This project is designed to see how the various Pennybaker (and similar spelling) families are related and to examine their origins. Some of the many different spellings include: Panabaker, Pannabaker, Pannabecker, Pannebacker, Pannebaker, Pannebakker, Pannebecker, Pannenbecker, Pannenbeckers, Pannepacker, Penibaker, Pennebaker, Pennybacker, Pennybaker, Pennypacker, Pfannebecker and Baker. Though most "Pennys" trace their ancestry back to Hendrick, there are other lines that we would love to learn more about. Please see this family line on the free, one world WikiTree and add your family twig if they are not already there: https://www.wikitree.com/genealogy/Pfannebecker-Descendants-2 The original name was probably Pfannebacker because the family were bakers of roofing tiles. The family crest on the Pennybaker Project page shows three of these roofing tiles.
