Philipp Heinrich Gegenheimer
Hello Thomas !
First I have to apologize for the really long time it took me
to reply, hope you are still interested.
I tried to find out little bit of my roots:
Me : Martin Gegenheimer, born 15.08.1967, Heidelberg
I live in Hockenheim, a small town famous for it Formula 1
race track near Heidelberg and study physics at the University
of Karlsruhe.
My father:
Richard Gegenheimer, born 11.03.1933, Heidelberg
My Grandfather:
Richard Gegenheimer, born 9.11.1900, Ittersbach (near Karlsruhe)
My Greatgrandfather:
Jakob Friedrich Gegenheimer, born 18.12.1865, Ittersbach
My Great-great-grandfather:
Philipp Heinrich Gegenheimer, born 10.10.1815, Ittersbach
As you can see my ancestors come from Ittersbach. We could find
out that a brother of my great-grandfather moved to USA, but up to now
we could not find out his name and when he left Germany.
Enclosed you find a heraldic figure my family has and the text
that was written on its back.
Feel free to ask, if you have questions.
- Martin
Text on the back of heraldic figure: (hope you can read that)
