I have come to the conclusions that at least 75% of those on the Brethren discussion group are cousins! For those who had an ancestor who was a GBB before 1800 it probably is 99.9% No big problem - as I said, it is a minor point considering various spellings of many names. What I would REALLY like to see is some record of the marriage of Christian Harter and Elizabeth Eller. The majority of his siblings were married in St. Peter's Lutheran Church, Frederick Co., MD, but I have no record of where they were married (or the exact date). I assume probably a German Baptist Brethren Church. By the way, Christian and Elizabeth were my 5G grandparents, as I said, but my direct line Harter ancestor was Frantz Harter, one of Christian's brothers. Frantz's son, John, married Christian's granddaughter, Catharine Ray. Bob ----- Original Message ----- From: "N. H.
