Hi, You might try this person. She has a lot of House information on Mathias House's ancestors. I have information that she sent me but have never combined it into my file yet. I actually have not gotten it combined into one file yet as it was sent in numerous parts. I wanted some more proof before adding it to my own file, but it is a place to start and something to work with. She sent me information Sunday on the marriage of Matthias House and Margueriete Jaekler. I know I spelled that wrong because I didn't look it up before typing in. Please excuse. This Matthias is the original immigrant ancestor. She sent a copy of a ship passenger list and marriage list. I would like to know where you got the information on Peter V. Jarvis's parents. It would give me a clue where to look to verify it. Hope this helps.
