Whislers at Rootsweb


Welcome to the companion website for the Whisler (Whissler, Whistler, Wisler, Wissler variants) mail list on Rootsweb. Many of our ancestors had their names misspelled by clerks, or changed the spellings themselves, so we've included the various spellings as part of the whole. To prevent finger burn-out ;^) we'll use Whisler to refer to them all. We hope to bring together information that will help your research endeavors into your own ancestry as well as allow you to gather information that can't be provided on the mail list (such as photos or maps). If you're a subscriber, please send me the stuff you want put up here - the more the merrier!

Currently our mail list has 47 members whose Whislers are from all around Europe, Canada and the United States! The major separations before entering the United States seem to be German, Swiss and English. A lot of settlers came to Pennsylvania and Ohio and from there spread across the continental U.S. and Canada.
