Ammerman Family Pedigrees

[ammermanAdmin]

We invite you to submit your "Pedigree" for the Ammerman Family Project Patriarch page. (You don’t have to be a test participant to post your family pedigree.)  

There are two ways to make your pedigree available to the project administrator for posting on the Patriarch Page:
1.  Send the pedigree by email directly to carrie@worldfamilies.net in the simplified form described below  (If you send it this way, your pedigree will only be posted on the Patriarch Page, and will not be included in the Pedigree Forum)
Be sure to include  
                 Email address you wish to be posted with the pedigree
                 Kit number of the project participant whose pedigree this is
                 Name, birthdate, birthplace, spouse for each generation (direct  male line).

2.  Log-in to post your pedigree on the Pedigree Forum.  By posting your pedigree on the forum, you are making it available for the Project Administrator to post it on the Patriarch Page, along with your contact information, and kit number (or code identity number).

1. You must be logged in to post on this forum.

3. Please read the following instructions, then scroll down to the last posting on this forum and click "reply" in order to post your pedigree.


4. The pedigree for a Surname Project follows your paternal line.  Please post only the information for each generation:

Suggestions for Posting your Pedigree on this forum:

o        Post four pieces of information for each ancestor

o        Begin with the earliest generation

o        Use standard abbreviations:  m=married, b=born, d=died, c=circa, Co=county, VA=Virginia, GA=Georgia, etc

o        Try to keep to one line per generation

o        Include only generations that have this family surname

o        Provide your name and email address as the pedigree provider

o        Provide the kit number and/or project code identity number if pedigree is for a tested participant

o        Use surname with each generation

o        Don’t use all caps

o        Don’t include anyone whose birthdate is after 1910, for privacy concerns.

o        Don’t number the generations 

Scroll down to the last posting on this forum and click "reply". Post your pedigree in the box provided, and click "Post".    

If you do not see a"reply" tab, it means you have lost your log in and will need to log in again in order to post. Go back to the project home page, log in again, and return to the pedigree forum. Login should hold the second time.

I see the Amer name in the list of variants.  A similar surname is in my line and quite mysterous.  It is Fannie Omer from Sturgis, Union County, KY b abt 1835 m my gg gf William G. Henry.  I know nothing about my Omers.

I have read that the Omer name may be connected to the Ammer name.  Ancestry.com says Omer is "French: from a Germanic personal name composed of the elements aud ‘wealth’ + mari, meri ‘renowned’. As a Huguenot name, it is also found in Germany.  Possibly a respelling of German Ohmer."

For Ammerman it says, "Americanized spelling of German Ammermann, a regional name for someone from Ammerland, an area in Oldenburg."

For Ammer is says, "from Middle High German amer ‘bunting’ (the bird), hence a nickname for someone with a fine voice, or a flamboyant dresser.   In southern Germany, possibly a topographic name for someone living by the Ammer river."

Also according to Ancestry the largest number of Omer families in the 1920 census were in NY, IL & KY with 14 to 26 families.  Ammer is more rare but Ammerman is much more common.
