The
original family-tree is in the possession of the family Unterkircher.
Already
in the year of 1510, the first Unterkirchers has been mentioned in the
baptist- and death-records of the priest-office in Weitental (village
name) in the Puster-Valley in Tirol (today South-Tyrol). His name was
Urbanus Unterkircher. Surely, there must be more records from even
earlier dates from the Unterkirchers who were residing in this valley.
But from this
record, the family-tree track starts.
Due
to the multitude of children, there were back then and afterwards, many
had to move away, as the farm-house only had enough room for one or two
families.
In Weitental, there were 2 tribes carrying the same name of Unterkircher,
which originated by 2 brothers. One tribe was called the „Walder“
and the other tribe, the „Kofler“. My tribe is the „Walder“, and
this tribe is the one, I am especially concentrated in. From all my
extensive travels and visits, I almost visited every branch of the
Unterkircher.

Around
the year 1850, there was a huge emigration-wave in Europe to
the
USA, and many Unterkirchers
left their native-homes, too. On a seperate page I will list up
all the information of the emigration of the Unterkircher. On my
many travels to the USA, I gathered extensive information of the
Unterkircher in the USA as well.
Unterkircher
Families also live in Heidelberg, Stuttgart Area, Munich,
Nuremberg and a few other areas in Germany. In Austria, many
live in Kärnten, who came from the Puster-Valley around the
turn of the century
and reside along the Drau-River. There are tribes in St. Andrä
in the Lavant-Valley of Franz Unterkircher, as well as in Lavamündt,
where some emigrated to the Stuttgart Area, and in Sirnitz. His
descendant ANTON,
born
on 08 November 1911, remained in Heidelberg after 2nd
World War.
Also in the capital of Tyrol, there are a few more Unterkircher
residing.

Also
the Unterkirchers were suffered by sickness and death, i.e. at the same
time in November 1918, Rosalia, wife of Peter Unterkircher, only
31
years of age (my grandmother), died on 2 November. Their daughter
Maria,
10 years of age died on 6 November, all of them residing in Meransen.
And on 31 October 1918 in the distanced Sirnitz in Kärnten,
Vinzenz,
only 6 years of age, died. And all of them died from the
„Spanish
Flue“.

JOHANN,
born in the year of 1645 had a son, named PETER born
on
27 June 1704, and his son KASPAR, born on 03 January 1739 leaded
the „Kircher“-tribe, and of another son of Peter, named JOHANN, born
on
02
May 1725, the tribe to the Heidelberg (Sirnitz) and also from the tribe
in Kärnten originated.
(St.
Andrä). This is how the „Kircher“ continued. After Kaspar, there
was his son ANTON, born on 17 January 1776, and there is only one son
recorded with the name JAKOB, born on 13 July 1811. This Jakob is a very
interesting person, and it took me exensive efforts to gather
information.
Of
him, the whole tribe to the „Putzer“ in Schabs originated (son
Thomas, born on 21 December 1844) and of this tribe I will make a
separate page
as
well.

Accidentally,
I discovered a second marriage of JAKOB. After his wife had
died,
he re-married Maria Mauerlechner of Pfunders, who died on
18
April 1911 in Innsbruck Hötting. From
this marriage, there were 2 sons.
Anton,
born on 02 June 1881, baker and never has been married and Rudolf, born
on 17 April 1878 in Schabs, butcher
in Hötting. From this marriage with Johanna Juliane Kuen, there were 5
children who emigrated
to
Munich. Some remained in Innsbruck. More details and information of an
separate made up family-tree by me, will be on a separate page listed.
(Page:
Tribe „Putzer“)
From
the first marriage of JAKOB, who carried the house-name „Kircher“
with Gertraud Firler, there were 8 children. THOMAS, born on 21 December
1844
married Maria Putzer, who carried the house name „Putzer“. More
information are listed later (Page: Tribe „Putzer“).
From
ALOIS, born 09 September 1854, JOSEF, born on 29 August 1852,
JOHANN,
born on 07 February 1848 individual tribes arised.
PETER, born on 27 June 1846 leaded the „Kircher“-tribe further. From
the
marriage
with Maria Stubenruß (06 February 1872) came 14 children,
9
daughters and 5 sons.
