William
& Josephine Benitz
Generation #1 for ALL with Argentine-born Benitz ancestors
Wilhelm Böniz (1815-1876) and Josefa Kolmerer (1830-1912) are the original ancestors of all Benitz born in Argentina. Both emigrated from Endingen, in Baden, WB to Texas (1832) then California (1842), JK to North Carolina (1833) then California (1845). They married (1846) and lived at Fort Ross and later (1867) Oakland; in 1874 they immigrated to Argentina and established estancia "La California", in Santa Fé.
