Zwar Family Tree
A family tree starting from six Zwar siblings from Drehsa, Saxony
Johann and Anna Zwahr, nee Hennersdorf, married in 1812 and had eleven children, six of whom grew to adulthood. This website is primarily concerned with tracing the families of these six children. The six are represented by the letters A – F, from oldest to youngest, and each has also been assigned a colour to show which part of the tree future descendants belong to.
Grandparents
Their grandparents were Peter Zwahr who married Maria Mickan in 1773.
Great-grandparents
Their great-grandparents can be traced back 300 years to Martin (b. circa 1712) and Maria Zwahr (d. 1782).
Six Family Trees – a work in progress!

Andreas was the oldest son who remained in Saxony but his son, Ernst, emigrated to Australia in 1880.
