I have just joined this list, and I see from Grayeme that you all appear to be very friendly and helpful. So, I am glad to be here! I am researching Johonnes Schroeder who was living somewhere in Germany in 1805 when he had his daughter, Margaret. He must have moved to Lancaster, Pennsylvania, USA by 1824 because his daughter married there that year. Margaret and her husband, Jacob Myers, were married in Pennsyvania, but died in Ashmore Township in Illinois. I don't know the name of Johonnes' wife. I am also trying to find information about Jacob Myers (Margaret's husband) who was born somewhere in Germany 16 August, 1794. Is anyone else researching Myers and Schroeder (Schrõder/Schrader/Schroder)? Sandi sandilee@cableone.net
