Welcome to the new Glattfelder Email List at Rootsweb. This list is for genealogical and family history discussions for the Glattfelder families including the surnames: Glatfelter, Gladfetler, Glatfelder, Clodfelter, Clotfelter, Glotfelty, Glotfelter, etc. We made the move to the new Mailman system at Rootsweb last week. We also moved subscriptions around from the various associated families into one list (this one). We appreciate your patience. We do have an online family database associated with this list which can be found at: http://midatlantic.rootsweb.com/familyhart/ We also have a family DNA project that we would like participants from the various family spellings to participate in. We do not have any participants yet in this particular project. For more information, please see: http://midatlantic.rootsweb.com/familyhart/DNA/glattfelder.html and http://midatlantic.rootsweb.com/familyhart/DNA/PADutch/PaDutch.htm We look forward to your discussion about our family's history.

The FamilyHart database was updated last night with over 9,000 new names bringing our online total to over 488,000 linked names. There are now over 100,000 Glattfelder descendants in the database. You can see our database at: http://www.linkhitlist.com/cgi/LHL_E.exe?G2L&LinkNo=1456853&ListNo=30907 Thanks!

We have now kicked off Y-Chromosome DNA Genealogy Projects for the following surnames: Hartman(n) et al (results online for this project) Schurch/Shirk/Sherrick et al Glattfelder/Glotfelty/Clodfelter et al Brenneman et al Kauffman/Coffman et al Kohr/Core et al Myers/Meyer et al Stanger/Stenger et al (results pending for this project) Sturm/Storm et al We have set up a homepage for these projects. We currently have results back for the Hartman project online. Other of our family surnames may follow. You may take a look at: http://midatlantic.rootsweb.com/familyhart/DNA/ We also invite other Pennsylvania Dutch families who have current Y-Chromosome DNA projects, who have public websites containing results to add links on the above site. To be included however, the surname must be found in the FamilyHart database which contains over 471,000 names (467,000 names online). You can check the FamilyHart database at: http://midatlantic.rootsweb.com/familyhart/ Thanks!

We are kicking off a Glattfelder families Y-Chromoshome DNA Project. We would love to get a male from each known US spelling of the surname (Glotfelty, Clodfelter, Glatfelter, Gladfelter, Musser, Glotfelter, etc) to participate. We would also love to obtain participants from Europe as well. For more information on this project and the cost to participate please visit: http://midatlantic.rootsweb.com/familyhart/DNA/glattfelder.html We have recently done this for our Hartman family and have some results back. To see what you can expect in the way of results, please see: http://midatlantic.rootsweb.com/familyhart/DNA/Hartman/Don%20Hartman.htm Thanks!

We have just updated our database with over 10,000 new names bringing a total of over 450,000 linked online. Most of the new names come from Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Maryland. Many of the new names are from the Kauffman, Hartman, Glatfelter, Burket, Glotfelty, Dierdorff, Kohr, Sturm and Witmer families. You can visit our database at: http://midatlantic.rootsweb.com/familyhart/ Thanks!

Last night we updated the FamilyHart database with over 7,000 new names bringing the total number of linked names online to over 440,000. Most of these names are of Pennsylvania Dutch extraction. The families are found throughout the U.S. however; in every state of the Union. To see if your families may be in our database, please take a look at: http://midatlantic.rootsweb.com/familyhart/ FYI- Right now we are concentrating on entering Kauffman-Coffman families. We have a long ways to go however. The next update in December should have several thousand more. Thanks!

Received the article and have enjoyed reading it. Very much appreciate your sharing the information with family members. My descent is from the sister, Elizabeth Rhyne, of your wife's Johan Rudolf Glattfelder. Elizabeth and Jacob Rhyne probably moved to NC in the fall of 1763; he acquired land there in the spring of 1764. Elizabeth's brothers lived pehaps 75 miles away in Rowan County, in the area now in Davidson County. Sherry's George Clodfelter moved over to old Lincoln County (now divided into Lincoln, Catawba, Gaston, and the eastern half of Cleveland). I regret I have no information about his wife. His children mostly married into German families in the area: Lutz, Wilfong, Deal, Schrum, but children John and Frances married into the Abernathy/Abernethy family (a quite large family in the eastern area of the county). In general, the German-speaking families in NC were from either Switzerland or from the upper Rhine area of Germany. A fairly new finding is that the husband of George's oldest granddaughter, George Rinck, was the son of Johan Frantz Rinck, a Hessian soldier who found his way to Catawba County. My husband descends from his comrade Hessian soldier, Henry Dagenhardt, who came to Rowan/Davidson County and then to Catawba. The Abernethy descendants of George Clodfelter mostly stayed in Lincoln/Gaston County. A curious result is that some of them married descendants of Jacob and Elizabeth Rhyne. I have to wonder if these knew of the distant relationship. That didn't get passed down in the larger Rhyne family. Around 1990 Rhyne researchers and Dr. Charles Glatfelder established that Jacob Rhyne's wife Elizabeth was a Glattfelder, daughter of Johan Peter. Fortunately we were able to attend the 1993 Reunion, celebrating 250 years in America. We were present this year also. Many Rhyne descendants remain in Gaston/Lincoln County and surrounding areas. I read the Gaston Gazette on-line each morning, and send the relevant obits to the Hartmans for the midatlantic.rootsweb.com/familyhart database. There are several obits each week of Rhyne descendants or their spouses. Yesterday I sent an obit of a Clodfelter/Abernathy descendant. You may know that the Cloninger family who settled in Hughes Springs, Cass Co., Texas, descends from Jacob and Elizabeth Rhyne, through their oldest daughter, Maria Magdalena, who married Adam Cloninger. They, and also I, descend from son Adam, Jr., although I have never met any of this family. We live in Allegany County in western Maryland, not far from many descendants of Solomon Glattfelder/Glotfelty, the first cousin of Johan Rudolf and his sister Elizabeth.
