The 1800 census for Maiden Creek Twp, Berks Co, PA, DOES list a Valentine KEIM, with a Jacob KEIM living beside him. Both Valentine and the female in the household are listed age 45 and up. We've seen many KEIMs that lived to a ripe old age age. --- Eileen Brown <[email protected]> wrote: > > Some of the dates confuse me.

This might be a good time to remind everyone to search the archives for emails related to your line. I "googled" the key words from Eileen's email and found this post that has some leads: http://archiver.rootsweb.com/th/read/KEIM/1998-05/0895214387 __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

If you haven't checked the KEIM archives, here's how to conduct a search: 1. Click on this URL http://listsearches.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/listsearch.pl This takes you to the main page for ALL archives. 2. Type the name of the list you wish to search in the box. In our case, "KEIM". 3. Now you are at the location to search the messages posted to the Keim list. Using keywords of your choice, the search will find any message that has been posted to the list. But, it will only find exact matches to what you input. For example, if someone else spells the surname KIME and you search for KEIM, there will be NO match. On names, you may want to try searching by given or middle names instead. Searching by location is another possible option. The results will be as good as what you input to conduct the search. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
