Herzlich Willkommen!!!

   Welcome to my genealogy website. I have been researching my Brunner family line over the past decade and have made many interesting discoveries. I'm directly descended from some of the first Brunners to arrive in this country indeed before this country was even formed. Some of my ancestors may have played key roles in the very founding of America. Through our connections with the Rittenhouse line (via the Heilig line) we are related to some prominent figures in Amercan History there is even a connection to the Great Seal of the United States and the Mason Dixon Line. 

   Of primary interest to me are the Pennsylvania Brunners of Worcester Township, Montgomery County, Lower Milford, Northampton County, sometimes referred to as the 'Blue Church' Brunners, and those of Berks County, specifically those with ties to the Boyertown and Oley Valley areas. I hope to figure out how they all interconnect, I have ancestry in all three lines.

   Click on the picture to the left to see what I have discovered regarding the lineage of John Brunner, my 3rd Great Grandfather, buried at Hill Church in Bechtelsville, PA.
