For anyone interested, Johannes Keim's will is now available online. Don Kimes and I worked together transcribing this will.... MANY THANKS to Don for his help! And thanks to RootsWeb for making the site available for posting items such as this! You may read Johannes's will at: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/gc/surnames/k/e/KEIM/wills/10014 And, BTW, if some of you have other wills in your possession, why not type them and post them on the GenConnect boards for wills.

Some of you may be at a point where you need some ideas on HOW to better organize your findings and information you've saved on your computer. Ancestry.com has a helpful article on file management titled, "UNTANGLING YOUR FOLDERS." This article, by Drew Smith, may be found at: http://www.ancestry.com/library/view/columns/digital/digital.asp Look for Drew Smith's name or the title "Untangling Your Folders." Don't know how long they keep these articles online, so if you like what you read you may want to print it now!

Looking for information on George Keim - b: 1733 - Oley, Berks, Pennsylvanis - d: ? - m: abt 1765 - Oley, Berks, PA to Elizabeth Geiger - had 5 children: Henrich, Samuel Henry, John, Susanna and George. Hope to hear from someone. Jan Keim

Found kind of a neat map, brousing the Northumberland Co GenWeb site. http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/pa/northumberp/map3.jpg If someone would take a look.... I see the Schuylkill River. So is Manatawny Creek the one right below the "T" in the "BERKS COUNTY" label on the map? Kind of looks like the name! Or am I looking too far up the river? Perhaps the next map listed is a better one. http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/pa/northumberp/map4.jpg

1890 U.S. FEDERAL CENSUS FRAGMENT These records have been extracted from the remaining population schedules for the 1890 Federal Census, which was destroyed by a fire at the Commerce Department in Washington, DC on 10 January 1921. The surviving fragments consist of 1,233 pages or pieces, including enumerations for fragments of Alabama, the District of Columbia, Georgia, Illinois, Minnesota, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, South Dakota, and Texas. The records of only 6,160 of the 62,979,766 people enumerated survived the fire. The original 1890 census enumerated people differently than ever before that time. Each family was enumerated on a separate sheet of paper. 1890 was the only year this was done. Source Information: Ancestry.com. "1890 U.S. Federal Census Fragment."

Was this strictly a list of Northampton Co, PA military personnel? If so, maybe a look at 1810 census index for Northampton Co, PA would list all the "J. KEIMs". Someone on this list must have some expertise on researching ancestors in the military!

With the info on Daniel Keim and mention of his brother, the brick layer, we have this much of this family: Descendants of David Keim (son of Samuel Keim) 1 David Keim b: 08 September 1808 Shoemakersville, Perry Twp, Berks Co, PA d: 03 January 1878 Danville, Montour Co, PA .. +Harriet Arnold b: 13 July 1813 d: 19 April 1887 2 Matilda KEIM b: 18 January 1831 2 Catharine Keim b: 23 November 1832 2 Susan KEIM b: 28 July 1834 2 Harriet KEIM b: 03 April 1836 d: November 1910 Chicago, IL 2 Anna M.

Just a reminder for those new to this list.... if you are researching in Berks Co, PA, a great online site, full of links, is: Donna's Berks County Genealogy Page http://hometown.aol.com/Nodoubtay/index.html

The bio on a Daniel Keim at: http://www.angelfire.com/pa/Stump44/93members2.html mentions his brother was a brick layer Karen posted a bio 27 Nov 1999, on John Keim, the "boy brick maker." This is probably the same John referred to in the bio on Daniel of Danville. See: http://searches2.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/ifetch2?/u1/textindices/K/KEIM+1999+409660716+F for Karen's post

There is a great bio on a Daniel Keim at: http://www.angelfire.com/pa/Stump44/93members2.html The article is near the bottom; use your "find" feature to look for "Daniel" then tell us which Daniel Keim this was. Thanks.
