Schochenmaier's family tree on Black Sea German Research

http://www.blackseagr.org/

I am happy to inform you that info from our family tree has been published on Black Sea German Research. You may search through all members of our family































They found a program that would allow to convert the dates from Ancestry's to one format – European. They have uploaded our tree to their Black Sea German database. It is listed under Schochenmaier Family by Eugen Schochenmaier. Also, they have privatized our family tree to protect those who are still living.

Mapping spread of the oldest Schochenmaiers

Today I'd like to map one more time the oldest Schochenmaiers (which can be found on FamilySearch) after we "erased" Leopold Schahenmeyer from our family tree. By the "oldest" Schochenmaiers I mean the Schochenmaiers before the relocation to the South Russia (1820s?)

It looks like follows:

I am not sure if we can trace the spread of the family or find any system. However, we could recognize:

1. In the middle, there is Maria Schochenmeyer(in), actually the oldest one (highlighted with blue).

2. The cluster 1 (highlighted with green) is to be seen to the North where there were five families within three areas:

Stuttgart 1690s-1720s
Ludwigsburg 1770s-1800s
Heilbronn 1800s-1860s

3. The cluster 2 (highlighted with yellow) can be found to the South where there were 4 families in the limits of

Freiburg (1730s)
Herbolzheim (1790s)
Lahr (1750s-1790s)

Should we conclude that there had been two spread branches of Schochenmaiers: one in Baden (South: Freiburg - Lahr), another in Württemberg (North: Stuttgart - Heilbronn)? I think the splitting of the family is not so visible, we are just trying to reconstruct the distribution of the Schochenmaiers and we do not possess all data from the church records. That is why it's only one of the possibilities.

One thing is clear that the only candidate for relocation, in the terms of time!, is the family part from the Heilbronn area. The same idea is supported by another Schochenmaiers who are actually living in Bavaria (Germany) and St. Petersburg (Russia). It's important to notice that in Heilbronn, the Swabian dialect was and is speaking, such an interesting fact corresponds with the statement of my great grandmother who said that we had spoken the Swabian German.

I don't know if it's enough to pick this theory. Let's advance!!
