About the Family‘s History
Another
bearer
of
the
family
name
ZWIRTZ
is
also
documented
before
1800
in
today‘s
Belgium.
A
memorial
in
the
church
of
Habay-La-Neuve
proclaims
the
marriage
in
the
17th
Century
of
a
Jean
ZWIRTZ,
owner
of
the
furnaces
in
Luxeroth
in
the
Province
of
Luxembourg,
with
a
Marye
d´EVERLANGE.
In
Luxembourg,
various
certificates
of
landownership
in
the
dominion
of
Sassenheim
document
the
existence
of
a
Johannes
ZWIRTZ
,
living
in
Sassenheim
in
1766
and
holding
multiple
buildings,
including
a
barn
and stables, as well as a garden and farmland in fief.
Another
source
mentions
most
likely
the
very
same
Joannes
ZWIRTZ,
who,
on
2
September
1770
in
the
former
town
of
Sanem
(Luxem-
bourgish:
Suessem
,
today:
Sassenheim
)
becomes
the
godfather
of
a
Jean
KREMER
.
If
those
individuals
refered
to
above
are
related
to
the
ZWIR
T
Z
families
in focus and if they had decendants, could not yet been proven.
