Ahntentafel # 2802 : Johannes Bräun (1648-1693).  Johannes was born September 16, 1648 in Egenhausen, Würrtemberg.  He married Jacobina Kirn (1626-    ) on June 23, 1646 in Egenhausen, Würrtemberg.  Jacobina was born January 5, 1626 in Egenhausen, Würrtemberg.  They had at least one daughter.  Johannes died July 18, 1693 in Würrtemberg.

DNA Relatives : Surname View


One of the reports at 23andMe provides for DNA matches is a surname view, showing surnames matching the profiles of my genetic cousins.  I just updated my list of associated surnames through twelve generations in order to help others find a surname match, and I uploaded a GEDCOM to the site showing my family tree.

The enrichment factor is the result of a one-tail binomial test to gauge the uniqueness of the surname result and weed out the more common surname matches, ie. Smith and Jones.  The higher the number, the more unusual it is that it is of a high frequency of my matches.

The top surnames with high enrichment numbers are : Cherdron, Roblyer, Moninger, Marvin, Herbach and Stickel.  I have three of the five in my known genealogy : Cherdron, Herbach and Stickel.  With the high frequency matches, I wonder if Roblyer, Moninger and Marvin may be as of yet undiscovered family names in my tree.

I've already reached out to all of the 994 connections and hopefully we will begin sharing genomes and be able to find out just how we are related.

Cousin bait : Calmbach

A cousin bait posting on the Calmbach line brought me an email from cousin Linda, who descends from Jacob, brother of my Magdalena Calmbach (1640-1722).  Jacob and Magdalena were the children of Hans Calmbach and wife Christena.

Linda's line is : 


Jacob Calmbach (1640) and Maria Christina (1614)
Michael Kalmbach (1672) and Maria Braun (1672)
Jakobus Kalmbach (1699) and Katharina Seeger (1723)
Jacob Kalmbach (1750) and Eva Maria Kalmbach (1750)
Jacob Kalmbach (1790) and Dorothea Vogel (1794)
Christian Kalmbach (1815) and Anna Barbara Schlenker (1816)
Friedrich Kalmbach (1839) and Christine Keller (1844)
Matthias Kalmbach (1874) and Katharina Sauter (1880)
Emanuel Kalmbach (1902) and Katharina Ruff (1905)   

While my line is:

Magdalena Calmbach (1640) and Anton Schwartz (1637)
Magdalena Schwartz (1676) and Martin ________
Maria Schwartz (1713) and Jacob Stickel (1708)
Jacob Stickel (1742) and Anna Maria ________ (1742)
Mary Stickel (1768) and Abraham Byers (1771)

Barbara Byers (1798) and David Jacobs (1796)
Susan Jacobs (1825) and David Sherrick (1823)
Mary Jane Sherrick (1844) and George Washington Haley (1840)
Eli Weldon Haley (1866) and Cora Belle Metzner (1868)
Ruth Pauline Haley (1911) and Ord Wehrly LeMaster (1906)



This line is so far removed from me and I haven't done any original research, so I do not know how accurate it is.  The family was from the Egenhausen, Würrtemberg area.  Very little is sourced, so anyone with a connection or corrections, please respond.
