Annette Burgert has published her newest book, "Palatine Origins of Some PA People", and do buy it or have your library do so. Michael Moll on the "Pennsylvania Merchant" 1731 Weisenheim am Sand Reformed KB Hans Georg Moll, single, from Hessen, m. 19 Nov. 1687 Esther Margaretha, the daughter of Adam Schmidt. Children: Hans Michel, bp. 15 June 1698 Sponsers: Hans Michel Strauss and Maria Margretha Maria Ursula, bp. 8 May 1701 Johan Peter25 March 1709 ("Mortonhouse" 1729) [There is no mention of Christophel Moll, also on the "Pennsylvania Merchant", but as you can see, there are no births listed between 1701 and 1709. There are no mentions of Margarite, Anlyas, Conrad or Margarite Moll either. Annette writes that there are many gaps in the Weisenheim records. As most of us descend from Christophel Moll, this is disappointing. It is possible, of course, that Christophel Moll is not close kin, or could be a cousin. We don't have the records to know.] Also from Weisenheim am Sand Reformed KB Hans Michael Moll and wife Rosina had a son: Hiob. bp. 30 July 1730 Sponser: Hiob Held, single Annette continues with excellent American records on these families and others. One small comment about Johan Peter Moll. This Peter would have been only 20 when he sailed. Anne
