What a great idea, Tim. I've saved the postings -- who knows when I'll need someone's help? My primary Adams County surnames are: HANNI/HANNIE, ZAUGG, YOST, REPPERT, OWENS, CARNALL, THOMAS. Some of the secondary surnames are: Riesen, Campbell, Aeschbacher, and Zurcher/Zuercher. The majority of these families came from Canton Bern, Switzerland, during the middle 1800's. Our primary locations were Monroe, Decatur (I was born in Decatur General), Berne, Bluffton, and especially Vera Cruz (I realize some of these are in Wells Co., but my ancestors spent a lot of time both places). ** SPECIAL REQUEST ** If anyone has information on Susanna Aeschbacher Frei Yost (1834-1927; widow of Albrecht Frei, re-married Johann Yost), please contact me -- her only surviving granddaughter (who is now in her 90's) was very close to Susanna, and I'd like to send her as much information as possible. Looking forward to swapping information with anyone with shared lines. Amy
