there is a second cousin i had but he lived his who life in lebanon, pa, he married a girl from philly by the surname of Auchenbach. does this confuse the situation? rick -------------------- Hey Rick! The one you're referring to is Roy D. Berkheiser who married Catherine Mae Aughenbaugh. Both of them lived and died in Lebanon, PA. They had 3 children that I know of. They are Janice Mae, Roy, and Doris. There's two other Leroy Berkheisers on the tree but its possible they're the same person. The one Leroy married Mary Melnick and had 3 kids. The other has a birth and death dates. Apr. 12, 1908-July 1977. Any thoughts on these two Leroys? Rick B
