The names of these cousins are listed in alphabetical order, with links to their biographies.

Other families profiled extensively on this website include Jacob's brother Friedrich Meinert Jr. (Meinder) -- sister Maria Elizabeth (Meinert) Gaumer (12 children, 40+ grandchildren and 160+ great-grandchildren and 600 great-great-grandchildren) -- and the kissin' cousin Younkin-Younken-Youngkin family originating with immigrants Johann "Heinrich" and Catharina (Scherer) Junghen of Niederasphe, Germany & Bucks County, PA (10 known children, 33 known grandchildren, 201+ great-grandchildren and 913+ great-great grandchildren).
