This problem has been definitely vexing me. I have two different theories. She is my 3rd g grandmother, so this is a rather large piece of my tree A. If she also went under the name Henrietta Switzer, daughter of John Switzer and Eleanor Modler, for whom there is a notation that this is so, there is one little problem. There is also a notation that she was not married in 1851, three years after my 2nd g grandfather was born. This is too bad, as that line goes to Harriet Shier, then Charles and Dorothy. This would be the third instance of that couple in my tree. Talk about intermarriage! That line branches off to Michael Switzer, which would have me decending from both brothers who emigrated from the Palatinate. B. If her father was Michael Switzer, who is listed in the record of her marriage to my 3rd g grandfather Tobias Switzer, who is this Michael Switzer? There is a rather large number of them to choose from. Further to theory A, or rather, to its demise, a Henrietta Switzer married Christopher Legier on Feb 11, 1861, which is after her stated spinstership, but her father is supposed to be Tobias. Can anyone untangle this mess? I would be grateful. Take care, Paul Dicks, your distance cousin, possibly several times. _________________________________________________________________ Don't just Search.
