The Endingen Benitz family appear to have originated with Lorenz Bonitz. He was born 15 July, 1689, in Sankt Peter im Schwarzwald (Saint Peter in the Black Forest). He moved to Endingen before his first marriage in 1720.
The following tree of Lorenz’s ancestors was compiled by Ilona Amrein. She has done extensive research on him. It is very likely that he is our common ancestor, making us her distant cousins. We flag any information we have added to hers with its source (Caution: family trees are not original sources and their accuracy is unknown.):
