Puterbaugh/Puderbaugh
David Puderbaugh
run into a dead end with the immigrant who first came to America in
1752. His name was George Puterbaugh and he was accompanied by his
older brother, who signed his name "Johan Petter Puttenbach". It
seems the older brother's name changed and he was known later as John
Peter Butterbaugh or Peter Butterbaugh Sr. Has anyone ever come
across the name "Puterbaugh" or my name, "Puderbaugh", in Germany? I
would be very appreciative of any help I receive.
Thanks,
David

If the part before the "baugh" looks German (you can check it in some
dictionary....)
then chances are, it had come over to the USA as "bauch" (= belly)
originally.

Putenbach also would be a perfect German surname

Example: by Laasphe and Selters/Hessen.
This is the only closely related spelling mentioned in Bahlow's
"Name encyclopedia".

Have tried all possible variations of your name in the German online
telephone register. The closest matches were "PUDERBACH" and "BUTTERBACH".
There are 273 PUDERBACH'S and 139 BUTTERBACH'S in Germany today. Nothing
with "..........BAUCH" or "PUTER.........." or "PUTTER..........".
If your ancestor came from Germany, "PUDERBACH" might have been his name,
although the forename "Johan Petter" is quite common in Scandinavia. I
think it's worth to ask in the newsgroup "soc.genealogy.nordic" about your
lastname.

A very similar question appeared on this group mid-August last year:

You should contact Geoff (perhaps a distant cousin?) about further
results he might have got then. You are obviously looking for the same
persons.

The original German spelling of this name is PUDERBACH,
which is a town in the Westerwald area (east of Bonn).
The 1752 emigrant Johann Peter PUDERBACH is being listed
in Hank Jones' book "More Palatines" as coming from
Niederraden or Oberraden. As he was only 13 years old
in 1749, he might not be the brother of your ancestor ?
More PUDERBACH emigrants are also listed in Hank's earlier
book, "Westerwald to America".
If research into the churchbooks is desired, we are at
your hand.
