Note: (1) Some dates (i.e. births, deaths, marriages)
are shown as a pair of years such as: 1742/1743. This is due to a difference
in calendar dating systems (Julian vs. Gregorian). In most cases, the latter
date represents the common usage.(2) The relationship status
for nobility is constantly being updated and/or changed as more
people are added. In particular, listings which indicate my own degree
of relationship with certain individuals becomes increasingly more difficult
the farther away they are. In general, however, direct relationships such
as grandparents, aunts/uncles, etc., are always consistent. |
| In dieser surname Liste ist eigentlich alles vertreten,
was im *alten* Württemberg Rang und Namen hatte, bis zu den Karolingern,
also bis zu Karl dem Grossen (um 800), und zwar nicht nur auf einem Weg,
sondern auf Hunderten von verschiedenen Wegen. Verwandt bin ich auch mit
den Poeten Goethe, Schiller, Friedrich Hölderlin und Wilhelm Hauff
sowie vielen anderen Geistesgrössen aus dem badischen und württembergischen
Land. Die Renz und Stockmayer Familien waren Regierungsbeamte und Pastorenfamlien
von hohem sozialem Stand im Herzogtum und später Königreich Württemberg.
Major families in this list of surnames include the old nobility of
Württemberg, their titles featuring the Karolingers up through Karl
the Great (ca. 800), to which I am connected to in hundreds of different
ways. My relations also include the famous poets Goethe, Schiller, Friedrich
Hölderlin, Wilhelm Hauff, etc. as well as many other well known scholars.
The Renz and Stockmayer families were government officials and pastor families
of high social status in the duchy and later Kingdom of Württemberg.
Special thanks go to my mother for keeping track of our
family bible, and to my great grandmother for having kept records in it.
I would like to particularly thank: Norbert and Karin Gastel, Gerhard Gastel,
Prof. Genealogist Klaus Siefert, Christian Vieser, Kurt-Walter Friedrich,
Ortsheimatpfleger Heiko Völker, Mariam Cheshire, Harvey Lineback,
Denis Graham, Horst Görlich, Dan Pomerleau, Dipl. Bibliothekar
Guenter Todt, and Klaus F. Augustiny for their valuable help and last but
not least Prof.Dr. Günther Schweizer and Professional Genealogist
Leo van de Pas who made my dreams come true, and of course, Fred Lloyd
(my husband) who wrote these pages and the software which creates them.
