Why the Pittsburgh Region? ~
Southwestern
Pennsylvania and Pittsburgh are the epicenter of our clan's growth and development in the
United States of America following the American Revolution. In 1791, patriot and
war veteran Jacob and
Maria (Nein) Minerd Sr. settled there near Maple Summit on the mountainous
border of Fayette and Somerset Counties. They produced a dozen children, who in turn
spawned
87 grandchildren, 469 great-grandchildren and 1,344 great-great grandchildren,
for a total of 1,912 lives, virtually all born before the year 1900. Today, their
descendants and spouses number an estimated 50,000 or more, scattered
all over the world. Regardless of your homeplace today, your roots
are here.

Maria (Nein) Minerd Sr. farm, straddling Springfield and Stewart Townships, on the mountaintop border of Fayette and Somerset Counties, PA, dating to 1791, from whence their dozen children scattered far and wide into Pennsylvania, Ohio and West Virginia. This historic site is about 60 miles from Pittsburgh as the crow flies. |
