tree because my 7th great grandparents, Johannes Wunderlich and Anna Barbara Densler had 13 children.1 I descend from their second child, Jacobina Elizabeth, born 3 Jul 1723. She married Johann Eberhard Martin (my other German line) on 16 Feb 1745 in Notzingen, Teck Donau, Wurttemberg, Germany.
Here’s the record of the marriage of my 6th great grandparents in 1745. I originally located this at the Family History Library in 2015. You can also view the record on Ancestry Württemberg, Germany, Lutheran Baptisms, Marriages, and Burials, 1500-1985
This book Genealogical Record of the Wunderlich Family in America –Seventeen Branches compiled by Charles Albert Cornman, assisted by Daniel Wunderlich Nead, M.D., copyright 1911, is a good starting point for research on the Wunderlich family. There is a name index as well as a place index in the back of the book.
According to the forward in the book, much of the information was obtained via correspondence with descendants.
My ancestor Johannes Wunderlich was said to have had a home in Ludwigsburg in the Kingdom of Wurttemberg. He was the Overseer and General Foreman in the King’s work yard. Two of the sons of Johannes emigrated to America, Daniel in 1751 and John (Johan) at age 18 in 1753. They settled in Pennsylvania, marrying sisters and engaging in farming.
John is said to have served as a private in the Pennsylvania Militia during the Revolutionary War. I need to verify this with proper records.
