Welcome and thank you for visiting the website of Tritt Family Research, a non-profit organization incorporated in Pennsylvania, and dedicated to research and publication of documented TRITT (TRITTEN, DRITT, TRAIT, TREAT, TRATE) family history. Our surname originated in Switzerland as TRITTEN, with the earliest documented written entry of a Petrus Tritten dated 8 March 1485. In 1999, we published Tritt Family History, Vol. I, beginning with documented family history from 1562, describing the family origin in the Obersimmental region (St. Stephan area) in Canton Bern, Switzerland, and concluding with the grandchildren of the earliest known Tritt(en) immigrants to America (brothers Hans Peter and Christian Tritt) in 1739. Tritt Family History, Vol. II, published in 2007, covered Johann Paul, born in 1752 as the son of Hans Peter Tritt, to his present-day descendants. Volume III, planned for publication in 2011, will cover 1739 immigrant brother, Christian Tritt through to his present-day descendants, many with derived surnames Trait, Treat, Trate and Treet. Future volumes are planned to cover other children of Hans Peter Tritt and their descendants to the then-current day, and hopefully others to trace the history of other Tritt immigrants to America and migrations to other parts of the world. Our genealogic publications can only be as complete as the records we have. Send your family data to us using the Family Records Form on this website. We publish an annual newsletter; if you would like to receive it, so inform us. Funding for our work is mostly from gratefully received private donations, with some from the sale of items of interest to family members. See Tritt Items elsewhere on this website. And we always are happy to welcome new members to conduct our work. Help is needed; please join us.
