I am trying to connect our branch of von Blankenfelds to the Prussian/Brandenburg roots.I have documented direct lineage back to Franz Johann von Blankenfeld whose son Franz Anton was born in Mossern (now Mojzir] by Aussig (Usti nad Labem) in the present Czech Republic on the border with Saxony. Our family have lived in Bohemia since then, mostly professionals, minor public servants, soldiers and priests.The family started using surname Rebenstreicher/ Rebensteiger at about 1700.
Besides an extensive documentation with many original documents I am also in posesion of the family seal with the family crest.
Now I am trying to bridge the gap between the Fifteenth and Seventeenth Century.
I will be happy to share my records, which were also recently posted in the World tree.
Thanks for any help.
Fred.
