The Tanners of Louisiana Family
​

It's to be understood that this information is not 100% accurate, as some of the birth dates would put the ancestors clearly under/over the child bearing age. The dates, genders, as well as other information could as well be incorrect. However this is a great source of information, and as well a great starting point. If you have any additional information, updates, corrections, etc; please e-mail topgun284@cox.net them to me and I will up date the family tree. I would like to thank Marlene Lee for her help in providing the following ancestry information, which without, building the Tanner Ancestry Family Tree would not had been possible.
Early Origins of the Tanner family
The English Tanner was a trade name for people who tanned hides. The Finnish Tanner name came from people that lived on or near a meadow. The German and Swiss Tanner name came from people who lived in or near a forest, hence the coat of arms for the Bargen Tanner family was a Christmas or Fir tree (Tannenbaum). The Swiss pronounce the T as a D in their dialect. Because of this many Tanners became Danner when they arrived here in America. Bavaria, Germany is the ancestral home of the Tanner family. The Tanner surname evolved as a local name. This name was originally derived from the German word tan, which means forest. The surname Tanner was first found in Franconia, where the name came from humble beginnings but gained a significant reputation for its contribution to the emerging mediaeval society. It later became more prominent as many branches of the same house acquired distant estates and branches, some in foreign countries, always elevating their social status by their great contributions to society.
Tanner Spelling
Variations In the medieval era, many different cultural groups lived in the German states. There are thus many regional variations of German surnames from that era. Westphalians spoke Low German, which is similar to modern Dutch. Many German names carry suffixes that identify where they came from. Others have phrases attached that identify something about the original bearer. Other variations in German names resulted from the fact that medieval scribes worked without the aid of any spelling rules. The spelling variations of the name Tanner include Danner, Tann, Tan, Tanner, Taner, Tanns, Tans, Tanne and many more. An inquiry into the early roots of North American families has revealed a number of immigrants bearing the name Tanner or a variant listed above:
United States Tanner migration to the United States
Thousands of German settlers came to North America between the 17th and 19th centuries. The hardships of the long voyage were balanced by the opportunity to escape poverty and religious persecution. The descendents of these settlers populate the states of Virginia, Pennsylvania, Louisiana, Texas, New York, Illinois, and California. Many also live in Ontario and the prairie provinces of Canada.
