Communication Preferences:
I am interested in communicating with
anyone who shares the same genealogical or historical interests.
Here is my family tree.
Descendant of Kaspar Kantz. Kaspar Kantz was the reformer of the free imperial city of Nördlingen.
Descendant of Christoph Spindler. Spindler was superintendent of the German and Slovenian Protestant Church in Laibach.
Descendant of Johannes Vesenbeck. Vesenbeck was superintendent of the free imperial city of Ulm shortly after the Reformation.
Descendant of Johann Rümelin. Rümelin was a physician and mathematician.
Descendant of Georg Wölfflin. Wölfflin was a kind of martyr of the 30 Years War.
Of course I would like to complete my ancestry as far as the sources indicate. Most of my ancestors are from Württemberg and I'm already very far with the evaluation of the church registers.

But there are a few immigrants from Switzerland, Austria, Sweden and neighboring countries to the east (Silesia, Bohemia) where I still have difficulties because I have not yet found any useful sources.
I am interested in everyone who goes by the name Kiedaisch. All lines that I have examined so far can be connected to my family tree and go back to the oldest known Kiedaisch in Weilheim / Teck. But there are many emigrants to the USA, and I probably don't know all of them yet. Since the name Kiedaisch seems to be difficult, some of them have been renamed to Keydash and the like.
Notables
Friedemann Kiedaisch is related to US President Barack Obama. Here is the trail.
I research ancestral communities with notable personalities. Naturally, these are mainly Germans and especially Swabian people, but there are a few exotic (from my European point of view), e.g. Barack Obama.
(Ah! Now there are new stickers for these relationships. But I don't want to rebuild the table:)
Genealogy isn't my only hobby. And I find it exciting when I can establish cross-references between different subject areas.
Since I also play the organ, it is very interesting to me to see which organ builders and composers I am related to. Then I can play music composed by a relative on an instrument that was built by a relative.
Some of them are only known locally and do not meet the "notable" criterion:
I've done DNA tests at various companies and follow my matches on all major platforms. Unfortunately, this tool is not yet widely used in Germany, so I have only had a few closely related matches so far.
I would be very interested to know if there are any male Kiedaisch who have taken a Y-DNA test.
Maternal relationship is confirmed by a MyHeritageDNA test match between Friedemann Kiedaisch and his 1st cousin twice removed RM. Their most-recent common ancestor is Karl Christian Wohlfarth, the 2nd great grandfather of Friedemann Kiedaisch and the grandfather of RM. He was married twice. The two women are not a common ancestor. Predicted relationship from MyHeritage: 1st cousin twice removed to 2nd cousin once removed, based on sharing 219.5 cM across 7 segments.
Pedigree collapse (Implex)
Descendant of Conrad Barner. He was the first protestant pastor in Owen/Teck. He is my ancestor 12 times.
Most of my ancestors were not very mobile and married locally or in the immediate vicinity. Relatives marriages regularly occurred. I am descended from some of my ancestors on 14 different trails. I am interested in the statistical and mathematical effects on inheritance that such multiple ancestors have. But also the practical question of how to present something like this clearly.
Friedemann Kiedaisch ist ein Mitglied des Deutschland-Projekts (Germany Project).
Friedemann Kiedaisch participated with Germany Genies during the 2021 Connect-a-Thon, and added 492 connections.
Friedemann Kiedaisch participated with Germany Genies during the January 2022 Connect-a-Thon, and added 632 connections.
Friedemann Kiedaisch participated with Germany Genies during the April 2022 Connect-a-Thon, and added 685 connections.
Friedemann Kiedaisch participated with Germany Genies during the January 2023 Connect-a-Thon, and added 394 connections.
Friedemann Kiedaisch participated with Germany Genies during the July 2023 Connect-a-Thon, and added 164 connections.
Collaboration on WikiTree
Projects
In line with the origin of my ancestors and my research interests, I am involved in the Germany project and the Notables project. I am also the coordinator of the Kiedaisch Name Study.
I initiated free-space pages:
Another version of my family tree can be found on GedBas. This is a Database hosted by Verein für Computergenealogie.
Because people living are not displayed at all, not even as placeholders, you have to go to my grandparents:
In Germany, as a country of associations, there is also a large number of genealogical societies. A (probably incomplete) overview is available at Portal Vereine.
I am a member of the Verein für Familienkunde in Baden-Württemberg (Presentation on Wikitree), which covers the historical region where most of my ancestors come from.
it's annual check-in time 2023. If you still wish to remain a member of the Germany Project, please reply to this post, by stating this intention. If we don’t hear from you in the next 30 days, your membership badge will be removed. In this case please don't be offended ... you're welcome to rejoin at any time. Please also note, that in order to receive help, with researching your German ancestors, membership is not mandatory. Just ask your questions in the G2G forum and tag them with Germany in order for knowledgeable people to see them.
If you wish to remain a member, we would like to learn more about your perception of the Germany Project in order to achieve a future development according to our members needs and wishes. For this, we created a survey, which we kindly ask you to fill-in.
In case you want to communicate, discuss and receive help about WikiTree in German, you might want to check out the WikiTree category at Compgen’s Discourse as well as the German Discord server Ahnenforschung.
Of course there’s still the official WikiTree Discord server, where we usually talk English. Feel free to learn more about Discord and the server at Help:Discord.
Hi Friedemann! Thank you for joining the Germany Genies for the April Connect-a-Thon. As a team, we created 5,602 new profiles, coming in 4th place overall and 1st place by normalized (average) score! We couldn't have done it without you and your 685 contributions! WOW! Congratulations on being in the top 3 finishers on the team. Best regards, Traci
Thank you for contributing to the March 2022 Sourcerers Challenge! As you know, every source added to an unsourced profile improves our One Tree. Thank you for taking time from your own family history to help others.

It's Thon time again! The Source-a-Thon will be held from 1-4 Oct 2021 and the last day to register is 29 Sept. Do you want to participate with the Germany Genies again in this Thon? We could use your help sourcing German profiles (or any other profiles you'd like to source). Use this link to get to the G2G sign up post. Click the "answer" link at the bottom of the post and, when the answer box pops up, mention that you want to be on the Germany Genies team.
I am sorry, unfortunately I cannot take part this weekend. But I'm already collecting todo lists and hopefully I can support the Germany Genies again next time.
Thanks for participating with the Germany Genies during this weekend's Connect-a-Thon. It was a lot of fun working together to expand our shared tree. Your hard work is appreciated and I hope you'll join our team again!

It is important to remember to cite reliable sources in pre-1700 profiles that you manage or edit. (See: Pre-1700 Reliable Sources).
Thank you for adding a GEDCOM. The GEDCOM does not automatically populate your tree. It generates a GEDCOMpare report which you work through, either accepting or rejecting all suggested matches. Once that has been done, you should see [add] buttons for each of the remaining names.
The GEDCOMpare process guide has tips on how to use the data in your file most efficiently.
For those using Chrome, Opera, or Firefox browsers, there is a tool that can help with the formatting of profiles which have been created through GEDCOM, so that you can concentrate on the research. You can read more about it in the WikiTree AGC FAQ.
