Essig Family Tree – There is a hand drawn tree the traces the Essig family from Simon Essig through several generations. An original copy of this tree is housed in the McKinley Presidential Museum and Library Ramsayer Research Center. In 2018, the McKinley Museum was able to scan this piece of history and make copies available for purchase. If you are interested in obtaining a copy, please contact the McKinley Museum for details (Our links page has a link for the Ramsayer Research Center.)
