I live a short distance from Floyd's parents and I was able to get the information on his immediate generation of Landis ancestors from them. First of all, Floyd's father, Paul Kulp Landis, was born and raised in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania and so Floyd's close Landis cousins are from that area of Pennsylvania. He is not closely related to any of the ancestral lines that came to Lancaster County, Pennsylvania in the year 1717. I have a Lancaster County Landis line and I figure that I am 9th cousins once removed from Floyd Landis, the Tour de France participant. A similar relationship would be true for most Landis line descendants in Lancaster County. The following chart contains Floyd's ancestral line.
(1st known Generation) Johannes (Hans) Landis, married to Katharina Schinz. Lived in Hirzel, Switzerland
(2nd known Generation) Rudolf Landis, married Anna Bruppacher. Lived in Hirzel, Switzerland.
(3rd Known Generation) Oswald Landis, married Margareth Schneebeli, Anna Schäppi, Catharina Bruppacher. Lived at Moosacher, Hirzel, Switzerland
(4th Known Generation) Hans Heinrich Landis, married Magdalena Bollier. Lived at Moosacher, Hirzel, Switzerland. Died in Rohrbach, Germany.
(5th Known Generation) Hans Heinrich Landis, born in Hirzel, Switzerland, died near Rohrsbach, Germany.
