Aaron J. Biterman -- Family History
 notable 1st cousin of 7th great-grandfather I have been interested in family history and genealogy since the late 1990s. My research has been on and off and is somewhat scattered and disorganized. That said, with the help of cousins from across the globe, I have been able to identify ancestors in Austria, the Czech Republic, Denmark, France, Germany, Poland/Russia, and Slovenia/Yugoslavia. I have three separate Meyer/Maier/Myer lines -- two in France and one in Germany and two distinct Deibler/Deubler lines in Bayern (Bavaria). All of my ancestors ended up in Washington County, Wisconsin or in Milwaukee, therefore nearly all of my research is focused on Germans or Eastern Europeans who settled in Wisconsin. Thus far my ancestors include those of the Roman Catholic, Lutheran, and Jewish faith traditions. Nearly all of my ancestors I have been able to identify were common, average, hard-working folks. The most famous relative I have confirmed is the late German eye doctor Johannes Andreas Eisenbarth (1663-1727), a distant cousin. I also have an ancestor, Thekla Vogl Lemberger, who knit layettes for the King of Germany and several ancestors who were either doctors or teachers in sixteenth and seventeenth century France (Alsace). On the Jewish side of my family, an oral tradition indicates that my 3rd great-grandfather was a rabbi in Zamosc, Poland. I have been unable to substantiate the oral tradition. There is also an unsubstantiated oral tradition that my Biterman family traces back to Spain. I have participated in genetic genealogy to find out more about my paternal lines, since most records on Jews in Poland are non-existent pre-1800. Most of my research in the U.S. is complete. The lines I have had the most difficult time tracing in Europe include Vehovar family of Slovenia, the Vogl family of Hütten in Bavaria, the Brumer/Fuks family of the Lublin province in Poland, the Doll/Toll family of the Nordrhein-Westphalen province in Germany, the Frank family of Vallendar, Prussia, and the Strablegg family of Leutschach, Austria. I encourage you to get in touch with me if you think we are related.
