The European connection:

- The first recorded information was about my ancestor who was Daniel Zumwald and who was born in Switzerland around 1640. He became a brick maker and lived in Peterback and Weltersweiler. He married Veronica (no middle initial?). Their third child was:

- Johann Philipp Zumwald who was born in Weltersweiler 25 February 1670. He died prior to 15 March 1711 and is probably buried in Weltersweiler or Lohr/Alsace. He married Susanna Feller who died in Overaverbach after 17 February 1726. One of their children was the first to come to America and who was my ancestor. He was:

- Johan Welhelm Andrew Zumwald who came to America at age 39 arriving the 24th of September 1737 aboard the good ship "Virtuous Grace", John Bull, Master. The ship's manifest shows a total of 225 passengers but only males over 16 years of age are identified. It is assumed that his wife and three daughters accompanied him. The family settled in Pennsylvania in 1737, only one year after the William Penn family and the Indians had signed a treaty.
