Find Your Branch
There are four distinct Weedman families in the United States with other Weedman families found in Australia, Canada, England, South Africa and Zimbabwe.
Christian Weedman, Sr.
Christian Weedman, Senior (Christian Widmann) was born in 1735 and arrived in Pennsylvania in 1749. He settled in what is now York County, Pennsylvania and is the progenitor of the largest Weedman family line in the United States.
Swedish roots
A second family line traces to Swedish roots and early arrivals in the American colonies. Their descendants established branches across the Northeast and Midwest as the country grew.
Florida and German line
A Florida Weedman family line is believed to have German roots. Family researchers continue to collect records and connect descendants to earlier generations.
Delaware line
The Delaware Weedman family represents another distinct branch. Documents, family stories, and shared research are helping descendants better understand this line.
