Dear Group,
I am a member of this group, but I have not written about my family for a long time. I had given up on finding any more information on my David line, but I
became interested and hopeful again for two reasons.
First, I recently came across an old post on the internet to ow-preussen-l@genealogy.net from Andre Koehsel. He wrote that he is a descendant of the David Family. He stated that he had extensive records on the families from the Konigsberg area. I tried to contact Mr. Koehsel, but unfortunately was unsuccessful.
My mother is a descendant of the David's. Her father was Kurt David b. 1882 Drebnau.
He is the son of Gustav Adalbert David b.1846 Transau; and Johanna Gronert b.1857 Kgl. Tengen.
Gustav is the son of Johann Friedrich David b. 1808 Klein Drebnau; and Justine Schupp b.1810.
Johann Friedrich is the son of Johann Friedrich David b. 1770 and Regina Plew b. 1769.
Johanna is the daughter of Carl Ludwig Grohnert b. 1825 Koniglich Tengen and Wilhelmine Augustine Witt b. 1825.
Secondly, I became interested again in my ancestry on mother's side because of the new autosomal test at Family Tree DNA.
I had some big discoveries on my paternal side with DNA testing. I'm hoping more descendants of East Prussian families test.
Sincerely,
carol Szabo
