Hi Jim and all are interessted at the Dotterweichs,
my name is Christian Dotterweich. I am from Germany and I am working as a Journalist. I live in a town called Forchheim near Nürnberg in Bavaria. I came across these sites.
I have also searched for my ancestors. The Dotterweichs are all from the Oberfanken area of Bavaria. I found my ancestors in a small village called Reundorf. The other Dotterweichs lived in villages called Herrnsdorf, Vorra, Obergreuth, Untergreuth, Abtsdorf and Frensdorf. They are all near by the old town Bamberg.
Here are some of the oldest found Dotterweichs:
1575, Cunz Dotterweich, Reundorf
1576, Hans Dotterweich, Abtsdorf
1588, Cunz Dotterweich, Frensdorf
1588, Cunz Dotterweich, Obergreuth
1588, Hans Dotterweich, Reundorf
1588 Fritz Dotterweich, Untergreuth
1588, Georg Dotterweich, Untergreuth
And at last the Homepage from the German Prof. Dr. Markus Dotterweich. The sites are in German but there is a detailed description to the Dotterweichs:
