Ancestry of Sen. John Kerry Page 1 of 112 Main Search | Help The Ancestors of Senator John Forbes Kerry (b. 1943) by William Addams Reitwiesner The following material on the first fourteen generations of the ancestry of John Kerry should not be considered either exhaustive or definitive, but rather as a first draft. I'd like to thank David Curtis Dearborn, of the New England Historic-Genealogical Society, for his generous contribution of his collection of material on Sen. Kerry's paternal ancestry, Samuel C. Dotson for sharing the results of his research in Austria, and a correspondent (who wishes to remain anonymous) who provided some extracts from the Pinkus-Fraenkel Archive at the Leo Baeck Institute in New York. Gary Boyd Roberts, also of the New England Historic-Genealogical Society, helped with much of the New England ancestry. Kelsey Jackson Williams contributed the Blackwell ancestry. Other contributors include Hon Howard F. Sachs, Joseph Cook, François Velde, Wanda Thomalla, and Julie Helen Otto (also of NEHGS). William Addams Reitwiesner
