I chose to begin this thread with Friederich August Ronstadt as that is where the most traceable Ronstadt family lines begin. It is interesting to note that in Germany before 1500 most people didn't have surnames. After this date most surnames began to take shape. This comes from my own experience searching my family lines.
My own paternal family line/ancestors lived just down river from the Ronstadt family in Germany during the same time period before both emigrated. Mine however landed in Virginia one hundred years earlier (1717) while Linda's later sailed to Mexico. (I am going cross-eyed trying to figure this stuff out)
In German, "stadt" means town or city. I am not certain of the term "ron" as it could be a persons name or even a derivative of the term "iron." (as in the metal) although Linda did once say in an interview she liked to iron lol. It could also be a blacksmith term or knockoff. Linda did record a little known song called "The Blacksmith." (great song by the way)
Friederich August Ronstadt
1816 : Birth - Germany
before 1848 : Marriage (with Conchita Concepccion Quiroga)
1862 : Marriage (with Margarita Redondo Y Vasquez) - Altar, Sonora, Mexico
9 March 1889 : Death - Tucson, Pima Co., AZ
