William & Josephine — Family Page last modified:

William & Josephine Benitz
Descendant Trees

With the growing concern over electronic privacy and “identity theft”, we have reluctantly pruned living members from the Wilhelm Böniz & Josefa Kollmerer family tree.

Family members:
♥ Before Josephine Kolmer arrived at Fort Ross (late 1845), Wilhelm is reputed to have fathered two daughters with Kashaya or Kashaya-Russian mothers: Mary Bennett (married: Salvador) and Helena.
♥ For a slightly more informative tree, please see the password protected Current Events pages.  [ When prompted, enter your ID & password; in the new menu, select “Family Trees” ]
♥ We use the name by which each person was known within the family, usually in English.  For those born in Argentina, their legal names are, with some exceptions, the close equivalent in Spanish.
♥ The marriage dates listed are the dates celebrated within the family, typically a religious ceremony.  In Argentina, the legal date of marriage is of the civil wedding performed by a judge some days before the religious celebration.
♥ Please keep us informed of all Arrivals, Connections, & Departures — thank you!
♥ We will reply to inquiries regarding membership in the tree; however, we keep the detailed master off-line and will make it available upon request, but only to direct descendants of William & Josephine.  Please direct all inquiries to:  In hiding!
