John, Thank you also for your explaination concerning Christopher. You or someone else may know about the following church: Surveyed for John SNAP, Senior; George DELLENGER; Vallentine WENDAL for the use of the Dutch Chappel or Society of Dutch Protestants, including the said Chappel. This was being done with the Lutheran Church. Is the Dutch Chappel the same as the Society of Dutch Protestants as a religion. Or the Dutch Chappel a part of the facility that the Lutherans and Dutch Protestants seem to be preparing to erect? This is the first time I have come across a reference to the Society of Dutch Protestants. Chocy

Elke, Thank you. I just now found another survey which shows "Christophel" WENDEL as a witness. This is Christopher WENDEL. When I saw a survey with the stand alone "Stuphell," I thought, could this be the brother Johannes that I have nothing else on? Thanks again for verifying because when it comes to the English spelling the early German names anything can pop-up! Chocy

I believe that Stuphell is a nickname for Christopher. There are many variations of this nickname.

You are right, "Stoffel" as we spell it in German is the abbreviation for Christopher or the common name for him.

John Wilhite and Lucy Stapp went to Woodford County, KY. Their son Tobias and Nancy Margaret Ellis were married there in 1801. John signed their marriage papers. As far as I can find out Joshua Stapp Jr. and Hannah Durham also were there.

I saw in John's note a reference that three daughters of Henry and Anna Margaret Thomas Aylor married English men. I have 3 sons for this couple (Henry Jr, Jacob and Abram) and only one daughter, Mary. She married Elliott Bohannan Jr whose father bought the original Thomas patent ( I just love when the lines interconnect like this). So my question - who were the other two daughters and who did they marry? and were there any other children? The Bohannan couple went to Woodford Co., KY. First Johnnes Thomas descendants in that county of KY. Were there any other Germanna families there? Take care. Marilyn

John Marbes married CATHERINE Smith -- not Elizabeth. It is not bad enough to have THOMAS ancestors but then when THOMAS marries SMITH --- UGH. Take care. Marilyn =

Just wondering if anyone with Culpeper Germanna families had collateral German lines who came in through PA -- I am looking for ANY info on John MARBES, husband of Eliz. Smith and found this "good" possibility. Just wondered if any other futaure Culpeper people were on this ship. Oct. 5, 1763 .To Philadelphia, PA Ship Richmond, Charles Young Husband , Captain, from Rotterdam , last from Portsmouth .--162 passengers. John Marbes -- also listed in another reference as Johan Marbes. He got some land in Culpeper in 1772 -- I need to find when this was sold. My last reference for him was tax record for Culpeper in 1783. Take care. Marilyn

I have approached this topic in the past regarding the possibility of some of the Germanna families having "converso" or Jewish convert roots yet I believe it is very difficult to prove and may be somewhat controversial for some people. I have seen this possibility in other areas of my family that originated from the area on the boarder of France and Germany. In the late 1400's nearly one half million Jews were expelled from Spain and before that many from France. Another half million converted to Christianity in Spain to avoid expulsion yet were persecuted in Spain so much that many later fled in the 1500-1600s. Perhaps over a million people of Jewish or blended Jewish roots fled into Italy, Holland, Great Britain and anywhere that would accept them. The Alsace Lorraine and French-Germany boarder was one of those areas where people of several religions and countries mingled. Spain owned much of Belgium and Luxembourg and the people in this region were more tolerant of living with people who were of a different culture, language, color and even religion. It was here that people of "Africa" as the Jews were called at that time could find some level of tolerance, peace and acceptance at least for a while but into the 1700s persecution and conflict increased. According to Paul Johnson's History of the Jews, many Jews moved into Italy after the 1492 expulsion then later moved over the mountains into Switzerland and into the Rhine Valley. Jewish converts that later left in the 1500s traveled everywhere as they faced fewer constraints but they too were considered "Africans" or blended people as their ancestors had fled into North African and Moorish regions after the expulsion from Jerusalem and many were darker than the blond blue eyed northern Europeans. Western Germany/ eastern France was one of the havens for people of different cultures and religions as was Holland, that is why the Pilgrims selected it as a home. Another area where land was open and available was Northern Ireland and surprisingly there are many "Dark Irish" and some pictures show Irish with very curley black hair and short stature one would not expect. I think it possible some of these people had Jewish roots and their families had moved into areas of Great Britain in the 1500-1600s and later into Northern Ireland where settlement was encouraged and land was open. Most of these were likely converso or Jewish/Christian convert families not those following the Jewish faith. Even before the Inquisition the Romans mixed people of Europe with people of Asia and Africa. The boot of Italy is not that far from North Africa and that area was settled by Europeans before the Roman conquest and the time of Christ DNA only confirms this blending of people and cultures that has been going on for thousands of years. In a message dated 2/23/2010 7:15:33 A.M. Pacific Daylight Time, [email protected] writes: The recent ancestral origin for the Thoma(s) family on familytreedna.com shows a preponderance of connections to Jewish ancestry on 12 markers. Not a large percentage when taken from total individual countries that we matched (11 out of 12 markers) but when compared with 71 total matches (11 out of 12 markers) in the countries of Belarus, Germany, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Russian Federation, Slovakia and the Ukraine, 29 have identified themse lves as Ashkenazi. I thought that was pretty interesting so decided to read a little more about the Ashkenazi and found it even more interesting considering that the Blankenbeckers and Thomas family were from the Bishopric of Speyers and that both families are in the E1b1b group. >From Wikepedia Ashkenazi Jews, also known as Ashkenazic Jews or Ashkenazim are the Jews descended from the medieval Jewish communities along the Rhine in Germany from Alsace in the south to the Rhineland in the north. Ashkenaz is the medieval Hebrew name for this region and thus for Germany. Thus, Ashkenazim or Ashkenazi Jews are literally "German Jews." Later, Jews from Western and Central Europe came to be called "Ashkenaz" because the main centers of Jewish learning were located in Germany. (See Usage of the name for the term's etymology.) Ashkenaz is also a Japhetic patriarch in the Table of Nations (Genesis 10). Many Ashkenazi Jews later migrated, largely eastward, forming communities in non German-speaking areas, including Hungary, Poland, Lithuania, Russia, Ukraine, Eastern Europe, and elsewhere between the 11th and 19th centuries. With them, they took and diversified Yiddish, a basically Germanic language with Hebrew influence (see Jewish language). It had developed in medieval times as the lingua franca among Ashkenazi Jews. The Jewish communities of three cities along the Rhine: Speyer, Worms and Mainz, created the SHUM league (SHUM after the first Hebrew letters of Spira, Warmatia and Magentza). The SHUM-cities are considered the cradle of the distinct Ashkenazi culture and liturgy. Although in the 11th century, they comprised only 3 percent of the world's Jewish population, at their peak in 1931, Ashkenazi Jews accounted for 92 percent of the world's Jews. Today they make up approximately 80 percent of Jews worldwide.[5] Most Jewish communities with extended histories in Europe are Ashkenazim, with the exception of those associated with the Mediterranean region. The majority of the Jews who migrated from Europe to other continents in the past two centuries are Ashkenazim, Eastern Ashkenazim in particular. This is especially true in the United States, where most of the 5.3 million American Jewish population[6] is Ashkenazi, representing the world's single largest concentration of Ashkenazim. Note: it must have been many centuries ago because the Thomas family does not match anyone on 25 markers <sigh> other than ourselves. Take care.

Nona's request re her ancestry and her last request "How?" came at the right time. I had just returned from my afternoon of volunteering in the Northwest Arkansas Gen. Soc. Collection at the Public Library in our county seat. In the past few weeks, I have gradually begun to sense that there are a number of folks coming in that were just starting out on their quest. Usually, a volunteer greets the patron, asks what they would like to find, and then, "Do you have a library card?" The card is free for residence of the county, and a temporary one is available to non-residents. We get through all that. I show them how to access Ancestry and Heritage Quest in the library and explain how to access Heritage Quest at home. I am seeing a number of folks coming back the next week totally frustrated. I am realizing how I gradually got into all of the things we use today, 2010. It didn't come about all at once, but gradually. I also am realizing that money is a serious problem for many folks in what is one of the highest per capita cities in the U.S. "Waltons' hometown." All this is to say, that I am trying to learn I need to teach not suggest to those who get sort of a blank stare on their face when I mention some of the research online sites. It came to a head yesterday when a close friend came in totally frustrated. He is trying the free 14 day Ancestry trial. "I've wasted a week." So many from out of county are telling me they are not near a library that has Heritage Quest for home use nor Ancestry in-house. In other words some of us are very fortunate to have been on the ground floor of all these online resources as they grew. If you have been a Family History Library online user and haven't tried it in a few years, try it. I find myself still floating around trying to find what use to be a touch of a key. If you got that far, what I posted was what I found in the 1880 census using Family Search, the LDS Church genealogical site. Good searching. Wish I could make the reunion, but health problems, the cat more than me, keeps me from traveling. Cary
