Congratulations on your new son, we welcomed our first grandson 6 months ago so two
additions to the tree.
My husband is a great grandson of Valentine Hartman who would have been William
Gutzwiller's uncle. Most of the detailed info I have is on Valentine's family but
I do have at least names and some dates on the rest of the families.
To start with William's family - he was the son of Elizabeth Hartman & Martin
Gutzwiller. His other siblings were Rose b abt 1876, Clara b abt 1878, Josie, Henry b abt
1884 & Frank b abt 1886. I have William b abt 1893. Elizabeth's parents were
Conrad Hartman & Clara Hartig. They arrived in NY Sept 13, 1853 from Havre, Germany on
the ship Goodwin with daughter Barbara age 7 & Valentine age 2. The rest of the
children (Nicholas, Elizabeth, John & Joseph) were born in Indiana.
Martin's great grandfather John Gutzwiller arrived from Bazil, Switzerland to Florida
then to New Alsace Indiana on horseback in 1837. I don't know what his wife's name
was but one of their children was John Jr and he married Helena Winters. Their children
were John, Jacob, Joseph, Martin, Elizabeth & Rose(married to Valentine). I would love
to fill in any info on William's part of the family and exchange any other information
on the other parts of the family. What part are you connected to?
Cindy
