Since 5th grade when I had an assignment to discover my nationality, I have had an interest in my genealogy. I have tried several sites to manage the plethora of information, and have found ancestry.com to be the best. A membership is required but I find it to be worth the money.
It's hard to make sure all the information on this site is 100% accurate! I hope the more people who can see it, will confirm or correct the Peschong family history.
I have been able to find information as far back as Reinhard Peschong, my 4th great grandfather. My great uncle John Lyle Peschong (b.1939) was able to travel to the town where he was born. I have yet to receive this information but can't wait to see all the evidence.
Since I do not have information of any other of Reinhard's children I have been
limited to my extended family. Another downfall is that the Peschong's had a habit of using the same first names making this even more confusing. My saving grace would be church records, many of the Peschong's were priests.
I find the occupations to be one of the most interesting facts, most were farmers. I'd like to learn more about the type of farms they tended. Along with the housing information: owned/rented, size, location, address, ect.
To this day it has been a current obsession to find all the facts about my family history.
i saw that too - farmers and priests. if you ever see a link between napoleon bonaparte and us it was something i came up with so don't believe it. my great grandma on my mom's side (not a peschong but a herr) told me it to be true ~ Matt peschong
