The red circles indicate the known regions from which Horsch families have emigrated. The name of the city or region is shown in blue.
There are three groupings of the ancestral regions shown in green. The western group is contained within the area of the Prussian Rhine Province. The Rhine Province consisted of the western half of Nordrhine-Westfallen and the northern portion of Rhineland-Plafz. Roman Catholic was the predominant religion in this area.
The second group is centered around the intersection of the boundaries of Hessen, Bavaria and Baden-Wuertemberg. Most of the people in this area belonged to a protestant religion.
The third region contains a single Horsch immigrant from Saxony in eastern Germany.
The Horsch immigrants came from a relatively small area of Germany. Perhaps the main reason for this is the use of the Horsch spelling in these regions versus the use of the Horst spelling throughout the rest of Germany. The Horsch familes of America are listed below grouped by the region they came from.
