I haven't been to LCHS but have gone to the Mennonite Library , don't recall the exact name, on the east side of town. I think the Bear, Kephart, and Fritz families of Buck Co are related and part of our lineage. Some Bear men migrated "west" and I think they settled in Cumberland Co Pa where my great grandfather popped up. I just cannot id his parents nor make the connection positively with the Kephart-Fritz-Bear lines with ours. Oh well, such is the way this research goes. Contact me direct for other comments, and thanks again, Bill beartrax at mtaonline dot net Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
