(Remember This Is Taken From The Book Below), Names And Stuff Can Look A Little Different To Us >From Here Back Up Through The Generations. Will Add It To The List As I Get Parts Of It Done. - ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Stumpff: Eberbach am Neckar, Hessen - Darmstadt, Germanies. b: circa 1600 - 1602 d: No record m: circa 1628 - 30 h/o __??__ CHILD: 01. Diterich Stumpff h/o Anna Catharine The birth and marriage records, possibly the death records also, are, again, casualties of the Thirty Years' War. On the other hand this progenitor may have been a Casualty himself in the Thirty Years' War. For instance. Johann Stumpf in Zurich Mentions a Hans Stumpf of that branch of the family in 1637 in Dresden, a city on the Elbe River valley area. However, the single and double - f name suffixes substantially differentiates the two individuals. Johann Stumpf: Geschlecht in Zurich (the Family in Zurich, Switzerland) Year 1550 Notes he was a widely known and famed historian who seems to have been born in Brussels, now the capital of Belgium, But at that time part of the Netherlands. Others Mentioned in this branch of the family are a Hans Stumpf of 1637 in Dresden and a Hans Conrad Stumpf of 1768 in service in Holland. NOTE: The birth year of Hans Stumpff in Eberbach am Neckar was approximated to be around A.D. 1600 - 1602. Another source record says "Johann Stumpf (1500 - 1576), wrote on Swiss history and topography, was born at Bruchsal (near Carlsruhe) [Bruchsal is in the Bistum Speyer area about 30 miles south of Heidelberg and south by east of Phillipsburg on the Rhein River] in 1500 and died at Zurich in 1576." and it is noted, that he studied theology at Strasbourg and Heidelberg, was ordained priest in 1522 at Basel and assigned a parish in Canton Zurich. He adopted the Protestant faith and remained at the same parish as Protestant pastor until 1543. Retired in 1561. Referenced writings are those of A.D. 1541,1548 and 1556.
