John Witman, and George Witman's
My family is said to come from a long line of George Witman's (we have many), but I'm stuck on my third great grandfather, John Witman (b,1828) who immigrated to the US from Bavaria. The earliest record I have is the 1870 census, even though he was in the US since 1854.
I'm looking for more information on him, and any of his immediate family. I have information on his wife and children, but I'd love to find out more about siblings, parents, etc.
Many of the catholic churches here in Reading, PA won't provide records for genealogical organizations, and he and his wife Mary Kern were buried in a catholic cemetery leading me to believe they were also married in a catholic church. Any information would be greatly appreciated!!
If you are also researching Witman's, my family tree on Ancestry.com as diwitman, called the Witman/Harter family. It's a public tree, so feel free to look at it.
