P 7001 Old Families names starting with L

How long is a generation? Of course that varies with culture from 15-35 years. Male generations are longer usually around 30 years female generations shorter between low and high twenties averaging about 28 years. Another factor is how many children a family has. This varies between 0-16. In pre industrial ages the averages of male and female generations is 15-20 years but in the modern age it averages in the low thirties. So there is no absolute number. In this family tree the average is about 30 years. Mankind like ourselves have been on Earth about 50,000-200,000 years. If we count 25 years for the primitive ages and 30 years in the modern age (since 1800) that is around 2,000-8,000 generations. The actual count of male generations after the oldest in our line we can name starting at generation 8,000 and up to the present is 2,054-8,054 generations of human ancestors. All this just to get a perspective of where we are. In other words we only have around 53 generations that we have names for our ancestors. That is better than most families who can only name five generations. But if mankind doesn't stop the terrorists using nuclear weapons, the present generation may be the last generation of humans on this beautiful planet, which cockroaches and machines will inherit.

When one looks at our family history over the over 2,000-8,000 generations we see that we are all related to almost everyone else. Scientific thought, finding out the actual truth, facts and knowledge, has given us far more than superstition or religion. As Jesus said “The Truth will set you Free.” The most import thing we see when looking at our history is that we must be prepared to survive attacks from other humans which still plague our world even now and that we should also train our selves and our children to be Thinking, Loving, Caring, Kind Human beings. After all Humans should be Humane. We need to insist on the Golden Rule as a code of conduct as the expectation for all humans, that We must do to others only what we would want done to ourselves. And the Silver rule of Don't do to others what you would not want done to yourself.

Bring no harm to another by your actions or inaction. We need to create a world of peace where everyone can reach their best potential. Those who would do us harm must be suppressed or banished to remote Pacific Island where they can kill each other off. And we can create a force of police robots to deal with those who would violate the peace. We must also keep control of the police robots and not make them totally autonomous lest they become the masters.

Catharina Pungart Sex: F Birth: 11 APR 1853 in Austria-Hungary

Death: 28 APR 1938 in Molidorf,Austria-Hungary

I have the baptismal papers (written in German) for her grandson Carl Aaron and his middle name was spelled "Bungard". - Scott Aaron

Research from Sorin Fortiu adds even further possible spellings of this surname. All of these come from various church record entries regarding Catharina: Pugart, Pungert, Punhart, Bungart, Burckhard and Pungart. Nearly all of her children's birth records (the earliest records we have) list Catharina's name as "Pungart" so I think this was most likely the original spelling. - Scott Aaron

There was a Katherine Pungart born Jan 4, 1850 in Novoszelo to Philipus Pungart and Suzanna Kravacsek, and she was baptised in Toba (Molidorf church records), so its possible that Philipus and Suzanna were Catherine's parents. There was also a Jacob Bungert/Bungart who married Susanna Majer of Massdorf. Jacob and Susanna had a child die young in Molidorf, and Susanna passed away in Molidorf in 1852 at 36 years old. This would seem to make her too young to be Katherine's mother (if Catharina was indeed born in 1853). The interesting thing is that Catharina didn't have any children named Phillip, Jacob, or Susanna, which would likely be the case if either of these couples were her parents. - Scott Aaron Died from old age. - Scott Aaron

Death: 24 MAY 1963 in Saginaw,Saginaw,Michigan

Burial: West Side Cemetery,Freeland,Saginaw,Michigan

Came to U.S. on May 5th, 1905 on GNEISENAU. Married Johann Aron on Dec.7th, 1900 in Austria-Hungary.

1930 Census shows she was living at 11191 Charlemagne Ave. in Detroit. Also notes that she couldn't read or write (I'm guessing this means she couldn't read or write English, probably could German).

Research in church records by Sorin Fortiu says that Johann and Katherine were married on Dec. 9, 1900. They apparently had children that were born before that date however. Also, this seems to conflict with U.S. Census info. - Scott Aaron
