Carolina Leonhard's Ancestors A pedigree chart showing three generations of Carolina Leonhard's ancestors can be found here as a PDF file or a Word file. All available information on Carolina Leonhard's ancestors (including information on the descendants of siblings) can be found here. These files contain sources—listed as "Notes"—for most of the data. Read about and find the sources here. The names of places used in this data are their current modern names. For example, when Carolina Leonhard was born in Jettenbach, it was in the province of Rheinbayern in the Kingdom of Bavaria [Königreich Bayern]. Today it is in the German state of Rheinland-Pfalz, so these records show that Carolina was born in Jettenbach, Rheinland-Pfalz, Germany. Occasionally there is more than one place in a German state with the same name. In these cases the district [Kreis] name is added to avoid confusion. For example, Carolina's father Ludwig was born in Reichenbach. Today in the German state of Rheinland-Pfalz there are at least two places named Reichenbach, so the Kreis name of Kaiserslautern is added, so that these records show that Ludwig was baptized in Reichenbach, Kaiserslautern, Rheinland-Pfalz, Germany. All of these place names are consistent with the naming practices of Ancestry.com.
