Welcome !!

You have arrived at my version of  the Gerwing family tree. The information here relates mostly to Gerwings' in Canada, Germany, USA and Australia. This tree is devoted to the known ansestors and descendants of Heinrich Gerwing (1847-1905). Early variations of the name include Gerwinck,  Gerwerdinck, Gerwertinck, Gerwer, etc. The earliest generations listed lived in the Alstaette area of Germany. Church records there date back to the 1700's. Heinrich Gerwing emmigrated from Alstaette to the USA in 1871 settling in Minnesota. Other Gerwings (relationship to Heinrich unknown) emmigrated to the Kentucky area of the USA.
...........My purpose in posting on the internet is to gather additional information about Gerwings around the world so that future generations may better understand their roots. 
............So far the content of this website is the result of work by Rita Tagseth (Gerwing), Sharon Rolfes (Wisser), Constance Gerwing, Bernadine Morris (Gerwing), Lois Boser, Catherine Rubin, Alphonse Gerwing, Karl Schulte, Joylaura Fleischer, Rita Gockener, many other relatives and the Lake Lenore History Book.
