Welcome to Greathouse Point...
Greathouse Point, home of the Greathouse Historical Center and Guild Greathouse are devoted to the study of Greathouse family genealogy, history and surname, including, but not limited to, those descending from Herman Groethausen, who immigrated to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania about 1710 from Bielefeld, Ravensberg, Brandenburg, Prussia. Herman is the first American Greathouse whom we can trace. More research is needed to accurately document his descendants and their associated families. The goals of the guild are to report documented genealogies, to develop well-researched family histories, and to correct misinformation for Greathouse families across America. Guild members include Greathouse researchers who exchange information and share their research through the guild's website, Greathouse Point, our mailing list, or the Guild Greathouse Forum. By joining in research and sharing your work, you become a member of the guild. The guild also exchanges research with groups and individuals from the European countries of Finland, Germany, Italy, Netherlands and Sweden. We have established contact with the group, Families von Grotthuss and von Grothusen of Germany, and others, hoping to discover more information about Herman's family roots in Bielefeld, Germany. Through our website, you can search the extensive database, library of documents and our Greathouse County Project, a collection of records for Greathouse kith and kin, indexed by state and county. You can interact in our guild forum and sign up for our mailing list. We also sponsor the Greathouse Surname DNA Project and are seeking male participants. Members of Guild Greathouse have been leading the search for Greathouse family roots since 1996, but we need your help. We welcome all researchers, new and veteran, interested in Greathouse research as we continue our journey. Join Us?
