Cheryl,
My relative is the brother of your relative which is Daniel Solt brother of Johannes Nicholos SOLT. I have found out that Henrich's wife was Anna Maria Kreiner. If you can confirm that it would be great.
Joseph,
I've been unable to locate any information on Heinrich other than a few tidbits in Bucks County, PA records listing him as Henry Solt. To find his wife would be a HUGE breakthrough.
I also have HOFFMAN/HOFFMANN's in my direct line that I've traced back to a Christian HOFFMAN(N) (1826-1891) in Cincinnati, Ohio. Any relations?
Now I am not positive on the wife but its the info that I ran into and I am excited to see if I can prove it. I got it from another family tree so it might be right on the money but I like to double check before I lock it into my family tree. Thanks for the interest into the Hoffman line. My Hoffman's are from around Daulphin Co. Pa I am searching for a Samuel Hoffman from Germany.
In the IGI at familysearch.org 2 files say Henry Solt born about 1680 with one stating father of Daniel Solt and placing birth Pfalz, Germany
This entry maybe connected to the IGI's HEINRICH BALTHASAR SOLDT son of Hans Balthasar Soldt and Mary Margaretha christened 17 APR 1669 Evangelisch-Reformierte, Bergzabern, Pfalz, Bayern
This may be a connection to the "van Soldt/Solt" family I have been researching.
Strange that you and Cheryl mentioned Hoffman. In my van Soldt research I have study family clusters associated with van Soldt but also clusters of these associated families. There is a VON Hoffman family recorded in Belgium 1600's which came from Germany and somewhat linked to associated families of the van Soldt's. Maybe it is a coincidence, maybe more?
Also possibilty from IGI is HINRICH GUENTER SOLTE son of HERMAN SOLTE and ELISABETH REMMER who was christened 29 JUN 1688 Evangelisch, Borgholzhausen, Westfalen, Preussen
HEINRICH GEORG SOLD son of JOHAN BALTHASAR SOLD and MARIA MARGRETHA and christened on 16 JUL 1671 Evangelisch-Reformierte, Bergzabern, Pfalz, Bayern Must be a brother of Heinrich Balthasar Soldt
The IGI with Henry as the father of Daniel is the closest possibility for my SOLT line, especially with Pfalz as the birth. Pfalz is listed several times throughout the early SOLT research.
Armando I was talking with my mother and she said that someone had contacted her many years ago about the solt line and had it back a man who fought in Napolians army. I will ask her if she can remember who it is and if I can get in contact with him again. Maybe that the info of Napolians Army guy maybe makes some sence. I will let you know what I find.
That is very cool with the Hoffman link to the Solt family.
The person in Napoleons army was "du Soult" and I am very familiar to this Noble family. Personally I do not think there is a connection but could be wrong.
Are you familiar with other SOLT(American) researchers like Bruce and Don. I think Soldt, Sold, and Solt spellings are connected. Maybe connection in Alsace (possibly because of Mill operations) and other lead is to Germany. If Pfalz is the point of concetration the Sold and Soldt spellings found in IGI should be of interest to American Solt researchers. One other Dutch and German noble family exist as pontential interest and that is "van Sultz" but I think this is a seperate family. I am working on missing "van Soldt/Solt" in Germany in 1600's which may link to American Solt branch.
Armando, I know of at least one or two others besides Bruce and Don who are researching the SOLT family in America. One is Marsha Solt-Smith out of the Utah branch. Many of the DREISBACH researchers are interested in the SOLT research - because these families intermarried multiple times over multiple generations.
Can you invite Marsha and the Driesbach researchers? The more people involved together the more productive I think we will be. I sent out 30 invites to view our discussion today. Hopefully someone with German language(OLD and new) expertise and familiar with German archives and research will join us. Also someone familiar with Alsace and french language would be helpful to.
I also found some interesting info under variant ZOLT. My van Soldt family had many variants when recorded and "van Zolt" is one of them. I founf Zolt in both Alsace and Germany.
My friend returned from a month long vacation and is back in Holland work on van Soldt family in Germany.
This is also of interest >>>
Johann Heinrich SOLD born 27 MAR 1723 and baptised 29 MAR 1723 in NIEDERBRONN-LES-BAINS, EVANGELISCHE KIRCHE, BAS-RHIN, FRANCE, father is Hanss Peter SOLD and mother Anna Catharina
I looked at the Dries(s)bach/Ttries(s)bach name with primary origins in Westfalia also a place on the van Soldt family. Also recording of Driesbach's in Pfalz and Alsace/Strasburg area.
I found a Johann Balthasar Soldt married to a Maria Margretha Suebels in 1667 in Annweiler, Pfalz, Bayern (Reformierte Lutherische). Suebels/Seubel/Solbel is also found in Westfalia, Alsace and Nothern Pennsyvania. Does Seubels/Suebel/Sobel/Zobel sound or look familiar to you Joseph or Cheryl?
Notice the internet genealogy sites were lacking Solt information. I spent the last 2 days compiling and sifting through records and keying on Marriage and Christening records for Solt, Soldt, Sold, Zolt and Zold in Germany between 1600 and 1750. I have posted Soldt, Zolt, Zold and part of Sold results to geneanet.org which make take a few days to post. Joseph, I noticed you have an account there, you may want to set up alerts for Solt and variants for the new information to come up. I completed Sold for 1600's and will finish Sold families in 1700's next week. I think this will help most the confused researchers out there and someonemay be able to add to this. Surprising is lack records(official documents) with Solt spelling in Germany.
My Solt family relatives are from the Wilkes-Barre area of Pennsylvania.. My grandfather's mother was a Solt family member..I do know of a family photo with her,all of her siblings(I believe 21 were born but maybe 16 survived to adulthood), and parents...They came over to be mercenaries I believe.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
3 recent findings which may be of interest
A)I find a Henry Solt born in Baldock, Hertford, England in August of 1707 and has a father named Henry. His father Henry should have been born in circa 1680's timeframe and possibly traveling through England enroute to PA?
B)In 1776 a Captain Nathaniel Vansout is recorded in Pennsylvania in 1926 Book "White servitude in Pennsylvania" by Cheesman A Herrick. I wonder if "Vansout" may be a mispelling. If there is a Nathaniel Solt/Sold/Soldt found as a soldier this would help in a possible connection.
C) Still working on Abraham van Soldt and his family who came to Northampton, Virginia in late 1650's. Family disappears before 1700's as far as I have researched. I did find out that Western portion of Pennsyvania was originally part of Virginia and several families from Virginia migrated there.
Armand to I am very close to the Solt family in USA through my Grandmother. Sorry it took so long to get back to you. I will take a look at The Henry Solt born in Baldock. Do you know when he was born and died and where it would help.
Could there be any possiblity that my side of the solt's could b related to the Dieu_Soult? My mother had said that a researcher had told her that she was related to a person in Napolians Army. She thought at the time that it had to be a significant person for him to mention. Any info would be great.
Joseph, That is the only information I have found so far on this Henry Solt?
I believed I had answered the question of Dieu Soult before? It is interesting that I find someone of this family in Belgium recorded around 1800. If you want I will do a little research for you to start you off on this lead. My opinion that this well recorded Noble family does not have many variants like Soldt, Soldt. I can see the researcher assume because "Solt" and "Soult" sound so close there may be a connection. However you should have her ask what he has found to conclude such a statement. My motto is "leave no stone unturned" and you should look at this until you are satisfied. It would help so much if there were at least 2 SOLT(male)Y-DNA tests for comparison's to other European DNA project's! I am still trying to secure 2 van Solt/Soldt males to Y-DNA test!
I thought this was an interesting PDF. Taxes of 1776 Northampton which lists John and Daniel Solt. It also lists a John Wygant. One of Hans van Solt/Soldt in early 1600's London was married to a Janneken Wygants/Wijgants listed in the Austin Friars church records.
JASON M. SOLT, 26, OF TOPTON Jason M. Solt, 26, of Topton, died May 25, 2011 of natural causes. He was the husband of Amanda R. (Tobias) Solt. They were married May 16, 2009. Born August 29, 1984 in Allentown, he was a son of Lee D., Jr. and Linda J. (Moser) Solt, Topton. He was a member of Sons of the American . Ray A. Master Squadron 217, Topton. He most recently worked as a sales representative for Sysco Foods, Harrisburg, last working May, 2010. Prior to that, he was employed as general manager of Kutztown Tavern, Kutztown for eight years. He was a 2002 graduate of Brandywine Heights Area High School, Topton. In addition to his wife and parents, he is survived by paternal grandparents, Lee D. and Shirley A. (Miller) Solt, Walnuttown, and maternal grandparents, Verna A. (Kline), widow of Ernest W. Moser, Punta Gorda, FL. Funeral service will be held Saturday, May 28, 2011, 1 p.m. from Ludwick Funeral Homes, Inc., 333 Greenwich Street, Kutztown, with Rev. Kerry W. Smart officiating.

The family requests contributions be made to American Cancer Society , 498 Bellevue Avenue, Reading, PA 19605.
(in The Mercury on May 27, 2011)
My mother (van Solt/van Soldt) has contributed her DNA at www.23andme.com and already in 2 weeks there are (10) matches to cousins through "Autosomal DNA". My mother's "mt-DNA" is T1a1(mother to daughter lineage) through her mother Irene Veenhuizen. Anyone intersted in comparison's please contact me. We still need a "MALE" Solt/Soldt to contribute in order to establish a "Y-DNA" HAPLOgroup for the Pennsyvania family. It was intersting female of the American "Solt" family share a high level of SNP's even though a genome match did not occur. The 1700's is so far back a match in Autosomal DNA is not likely. This is why a "MALE" van Soldt/Solt isalso needed as well so that a Y-DNA match can be provided to compare to others who may be related.
"Sol" and "Zoll" families in Holland linked to Germany in this book. Wondering if this may be the key to the Solt family origins.
Translated from Dutch;
From: Genealogy Quarterly 1998-1904 CBG R. Sol. Genealogy Zoll - Sol 1732-1995. Reinbek, 1997. 134 p., ill., Index. (GZoll). Address of the compiler: Ostlandring 34, D-21465 Reinbek, Germany. The Groningen Sol family has a German origin. Ancestor Johan Christiaan Zoll in 1752 came from the Hessian town Allendorf to the Netherlands, where he joined as a soldier in the Army-State. He lived in various garrison towns around 1764 and settled permanently in the city of Groningen. He had a large posterity, which spread to East Groningen and Drenthe East. In the twenties, some descendants moved to Western Canada. Of recent generations are found in this book also details of family descendants in the female line.
This morning I started the FACEBOOK GROUP "Genealogy of the Solt families of Pennsylvania (Soldt, Sold, Sult, & Zoll)" in order to;
1)Generate interest in Pennsylvania Solt Genealogy and by link, direct them here to this Solt group to contribute, discuss, and research together.
2)Help promote male Solt's to contribute DNA for genealogical research.
3)Provide links to recorded information
I added the additional 11 pages. Baliet name is also on one the pages.
I thought when I wrote away that I was going to get the scans from actual Church records and not a transcription. Interesting is the Sold name in 1700's and Solt change appears in early 1800's.
Made an interesting discovery. As you may have been aware of my difficulties in trying to obtain Y-DNA for Male "van Soldt/van Solt's" from Holland or obtain Y-DNA from Solt families of Pennsylvania.
Through Autosomal-DNA I am able to compare data between cousins. I have found a Solt descendant that I was able to make a match with. I would like to compare with several before confirming a match is truly there. I remembered that a Driesbach married a Pennsylvania Solt. So I looked up Driesbach at FTDNA.com ( http://www.familytreedna.com/public/Dreisbach/default.aspx?section=... ) My main purpose of contacting the project manager was to find a Driesbach that has taken a Autosomal-DNA test. Well the manager was unaware of any Autosomal test done by a Driesbach. What I found interesting was the Y-DNA results. There are only 2 Driesbach of the 24 with I1 haplogroup. One is of German origin and the other is unknown. What is special about I1 haplogroup. This happens to be the George Soule of the Mayflower haplogroup and the suspected haplogroup of the van Solt/van Soldt families.
So if any Pennsylvania SOLT direct or indirect descendant wants to take the $99 test at www.23andMe.com plus 1yr subscription please contact me after you do please. This includes any Driesbach descendant from a Solt.
Solt DNA Update! So far the only known descendant of the American Solt Family who has contributed DNA has been Carol Lane. I have compared her Autosomal-DNA sample to my mother's DNA at www.gedmatch.com ! My mother's number is [M154226] ! I also compared Carol's to my mother's Identical Twin sister [M110200] which had the same results. We would need additional Solt descendants to compare in order to confirm there is connection between American Solt family and the Dutch family of van Solt/van Soldt! There was a new member going by alias of GeneaFan2 on 23andMe.com that has the surname Solt listed in their tree! I sent a message to compare but have yet to get any response.
Just made contact with M Stanaway alias GeneaFan2 at 23andMe.com. He states "I haven't confirmed everything myself but to the best of my knowledge I descend from Johann Nicolaus Solt who came from Europe (Germany I think), to Pennsylvania. Supposedly Johann's daughter Magdelana who was born in Pennsylvania is my 5th grgrandmother."
Henry Salts (b.~1760 -d.1850) and John A. Salts (d.1842) both lived and died in Washington County, TN. Their birth location is unknown. They both spelled their name SOLTS in the early 1800s. John A. has SOLTS on his grave marker. I administer the Salts DNA project on Family Tree DNA. WE have recently added SOLT, SOLTS and ZOLL to our project names. We would love to have some SOLT males from the Penn. SOLT/SOLTS families take the yDNA test. This would confirm or rule out the SOLT/SOLTS connection.
There is a Solt in the Facebook genealogy group willing to take the test but not sure of lineage until he provide his genealogy. His Virginia lineage may trace back to Pennsylvania. There is another male Solt [variant] supposedly connected to PA Solt's taking the 23andMe Autosomal-DNA test which should also include "Y-paternal" and "mt-maternal" dna info.
Thank you Robert Eugene Sult, for being the first to help establish a haplogroup classification of [R1b1b2a]. Now we are looking for the next Sult, Solt male to help confirm this haplogroup classification for the family.
This may be great news. A year ago I checked www.FTDNA.com for members listed under Solt and there was only 1. I could not get the full name or tell if it was a male or female because they were not found in any research groups. Well now there are 3 Solt's and 1 is definitely a male awaiting results. I do not know this Solt's genealogy yet. There is currently no Solt/Sult DNA research group but a male Solt/Sult can join the [Salts/Solts Group DNA Project] > http://www.familytreedna.com/public/salts/default.aspx?section=yres... or the [Soule Family DNA Project] > http://www.familytreedna.com/public/GeorgeSoule/default.aspx?sectio... There are also 3 members named Soltz that also do not belong to a group.
You can get the Y-DNA haplogroup from Autosomal-DNA test but you need a Y-DNA test to get the individual markers.

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 thought when I wrote away that I was going to get the scans from actual Church records and not a transcription. Interesting is the Sold name in 1700's and Solt change appears in early 1800's.

Not Sure why that link did not work. Maybe because I changed the Title.
The album is in PICASA web album online on GOOGLE. So just Google "Solt" and "Genealogy" if new link does not work.

Made an interesting discovery. As you may have been aware of my difficulties in trying to obtain Y-DNA for Male "van Soldt/van Solt's" from Holland or obtain Y-DNA from Solt families of Pennsylvania.
Through Autosomal-DNA I am able to compare data between cousins. I have found a Solt descendant that I was able to make a match with. I would like to compare with several before confirming a match is truly there. I remembered that a Driesbach married a Pennsylvania Solt. So I looked up Driesbach at FTDNA.com ( http://www.familytreedna.com/public/Dreisbach/default.aspx?section=... ) My main purpose of contacting the project manager was to find a Driesbach that has taken a Autosomal-DNA test. Well the manager was unaware of any Autosomal test done by a Driesbach. What I found interesting was the Y-DNA results. There are only 2 Driesbach of the 24 with I1 haplogroup. One is of German origin and the other is unknown. What is special about I1 haplogroup. This happens to be the George Soule of the Mayflower haplogroup and the suspected haplogroup of the van Solt/van Soldt families.
So if any Pennsylvania SOLT direct or indirect descendant wants to take the $99 test at www.23andMe.com plus 1yr subscription please contact me after you do please. This includes any Driesbach descendant from a Solt.

Solt DNA Update! So far the only known descendant of the American Solt Family who has contributed DNA has been Carol Lane. I have compared her Autosomal-DNA sample to my mother's DNA at www.gedmatch.com ! My mother's number is [M154226] ! I also compared Carol's to my mother's Identical Twin sister [M110200] which had the same results. We would need additional Solt descendants to compare in order to confirm there is connection between American Solt family and the Dutch family of van Solt/van Soldt! There was a new member going by alias of GeneaFan2 on 23andMe.com that has the surname Solt listed in their tree! I sent a message to compare but have yet to get any response.

Great NEWS! A male Solt has come forward to contribute to a DNA test! I have to verify his lineage to the Penn. SOLT/SULT/SOLD lineages first.

Henry Salts (b.~1760 -d.1850) and John A. Salts (d.1842) both lived and died in Washington County, TN. Their birth location is unknown. They both spelled their name SOLTS in the early 1800s. John A. has SOLTS on his grave marker. I administer the Salts DNA project on Family Tree DNA. WE have recently added SOLT, SOLTS and ZOLL to our project names. We would love to have some SOLT males from the Penn. SOLT/SOLTS families take the yDNA test. This would confirm or rule out the SOLT/SOLTS connection.

There is a Solt in the Facebook genealogy group willing to take the test but not sure of lineage until he provide his genealogy. His Virginia lineage may trace back to Pennsylvania. There is another male Solt [variant] supposedly connected to PA Solt's taking the 23andMe Autosomal-DNA test which should also include "Y-paternal" and "mt-maternal" dna info.

Thank you Robert Eugene Sult, for being the first to help establish a haplogroup classification of [R1b1b2a]. Now we are looking for the next Sult, Solt male to help confirm this haplogroup classification for the family.

This may be great news. A year ago I checked www.FTDNA.com for members listed under Solt and there was only 1. I could not get the full name or tell if it was a male or female because they were not found in any research groups. Well now there are 3 Solt's and 1 is definitely a male awaiting results. I do not know this Solt's genealogy yet. There is currently no Solt/Sult DNA research group but a male Solt/Sult can join the [Salts/Solts Group DNA Project] > http://www.familytreedna.com/public/salts/default.aspx?section=yres... or the [Soule Family DNA Project] > http://www.familytreedna.com/public/GeorgeSoule/default.aspx?sectio...
There are also 3 members named Soltz that also do not belong to a group.
You can get the Y-DNA haplogroup from Autosomal-DNA test but you need a Y-DNA test to get the individual markers.
Current price for the 4 Y-DNA tests are:
12 Markers $49
37 Markers $169
67 Markers $268
111 Markers $359
FTDNA.com is the best for Y-DNA(paternal lineage) and mt-DNA(maternal lineage) ONLY!
23andMe.com is best for Autosomal-DNA(all ancestral lineages)
