My name is Lothar Laninger, I lives in Germany.
To the Blaser family I have to communicate some. First however, my English is not very good. Some persons from the surrounding field of my ancestors, to America emigrated. Were families with the names Unbehend and Hausknecht. The families lived near Voelklingen, a small cityof the Federal Republic Saarland in Germany. This family Unbehend emigrated 1739 with the ship "Snow Betsy" to the USA. Also on board other families from Voelklingen, the family Leyenberger,Blaser and Geiger. All families were with one another relatives.
To the Blaser family: On board the "Snow Betsy" was Johann Peter Blaser, born August 1705 in Germany (not in Switzerland), it was the son of Ulrich Blaser and Margaretha Langenecker (Langenegger) from Langnau in Switzerland. Ulrich and Margaretha deceased in Germany. Johann Peter/Hans Peter/Peter Blaser was married with Anna Magdalena Rixecker (Ruegsegger). The pair married 1734 in Germany. Anna Magdalena was the sister of Peter Rixecker, who emigrated after 1735 to America. Peter Blaser and Peter Rixecker were probably important men in the "First Reformed Church" in Donegal Twp, Pa. Peter Blaser and his wife had four children with their departure: the twins Johann Adam and Johann Jacob, born 1735, the daughter Anna Catharina, born 1737, the son Johann Nicolaus, born 1738. All children are born in Germany. Peter Blaser had a brother, Johann Christian Blaser, born 1691 in Langnau/Switzerland. He married 1719 in Germany the Anna Gertrud Leyenberger. The pair had six children in Germany and 1733 with the ship "Pink lady" to the USA emigrated. On the ship list accurately all persons of the family stand. A brother-in-law of Peter Rixecker was Johann Peter Rosenberger, the husband of Maria Sara Eisenhauer. Maria Sara was the sister of Hans Nicol Eisenhauer. It is the direct moves forward from Dwight D Eisenhower.
Enough for today.
