The history of the Groenhagen families in Ostfriesland, Germany, and the United States. Groenhagen Family History covers Harm Siebelts Groenhagen�s (Groenhagen's second great-grandfather) descendants to the present and his ancestors back to Geert Garrels (the family didn�t use the surname Groenhagen until about 1811), who was born about 1640. The book also discusses Geert Garrels� descendants in Illinois, Kansas, Minnesota, South Dakota, and Germany. Groenhagen�s book also covers Harm Tammen Groenhagen�s descendants to the present and his ancestors back to Garrelt Nonnen, who was born before 1685. Garrelt Nonnen�s descendants can be found in Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, and Germany. Groenhagen Family History includes a chapter on genetic genealogy. Using DNA testing, Groenhagen is finally able to answer the question regarding whether or not he is related to Harm Tammen Groenhagen and his descendants.
The result of more than twenty years' research, this seven-volume book lists over 23,000 people and 8,500 marriages, all related to each other by birth or marriage and grouped into families with the surnames Brandt, Cencia, Cressman, Dybdall, Froelich, Henry, Knutson, Kohn, Krenz, Marsh, Meilgaard, Newell, Panetti, Raub, Richardson, Serra, Tempera, Walters, Whirry, and Young. Other frequently-occurring surnames include: Greene, Bartlett, Eastman, Smith, Wright, Davis, Denison, Arnold, Brown, Johnson, Spencer, Crossmann, Colby, Knighten, Wilbur, Marsh, Parker, Olmstead, Bowman, Hawley, Curtis, Adams, Hollingsworth, Rowley, Millis, and Howell. A few records extend back as far as the tenth century in Europe. The earliest recorded arrival in the New World was in 1626 with many more arrivals in the 1630s and 1640s. Until recent decades, the family has lived entirely north of the Mason-Dixon Line.
