family tree ... the women


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matrilineality

How difficult it is to make a family tree by following the female line ! ....  To me those family trees that only follow male ancestors never made sense.
It was a woman who gave me life to me after all.

Here is what I have ... the women leading up to me, starting in 1739 ...we all have different names, names a man gave us. What would I be called if we all had gotten our mothers´names? I´ll never know.


Catherine Bingen born 1739 -  died 9.7.1809 in Bech-Kleinmacher
Susanna Thomes  born 16.4.1760 in Kleinmacher- died 17.3.1817 in Bech-Kleinmacher
Susanna Perdang born 18.11.1780 in Bech-Kleinmacher - died 2.3. 1842 n Bech-Kleinmacher
Susanna Gales born in Bech-Kleinmacher 23.2.1809 - died 15.9.1849 in Remich
Maria Bomb born in Remich 2.1.1841 - died 1913 in Trier
Marie Rhein born in Remich 12.8.1862 - died 27.5.1938 in Luxembourg
Marie Germaine Mathilde Berg born in Eich 24.09.1892 - died in 1977
Mathilde „Tilly“ Biwer born in Eich 17.6.1914 - died 1.4.2001
Marie Paulette Germaine Bernadette Nicole Neys born in Eich15.8.1938 - died in Luxembourg 3.4.1991

It´s ridiculous, but i don´t even know whether my grandmother had any siblings ....
