Family history Family history
|
|||||||
|
Only two generations of this family
line have been identified. The direct
descendents are my 9th great-grandfather Bonifazius Haug born
around 1565, and his daughter Anna Haug (my 8th
great-grandmother). Anna was a product
of Bonifazius’s second marriage to a woman named Susanna. This family apparently lived in that part
of Germany
known today as Baden-Wurttemberg. The exact
date and location of Bonifazius’s birth is not known but it is most probable
that he spent most if not all of his life in or near the towns of Oberacker, and Michelfeld. Anna who married Hans Katterman of
Michelfeld around 1632 gave birth to two known children before she passed
away in 1638. |

Origins of the
surname
|
||||||||
|
|
||||||||
|
|
||||||||
|
Research into the record of this Haug family line indicates that the
meaning and history of this surname is most likely linked to that area of
Europe where the German* language is commonly spoken. |
||||||||
|
|
||||||||
|
Meaning
of the Name Haug
comes from the Germanic
personal name Hugo which is in origin a short form of any of the
various Germanic compound names with the first element hug ‘heart’,
‘mind’, ‘spirit’. This surname is
comparable to Hauck which is also a from a dialect variant of the Germanic personal
name Hugo. |
||||||||
|
|
||||||||
|
History
of the Name This early surname recorded in over seventy forms ranging
from Hugh, Hew, Hauch, to Hugett, Hugonneau, and Ughini, is of pre 7th century German origins. The first spelling was as the given name
"Hugo" meaning "heart or mind", and as such this spelling
appears in the famous English Domesday Book of the year 1086. Perhaps not surprisingly given a meaning of
heart or mind, the personal name was highly popular, and by the 12th century
was to be found in almost every European country. The use of Haug as a German name is initially found in Bavaria, Germany where it was anciently
associated with the tribal conflicts of the area. |

Early
Immigrants to North America During
the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries hundreds
of thousands of Europeans made the perilous ocean voyage to North
America. For many it was an escape
from economic hardship and religious persecution. For most it was an opportunity for to start
over, own their own land, and make a better future for their descendents.
Immigration records show a number of people bearing the name of Haug, or one of its variants, as arriving
in North America between the 17th and 20th
centuries. Some
early known settlers of this family name or some of its variants were: Anna Elisabetha Hauck,
who settled in New York in 1710; Richard Hauge, who
settled in Virginia in 1713; Jacob Hauge, who came to Philadelphia in 1732. |

German Surname Meanings & Origins Many German names have their roots in the Germanic middle ages. The
process of forming family names began around the year 1100 and extended
through 1600. All social classes and demographic strata aided in the
development of names. First Names (Rufnamen) identified specific persons.
Over time the first name began to be applied to the bearer's whole family. At
first through verbal usage, family names (Familiennamen) were later fixed
through writing. Until the 17th century, first names played a more important
role. The earliest family names derived from the first name of the first
bearer (Patronym). Later names derived from the place of dwelling and
location of the homestead. If a person of family migrated from one place to
another they were identified by the place they came from. Of more recent
origin are names derived from the vocation of profession of the first bearer.
These names comprise the largest group and the most easily recognizable, for
they tell what the first bearer did for a living. Another group are names
derived from a physical or other characteristic of the first bearer. Finally,
there are names that tell you the state or region a first bearer and his
family came from; the age old division in tribes and regions (low German,
middle German and upper German) is often reflected in names. |

Variations
of the surname
|
|
||||||
|
Throughout the centuries, surnames in every country have continued
to unfold and expand often leading to an overwhelming number of variants. As such one
can encounter great variation in the spelling of surnames because in early
times, spelling in general and thus the spelling of names was not yet
standardized. Later on spellings would
change with the branching and movement of families. Spelling
variations of this family name include: Haug, Hauge, Hauger, Haugen,
Hauegern, Haugk,
Hauhken, Haugoumar,
Haugman, Haugwitz, and many others. |
||||||||
|
|
||||||||
|
The complexity of researching records is compounded by the fact that in many cases an ancestors surname may also have been misspelled. This is especially true when searching census documents. The Soundex system was developed in an effort to assist with identifying spelling variations for a given surname. Soundex is a method of indexing names in the 1880, 1900, 1910, and 1920 US Census, and can aid genealogists in their research. The Soundex Code for Haug is H200. Other surnames sharing this Soundex Code: HAACK | HAAG | HAAKE | HAAS | HAASE | HACK | HAGA | HAGEY | HAGUE | HAGY | HAIG | HAKE | HASH | HASS | HAUCK | HAUG | HAUGH | HAUK | HAUS | HAUSE | HAWES | HAWK | HAWKE | HAWKS | HAWS | HAWSE | HAYES | HAYS | HECK | HEGGIE | HEISE | HESCH | HESS | HESSE | HEUS | HEWES | HICKEY | HICKS | HIGGS | HIGH | HISE | HIX | HOAG | HOCH | HOCK | HOGE | HOGG | HOGGE | HOGUE | HOKE | HOOK | HOOKS | HOSEY | HOSS | HOUCK | HOUGH | HOUK | HOUSE | HOUSH | HOUX | HOWES | HOWSE | HOXIE | HUCK | HUCKS | HUG | HUGG | HUGHEY | HUGO | HUSK | HUSKEY | HUSKIE | HUSS | HUSSEY | HUX . |

Source documents

|
The documents and headstones contained within the
“Source Documents Archives” have been located during my research of this
family, and used as evidence
to prove many of the facts contained within the database of this family’s
record. Most
of these documents can be considered as primary or secondary evidence. Primary evidence is
usually defined as the best
available to prove the fact in question, usually in an original document or
record. Secondary evidence
is in essence all that evidence which is inferior in its origin to primary
evidence. That does not mean secondary evidence is always in error, but there
is a greater chance of error. Examples
of this type of evidence would be a copy of an original record, or oral
testimony of a record’s contents.
Published genealogies and family histories are also secondary
evidence. Classifying evidence
as either primary or secondary does not tell anything about its accuracy or
ultimate value. This is especially
true of secondary evidence. Thus it is
always a good idea to ask the following questions: (1) How far removed from
the original is it, (when it is a copy)?;
(2) What was the reason for the creation of the source which contains
this evidence?; and (3) Who was responsible for creating this secondary
evidence and what interest did they have in its accuracy? SOURCE: You are welcome
