Listed below by generation are the direct i.e. share DNA, descendants of the earliest Rambow we have been able to find...so far. Nicolaus Heinrich Rambow was born in 1754 in Pohnstorf (Joerdenstorf), Germany.The first four generations of his family were all born in Germany and only Heinrich Rambow, Jr made the journey to America as far as we know. He made the trip in 1874 along with his first three children, Friedrich, Bertha (Burgard) and Henry III. Everyone else from generation 5 onward to generation 9 was born in the United States.

The family lived in Dundee Township according to the 1880 U.S. census and then moved to their long-term home at 7400 South Custer Road in Raisinville Township, Monroe County, Michigan. After arriving in America, they bore four more children; Mary (Heiden), Fredareka (Heiden), William and Wilhelmina "Minnie".
