Welcome to the Family TUMMOSCHEIT Homepage!

This website is dedicated to the history and genealogical research of the Tummoscheit, Differt, Spangenberg, Dette and Ritzenhoff families..

The main focus is on the Tummoscheit family, their direct ancestors and other people who share the same surname. The family roots of the Tummoscheit line can be traced primarily to the former region of East Prussia.

Another important branch on the paternal side is the Differt family, whose roots are mainly in Silesia. At the beginning of our research, relatively little was known about this branch of the family. Since then, however, we have been able to identify numerous ancestors, family connections and historical sources. As a result, the history of the Differt family is now much more extensively documented and has become an important part of our genealogical database.

Thanks to the extensive research carried out by my two uncles, Ferdinand and Nikolaus Spangenberg, we have also been able to add numerous ancestors from the Spangenberg, Dette and Ritzenhoff family lines to the database. These branches belong to the maternal side of my family and are primarily connected to Thuringia and North Rhine-Westphalia.

Bringing Family History to Life

More and more historical sources are being digitised and made publicly available. As a result, new information, photographs, certificates and documents are regularly discovered. Our family database is therefore continuously expanded and updated.

The aim of this website is to collect and preserve as much information as possible about our ancestors, family names and their history. In addition to birth, marriage and death records, the collection includes historical certificates, church records, photographs and other documents in which members of our families are mentioned.

In this way, we hope to create a comprehensive family archive that will give my son and future generations access to their family roots.
