George Michael Brenneisen was born at Lohrbach, Ansbach, Bayern, Germany. He was the son of Hans John George Brenneisen (1660 – 1723) and Ann Ursula Brenneisen (1660 –).
George married Anna Margaretha Klein (1684-1761) at Hilspach in Germany on Nov. 23, 1723. Anna was the daughter of Johann Peter Klein (1658 – 1714) and Anna Elisabetha Klein.
George and Anna were the parents of the following known children: Anna Maria Brenneisen (1727 – 1775); Johann (John Jacobson) Brenneisen (1729 – 1778); Gottfried Brenneisen and Maria Barbara Brenneisen.
Nestled in the hills of southwestern Pennsylvania, on the northern edge of Westmoreland County, lies the small village of Brenizer. Although approximately 175 families live here at the present time, this was not always a village. In the 1800's, this area was owned by the Breniser family and used as a farmland, but hidden under this land was a rich treasure of coal.
When the mining days began, the town was slowly built up to be one of the nicest mining towns in this area. We have traced some of the ancestors of the original Breniser family to Germany, where some descendants still live. The name Breniser comes from the name Brennelsen, which means: Bren (Burn) Eisen (Iron).
Through the years, the Breniser name has been spelled many different ways. Hans Veltin (John Valentine) and Gorge Michel (George Michael) Brenneisen arrived in Philadelphia in September of 1730 on the ship named Alexander and Ann. Their records, including taking the Oath of Allegiance to King George III, are documented in the Pennsylvania Archives and also in Daniel Rupp's list of German passengers, which is considered to be a classic in the documentation of German immigrants.
The two immigrants came from the Palatinate; that region of the Neckar Valley, southeast of Heidelberg, is now in the state of Baden-Wurrtenberg. This particular branch of the family, according to Wilhelm Brenneisen, the present day family historian in Germany, came from Lohrbach. Before immigrating, they worked on a large farm as day laborers. The name of the farm and village, still existing today, is called the Damnhof. John Valentine Brenneisen had several children when he arrived in the United States in 1730, and he had more children after he settled here. George Michael seems to have disappeared from sight soon after he arrived, since nothing more has been discovered about him.
