Purpose: This web site is devoted to the exchange of information and furtherance of genealogical research into the Weedman family and related lines.

Background:

There are three distinct Weedman families in the United States.

The largest group was descended from Christian Weedman, Sr., who immigrated to the United States in 1750.

Another Weedman family has Swedish roots and is descended from Olaf Weedman who immigrated in 1855 and settled near Galesburg, Illinois. Olaf apparently had two brothers and some of the Swedish Weedman lines may have descended from them.

The third Weedman family is Florida based and has German origins dating from before 1785.

Other Weedman families are found in Australia, Canada, England, South Africa and Zimbabwe.

A new page has been added to the web site in an effort to determine where Christian Weedman, Senior (aka Christian Widmann) originated. Click on the link below to the ship Anderson passenger list.

Wonder how you fit into the Weedman family? If you will provide some information which would allow us to trace your family back to one of our known lines, we can provide you with lineage and family information. Contact Nick Weedman by clicking on the underlined name and ask for your lineage. I will send a word processing file with your family line to you via e-mail.
