The Dockstader - Wegert Family Tree

The Latest News

  I am making great progress on my book, "Wegert Family and Friends Cookbook and History".  Yes...the original plans for a cookbook has morphed into a combination of recipes and history.  We already have over 185 pages, full of good food...for the mind and the stomach.  I am at a point in the book creation where I am forwarding chapters to the appropriate family members for gleaning incorrect information.  I expect to be at a point of publication within the following year.  I will keep you informed.

  I posted an updated version of the family tree on the Ancestry.com site.  It has been exactly two years since I posted my first version of the tree there.  There have been LOTS of revisions and additions since then.   You may find it here...

  Added over a hundred new images to the Dockstader branches of the online tree.  The photos are from the Dayton Book (below).  Also added several hundred Cousins to the tree...also from the Dayton Book.  Updated the online tree with all revisions and additions.

  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.
