This ever-evolving list of genealogical information, starting
with my grandparents and progressing (or is that Regressing) backward,
is being made available for others searching for data on their
own family trees. I have found a lot of information on the internet
and wish to share it with fellow genealogists. No persons still
living are listed.

7776 Kilian Plankenbuhler. Born in Austria?.
Kilian Plankenbuhler and wife Martha
of Plankenbuhl, of Gresten Parish, Austria, [born circa 1585],
had ten, possibly eleven children.
The name Blanckenbuhler is found in
the Catholic parish registers for the early 1600's of Gresten,
Austria where children were born to Jakob Plankenbuhler, living
at Pletzenberg, and Kilian Plankenbuhler at Plankenbuhl. Those
locations are farm names which do not appear to have survived
to present day. The farm Plankenbuhl is probably the source of
the Plankenbuhler/Blanckenbuhler surname. Since Gresten parish
registers date from 1630, no entry for the birth of Matthias Blanckenbuhler,
the ancestor of the Neuenburg line who was born about 1621, was
made. Therefore, it is impossible to determine, from parish registers,
which brother was Matthia's father. Both Kilian of Plankenbuhl
and Matthias of Neuenburg named a son Thomas, but that is the
only similarity in family naming patterns.
