Glen Earl Blosser San Luis Obispo, California Glen Earl Blosser, 71, passed away from Glioblastoma on May 13, 2018. Born on April 1, 1947 to Donald Blosser and Royleen Harvey, he is survived by his brother, Jerry; his daughter, Hannah; and an expansive group of friends and colleagues. After graduating from Mt. Whitney High School, he got his barber's license and spent his life cutting hair up and down the coast, with most of the last 30 years at The Barbery in Santa Maria. He was an avid golfer and NHRA enthusiast, regularly traveling to look down the fairways of Pebble Beach or be on the starting line in Famoso. Much like his son, Jesse, whose death preceded his own, Glen's vibrant personality and sense of humor meant he never required a backstage pass to life. He loved to share his stories, and we hope that you will join us at 2:00 pm, Saturday, June 9th at the Spyglass Inn to celebrate his life by bringing a photo and a story of your own to add to a memorial book, or a bottle of wine to share.

Although, we have only been able to find one of his children, and haven't been able to prove which ones are children of Peter. My Peter was born on 11 Dec 1703 in Switzerland, and married Magdalena (last name unknown). They arrived on 27 Aug 1739 on the Snow Betsey and settled in Donegal Township, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania (near Elizabethtown). Peter was a Mennonite Minister and farmer. He and his wife purchased a parcel of land from the William Penn Estate and built a church, Reformed Church, and later in life gave the land to the church. Peter and his wife had a son, Christian Blasser I who was born about 1748/49 in Pennsylvania. Christian and his wife had 7 children: Anna Barbara (b. 1772), John Peter (b. 1773), Catharine/Catherine (b. 1775), Jacob (b. 1780), Elizabeth (b. 1783), Christian II (b. 1784), and Matthias (b. 1785).

Author: mblosman Surnames: Blosser Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/surnames.blosser/209/mb.ashx Message Board Post: I have never before been able to track the name Blosser to anywhere but Switzerland, and according to some posts back to the early 1500's in Canton Berne, Switzerland. Of course, that doesn't proof Swiss origin, only that they can be traced that far back. The same thing applies with German origin. In most cases the migration of people into Switzerland and Germany is from the Nordic area of Europe, or Eastern Europe. Either is plausible for the Blosser family. DNA tests have proved inconclusive, to this point. Recently, I have found the following and thought it worth sharing. Can I prove this is our Blosser Family? Of course not, but may lead to other information that might confirm or deny it. The following is from a German site translated by Google (which is not perfect, but gets the point across) : Blossersberg Blossersberg is a former municipality in the district of rain today counting Altlandkreis Viechtach, which was incorporated in 1971 in the city of Viechtach. Location Blossersberg located east of Viechtach on the east bank of the black rain. history In the first half of the 12th Century, Count Albert I at the house of the Counts of Bogen convent, monastery mountain wind, and goods in Blossersberg Pirkaha (Pirka). The name Blossersberg also appears in the later centuries often in documents. In Stein Pirka was a Postal, who had to secure the ford across the rain. Although Blossersberg was the main team, it was not yet municipality in 1808, but in 1818 came to Pirka former town Sackenried. Only since the 17th January 1831 was Blossersberg municipality. The area of the former municipality included the villages Blossersberg, Irlseign, Lindl and Pirka, 9 and 22 hamlets wastes. The municipality had last around 1,300 inhabitants and 1,576 acres township area. On 1 July 1971 the municipality Blossersberg in the course of municipal reform was a part of the city Viechtach. END Additional information: Counts of Bogen convent, monastery mountain wind, is the Windemere Convant located in Lower Bavaria, Germany (present day), and low and behold the first mention of a place called Blossersberg, Lower Bavaria, Germany (present day). These were "noted in the 12th century and mentioned in later centuries often in documents." Now, again the spelling of the name is questionable in the 12th and further centuries was if Blossersberg, Bloßersberg, Blazersberg, Blaserberg, or whatever spelling you prefer. The Norbertine order of the Catholic church built an Abbey in Berne Switzerland in 1134, and they then built Windemere Convant as mentioned above. This is the first link I have found between the mention of Blossers/Blossersberg and Berne. I thought this was amazing, but I cannot link our lines back that far. I am attempting to find more of the origin of Blossersberg, but its not easy. Any help or suggestion would be appreciated.
