WERLICH GENEALOGY
Compiled by Glenn Gohr


The WERLICH surname is German, and the earliest ancestor in my branch of the family hails from Bohlen, Schwarzburg, Schwarzburg-Rudolstadt, Thuringen (now Germany). It connects through my ROEMHILDT family which eventually settled in Wisconsin and Minnesota.

I've been amazed at all the materials available through the LDS Church either through microfilms of church records in Germany and Eastern Europe, or through their IGI and other official church records. Most of the information I have on the WERLICH family comes the LDS Ancestral File: http://www.familysearch.com
