Family history Family history
|
|||||||
|
Only two generations of this family line have been
identified. The direct descendents
are my 9th great-grandfather Bonifazius Haug born around 1565, and
his daughter Anna Haug (my 8th great-grandmother). Anna was a product of Bonifazius’s second
marriage to a woman named Susanna.
This family apparently lived in that part of Germany
known today as Baden-Wurttemberg. The exact date and location of
Bonifazius’s birth is not known but it is most probable that he spent most if
not all of his life in or near the towns of Oberacker, and Michelfeld. Anna who married Hans Katterman of
Michelfeld around 1632 gave birth to two known children before she passed
away in 1638. |

Origins of the
surname
|
||||||||
|
|
||||||||
|
|
||||||||
|
Research into the record of this Haug family
line indicates that the meaning and history of this surname is most likely
linked to that area of Europe where the German* language is commonly spoken.
|
||||||||
|
|
||||||||
|
Meaning of the Name Haug comes from the Germanic
personal name Hugo which is in origin a short form of any of the
various Germanic compound names with the first element hug ‘heart’,
‘mind’, ‘spirit’. This surname is
comparable to Hauck
which is also a from a dialect variant of the Germanic
personal name Hugo. |
||||||||
|
|
||||||||
|
History of the Name This early surname recorded in over seventy forms ranging from Hugh, Hew, Hauch, to Hugett, Hugonneau, and Ughini, is of pre 7th
century German origins. The first
spelling was as the given name "Hugo" meaning "heart or
mind", and as such this spelling appears in the famous English Domesday
Book of the year 1086. Perhaps not
surprisingly given a meaning of heart or mind, the personal name was highly
popular, and by the 12th century was to be found in almost every European
country. The use of Haug as a German name is initially
found in Bavaria, Germany where it was anciently associated with the tribal
conflicts of the area. |

Early Immigrants to North
America During the
17th, 18th and 19th centuries hundreds of
thousands of Europeans made the perilous ocean voyage to North America. For many it was an escape from economic
hardship and religious persecution.
For most it was an opportunity for to start over, own their own land,
and make a better future for their descendents. Immigration records show a
number of people bearing the name of Haug, or one of
its variants, as arriving in North America between the 17th and 20th
centuries. Some early known settlers of this family
name or some of its variants were:
Anna Elisabetha Hauck,
who settled in New York in 1710; Richard Hauge, who settled in Virginia in 1713; Jacob Hauge,
who came to Philadelphia in 1732. |

* German Surname Meanings
& Origins Many German names have their roots in the
Germanic middle ages. The process of forming family names began around the
year 1100 and extended through 1600. All social classes and demographic
strata aided in the development of names. First Names (Rufnamen) identified
specific persons. Over time the first name began to be applied to the
bearer's whole family. At first through verbal usage, family names
(Familiennamen) were later fixed through writing. Until the 17th century,
first names played a more important role. The earliest family names derived
from the first name of the first bearer (Patronym). Later names derived from
the place of dwelling and location of the homestead. If a person of family
migrated from one place to another they were identified by the place they
came from. Of more recent origin are names derived from the vocation of
profession of the first bearer. These names comprise the largest group and
the most easily recognizable, for they tell what the first bearer did for a
living. Another group are names derived from a physical or other
characteristic of the first bearer. Finally, there are names that tell you
the state or region a first bearer and his family came from; the age old
division in tribes and regions (low German, middle German and upper German)
is often reflected in names. |

Variations
of the surname
|
|
||||||
|
Throughout the
centuries, surnames in every country have continued to unfold and expand
often leading to an overwhelming number of variants. As such one can encounter great variation in the spelling of surnames
because in early times, spelling in general and thus the spelling of names
was not yet standardized. Later on
spellings would change with the branching and movement of families. Spelling
variations of this family name include: Haug, Hauge, Hauger, Haugen, Hauegern, Haugk, Hauhken, Haugoumar, Haugman, Haugwitz,
and many others. |
||||||||
|
|
||||||||
|
The complexity of researching records is compounded by the fact that in many cases an ancestors surname may also have been misspelled. This is especially true when searching census documents. The Soundex system was developed in an effort to assist with identifying spelling variations for a given surname. Soundex is a method of indexing names in the 1880, 1900, 1910, and 1920 US Census, and can aid genealogists in their research. The Soundex Code for Haug is H200. Other surnames sharing this Soundex Code: HAACK | HAAG | HAAKE | HAAS | HAASE | HACK | HAGA | HAGEY | HAGUE | HAGY | HAIG | HAKE | HASH | HASS | HAUCK | HAUG | HAUGH | HAUK | HAUS | HAUSE | HAWES | HAWK | HAWKE | HAWKS | HAWS | HAWSE | HAYES | HAYS | HECK | HEGGIE | HEISE | HESCH | HESS | HESSE | HEUS | HEWES | HICKEY | HICKS | HIGGS | HIGH | HISE | HIX | HOAG | HOCH | HOCK | HOGE | HOGG | HOGGE | HOGUE | HOKE | HOOK | HOOKS | HOSEY | HOSS | HOUCK | HOUGH | HOUK | HOUSE | HOUSH | HOUX | HOWES | HOWSE | HOXIE | HUCK | HUCKS | HUG | HUGG | HUGHEY | HUGO | HUSK | HUSKEY | HUSKIE | HUSS | HUSSEY | HUX . |

The documents and headstones contained within the “Source Documents
Archives” have been located during my research of this family, and used as evidence to prove many of the
facts contained within the database of this family’s record. Most of these documents can be considered as
primary or secondary evidence. Primary
evidence is usually defined as the best available to
prove the fact in question, usually in an original document or record. Secondary evidence is in
essence all that evidence which is inferior in its origin to primary
evidence. That does not mean secondary evidence is always in error, but there
is a greater chance of error.
Examples of this type of evidence would be a copy of an original record,
or oral testimony of a record’s contents.
Published genealogies and family histories are also secondary
evidence. Classifying evidence as either primary or
secondary does not tell anything about its accuracy or ultimate value. This is especially true of secondary
evidence. Thus it is always a good
idea to ask the following questions: (1) How far removed from the original is
it, (when it is a copy)?; (2) What
was the reason for the creation of the source which contains this evidence?;
and (3) Who was responsible for creating this secondary evidence and what
interest did they have in its accuracy? SOURCE: Greenwood, Val D., The Researcher’s Guide
