Reports:
The tragic story of William McCool, the astronaut who is a descendant of Caroline Louise Wilhelmine Peithmann (table 19) who married Louis Huck, moved the world. Everybody remembers the fatal crash of spacecraft Columbia on Febr. 1, 2003. Willie McCool died at 41 years as pilot on his first journey in space:
Harlan Peithmann jr. (table 22) travelled to Germany with his parents in 1937, one year after the Olympic Games organised by Nazi Germany, one year before the Kristallnacht and two years before the outbreak of World War II. We are very grateful to him for having written up his memories of this trip during which he met some German relatives, too. It is fascinating to read. Harlan sr. Also took a film during this journey. If you are interested in receiving a copy of that film please contact us.—The copyright of the following report lies with Harlan Peithmann jr..

Chronicle:
Our author Wilhelm Meier-Peithmann wrote three parts of a chronicle of the Peit(h)mann family planned to be completed by further additions. These frist three parts with many pictures have been published by the Peit(h)mann Family Association. If you want to acquire the German originals please contact us. By clicking on the following links you can read the English translations of the first two parts of the chronicle which include information on two American branches of the family. The third part of the chronicle has not been translated into English as there did not seem to be sufficient interest in such a translation.
Part 1: complete text (in English)
Part 2: complete text (in English)
A full chronicle of the Peit(h)mann family was published in German in September 2011 (see first page of this website).
Useful Links:
In the 1850ies the English gentleman John Tomas Perceval, son of a former British Prime Minister, did an enquiry into the story of Dr. Eduard Peithmann, an Oxford professor, who had been held captive in British gaols resp. in the Bethlem lunatic asylum for 14 years with no justification whatsoever. This case was so scandalous that a young German journalist by the name of Karl Marx (Yes! The one who invented Communism) wrote an article about it in a New York newspaper: read it!
