• Notes

  RESEARCH_NOTES: 1. The following published German source is one of the best on the Roemer family. The quote below is only a partial quote from the larger Römer entry and is provided verbatim; however, one needs to be cautioned that there are some errors. The errors for Johann Michael Römer and his descendants are discussed below. The known errors for his parent's family appears to the assigning of the surname Schütz for his mother; the errors for his grandparent's family appears to be the name of his grandfather and the make-up of the children in that family. These latter problems are analyzed and discussed in the notes of the parents and grandparents and not herein. The full Römer entry is provided in the notes of the earliest Römer in this database. FHL book 943.D2dg, vol. 175, "Deutsches Geschlechtebuch/Hessisches Geschlechterbuch," by Hermann Thutewohl, (1977), pp. 252-255, provides a study of Hessian Römers which includes our American branch as follows. The same material is found in the "Hessian Lineage Book," vol. 20, 1977, publisher CA Starke, Limburg an der Lahn. The book is in German with the translation to English courtesy of Rose Green. Dates are European style (day - month - year). Symbols: * = birth/christening; oo = married; + = death. The numbering system is per the book which I place in [brackets] for clarity.
