The Selker line begins with my great-grandmother Frances Philomena Selker. The oldest currently known individual in the Selker Line is Johann Heinrich Selker, my 5th Great Grandfather, born around in the 1700's in Germany.

To date there are 9 generations of ancestors that descend from Johann Heinrich Selker and his wife Anna Maria Adelheid Kock.
