New Approach to Schug's Baumholder Bulletin
Beginning my Schug Story
by Charles and Dorey (geb. Snapp) Schug
There is dad again, sitting on the couch with his lap top in front of him spending time with his "old dead people". These are some of the memories my children will carry with them after I have gone on to join my "old dead people". But of course this is fine with me because I want them to have special and quality memories to share with friends and family as their lives unfold.
My journey of searching my ancestry actually began long before I discovered the wonderful old picture in my mothers garage. When my oldest son Brian was five years old we commuted to a Methodist church, ten miles from our home. With more children on the way and our desire that tey have a place to grow spiritually and enjoy youth activities we decided to find a new church home. Grace Lutheran was right around the corner. My mantra became " I belong to the church closest to me". As a baby I was baptized Presbyterian and raised in the Methodist church. All I knew of my extended family was that my parents were born and raised in North Eastern Indiana. They very rarely talked of the relatives nor did we make trips to the mid west. The day I discovered all those wonderful pictures!
Through all of the research over the years I have been able to trace my fathers family back to Baumholder Germany. Their emigration records list them as Evangelich which I learned means they were members of the Lutheran church. So you see my mantra of attending the "church closest to me"means so much more than distance from my home to the church doors. I have a great spiritual bond with the Schug family who came over from Baumolder, Prussia in 1848, so many years ago.
I learned how important my ancestors faith was to them.
On my dads mother, Effie Loretta Woodward (1880-1941) side:
Woodward's were Puritans, with my Tenth Great Grandfather being William Bradford Governor of Plymouth, a Pilgrim.
Stoneburner's were were Lutherans when they arrived in Philidelphia 1752 aboard the St. Andrews out of Rotterdam. Three generations latter Israel Stoneburner and two of his brothers were Dunkard's "Church of the Brethren" pastors.
On my mothers father, Forrest Roscoe Fenimore (1889-1969) side:
Fenimore's were Quakers from Tingewick. England arrived in Delaware in 1777 aboard the Kent
My mothers mother Audry Gaynell Kindig (1894-1953)
Kendig's were one of twenty Swiss Mennonites who founded Lancaster, Pennsylvania in 1710.
