Next installment!

The next document to deal with comes from, funnily enough, the family tree of the wife of Helmut Foerster, who descended from the marriage between Anna Dorothea Ubtighofer and Wilhelm Ziegler that I talk about in my last email. in her family tree, Ubtighofer is spelled with a "k": Ubtigkofer. It obviously refers to the same people, though. Mrs. Foerster's family tree information is split up between two separate pieces of paper, between which I am jumping back and forth to summarise for you below.

In this tree, Peter is neither relevant nor mentioned, but we gain important information about his lineage via his sister, Anna Dorothea. Her dates, 1717-1759, concur with what we found in the previous document, and it is stated that her father (and thus Peter's father) is Franz Ubtigkofer. Franz's wife is not mentioned, but his dates are:

Born 1687 in ?? Died April 25, 1749 in Epfenbach.

Franz's parents (and thus Peter's grandparents) are given as Johann Joachim Ubtigkofer and Elisabeth Keller. There is no further info on Elisabeth Keller, and there are no dates for Johann Joachim, but it is written of him:

Born ? in Switzerland? Died ? in Epfenbach?

Apparently, after the Thirty Years' War (1618-1648), there was a large influx of Swiss Germans into the area, and Johann Joachim may have been part of that. The whole region suffered terribly from time to time from wars of religion and territorial disputes with France, and from epidemics that followed such conflicts, and so towns were often resettled with immigrants afterwards. Indeed, as you know, there was plenty of impetus to leave the Palatinate for the New World, although nowadays it is a lovely area of Germany."
