                There is now actual genealogy on our web site.  As you will remember from the 19th issue of this newsletter the site previously contained information about our newsletter and various genealogy books on Rader/Roeder lines.  That is no longer true as I have added over 300 new pages.  These pages are networked together to provide information on all known immigrants plus descendants of two colonial immigrants.

I started with the descendants of Adam Rader, who is the father of those in the Allentown, PA and Timberville, VA colonial Roeder families.  I included the first five generations of his descendants.  There are only 84 pages in this area because I started with the 3 generations in Europe and we only know one or two descendants from those early families.  This section has an every person index and each family has it’s own page.

I then added my own immigrant Casper Roetter of Wythe Co, VA and five generations of his descendants.  The  215 pages in this area start with the immigrant because we do not have his European  source nor ancestors

The third new section is the contents extracted from the Filby passenger list books.  You will remember the information from issue 1 and 2 of this newsletter which was updated in the 5th issue.  That 1992 update needs to be worked on because Filby has published several new yearly volumes since then.

 

 

            This article is another example of why we should collect our medical history.  When you find illness and causes of death please share them.  The life you save may be your grandchild !!

One Family’s Search for a Faulty Gene

(from the Wall Street Journal Thursday Aug 15, 1996)

by Wendy Bounds

          When the Slone family of Eastern Kentucky got together in a Virginia park earlier this year, physicians from three states flipped hamburgers and dished out potato salad.  In between servings, the doctors drew blood samples from family members and filled out medical charts.

          The Slones carry a mutant gene for hereditary pancreatitus, a rare and painful illness that causes the pancreas to literally digest itself during attacks.  Known in Kentucky as simply “Sloans disease,” it has traveled from one generation to another, affecting some family members and not others.  Doctors from the universities of Pittsburg, Kentucky and Cincinnati now think they have isolated the faulty gene that causes it, thanks to the Slone family’s reunions, which have helped track down information about more that 700 family members in nine generations.

          Mapping family medical histories is at the heart of genetics research.  As physicians try to establish heredity links for diseases from cancer to diabetes, they are learning all they can about how such illnesses pass through families.  By doing intricate molecular comparisons of those who are affected and those who aren’t, researchers hope to pinpoint the exact genes responsible.  That, in turn, may lead to tests that can predict whether offspring will have the disease or not, and ultimately to possible treatments as well

          (one column left out - see the Journal on page B1)

          One weekend, Cleveland doctors told the Sloans they wanted to study the hereditary nature of the disease.  They asked Bobby Sloan, if he had a family tree ----

          Mr Sloan began to chronicle his findings on white poster board. With a green marker, he underlined names of relatives who’d been diagnosed with pancreatitus or recalled suffering similar pain.  With an orange marker he underlined those who also had diabetes.- - -

          Finding Kevin was a breakthrough; discovering that his father had constructed a family tree was icing on the cake !!!!!

There are more good documents in the basement, if you are going that way be sure to contact Beverly and/or Mary to see if you can get copies for us.  Beverly sent me a list of 27 legal cases which happened in 1814-1816.

What is needed is someone with the time to volunteer and do the xeroxing.  The county charges may be as much as $1 per page but as you can see it is worth it.  These actual original documents do not exist anywhere else

 

WWII Röder soldier’s letter home - has NOT arrived yet

[JLR1] During World War II my grandfather was handed a “Soldbuch” by a dying german soldier named Horst Röder.  I have spent the last year and a half looking for living relatives of this man.  I intend to return the book to the family as soon as I can.  There are many pictures of family included in the book as well as a letter to his wife Margareta Röder

 

          one of the few typed documents reads:

Dem   Gefreiten  (Dienftgrad)

Horst Röder (Bor = und Suname)

2./ Div. Fus. Btl. (A.A.) 334

Mr Anderson promised his dying father he would get these items to the family.  If you can help please do.  I hope to obtain good copies of the photographs so that I can put them on the web so those European Internet users can see them.

I sent the following EMAIL to the page in question

It is swedish. "Rader" is the swedish word for lines.

In Germany Reder is Bicycle

>> >>"Vier Reder am Dach sind fr die meisten Autos zuviel"

 

>Could you please tell me if the "Vier Reder means by wheel

I guess in that case "Reder" is short for "Fahrreder" what means=

 bicycles.

          It says that 4 bikes on a car are too much.

my father's family tree going back to the year 16xx

Re: Rotter surname

From:   Mark Rotter <markr@global.co.za>

      

References:         1

 

Hi James,

 

I'm sorry but I only did a bit of research into my family tree and that was in 1988 when I toured around in Europe for a few months, so most of what I can contribute are "fuzzies".

 

When I was in Germany and Austria I found out that at one stage my family did have the name "Roter" and this is derived from the German word for the colour red this being "Rot". ... I think "Roter" would mean "redder" as in "more red in colour"

 

I also know that I have an uncle (once/twice removed?) in Vienna who has a copy of my father's family tree going back to the year 16xx (This was from during the time of Hitler when all Germans needed to have their family tree that far back because of his perverted view that there

should be no Jewish ancestry in the "pure" German race.)

 

I believe (and this may be totally wrong) that one of the Rotter's from that family tree moved to New York this century sometime ... First Name: Juergen?

 

If you really want his address then I will make and effort to look for it, but having just recently married and being engaged quite seriously at my church as well as at the Bible College and in business I find myself already slightly overextended :) so please have mercy when you

send queries on to me :) :) :)

 

Just for interest sake ... on my Grandfather's side of the family (Rotter) ... his Father was married to a lady called "Pauluci de la Roncoli" (I don't know the correct spelling.) and she was a

descendant (by eldest son ... except for her of course) of the "Kaiser"  / King of Venice ... in the year 7xx ... yes sevenhundred and something.   This is the family tree that goes the farthest that I have ever seen ... what is the farthest that you have come across?

 

God's richest blessings !!!

 

Yours in Christ  markr

To: "James L. Rader" <rader@calweb.com>

From: Ed Rider <erider34@nr.infi.net>

Subject: Re: Rader/Roeder/Ritter ancestry

 

Dear Jim,

 

Thanks for your response.

 

Previous researchers of my Rider ancestors have linked my GGGGGgrandfather

Christopher Rider of Rowan and Burke Counties, NC to Henry Rider/Rader and

then on to Adam of Augusta County, VA. The linking of Henry to Adam has to

do with several circumstantial facts;

 

1. Henry Rider/Rader's name was actually John Henry Rider/Rader. Adam had

two sons (Samuel and John) who some believed were killed by indians. Those

researchers believe that the John of Augusta County and Henry of Rowan

County were one in the same.

 

2. Henry lived beside a Charles Robinson who was a former neighbor of and

leased land to Adam Rader of Augusta County. It is even possible that

Henry's wife, Elizabeth, was the daughter of Charles Robinson.

 

3. Henry was aparantly close friends with a Nicholas Fry, another former

neighbor of Adam Rader.

 

While I do believe that Christopher was certainly related to Henry, I'm not

so sure they were father and son. The reason for my doubts involves a recent

find I made of a 1760 tax list that includes Christopher and not Henry. I

find it very strange that Christopher would have been living alone on his

own and not near his father at such a young age. The first record I have

found of John Henry Rider/Rader was a document wherein he was given a bounty

for the ears of a predatory cat in 1765.

The bottom line here is that I am seeking additional evidence of the

parentage of Christopher.

 

The book that I bought from you confirmed many of my findings. Much of the

information I had already learned from books by Cecile Rhodes Cannon and Dr.

Bill Rader.

 

I have not yet published my findings as I have a great deal of additional

research to do. However, I just started publishing a quarterly newsletter. I

will send you a copy. I would like to have a copy of your newsletter. My

address is;
