Mennonite HUNSICKER Family of Switzerland & Pennsylvania Mennonite Ships Passenger Lists Mennonites to Canada Mennonite Family Trees Historical Mennonite Overview Mennonite Mailing Lists Dictionary & Definitions Links Olive Tree Library Mennonite Resources & Addresses Mennonite Books The Hunsaker Family of Switzerland Variations on the Hunsaker surname are: Hunsicker, Hunsecker, Hunsicker, Hunsiker, Hunziger, Huntzinger and Hunsucker. Supposedly, the name derives from the origins of Valentine Hunsicker, in the centre of the Schwartzwald (the German Black Forest), about 70 miles north of Zurich where there is found a district which bears names from the time of Attila the Hun, in Hunstruck, Hunstruecker, Hunsbach, and in the center of the valley, Hunseck (Huns' Valley). It is believed that the name Hunsecker came from this valley and possibly this is the origin of the family. Your Name in History Hunsicker Genealogy Part of the Our Name in History Series!

The book is just one of an entire series of family name books in the Our Name in History collection. My earliest known Hunsaker ancestor is my 9th great-grandfather, Hans Heinrich, born 1655 in Switzerland. His son Johannes Jacob, born 1675 in Bassel Switzerland, married Margretha Buss and their son, Hartman Hunsaker born ca 1704 ( my 7th great-grandfather), appears to be the first Hunsaker in America, arriving in Philadelphia Pennsylvania in 1731 on the ship Pennsylvania Merchant with his wife, Anna Stirtz and six children. It is believed Hartman was from Aarau in the Canton of Aargau, Switzerland, and that he fled via the Palatinate, Netherlands and England, before arriving in Pennsylvania. "Hartman Huntseker" arrived 10 Sep 1731 on the Pennsylvania Merchant, loaded with palatine passengers from Rotterdam, John Stedman, Commander. Anna, Frena and Eliz. Huntseker, all over age 16, were also on the ship, as were some under age 16: Anna, Ursul, Meyer and Hannes Huntseker.
