Catch up!
It has been a while since I checked this page last and it is exciting to see so much corrispondence on the name Britting!!!
Geprge Albert Britting was the father in Germany of my immigrant great grand father,John, supposed to have lived and died in King, Baveria, Germany (I have not varified that piece of info)Some info I have suggests Alsace Lorraine which generally was in France (borders moved around a lot!) My immigrant great grandfather John Britting had three sons, George, Andrew and John, Jr. and daughter Julia. They arrived in Western NY, town of Depew circa 1845, "a place they had known about" There was one other Britting in Buffalo (Nicholas) and another in Chatauqua, NY (John) predating my Brittings which may be relatives they came to in America.
In the corrispondabce herein I see the name Albert and George, which are common names with my family. George, Andrew and John (my Great Grandfather) resided in and died in or about Bufalo, NY. I have much information on all four children of John, SR and Christina Britting - the immigrants in 1845, and their offspring.
My grandfather, John Jr. married Lydia Abbie, had children = Howard, Lee (my Grandfather), Dean, Jasper and Dau Jessie.
Anyway - have lots of info to share, and always looking for more!
