In
order to document the results of the genealogy
Rittmeyer / Rittmeier, we distinguish between the terms pedigree,
branch, line and secondary line. Here we
mean by:
Pedigree
– the designation of a related family pedigree, headed by a
patriarch whose ancestors are no longer resolved (for example lack of
church books).
Branch
- the designation of a related family branch, headed by a patriarch
whose ancestors are not known, but may still be resolved and so that
the descendants in the future may still be subordinated to a family
pedigree.
Line
– assignment of related subjects to a line of ancestors or
descendants.
Secondary
Line
– Determination of degree of relationship based on
secondary lines of a family branch.
Because of the available
information it can be concluded that the ancestors of the family with
the surname Rittmeier / Rittmeyer are originally of the present federal
states of Niedersachsen,
Nordrhein-Westfalen or Bayern.
Here, the descendants of the families Rittmeier / Rittmeyer from the
villages Nesselröden,
Münden and Braunschweig
(Lower Saxony) and Düsseldorf
(Nordrhein-Westfalen) may be determent as family pedigree (red
symbols) as notable births are detectable before 1770 in the regions Eichsfeld (Wingerode
/ Steinbach, first 1629),
Duderstadt
(Nesselroeden, / Seulingen / Desingerode, first 1654),
Braunschweig
/ Helmstedt (first 1636),
Münden
(first 1642)
and Düsseldorf
(first 1709).
Furthermore, a family pedigree with the last name Rittmaier was
detected in Bavaria, which comes from Aisch (Oberfranken,
for the first time 1620).
As branches (green symbols,
events such as births and weddings before 1770) are kept the
descendants of the families with the surname Rittmeier / Rittmeyer from
the following regions:
- Niedersachsen
- Hannover
(Empelde,
1696), Schletau
/
Schmarsau (1681), Hildesheim
(1728),
Göttingen (1749), Twieflingen (1759)
- Westfalen
- Lipperaode
(1708), Beckum / Ahlen /
Hamm (1757), Lemgo
(1760),
- Mittelfranken
- Lattenbuch
(1769)
- Westpreussen
- Christburg
(1737), Danzig
(1743)
- Ostpreussen
- Kussen
(1741),
- Rheinland - Cleve (1724), Zülpich (1726), Hersel (1747)
- Rheinland-Pfalz - Mainz (1699), Koblenz (1706)
because further research may
lead to further assignment to any of the above family pedigrees.
Family relations may have
existed between the family members Nesselröden, Seulingen,
Steinbach, Wingerode and Kefferhausen as they all belong together from
the historical region of to the “Eichsfeld”.
