Figuring out the origin of the Siebenlist Family and its descendants is quite a job. Little by little we learn more about where we came from and about the members of the family. We know now that we could NOT have come into existence. Why? Well, because our Dutch forebear (Johan Casper Siebenlist, 1731) fathered a son for the first (and last) time, when he’d reached 59 already. If this had not happened, we, the Dutch branch of the family, would never have come into existence. And you (therefore) would not have been looking at this website.

In Russia we know of a Johann Siebenlist and Jacoba Trunk. But they had only daughters. The line should have ended there. But doesn't. So apparently more Siebenlist left Germany for Russia. In Germany we also see families with 8-10 children, where in the end only one male is responsible for continuing he familyname. Digging out the family tree shows us that the family never really brimmed with originality when it came to naming the children. In Holland we run into the names Johan Casper en Hendrik Frederik over and over again. Germany has its fair share of Elisabeth, Catharina, Margaretha and Hans and Johann. But it remains somehow enormously interesting to see how the family tree branches out and to see which family surnames are related to our own.
