Martin Nischmann is David Nitschmann's grandfather, I believe. I'll have to check out the exact info and let you know.

I have traced them as far back as 1545 with the earliest know Nitschmann name being that of Valentin Nitschmann. I did not know there were any earlier records. Please tell me if and when you find them. This is fascinating. Thanks and warm regards, Mark Nitchman

Hi Mark,

That's as far as I've gotten as well. :) I didn't have the info in front of me at the time and must have exaggerated a bit. I hope someday they'll be able to trace further than that!

Surnames: Serfass, Servas, Searfoss, Moravians
I am a descendant of Philip Servas who first set foot in America on August 27, 1739. He arrived at Philadelphia aboard the Samuel, an English ship commanded by Hugh Percy.

My ancestors were Moravians and escaped the massacre when they heard and smelled what was going on and ran to Nazareth to be helped by their fellow Moravians.

Hey katie,
Its wierd finding a thread on this site written by my father's sister's daughter. Haha. My dad still keeps up with the history and all that. You should ask him about Martin and David sometime. He's told me about the massacre countless times but I forget how everyones related.
Happy thanksgiving,
