Description
There is no record of Jeremias and Bela Rosenzweig prior to 1820. They could have changed their family name, or, more likely, moved from another place. If you have any comparable ancestors from that era, from another part of the world, please let me know.
Jeremias Rosenzwieg died near Hannover, Germany in 1845. His wife, Bela Catharin (b 1780), and he had three children: Juda, Levy and Frederich Wilhelm Julius (b 11 Mar 1820, in Echte, Germany).
Juda had a daughter, Fanny.
Levy had two children: Ida (b 1840, d 1846) and Julius (b 1846, d 1868).
Frederich married Helene Dorothy Jeanette Wolf, 19 Aug 1843 in Burgdorf.d 22 Feb 1870 in Philadelphia PA Jeanette, b 11 Apr 1822 in Goslar. ] Her parents were Joel Wolf and Henriette Engle. Frederich and Jeanette converted to the Lutheran Church in 1844. They came to the United States in 1853.
Two children born in Germany: Albert Harry (b 1846) and Bertha (b 1852). One child was born in Baltimore: Charles W (b 1858).
The Rosenzweig name became Rossewig and Rosewig in the US. Julius became Frederick W Rosewig, and moved to Philadelphia. Janet (Jeannette) died in 1870. Julius/Fredrick married Harriet Prell (b 1844), who had two children from her previous marriage: Isiah (b 1867) and Isaac (b 1869).

Requirements
A Surname Project traces members of a family that share a common surname. They are of the most interest in cultures where surnames are passed on from father to son like the Y-Chromosome. This project is for males taking a Y-Chromosome DNA (Y-DNA) test. Thus, the individual who tests must be a male who wants to check his direct paternal line (father's father's father's...) with a Y-DNA12, Y-DNA37, Y-DNA67, or Y-DNA111 test and who has one of the surnames listed for the project. Females do not carry their father's Y-DNA. Females who would like to check their father's direct paternal line can have a male relative with his surname order a Y-DNA test. Females can also order an mtDNA test for themselves such as the mtDNAPlus test or the mtFullSequence test and participate in an mtDNA project. Both men and women may take our autosomal Family Finder test to discover recent relationships across all family lines.
