Norbert,
That confirms it. You and I are fourth cousins, once removed.

Our common ancestors would be Mattias Beüter and Maria Hank of Weildorf, Germany. They were my great great great grandparents. They had 15 children, but most died in infancy. My research found only four of the children lived to adulthood.

Kasper Beüter married Marianna Söll in Weildorf, Germany on 26 June 1816. They had 10 children, all of whom were born in Weildorf Germany.

Kasper Beüter and his family left Germany and came to the United States in 1836. He immediately settled in Washington Twp of Cambria County where he did well as a farmer.

Kasper had a sister, Maria Anna who was born 11 December 1798. Maria married Blasius Pfister of Bittelbronn, Germany on 17 July 1821. Weildorf and Bittelbronn are neighboring villages.

Blasius and his family left Germany in 1853 with the encouragment of Kasper Beüter and moved to Cambria County.

Hello Norbert,
Based on the information you've provided, I am reasonably sure you and I are fourth cousins, once removed.
You didn't say who your father is, but I assume it was Norbert Francis Biter who died 18 June 1994 and is buried in Loretto.
Your grandparents where Sherman H. Biter and Annie Ellen Parrish.
My records indicate that your great grandparents were Henry Celestine Biter and Sarah Ann Itel
I believe your great great grandparents were Otto Biter and Sarah Ann Eckenrode.
I believe your great great great grandparents were Kasper Biter and Marianna Söll.
Kasper was the brother of my great great grandmother Marianna Biter Pfister

My grandfather was William Beiter, Caspar's grandson. Ignatius was his father. We are from the Cambria County family. Most of us now live in Pennsylvania. I used to live in California but now am back home in the Pittsburgh area. Rubert donated his records to the Morman library in Salt Lake City. They are available for research. If you want specific pages of his books, you can request them. I can look up the page numbers for you in the book that I have. Pat Beiter Frick

Aloha,

I am a descendant of the Reupert Biter clan. He was my p gfthr's bro. I don't have a copy of the book in my hands but my fam does - sounds like you already have that now. There were a couple versions, there were some errors. I don't know your branch, but maybe we're related. There are so few of us with this last name. I thought my extended clan were all back East, didn't know of a CA branch.

family reunion grant park atlanta georgia 1913

BillGrubbs51 — 2008-07-14 16:36:33Z

I discovered the attached picture taken in Grant Park, Atlanta, Georgia in about 1913. I have numbered it and attached a key to show who is who in the picture. Unfortunately, I don't know the names of very many people in the picture. I am hoping someone will know more of the people and will help me identify more of these ancestors.

If you know any Grubbs, Harbuck, Medlin, Beiter families who lived in Atlanta at this time, chances are, they are related to someone in this picture.

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Or if you know where I might post this picture where those interested will see it, I would appreciate your suggestions.

Hi Arthur,

You and I are third cousins. Last week I finally made the connection between our grandparents. The records are in old German script and have been extremely difficult. I have been in contact with several members of the Broslat family, but have not had the chance to contact them with the good news. I hope to do that this week.

You can e-mail be at jblbmbab@peoplepc.com and I'll be happy to send you what information I have.

Beiter family

LBurnecke — 2005-02-15 12:57:00Z

I have just located information connecting the Jodkin/Jodkuhn and Broslet surnames to the Beiter family. Does any one recognize either of these people?
Anna Beiter born about 1860ish and married a Jacob Jodkuhn
Augusta Beiter born 1870ish and married a William Broslet
I know Augusta immigrated from Germany to the US and lived in the Pittsburgh area. I believe Anna remained in Germany, however her son Otto Jacob immigrated to the Pittsburgh area as well.

Re: Beiter family history

2001-10-01 17:20:17Z

Can you tell me if you have ever seen the name spelled Beitter? My GG Grandfather was from Germany and I am told he jumped ship on Kaiser Wilhelm while he was an officer in the war. We have medals which have been passed down to my Dad but we have never been able to get details of our family heritage in Germany. I have been told that the data was lost in the war.

Is it possible to locate?

Re: beiter/biter surname

2001-10-01 17:14:45Z

Saw your posting and thought I would ask you a question. Have you ever seen the name spelled Beitter?

This is my last name and my GG Grandfather was from Germany. I have been told that our records were lost in the war so my father does not have alot of information about the family origin. I know that my GG Grandfather jumped ship on Kaiser Wilhelm - my father has 3-4 medals which have been passed down in the family.

Re: Beiter

2001-10-01 17:09:44Z

Have you even seen the spelling as Beitter?
My father's family tree goes back to Germany and I have always been told that the records were lost in the war.

I would appreciate any comments

Beiter, Biter spellings

PFrick2549 — 2001-06-29 00:55:35Z

The name can also be spelled Boiter and Beuter. It depends on how it was entered in the immigration records, many of which were spelled phonetically.
