Karen, Do you have the name of the man in Berks County descended from Hinnershitz? He might know something to help Lorraine. There were Hinnershitzes in Reading and they might have been more inclined to change the name than Hendershots. I hope you weren't offended by my e-mail about your message to Linn...just didnt think that was what you wanted to say. Thanks for all the great stuff you've been sending. Annette
