First Generation


I have decided for this recorded history of the family, I will use the birth names as they were entered into the parish records. As you read each generation the spelling of the birth name may change, even within the same family group. Some of the most common variations of spelling are: Gotsch, Götsch, Göttsche, Gottsch, Goettsch, and Göttsch.

Note: The "+" sign in front of a number indicates a marriage with children and the family continues in the next generation.
