About us
Looking for European Leiningers and their descendants worldwide. Two main groups, which may or may not be related:
1) Philipp Jacob Leininger b. 1627 and Johann Jacob Leininger b. 1638, both of Lichtenberg, Bas-Rhin, France, and relocated to Mietesheim 1679-80, may be first cousins and grandsons of Philipp Leininger fl. about 1600; other prob. desc. of Philipp elsewhere in Bas-Rhin; numerous descendants in U.S.A.; other yet-unconnected Leiningers at Wolfisheim, Bas-Rhin, early 1600s.
2) Leiningers around 1600 at Reutlingen, Wuertemberg, Germany: one Sebastian came to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, 1748 and died in Indian massacre 1755, leaving descendants of sons Johannes and Georg.
