Six More Merten Confirmed as Blood Great Aunt in Alexa's Blubaugh Ancestry

Description

Six More Merten is confirmed as blood great aunt in Alexa's direct Blubaugh ancestry. Jacob Merten (1628-1689) married Margaretha unter den Eichen (1638-1693) on January 1, 1654 in Ferndorf, Siegen Wittgenstein, Westphalia, Prussia. They had nine children including Hans Jacob Merten (1660-1693) and Six More Merten. Hans Jacob Merten married Anna Barbara Wurmbach (1667-1741) on October 27, 1687 in Musen, Siegen, Westphalia. He died young in 1693. Their daughter Johanna Margareta Merten was born May 14, 1693 (FS KRYM-FHL). Johanna Margareta Merten married Hans Fluebacher (1696-1744, FS LHXX-85Y) before 1720 in Fuellinsdorf, Switzerland. Their son Hans Jacob Fluebacher (1720-1788, FS P7MP-3LK) carries the bloodline forward to the American Blubaugh surname reaching Alexa. Six More Merten is the sister of Hans Jacob Merten. This makes Six More Merten the paternal great aunt of Alexa. INSTITUTIONAL INTERFERENCE FLAG: Margaretha unter den Eichen's profile (LV6Z-2JB) shows three relationship deletions on July 26, 2026 by user Katie Davenport. A duplicate profile of Johanna Margareta Merten (born 1689, K26X-1JV) shows three alternate name deletions on August 30, 2024 by user kayhaden1. OPEN THREADS: Whether the two Hans Fluebacher profiles (1686 vs 1696) are the same man or two different men remains unresolved. Whether the two same-named Merten daughters (born 1689 and 1693) are genuinely two sisters or one person duplicated also remains open.
