The subject of this web-site is the Witte name and the associated families.
This site
is originated in the United Kingdom where a large amount of genealogical
research has been carried out. The prime mover was the late Philip
Thomas, a genealogical lawyer, who was related to the Witte family
by marriage. More recently, research has been carried out by Geoff
Witte.
The first
Witte generation in the UK was Albert Oscar Witte who was born in
Swansea, South Wales but his parents came from Berlin and Magdeburg
in East Prussia. At the end of the 19th Century, some Witte’s emigrated
to Brisbane, Australia. Some descendants moved to the USA and New
Zealand.
There is a Witte genealogy page to which information is being added daily. It will take some time even to list existing information! However, do not let that put you off looking at the pages! They use the phpGedView program which makes it possible for you to add or amend information as well.
Access is restricted to those people who have a legitimate interest in the family history. If you believe that this includes you, please follow the link on the left and apply for name and password access. Should you application be rejected, please contact genealogy@witte.org.uk.
