Wendy, Could you please do a look up on the name Newmeyer- Newmire and other variations. Thank you very much. Phyllis

Nancy, Here is what is listed:. William Bennet, of Hammondsworth, in the County of Middlesex, yeoman, and Rebecca, his wife. Arrieved in this river the 9th Month, 1683, in the ship the "jeffery," of London. The Mr., Thomas Arnold. Elizabeth Bennet, daughter to William Bennet, late of this County of Bucks, and now wife to the aforesaid Richard Lundy. Came from Longford, in the County of Middlesex, in the ship the "Concord" of London. The Mr. William Jefferay. Arrived in this river the 8th, Month, 1683. - These were taken from a partial list of families who resided in Bucks Co., PA, prior to 1687. Luke Sexton in consideration of [symbol for British pound goes here]16: paid at his request to George Emlen jr. and James Benzet adm. of Robert Dawson deceased. indents himself servant to John Potts, Indian trader for four years from August 2nd 1746: customary dues. - This was from an account of servants bound and assigned before James Hamilton, Mayor of Philadelphia. I hope that this helps some. Happy Holidays! Wendy

Eileen, I agree with you. I have a subscription and would not be able to really do any research with out it. I live in Canada and having a subscription is the only way I am able to continue my research, as I live so far from the areas of information that I need - MD, WV, PA, VA, NC. I only make a few trips home each year and spend most of my time when I do go home catching up with my family and friends. I had previously subscribed to Godfrey, but they stopped providing access to Heritage Quest - which was what I needed, as I don't have local libraries here that you can access it through. For some of us - having a subscription is the only way we can continue researching without paying a professional to do it for us. That is just my 2 cents. Happy Holidays! Wendy

Hello Lee: I checked PA German Pioneers. No Deetz. A George Christof and a Johann Christopher DIETZ. I checked another book as well. Several Dietz, but no Deetz there either.

Wendy, Could you do a search for any HALDERMAN, as well as George Croghan, 1720-1782. The latter would have arrived about 1741.

Wendy-- would you kindly look for Bennett (Bennet, Benet) in the passenger lists? I'd appreciate it.

"Nancy" Uphold first - There are two references to the subject in question on Ancestry's World Tree...one is for Nancy Jane Uphold born in 1870 and the other is Nancy Lee Uphold married to Edwin Charles Kitzmiller whose parents are still living. Obviously, neither one of these are the Nancy you are seeking. But, if anyone is in Salt Lake City and planned to visit the LDS library and only spend a couple of hours there you will find you have made a grave error in judgement. Even a couple of days or possibly weeks would be too little time. The sheer volume of data held there in books and microfilm is staggering and incomprensible to anyone that has only ventured into their local library or local LDS center. And while I am on the subject allow me to say that I do understand that for many the added cost of the Ancestry.com's additional subscriptions is difficult to absorb for many when costs for daily needs is rising constantly. With that said, the continued addition of databases to the website including, but not limited to, digitized books, passenger lists and British, Scottish and Irish genealogical data...is well worth the cost. None of this would be possible if not for knowledgeable professionals filming and uploading along with coding, etc. for websearching on their servers. Which also do not come cheap. Ancestry.com is used by researchers all over the world and the requirements for sustaining the volume of records is great and does not come without cost. Although we would like to cling to the thought that genealogical information should be free and open to everyone that is not realistic. The information and personal contacts I have gained from being a member of Ancest! ry.com and the use of Rootsweb is invaluable and I will continue to resubscribe as long as I am financially able to. I don't work for my employer for free and I am at a loss as to why so many feel that Ancestry.com employees should. That old saying, "You get what you pay for" is absolutely true in this case. My parting thought is, if not Ancestry, then who? If they did not exist, the void would be incalculable in my opinion. Ok, I'm stepping down off my soapbox now. Happy Holidays to all my fellow researchers and "cousins"! Eileen Stratton

Sam We'll fly to Salt Lake City and rent a car -- plan to spend about a week. Will most likely spend 2-3 days with cousin Charlotte Stewart & her family (John Caspar and Laura Kimmet Hetrick's 2nd g-granddau through their dau Matilda Hetrick Shunk). Also have a business associate/friend that moved from the Sacramento area to Ogden. Soooo, if I can't get some immediate assistance with "Nancy" from Bavaria, I will not spend a lot of time. Would anyone by any chance have a record of Conrad Hederich/Hetrick & wife Anna Maria "Nancy" Upphold leaving Germany in 1959 (Maybe from Bremmen to Baltimore)? I read where they came to America on their honeymoon. Conrad was a coachman in H-Darmstadt at the time they married. Their first child Charles Conrad was b. in MD. Lois

Hi Lee, I have the following listings: Deeds, Frederic - shows a servant or apprentice bound and assigned before Hon. John Gibson, Mayor of Philadelphia in 1772, and the listing reads as follows: Dec. 10th - Philip William Smith last from Rotterdam to Frederic Deeds of Philadelphia There are also listings for the following: Servants Bound and assigned before James Hamilton, Mayor of Philadelphia: Jan. 20, 1746 - Mary Reckiner, in consideration of sundry sums of money expended on her account by Mary Johnson, of Wiccacoo, indents herself a servant to the said Mary Johnson for three years from this date. Customary dues. Thats the closest listings that I have. Other close names listed are: Reincke, Abraham and Sarah Reineck/Reineek: John Chritn., Ludwig, Mary Maria Elizabeth Richter: John; John C. Richterin, Ann Let me know if any of the above list are of interest. Happy Holidays! Wendy

There's a Family History Center in Hancock.

Hi everyone, I own a copy of "Emigrants to Pennsylvania 1641-1819: A Consolidation of Ship Passenger Lists from the Pennsylvania Magazine of History and Biography"; edited by Michael Tepper. I would be glad to try and do look-ups from this book, if it would help anyone out. Wendy

Hi Wendy, Would you please check for any Deetz. I am looking for Christian Deetz. His name may have been listed as Dietzet or some varation that looks close. Also looking for Recknor. Varations can be Reckner, Rickner, etc. Thank You and have a wonderful holiday.

I'm hoping I can get an assistant to help me and find right off the bat if there is anything on Nancy. I plan to take at least a week to tour -- I can afford a few hours at the library.

I have used their facilites over the years, and if you have a Morman church near you, I would go there first and get a better idea of what you want to do when you get to Salt Lake City. In fact, I think you can do anything there you can do in Salt Lake, and save yourself the trip. Sam I was thinking I'd take a look at the World Family Tree that I couldn't access in Ancestry without paying the additional fee to see if I could find out anything on Conrad's wife Anna Maria "Nancy" Uphold from Bavaria. My original thought was just to step in there to check it out. I'm going to Salt Lake City to meet a new cousin that contacted me several months ago. Her name is Charolette Powell. Her great-grandmother was Matilda Hetrick Shunk (wife of Francis Shunk), daughter of John Hetrick and Laura Kimmet of the Cover. She's the 2nd great-granddaughter of Johannes Caspar Hederich/Hetrick my great-father's younger brother. Conrad was the 2nd child and Johannes Caspar was the 7th. Lois
