Yes, exactly. Warren Motz Koher, son of John Andrew Kohler, is my great grandfather. Is this information you already had, or did you have to look it up? This Andrew Kohler, native of Adams County is the one that I have a birthdate of 1795. This is the Andrew that I'm trying to link to the York Kohlers. Anna Maria Brenishols has been a mystery, I have her parents as John (b. 1771 d.8/8/1827) md to Anna Maria. I have not been able to find any other members of this family other than a brother and sister of Anna Maria. Admittidly, I was looking for Brannishols, that might have been my problem. Do you have anything else on Brenishol/Brannishol? I have the manuscript in a Word document that I will try to remember to bring to work tomorrow. I will probably just attach it and send you an email directly, unless you would like it sent another way. Thanks for your Word document, I can't wait to go home and go through it!
