Zwanziger - Slovakia
First branch
The first ancestor of first line of Zwanzigers in Slovakia lived in 19 century in Spišsky Hrhov - in village nearby Levoca - centre of the region of Spiš. His was Joannes and he was born in Levoca in April 24th, 1820. All his ancestors lived in Levoca and we could confirmed them untill 1694. Joannes migrated to Spissky Hrhov from levoca sometime in his childhood. It was probably after his father´s death on September 9th, 1827. Both of his siblings were death in this time a he stayed with his mother alone and it was probably cause of their migration. Probably it helped, that sister of his father lived in Spissky Hrhov in this time. Joannes had 2 wifes and 10 chidren. Only 3 of hi chidrens growed up to adult age and only one of them was the boy, who continued in the line. His name was Stephen. Stephen had 6 children. One boy died very jung and 3 sons with 1 dauhter emigrated to USA. The last son - Ondrej emigrated to Argentine. In Argentina he met his wife and together with her they returned to Slovakia. They had 7 children (two of them have lived yet) and most of their descendants (about 200 persons) live in Slovakia currently.
Family tree of these descendants I don´t include to this pages.
Ancestors of John (Joannes) - Levoča
The first ancestors were found in Evanjelic records. The first one record was the mariagge of Mathias Zwanziger and Elisabeth on 1694. They had two daughters and two sons: Samuel was born on 15. September 1706 and Mathias Christian was born on 10. March 1708 (He died 6.6.1771). Due to missing datas and forever destroyed birth record within period 1720-1770 I am not able to find out the continuity of next their descendant. The death records bring numbers of death within this period probably children their children of this two boys (Samuel and Mathias Christian). One of children who lived to adult age within this period was Joannes Zvancziger ( 1753 -1819). Searched line of descendant of Joannes you could see bellow and it is possible to watch this line unin terruptedly untill the present. There are missing all records of evanjelic births with the period 1720-1770 and only death records are available. During this period several descendand came from this two brothers died but I am not able to find out exact line going to first verified ancestor - Joanes Zvancziger (1753-1819)
