2 nd evidence of van Solt and van Soldt arms are the family which spelled the name multiple ways. Hopefully DNA from a van Soldt will be compared to an American Solt soon to determine a connection.

I found a "van Soldt" to contribute DNA in the Netherlands to help establish a halogroup and markers to compare! It will be several weeks.

Does anyone know of any American Solt DNA results?

Can you tell us more about the Solt Plantation and who your oldest Solt ancestor is?

Some people would simply laugh at such an idea when somebody suggest a variant that has dramatic change in spelling and pronunciation. Your variant changes primary Solt sound to Shelt or Skelt. With a long standing mystery of the origin of the Solt family I would be the first person to say lets look at everything. However clues to be researched should be ranked in order of probability and Schelt would seem low on the list.

IMPORTANT to you where you find this Shelt may turn out to actually to be a Shelt. Then you would in turn research your Schelt lines. I would look in Penn archive book or Google Books for Scelt to see if any in Penn. One other point of interest if Schelt was misread from a document and was actually Scholt. The variants on this may interest you and are Scholders; Scholdes; Scholtes; Scholtink; Scholtus; Schultheis; Solduijs!

I would suggest you go over your tree one time starting with your grandparents
and verify every person up the line against civil or church records. If you relied on someone else's research and they do not have specific day's of the event and full details of the location it usually is questionable. Hopefully they note the source like I do in most of my trees on Ancestry which are often copied. I have seen dates and places that do not match my info that has been submitted without a source, thats why I state from from Church or Civil records.

When you finally get to your final Solt or Schelt let me know and I will help research it with you.

Yeah the name schelt was the newest name that I have run into to get my tree branching out futher. After hearing what you both said I will look for the names of the people that i found and try a different last name to see what I can see. Thanks for the info. Also i would like to get the Dreisbach/Triesbach info out to you as soon as I fix some of the problems with the info I have.

Joseph you had mentioned Soult before which is much closer to Solt. Now you say Schelt for a few family members? I think maybe an error in recording or spelling for an individual is possible but not a lineage. If it bothers you then you should investigate it and leave no stone unturned! Considering Pennsylvania has recordings of Soldt, Sold, Soult, Soltz which is much closer to Solt also in PA this is more likely the case.
The question I would like to know are they seperate families or are some recordings of variant spellings of the same family. One Pennsylvania archive book spoke of a military unit and I see similar names on 3 roster. ( 1 has Soldt spelling, other 2 use Sold for a Conrad) Clearly recording the same person in 2 different ways.

I have discovered in the "van Solt" side of my family during 1600's to 1700's Henrich was a common name used in the County of Loon, Belgium.

I know there are researchers, but is there a Solt family association in America?

Also looking at American Solt Dna I think there are at least 2 BRANCHES which means we are looking for at least two points of origin.

It is a shame that other Solt researcher's who have been invited, have not read or entered any comments.

Have never in 15 years of searching seen that spelling for the SOLT family.

Comment by Joseph Eric Hoffman on May 18, 2010 at 2:08pm

I have found part of the solt family has a possible spelling of Schelt . Does anyone else know anything Please le me know. I am still asking my mother about info on the solt family. I will let you know when I find out more.

Hannah
WELCOME. It's always good to see other SOLT researchers online. Who is your earliest ancestor?
