Wickizer/Weckesser DNA Project Newsletter #4

20 June 2010

Dear Folks,

We’re happy to announce several major discoveries in the Wickizer/Weckesser DNA Project, thanks to the assistance of several participants from the latter family.

We can now state that:

1) The two major early Weckesser families, located in Hessen and on the border of Baden and Württemberg, are NOT related to each other.

2) However, the Baden-Württemberg family is very likely the parent family of the Wickizer line, and is also related more distantly to an U(e)ffinger family from the same region, and to a Deffinbaugh line.
