| J. R. Bader in America |
Please notice the two new Pages I just added to this site (see tabs, above). "Baders from 1645" is an incredible chronology of Baders from 1645 in Hugsweier, Germany, to the generation that emigrated to America in the late 19th Century.
All of the information comes from our cousin Daniel Bader in Kaiserslautern, Germany. He sent me a long, detailed pdf document months ago, the result of ten years of research he and his wife, Manuela, have done in Germany, which I have (finally!) found the time to copy out and post, so everyone else can read it too.
The other new Page is "Baders in US" which begins with the generation of Baders that founded our branch of the family in America, and lists their families and descendants. I got most of this information from the 10-page Bader Family History that my Mom (Barbara Bader Jensen) wrote out in longhand a few years ago, based on the handwritten family history she inherited from her father (Carl George Sr). Mom also kept excellent records of everyone's birth dates through the early 1990s in her ancient Birthday Book, which I've plundered extensively for this list!
However, this document is woefully incomplete regarding recent and current generations of Baders. I've filled in where I could (with many thanks to our cousins Catherine Doyle Sullivan and Linda Trotter-Heger for sending me updated info on their branches of the clan). But there are still plenty of embarrassing gaps in my limited knowledge, so if anyone has anything to add or correct, please let me know and I'll fix it.
Also, remember, these are just chronologies of names and dates. There are still lots more stories to tell!
