Always exciting to see a new surname list relating to one of my lines! I have one Griest ancestor, currently an orphan.... would certainly like to find a family for her. Mary Magdalena GRIEST. I have no birth or death dates for her. She married John George ENSMINGER, 24 June 1765, according to Raymond Martin Bell, "The Ensminger Family of Pennsylvania," rev. 1971. John George Ensminger was born 1743/44, PA, and died in York County, PA, 17 February 1815. I suspect the marriage was in York Co., as his parents lived there, in Newberry township, and as Paul Roth reports that his Griest ancestors were in York County at the right time...... Appreciate any help or clues in finding Mary's family! Sincerely, Bryce Stevens BStevens@netstarcomm.net www.familytreemaker.com/users/s/t/e/Bryce-H-Stevens/ Proud Sponsor of RootsWeb
