The Dockstader - Wegert Family Tree
Welcome!
Hello everyone!
So...this is a relatively new website...just starting to refine the rough edges and make additions to the content...please be patient...I promise it will get better!
Obviously, I named my tree "The Dockstader-Wegert Family Tree" because Dockstader is my Father's family name, and Wegert is my Mom's. Currently, my tree includes over 16,000 individuals.
The tree is a history...with over 3500 family names. I have also explored and included branches in my tree where the extended family names are of no direct relation to me...but relation to someone in our family...therefore...certainly interesting and informational. If you wish to see a complete list of the family names in my tree, you may use the link to the Online Version of the tree on the FAMILY TREE button on the left.
This will be a place for me to share new information and photos with the family. When we discover information which might be of interest to family, I will send an email briefly describing the discovery. So...rather than receiving emails with sometimes large file attachments (such as photos) you will get an email which will include a clickable-link to this website. You may then decide to follow link when the information is of interest to you.
I hope you enjoy reading about the explorations and seeing new stuff about our family history!
I certainly enjoy every new discovery!

Added a Feedback page for your comments and questions.
Uploaded a revised/updated copy of the family tree to Ancestry.com.
Obtained the book Family Record of Hiram Dayton and Permelia Bundy Dayton.
The book was compiled by Alta A. and Leland M. Dayton and published In September, 1961. It is an invaluable source of genealogical data for my tree research. I have already scanned all of the photos in the book and am adding them to the tree data file. The photos will be added to the online tree as I get them associated with the names the faces belong to. -

Discovered the complete name of Wilhelm Wegert (my 2nd Great Grandfather) was actually Carl Friedrich Wilhelm Wegert. This information was found in the Brandenburg, Prussia Emigration Records. We had known he arrived at the in Port of New York, USA on Nov. 25, 1868 with his Mother, Friedrike Wegert, and his wife, Karoline (Roehl) on ship N. G. Bark Jenny out of Bremen, Germany. The passenger list, which we have a copy of, showed Wilhelm (Carl) had Cabin #1, Karoline had Cabin #2, and Friedrike had Cabin #3. -
