== About the family Medicus - Introduction ==

The particularly early occurence of the name and the wide propagation in spite of his characteristic, show that the research about this gender is commendable. It is hardly to be supposed that the Latin name Medicus has originated at several places at the same time, just as the German name for it (Arzt, Arzet)(in english: physician). The Latin name, likewise the German, are too peculiary for it. As a result of that is also to be supposed with considerable security that - the case of a later humanistic coating in Latin garment provided - also a family provable only in the 16th or 17th century of this name is connected to the older bearers. ''(Extract from Heraldic Sheets, Part I, 1905, S.135ff, 152 and the following).''

The councillor Bertholdus Medici found out already in 1336 that the names Medicus (Medici) and Arzt (Arzet) are used for the same person or limbs of the same family beside each other. To think from the writing kind Medici, also more often to be found of Roman descent, is more than ventured. ''(Extract from Heraldic Sheets, Part II, 1905, page 53ff)''

So far the source of the heraldic sheets, written in 1905 from Prof. Leopold Oelenheinz. These sheets are outdated in the respect that between 1995 and 1999 Dr. Reinhard Medicus from Salzburg has resumed the researches. He sighted and checked the amassed documents,  summarised them and added names of emigrants, in particular to the USA. Moreover he established personal contact with German Medicus descendants in the USA. The result are extensive family tree representations in graphic, and with it more clear, form. - Now these researches are to be continued.

The descendants in the USA are invited to take part in further researches about the family Medicus, as far as it concerns their nearer family branch.

'''The "Digital Archive for Family History (DAFFG)" is in our knowledge, currently the only place where the family history of the family Medicus is put into archives. I would appreciate a contact with you to complete it. - The data (birthday etc.) of living persons are protected against public access!'''

== The members of the family Medicus today ==

The today's possibilities of the Internet allow the establishment of contact with remotely living relatives who knew up to now nothing of each other. Because the family Medicus does not dispose of a central family archive, the present Internet site (or his digital archive) can form a collective point. We invite every enthusiast to take part in the researches. Old and new documents, baptismal reports and topical information (Marry, deaths etc.) could be stored here for future generations. 

You find other publicly accessible texts and pictures under [[Medicus:Häuser und Orte|''houses and places'']] as well as [[Medicus:Literatur|''literature'']]. The worked out family trees of the family Medicus with the real names and data (present state in 1999) cannot be made public in entirety, because they also contain data and family relations of even more living people, unless, there already exists an approved publication. The private parts are split off and protected before foreign access. These people are marked with "living descendants (protected)"[[Datei:Locked.gif‎ ]]. If you liked to receive access to these family tree parts, e.g., to take up with distant related contact, turn please to the [[Benutzer:Hans-Jürgen Medicus|''author'']] of this web page.
