Charlie Kraybill's Family Tree

Updated February 28, 2004



This site contains information on the following surnames, among others: Bomberger, Brubaker, Eby, Engle, Herr, Hershey, Hostetter, Kraybill, Longenecker, Mumma, Nissley, Reist, Snyder.

My full name is John Charles Kraybill, but I've always been called "Charlie". I was born in 1957 in Columbia Presbyterian Hospital (Broadway & 168th Street, NYC), the eldest of four children of John H. & Thelma (Snyder) Kraybill.

If you scroll down to the heading FamilyTreeMaker Trees, Reports and Books, you will find links to data about my ancestors. Just click on one of my grandparents.

Most of my American ancestors grew up on Mennonite or Brethren farms in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. There were some Dunkards and French Huguenots back there as well. My European ancestors were Swiss-German Anabaptists (predecessors of today's Mennonites, Hutterites & Amish).

One of my goals is to identify as many IMMIGRANT ANCESTORS as possible. Keeping in mind that the number of one's ancestors doubles each generation back you go, I should have a couple hundred immigrant ancestors. So far I have found a couple dozen. Here they are, listed chronologically by year of arrival:

1710 - HANS & ELIZABETH HERR & children landed in Philadelphia from Switzerland via the Palatinate.
1712 - JACOB HOSTETTER arrived from Switzerland around this time.
1715 - THEODORUS EBY & family landed in Philadelphia from Germany. They settled south of New Holland.
1717 - JOHN BRUBAKER arrived from Switzerland via Germany around this time.
1720 - JACOB NISSLEY arrived from Switzerland.
1722 - CHRISTIAN & MARIA BOMBERGER & children arrived from Germany.
1724 - PETER & ANACLORE REIST arrived from Switzerland via Germany. They settled near Lititz.
1729 - CHRISTIAN & ANNA LANGENECKER arrived from Switzerland.
1731 - JACOB MUMMA arrived from Switzerland on ship "Pennsylvania Merchant".
1736 - JOHANNES & SUSANA SCHNEIDER arrived from Rotterdam.
1750 - JACOB SCHOCK arrived from Germany.
1754 - ULRICH & ANNA ENGEL & children landed in Philadelphia from Switzerland on ship "Phoenix". They settled near Marietta.
