Jean Pierre Vitter (vitter@wanadoo.fr) in Les Issambres, France (near St. Tropez) has compiled two wonderful histories en français of Vitter Family genealogy (but easily translated, e.g., using Google Translate). They are available online at https://vitter.org/Genealogy/Documents/JeanPierreVitterBook.pdf and https://vitter.org/Genealogy/Documents/JeanPierreVitterBook2.pdf. The first is called "A tous les Vitter du Monde." He traces Hérard Vitter, before his move to Clerval, France in the 1700s, back to either the Souabe (Schwaben) area, just to the north of Schaffhouse in Switzerland, or to north of the Rhine in Germany. The big question that remained was exactly where Hérard came from. Jean-Pierre has separately told me of a family legend of two brothers who came to France. One stayed (conceivably Hérard), and the other went to Galapagos. Jean Pierre Vitter put together a second manuscript in December 2019 entitled "Le sang qui coule dans nos veines," in which he disclosed that the actual place Hérard came from was Bietingen (near Gottmadingen), Germany, near the Swiss border just north of the Rhine, as detailed further below. And the name of the family in Germany was Wider. Through Jean-Pierre's research, we have now discovered hundreds of Wider relatives (and even connections going back to Pépin le Bref and Charlemagne!).

There are well over one hundred other Vitters in France who are descendants from a line of Vitters living in the Ardennes region in France. They are rumored to be related to the Vitters of Clerval, according to family legends, but no one has yet discovered the link. Jean Pierre Vitter's discovery in 2019 that the ancestors of Hérard Vitter were named Wider in Bietingen, Germany suggests that the Ardennes lines of Vitters are perhaps not related to the Vitters of Clerval. Only some of the Vitter family from Ardennes are included in this family tree. However, you can find them on the web at http://gw.geneanet.org/mickrix1 or by contacting Michel Vitter, mick.rix@wanadoo.fr. (Note: Michel Vitter passed away circa 2011.)

From Hérard's act of marriage:
Mathieu et Ursule JAKUELIN sont domiciliés dans la commune de Sieclen (Bueclen) canton de Schaffouse.

From his marriage act:
« Biethiruge, canton de Chafferesse, Suenchingen »

From his application for French citizenship:
« Süenchingen » Biethiruge, canton de Schaffhouse (Bade)

Acte de décès : Hérard est dit originaire d'Autriche. Pour l'Autriche il s’agit sans doute de « l'Autriche Antérieure »:

L'expression est souvent utilisée comme synonyme de "pays antérieurs habsbourgeois" pour désigner l'ensemble des possessions des Habsbourg à l'ouest de l'Arlberg et du col de Fern, y compris les territoires sis en Suisse, Souabe, Brisgau et Alsace, par opposition à leurs biens d'Autriche proprement dite, jusqu'au Tyrol y compris (Wikipedia).

There was no connection to the Kanton Schaffhausen in Switzerland. But Jean Pierre Vitter determined that the birthplace referred to the following nearby location in Germany: Bietingen (Gottmadingen).

Bietingen se situe à la frontière suisse, à mi-chemin entre les villes de
Schaffhouse et Singen (Hohentwiel). Le plus grand passage frontalier routier
entre l’Allemagne et la Suisse dans le cadre de la liaison Stuttgart-Zurich.
Environ 1100 m à l'ouest de l'église du village se trouvent dans une zone
forestière, les vestiges du complexe de haute montagne Kapf. Que ce soit un
château néolithique, un âge de bronze ou un château d'urnfeldfeldzeitzeitliche est
encore peu claire. Bietingen apparaît pour la première fois en 892 en tant que
villa quadicitur Puatinga dans un document. Les monastères St. Blasien dans la
Forêt-Noire et Rheinau avaient déjà leur terre à Bietingen. Une partie de celle-ci
a acquis la ville de Schaffhouse au 17ème siècle. Les seigneurs de Stoffeln furent,
du XIVe siècle jusqu'en 1579, huissiers de justice des monastères de Saint-
Blasien et de Petershausen, seigneurs de Bietingen, interrompus par un bref délai
de soutien au commandant de l'ordre teutonique à Mainau au XVIe siècle. De
1579 jusqu'à la médiatisation de 1806, Bietingen est tombé en héritage au
Hornsteiner. En 1806, le village vint d'abord dans le Wurtemberg, de 1810 à
Baden. En 1974, l'incorporation après Gottmadingen (Wikipedia).

Besides the Vitters who emigrated to New Orleans in the 1800s and spread from there, there are many Vitters listed elsewhere in the U.S. For example, in the 1930 census there are well over 200 Vitters listed all across the U.S. who are apparently not from Louisiana roots.

Some of the ones listed from Illinois include Harry Vitter (1881, born Illinois) and wife Mary Vitter (1883), Nonie Vitter (1876, born Germany) and daughter Marion Vitter (1902), Lloyd Vitter (1882, born Nebraska) and wife Sylvia Vitter (1881), Thomas Vitter (1864, born Illinois) and wife Marie Vitter (1870), Edwin H. Vitter (1892, born Illinois) and wife Rosalie Vitter (1892) and son Edwin J. Vitter (1929), Albert Vitter (1890, Born Illinois) and wife Coral Vitter (1890) and son Albert Vitter (1917), Harry Vitter (1899, born Illinois) and wife Josephine Vitter (1894) and son Harry Vitter (1927) and relative Charley Vitter (1897), Arthur C. Vitter (1893, born Illinois) and wife Mable O. Vitter (1891) and son Daniel A. Vitter (1928), Sylves G. Vitter (1903, born Illinois) and wife Dorothea L. Vitter (1905), Cosomo Vitter (1896, born Italy) and wife Lucia (1898) and daughters Carmela (1921) and Giuseppa (1927), Albert Vitter (1866, born Iowa) and wife Mary Vitter (1876) and daughters Elnora M. Vitter (1907) and Marie A. Vitter (1908).

There are even more Vitters listed in the states of New Jersey and New York, and lesser numbers listed in Alabana, Arkansas, California,, Colorado, Delaware, Georgia, Kentucky, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, Washington, and West Virginia. Among those, only John D. Vitter (1898) with wife Hazel A. Vitter (1904) is listed as born in Louisiana.

Le nom de WIDER a été francisé en VITTER par Hérard lors de son mariage le 11 novembre 1799. Il était depuis 6 mois à Clerval en provenance de Bietingen, commune Allemande frontalière du canton Suisse de Schaffhouse. La légende familiale dit qu'il était, avec son frère, en route pour les USA et qu'il a rencontré l'amour sur son chemin !

• Immigration: 29 Mar 1843, New Orleans, Orleans, Louisiana, USA; Ship Lyons from Le Havre, France

Notes:

Listed as Pierre Witter on birth certificate. A father listed as Pierre Vitter went with his family on the ship Lyon, which departed on 1/18/1843 from Le Havre to New Orleans, listed as arriving on 3/29/1843 in the Port of New Orleans. He and his family were from Clerval, département du Doubs, France. We found the passenger list of the boat on the web. The index of the arriving passengers at the Port of New Orleans, from National Archive Series M259-22, lists some extra passengers and some slightly different names. Pierre is listed as 38 years old. However, we have his birth record in France, which indicates that he was born in 1803, which would have made him 39.

There were 11 Vitters listed in the index of arriving passengers, but only nine listed on the ship's log. Some of their names and ages are not included in the index. So until the actual arriving passenger records are looked at, we won't know exactly who the extra Vitters are, if there are any. There is some uncertainty about whether Elize listed on the ship's log was the same person as Marie Louise, who was listed on the index of arriving passengers. Until we examine the actual records of arriving passengers, we won't know. They are currently assumed to be the same. However, that leaves two unknown Vitters in the arriving list who were not listed on the ship's log.

Notes:

It is hypothesized that Marie Louise Vitter is the same person as Elize Vitter, listed as 16 years old in the passenger list of the Lyon in January 1843. Maria Louisa is listed as 17 on the index of arriving passengers in New Orleans on 3/29/1943, National Archives Series No. M259-22. They would be of similar age. Elize did not appear on the arriving passenger list, but there were other entries whose first names were not clear. There were more entries of arriving passengers than there were on the ship's log, so that lends credence to Elize and Marie Louise being separate. It appears to be highly likely, because the birth records in France list the child's name as Marie Louise Vitter. Their birth years are the same, and Marie Louise Vitter was married to a Cathalongne, and the Cathalongne family was closely connected to Virginie Vitter, according to her obituary. The only difference is that she was listed as a resident of New Orleans for 67 years at the time of her death, which would have placed her arrival at 1840, but that's a very minor difference. Perhaps the trip on the Lyon wasn't their first trip to New Orleans from France, or more likely, there was a small error in calculating her date of arrival, or it was an approximation by her relatives. On several of the birth indexes of her children, she is listed as Marie Louise Viter.

There is also a death record of Elizabeth Vitter, who died at 65 years, 5 months on 1/26/1893, putting her year of birth likely in 1927, the same as Marie Louise. It is possible that she is a separate daughter of Pierre (Elize?), although her birth record was not uncovered in France. However, she is likely unrelated. Her death record of 1/26/1893 indicates that her name was probably Vetter, not Vitter, and that she was a native of Germany. She was the widow of William Ostermüller.

There were 11 Vitters listed in the index of arriving passengers, but only 9 listed on the ship's log. Some of their names and ages are not included in the index. So until the actual arriving passenger records are looked at, we won't know exactly who the extra Vitters are, if there are any.

Notes:

There are two entries in the Civil War Muster Rolls that might correspond to Auguste Vitter:
August Vitter, Company D, 19 Illinois Infantry, Private (unlikely since that would be a Yankee!)
A. Vitter, 10 Louisiana Infantry, Squadron Guides d'Orleans, Louisiana Militia, private (more likely).

The census records of 1880 apparently contain several typos. Some children are listed with the wrong age. For example, Arthur is listed as 5, but his N.O. birth record gives the date 3/25/1856, making him 23 or 24. Victor is listed as 10, but his N.O. birth record gives the date 8/11/1858, making him 11 or 12. There are no N.O. birth records for Charles (age 3), Violate (age 4), and Louisa (age 16, born in Switzerland according to census), Paul (age 7), and Eugène (age 19). Inclusion of those five children "fills the gap" in the impressive record of births by Marie Victoire, so it is conceivable that they are her children. It's also possible that she took a trip back to Switzerland, where Louisa may have been born. There is a birth record for son Pierre (born 1871), who could possibly be the same as the 7-year-old Paul in the census. Since the names Pierre and Paul tend to go together, and there is no other child born in 1871, it is assumed that they are separate children.

The funeral was at Spanish Fort in the New Orleans West End. Friends of the Vitter and Cathalongne families were invited. (Marie Louise Vitter married Jean V. Cathalongne.)

There are a couple questions that need to be answered. The main one is whether Auguste's son Auguste Valentin Vitter is the same August Vitter who married Jeanne Eugenia Bonaparte Tinney in St. Mary's Parish on 12/21/1889. From all the coincidences, it seems that it was the case. Granddaughter Monta Vitter McLean seems to think so too. If so, then that would provide one branch of the Vitter-Tinney link. The other Vitter-Tinney link seems secure, as there is a birth record of Lelia Hortense Vitter, born 11/8/1864, as the daughter of Auguste Vitter and Victoire Henzenlen. (The mother's name is spelled differently for almost each of her 15 or so children.) The obituary for Lelia in the Daily Picayue on 9/22/1897 says the funeral is at the home of her brother, August Jr., 2435 Bienville St., near Rocheblave, in New Orleans.

There are two August Vitters in the Social Security death records. One was born 1/26/1885, died 7/15/1966, SS #363-54-9376, issued before 1951 in Michigan. The other, who is hypothesized to be the son of Auguste (August) Valentin, was born 5/30/1896, died 8/1971, SS #210-03-3299, issued before 1951 in Pennsylvania. See the record of Auguste Valentin Vitter for more information, and also related information about his brother Raymond Percy Vitter.

Notes:

It is hypothesized that this is the same Georges Vitter (son of Pierre and Virginie and brother of Auguste) who was listed as 8 years old in January 1843 when coming over on the boat Lyon. That would mean that he was only 16 or 17 at marriage.

It is hypothesized that William H. Vitter is the son of George, since George lived in New Iberia, LA in 1850, which is close to Patterson in St. Mary's Parish, where William H. Vitter lived in 1920 according to the census.

Georges married Bridget Kavanagh on 11 Jul 1851. Bridget was born about 1826; died on 14 May 1897 in New Orleans, Orleans, Louisiana, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Marie Louise Cathalongne is the daughter of Marie Louise Vitter, who married into the Cathalongne family. Marie Louise Vitter was the sister of Auguste Vitter, who came over to New Orleans from Clerval, France in 1843. So there is a double connection between the Artigues family and the Vitter family, since Albert L. Vitter's wife was Marie Berthe Artigues.

When she was nearing death, Eran LeBlanc Artigues (widow of Maurice Artigues Sr.) left a note with her daughter Jo Mary Artigues that included information about her ancestors and Maurice's ancestors. In the note, she wrote that Maurice's parents were Louis Artigues and Marie Lalanne, and that his grandparents were Jean Artigues and Marie Louise Cathalongne. However, it appears from the detailed notes of Jean Jacques Artigues' daughter Blanche Johnson that Maurice's natural grandparents were instead Jean François Baptiste Artigues and Marie Josephe Soubiran, who stayed in France when Louis Jean Artigues and some of his brothers emigrated to New Orleans. It is supposed that when Louis Jean Artigues emigrated to the U.S. in 1900 he was taken in by Marie Louise Cathalongne (the widow of John, who was a first cousin of Jean François Baptiste Artigues), and for that reason Louis's children Maurice and Louise and their descendants thought of Marie Louise Cathalongne as the grandmother of Maurice.

Laresche; Third Justice of the Peace for hte Parish of Orleans, as has obtained from him a License to Marry Miss M arie Hofeline." "Auguste" is a typo, which should read "Alfred".

Notes:

Patty Whitney Gravois looked up in the the records of St. Mary Parish, Louisiana, that August Vitter married Jeanne Eugenia Tinney on 12/21/1889. It is assumed that August Vitter is the same as Auguste Valentin Vitter, son of Auguste Vitter and brother of Alfred N. Vitter. The marriage license should be checked to see whom is listed as the parents of the groom.

One slightly confusing thing is that the 1900 Louisiana Census lists August Vitter and wife Eugenia Vitter and family. However, the birthdate of August is listed as 8/1876, age 23. I'm supposing that it was a mistake and his actual birthday was 8/1866, which would make him the more reasonable age 33 (considering that he had an 8-year-old son).

The funeral of August Vitter, according to the Daily Picayune, 8/20/1909, was at his brother-in-law Hayden Wren's house, 715 Philip St. According to granddaughter Monta Vitter McLean, Auguste died by accidental drowning after jumping into the well to cool off. Her father August Charles Jr. (who was supposed to be Auguste's favorite) was a young boy of 13 at the time. The story is that he wasn't allowed to go to the funeral, so he ran after the hearse.

After Auguste's death, Eugénie Vitter remarried (to Murray Briggs) and moved to Fairview, Pennsylvania.[VitterFamily04jun16.FTW]

Other Events and Attributes:

Notes:

The last names in the 1880 census, appearing below the grandfather John Henzenhanch, are Louisa Vitter (age 16), Victor (10), Paul (7), and Eugene (19). There are typos, so it's not clear whether these are accurate. Victor's birth record shows that he was born in 1865. There are no New Orleans birth records for the other four, which may mean they were born elsewhere. Louisa's birthplace in the census is listed as Switzerland, which may not be accurate. Pierre's name does not appear in the census at all. There is a chance that Pierre is the same as the Paul in the census, but given Auguste and Marie Victoire's productivity, they could well be different siblings.

Notes:

There is a Violate Vitter listed as a daughter in the 1880 census entry for Auguste Vitter. But there are so many children (namely, 14) listed for Auguste in the census and/or birth records that it's not clear that they're all his kids. There is a Violet Vitter listed in the marriage index, 1830-1900, of Orleans Parish; she married Charles Riguelmy in 1896. I'm supposing that Violate and Violet are the same person and that she's the daughter of Auguste Vitter.

There is also a Violet Vitter Wren, widow of Hayden Wilson Wren, who died in 1966, with four children, three grandchildren, and six great grandchildren. I'm also supposing that it's the same Violet Vitter. She's buried at Greenwood Cemetery. The funeral was at Bultman on St. Charles at Louisiana on Sunday 1/31/1966. It could be that this Violet is the daughter of August Valentin Vitter, son of Auguste Vitter.

The Wren family was invited to the funeral of Victoire Hentzelin, widow of Auguste Vitter, so there was a close connection between her Vitter and Wren families, which makes the chance likely that Victoire's daughter Violet was the one who married Hayden Wilson Wren.

Violate married Charles Riquelmy on 1 Sep 1896 in New Orleans, Orleans, Louisiana, USA. Charles was born about 1875; died on 10 Feb 1899 in New Orleans, Orleans, Louisiana, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
