Surname: Ronnewinkel


The Ronnewinkel surname comes to me via my grandmother, Evelyn Elvina Hauer (Mrs. R. P. Kerr). Her great-great grandmother was:
  • [Maria?] Catharina Ronnewinkel, who married Mathias Wigger. She was probably born before or about 1790. The detail above is from the 1829 marriage record of their 19-year-old daughter Maria Elisabeth Wigger. Catharina and Mathias were my fourth great-grandparents.
I haven't yet researched the Ronnewinkel surname any further.

You have the most interesting surnames! Names I have never seen before in my life... LOL Do you find that having these very different than the norm surnames makes it easier, or harder (because it was easier for them to be mispelled) to research them?

Gotta love those odd German ones, eh? One of these days, I'll have to see about those Wiggers and Ronnewinkels!
