Pauline, I saw your message about the Appel family and was interested in you name, Leitner. My gt gt gt grandmother was Anna Elizabeth LIGHTNER / LEIDNER / LEITNER 1756-1812. She was married to Adam Shaffer in 1776. They lived in Tulpehocken Township, Berks Co., PA . Do you have any information on this family that you can share? If so, I would be happy to share the biographical information I have on Adam.
