The progenitors of the Scholderer surname are mostly found in present

as far north as Denmark then south to Switzerland, west into parts of
Belgium, France and the Netherlands, and east into present day
Austria, Belarus, Hungary, Poland, Slovakia and the Ukraine. Of the
various branches that came to America, they predominantly arrived
starting in the early 19th century and continued to immigrate well

While typical a one-name study tries to trace every person worldwide
with a particular surname, we will slowly be adding new family groups
as new documentation is uncovered. This sites' primary focus will be
to deliver the highest quality family website incorporating
established standards of research and presentation by the professional
genealogical community. This will provide the descendants of the
families presented here with an accurate record of the various
families, while being enjoyable, educational and factual reading.
This site has been derived from various original and secondary sources
such as documents, books, census records, church records, interviews,
correspondence and websites from family members over the years. We
welcome any information or stories that might be used for future
updates and would encourage all of you to submit any materials that
may be of interest no matter how small. We will then organize and make
all of the information available that has been collected on these
various Scholderer families and their descendants via this site.
Typically we will incorporate these updates on a few times a year,
please visit us often to view our progress. The most recent changes
are always listed here.
If your family is already shown here, please consider sending us an e-mail, correcting any mistakes as well as
any updates that would be helpful to our research. We also like to
hear about things that we are doing well or could be doing better on
this web site. We will accept any and all suggestions and incorporate
them as long as they benefit the research and study’s main focus.

web site guidelines of the
