Five Generations Before Benedict Otteni
1676 - 1831
From the records available, it is calculated that five generations lived in Urloffen before Benedict Otteni emigrated to the United States. The earliest record on file shows that Johannes Otteni was born in Urloffen on 9 Apr 1681 and that his father was Hans Georg Otteni. In all probability, Hans Georg Otteni moved to Germany just five years before Johannes birth.
The local church records show Hans Georg had six children. They included:
