Gordon & Durrenberger Family History
A Transatlantic Family History
This website documents the family history of Sandy Gordon originally from Little Falls, Minnesota and now living on the Olympic Peninsula of Washington — tracing two family lines from Europe to Minnesota.
The paternal Gordon line originates in Kirkcudbrightshire, Scotland, descending from Samuel Gordon of Dromore farm, Kirkmabreck Parish, born about 1740.
The maternal Dürrenberger line originates in Primisweiler, Allgäu, Württemberg, Germany, descending from Martin Dürrenberger, born about 1695.
Members of both families emigrated to Minnesota, USA, where their lines eventually merged. The site currently documents 15,280 people across both families and their many connections.
