 Charles
John "Charlie" Roggerman or Roggermann (left) who
was
born February 1855 in Germany on
Rügen
Island is the earliest ancestor of this family
we have been able to find...so far.
He
emigrated to America in 1881
or 82 and eventually made his way to Monroe County, Michigan. In
November, 1884, he married Louisa S. Rehmann in Adrian,
Lenawee County, Michigan. Louisa was born in New Jersey
and we suspect that is where Charles originally met her
after arriving from Germany. From 1885 to 1890, they had
four children; Leonard,
Hulda (Fitzpatrick),
Ralph and
George. For some unknown reason, George chose to spell
his name without the second "r" as Roggeman.
Charles died at the age of 86 in 1941
of burns he suffered when he apparently fell asleep
while smoking while sitting in a living room chair. He was living with his son,
Leonard, in Dundee, Michigan at the time.
 Listed
below by generation are the direct i.e. share
DNA, descendants
of Charles John Roggerman. Since the author of this
website, Ralph Heiden, is the grandson of one of
Charles' children, Ralph Raymond (right), this branch is
covered in greater detail. However, we are also
gathering information on Ralph's three siblings,
Leonard, Hulda and George.
 The people listed below only represent a small sample of the total family as it exists now in the 21st century. If you have names of individuals that should be shown on the lists in these later generations, please provide the full name of the person, the decade of his or her birth and the parents' names. If they are still living their name alone will be added to the lists with
no inclusion of other specific dates or data.
