hello all.. just got back from annapolis... found a little more imformation to expand my scheifler inquiry.. in 1780 the records show peter klein/ son of jacob klein brother of my george adam cline married anna maria erlebach at the Frederick Lutheran church and george scheifler is listed as witness to the wedding, and as Peter's step-father, jacob having died c. 1777 records now for the Middletown (Mitteldoun) Zion Lutheran church continue to mention george scheifler and his wife Maria Magdelena until about 1799 george and magdelena appear as the god-parents for several children there is also listed a/// Catherine Scheifler who stands as god-parent for a daughter born to Peter and Anna Maria Klein. is anyone researching any of these people or have any imformation about G. Scheifler and his wife Maria Magdelena..? my assumption is that Catharina Scheifler is George's daughter from his previous marraiage? jay cline --------------------------------- Blab-away for as little as 1¢/min.
