Part 1
The Langeln Bohnstedt Line (Group 1)
in Germany, Europe, Russia and AustraliaThe Bohnstedt Family Originating in Langeln, and descending into Westphalia, into Swedish Pomerania and then into Sweden and Russia, into Prussia and then into Norway, Australia, Mexico, Africa, and Los Angeles California
"Part 1; The Langeln Bohnstedt Line in Germany and Throughout Europe" discusses a single Bohnstedt family which originated in central Germany in the early 1500s and extended into Swedish Pomerania, Sweden, Russia, Prussia and eastern Germany, Norway, Australia, as well as two individual Bohnstedts in Mexico and German Southwest Africa (Deutsche Südwest Afrika), now Namibia.
Beginning with Bartholomäus Bonstedt in the early 1600's this branch of the Bohnstedt family have been, for the most part, urban dwellers. Bartholomäus' son, Sigismund, was a Lutheran pastor. Two of Sigismund's sons, David Sigismund and Georg Christian became career churchmen, serving in the towns and cities of North Rheinland.
Another of Bartholomäus Bonstedt's sons, Jacob Bonstedt, became the ancestor of a family line in Swedish Pomerania. Many of Jacob's descendants were traders and businessmen, and legal and government officials. Most of this family line lived in Stralsund, on the Baltic coast. The wealth and social status of this family continued to grow, and two descendants of this family line migrated to Sweden and Russia, where they founded new family lines.
As with the family lines in Swedish Pomerania these Bohnstedt family lines in Sweden and Russia were urban dwellers. In Sweden the core of the family began in Stockholm, while in Russia the family line there began in St. Petersburg. Like Stralsund, both Stockholm and St. Petersburg are situated on the Baltic coast. And like the Bohnstedt family in Stralsund, the Bohnstedt families in Stockholm and St. Petersburg were often businessmen and traders, government officials, and other professions, such as doctors, lawyers, and artists.
If there was any part of this family that might be considered "rural", it might be the family line in East Prussia descending from Christoph Bohnstädt, another son of Bartholomäus Bonstedt. Many sections of this family line existed in the countryside as wealthy farming estate owners. A number of Bohnstedt men who descended from this family line also became government officials and businessmen, like their distant cousins in Sweden and Russia. A number of them also became senior military officers.
The genealogical Family Tables in Part 1 are subdivided into thirteen sections. For the most part they are arranged and grouped according to geographic region; such as Pomerania, Sweden, Russia, Norway, and Australia. The amount of information in the "Prussian" lines is much more extensive, and is therefore broken down into six sub-groups. The arrangement of these sub-groups is modeled after the logical arrangement used by Dr. Georg Bohnstedt in the Appendix G: Mitglieder de Bohnstedt'schen Familien-Verbandes März 1938 (1938 List), in the Appendix I: Stammbaum der Familie Bohnstedt (1923 Stammbaum) and described in more detail in The Bohnstedt Lines in Prussia and the Bohnstedt Noble Estates.
The families and individuals listed in Part 1 all have verifiable relationships to each other, and all descended from "A. Bonsted".
