Roling Family

This site mainly focuses on the families that came to eastern Iowa and the surrounding area. The Roling family came from the former Kreis Lingen (county lingen) from former the Kingdom of Hannover in modern day Germany, though they hardly came alone to the New World, one finds many of the their neighbors from Lingen also living as their neighbors in Iowa.

If you have any additional information, I am interested in everything, not just direct lines. Due the size of these families over the generations, it is rather easy to connect most people living in Jackson County, Iowa to at least one person (through marriage) in this datebase. Perhaps in time, this database will help to provide a detailed overview the pioneer days.

I have compiled this family information from many sources, I tried my best to always include the sources, but due to the massive size of this project, I wasn't always able to document everything as I would have liked. This information is still in draft stage--there are many typos, mismatched families, wrong dates ect. Please double check and send me any corrections.
