(In the beginning, I was not careful to record references; figured I would remember WHERE the info came from!) Now, if there WAS a John H.

I found another John Henrich Keim, christened 04 December 1819 in Adams Co. Does anyone have a list of the KIME heads-of-household listed on the 1820 Adams Co, PA census? Cindy

Got these from another list-- interesting and informative-- These are really good sites for Census avalibility maps http://www.segenealogy.com/sgo03.htm http://www.segenealogy.com/sgo03_ga.htm

Does anyone have documentation on the birth of this John H. Kime? I have recently been to the Adams County Historical Society, located in the Lutheran Seminary Archives, in Gettysburg. Viewing the birth records of the Lutheran and Reformed Churches of Adams County, I found records of the baptisms of only three children born to any Johannes and Elizabeth Keim after 1800. They are as follows - Abraham Keim born 15 Oct 1815 (he died 6 Aug 1902) - My great-great-grandfather Margaretha Keim born 26 Jul 1825 Samuel Keim born 24 Mar 1828 Wouldn't you think that a twin of Abraham would have been mentioned in the church records? (There were also records of children born to a Johannes and Elizabeth Keim for about 40 years prior to 1800. I think we can safely assume these were not all born to the same parents, at least not the same mother.) Could there have been other children born between these three? If so, where were they baptized? Has anyone seen any records of baptisms in other churches for John Heinrich Kime, son of Johannes Keim? I would like to correspond with the person who originally found this John's birth date. Wilma Conway > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > Wondering IF John H.

One of our subscribers wrote me with doubts in what is commonly believed as the ancestry for his KEIM/KIME lineage. Following is the email, with my comments/ideas/facts/observations inserted: Subscriber writes: > > I have come to doubt that Henry Kime, who died in 1802 in Bath County, > VA, is the Heinrich Keim, son of Johannes Keim of Oley, PA. > Is it not true that several of Henry's children were christened in Frederick Co, MD? (or was it Frederickstown, MD?) Whichever, it isn't that far removed from Chester, Philadelphia, and Bucks Cos. where some of the older sons from Johannes's first marriage settled. Has anyone from the line tried to trackdown descendants of the two daughters from Henry's first marriage..... Christina (Kimes) Martingood and Catherine (Kimes) Deale? Also, Henry DID name one son Johann Heinrich Kime. (You know, JOHANN, maybe after Johannes?????) Of course Johann was a common name in those days! > > I don't have all the pages of the Keim and Allied Families papers, but > on one written in September 1900, it mentions other Keim names who came > from the Palatinate of the Circle of the Rhine, Germany. > At one time the early immigrants from the "Old Country" were posted to this list.

If one looks for the KEIM spelling in VA, I don't think you find any in the earlier days. In my husband's line, the NY branch used the KIME spelling, and the rest of the family moved to Ohio and used the KIME spelling. Our particular line moved on to Indiana and came to spell the name KIMES.

Does everyone remember the cemetery records site at http://www.interment.net/data/search.htm People keep adding records to this site so bookmark it so you can check back periodically.

Some of you know how your ancestors came to live in the specific places you've found them, but others are still looking for clues. An article in a recent newspaper genealogy column reminds us that 18th and 19th century pioneers moving west and south in the U.S. had to travel by boat or horse and wagon. They used these established roads to get to where they were headed: The Pioneers Road, over the Blue Ridge Mountains (U.S. 11 or Interstate 81) Great Valley Road, from New York to Carolinas Braddocks Road, from Cumberland, MD to Pittsburgh (U.S. 40) Forbes Road, from Harrisburg, PA to Pittsburgh (basic route of the PA Turnpike) National Road, from Cumberland, MD to Wheeling, WV to Vandalia, IL (following Interstate 70 from Wheeling to Vandalia) Fall Line Road, from Fredericksburg, VA through VA, NC, SC, and into GE (somewhat following U.S. 1) Mohawk Trail, from Albany, NY to Buffalo, NY (current route of NY Central RR) Later trails west of the Mississippi River included California, Oregon, Santa Fe, and Taos Trails The point of the article was that you MIGHT find clues to your ancestry by looking at the routes your ancestors PROBABLY used to get where they went. _____________________ Extended reading: Sites discussing roads used in early American history: discussion on migrations in VA, starts at Nr. 608 on this page: http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~george/johnsgermnotes/germhs25.html Early American Roads and Trails http://www-personal.umich.edu/~cgaunt/etc/v98i77.txt Early American Roads and Trails http://www.geocities.com/gentutor/trails.html Pioneer Migration Routes Through Ohio http://members.aol.com/traltman/migration.html

Hello everyone. Did everyone else receive anything about this 'Virus' that is supposed to be going around? I have received the message several times.

Below this message, is the link that I checked out. Like I said, I think that everyone needs to read up on this supposed virus, before deleting anything.

Hi, Cindy, I don't have any record of children from the second marriage. However, two obits for John Bartlett Wickersham say he is survived by wife, Anne, and several children. They were written in the Philadelphia Public Ledger of 3-26 and 3-28 of 1892. The kids from the first marriage would not be considered "children" I would think in 1892, so I suspect there were children of the second marriage. I have a note that there may have been another daughter, Sarah Emma b in 1858, also. I would be interested if you find out anything further. Even though the Wickersham book is finished (Heritage sent it to the printer this week), I am still adding information on the line as it comes in.
