Welcome to the Braeutigam Family History website!
I have collected numerous photographs, census forms, newspaper articles, and genealogy information on the Braeutigam family over the past 20 years. My goal is to have this site as a place for sharing our family history.

The site is setup to navigate between families listed on the left side of the page.

Johann Valentin Braeutigam is the father of Johann Wolfgang Braeutigam. The families listed below Johann Wolfgang Braeutigam are his children in the order they were born. I have included the eight children that survived childhood. The three female children are listed by their married name only.

Click on the family name to view photographs, census records and other information I have collected.

Thanks for coming, enjoy your visit!

All relatives are welcome to attend. Please make reservations in the Fredericksburg area early as they tend to fill up fast with families visiting for the weekend.
UPDATE March 1, 2009
We have recently made contact with a common ancestor in Kaltenlengsfeld, Germany and they have added two generations to our family. We can now trace our family back to Johann Wolfgang Bräutigam born in 1733. His son was Johann Christian Bräutigam born in 1760. His son was Johann Valentin Christian Bräutigam born in 1791.
I have also added some information in the Contact info section on links to websites in Fredericksburg, Texas and for Kaltenlengsfeld, Germany.
UPDATE December 23, 2008
I have added some information in the Misc files section on Fredericksburg, Texas and Gilliespie County. I have also added several links to YouTube with videos on Gillespie County including some with family members.
UPDATE November 11, 2008
I have completely redone the Braeutigam Family History website. I have added a page for each family so it should be much easier to find information pertaining to your branch of the Braeutigam family. I have also added more census records from the 1800's up to 1930 (the latest available).
UPDATE October 18, 2008
Click on the Johann Wolfgang Braeutigam link for the JW Braeutigam family history collection of family photographs that I have put together. I have saved it in PDF format.
UPDATE October 1, 2008
Click on the Otto Braeutigam link  for information about Elgin Luckenbach and the incredible story of finding his remains that were missing since April 16, 1944 in the South Pacific!
UPDATE August 28, 2008
Click on the Misc files link to see all the 'old' Braeutigam Newsletters from the 90's. I have converted them to PDF format!

Also look for several of the 1992 revision of the Braeutigam Family History - tell me what you think!
