A Foundational Record of the Swiss-American Family That Took Root in Pennsylvania and Spread Across Generations.
by Dr. Noah Miller Glatfelter M.D.
A landmark work of early American family history, Record of Casper Glattfelder of Glattfelden, Canton Zürich, Switzerland and of his Descendants. Immigrant, 1743 traces the descendants of Swiss immigrant Casper Glattfelder from his 1743 arrival in Pennsylvania through the generations that followed. Compiled by Dr. Noah Miller Glatfelter and first published in 1901, with a 1910 supplement, this reprint preserves the original genealogical research, family numbering system, and historical record that helped spark the founding of the Casper Glattfelder Association of America.
First published in 1901 and expanded with a supplement in 1910, this volume is one of the foundational works of Glattfelder family history in America. Dr. Noah Miller Glatfelter, a physician and direct descendant of Casper Glattfelder, spent years gathering letters, church records, land records, military records, and family data to document the descendants of the Swiss immigrant who arrived in Pennsylvania in 1743. This 2026 reprint brings together both the original book and supplement in a faithful edition that preserves Dr. Noah’s text, genealogical charts, photographs, family numbering system, and original conclusions.
More than a genealogy, this book is the starting point of a living family tradition. The research it contained helped inspire the first Glattfelder family reunion in 1906 and the formation of the Casper Glattfelder Association of America. For descendants, historians, and genealogists, it offers a direct connection to the earliest large-scale effort to record the Glattfelder family in the United States. For general readers, it opens a window into immigration, settlement, kinship, and the way one family’s story spread across generations and across the country.
Quality reprints of the books that tell your family's story.
The Curated Quill LLC is a specialty book distributor focused on family heritage, history, and storytelling. We partner with family associations and copyright holders to bring out-of-print genealogies, historical narratives, and family records back to life through quality reprints. Our first collection features the Glattfelder family — an American story that stretches back to 1743, when a Swiss farmer named Casper crossed the Atlantic and planted roots in Pennsylvania. The books we carry are the primary works that document eleven generations of that family's journey, written by the descendants who spent decades making sure the story wouldn't be lost. If your family has a story worth keeping in print, we'd like to help tell it.
A Collection of True Stories and Events about the Descendants of Solomon Clodfelter
Two cousins set out in 1993 to capture the stories their family had carried for generations — pioneer life in Indiana, faith and farming, humor and hardship. The result is a faithful 2026 reprint of the 1995 original: the bear stories, the recipes, the reunions, and the people who lived them.
From Casper Glattfelder’s Arrival in 1743 Through His Six Sons and a Century of Reunions
Casper Glattfelder left Glattfelden, near Zurich, and landed at Philadelphia in August 1743. He settled in York County, Pennsylvania, raised six sons, and became the ancestor of most Americans who spell the name Glattfelder, Glatfelter, Gladfelter, Glotfelty, or Clodfelter. This volume reprints the two books that record the family: Dr. Charles H. Glatfelter’s 1993 overview of Casper and his descendants, and his 2005 history of the Casper Glattfelder Association of America across its first hundred years, 1906–2005. Both rest on wills, deeds, church registers, and Zurich emigration records — the documented account, reprinted exactly as he wrote it.
