Hello Everyone: I have added close to 1,000 Ancestors to the 1600s Ancestor Data Base. The total is now over 19,500 and most all are proven Ancestors with descendants living today. I have also added several National Societies who have proven many of these Ancestors. This should be a big help for those of you trying to prove your lines. You will find the 1600s Ancestor Data Base at; http://business.gorge.net/aff/ While there be sure to read the INFORMATION & HELP page so you understand the codes that I have used. Enjoy Ryan Jackson Data Base Manager

To Barbara ??.By this time I am sure you responded to my previous POSTING re Henry/Heinrich Schmiedel and my friends of the same surname. If so, would you kindly repeat your response. Unexpectedly, I failed to subscribe to the Digest listing of this page BEFORE unsubscribing from the -L-list, and wasn't successful with getting on the Digest until today. So I have missed all the postings since the 23rd of Feb. Thank you for your efforts. Aufwiederschreiben Bill Rietdorf P.S. I spoke with the Schmiedel's here a couple days ago, and they said they've got a lot of data on a lot of Schmiedel's from their own research lately.

If you are still doing lookups, could you please look for: Herman Behrens, Bremen to NY--supposedly he arrived New York May 16, 1881, but I couldn't find it looking in the volumes. and Caroline Sophie Maeier, port of New York, supposedly arrived July 1, 1884, can't find this either.

Jo Ann, I don't have any information at all about Mary Ann Myers. I feel certain that we do have a connection somewhere, but the problem is going to be finding out where the connection lies! It seems too much of a coincidence for our Myers families to be living so close in such a small community and not be related in some fashion.

Linda, Thank you so much for this information. My great-great-grandfather, Israel Myers, was a firefighter in 1905. I don't know if he was in Fort Wayne, Huntertown or Leo, though.

Is there anyone in Allen County who does obit lookups? I would like to get the obit for Alvina D. Bennhoff who died on Jan 28, 1943 and was buried in Lindenwood on Jan 30, 1943 "Records from 1881-1970 have been photocopied and are available along with a history of the church at the Allen County Library." This quote was taken from the Allen County Website and is referring to the Zion Lutheran Church records. William Bennhoff was a teacher at the Zion school and had four children while teaching at the school. (Elsie, Eugene, Arnold, and Ruth) I have information that Elsie was born on May 26, 1899. The other three children should have been born within the next ten years or so. The information for the other three should be in the baptism section of the church records. I would like to get the full name and birthdate. Can anyone get this information for me from the library? David Reinhardt 2309 Greenbriar Boulevard Pensacola, Florida 32514 davidreinh@aol.com

Karen, Usually the death certificate has the undertaker on it as well as the final resting place. I have a 1945 Indiana Death certificate and in the lower left corner is information on burial & Funeral Director.

Can anyone tell me what funeral homes were in Perry Township (Huntertown) or near Leo in Cedar Creek Township? Also, my great-grandfather, EMANUEL A. MYERS, died in a tuberculosis hospital in Fort Wayne (Lawton Nursing Home?) on December 3, 1952, and is apparently buried in Allen County Cemetery off Carroll Road west of Lima Road. Can anyone tell me how to find out more about his burial? Sloan Funeral Home handled the arrangements. I would like to find out if there was a funeral. The obit from the newspaper is of no use. I strongly suspect that the Edward A. Myers, d. 1952, buried in Huntertown Cemetery in Perry Township (where my Myers' ancestors lived) might really be Emanuel A. Myers. I need to try and get more information on this. Thanks for any help you can give me, Karen
