Bev & all, I found the book you mention in your letter. The URL is passed along purely to share the fantastic list of names & content info in the book. I have no connection to the publisher. I do admire their openness prior to selling the book. Wish all would do that! http://globalgenealogy.com/countries/canada/ontario/general/resources/101185.htm My interest, as some of you know, are the Stark, Switzer, Ruckle, Custer families of Garrett Co., Md. Isabella Custer's husband, Daniel Switzer, was the son of Henry Ruckle, Sr's 2nd wife, Rosina/Rosanna Sibert-Switzer, and lived with the Ruckles in his teen yrs. Would like to find a clue as to burial place of Peter P. Switzer d. btw. 1851 - 1856. He lived in Accident, Md,., in 1851, but was bapt. in Berlin, Pa. I will be online a lot now as my husband is going through chemo for cancer and I need the diversion during this trying time. Warm regards, Carolyn. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Beverly R.
