Author: marciarinehart Surnames: Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.northcarolina.counties.rowan/12388/mb.ashx Message Board Post: My husband Richard Rinehart has submitted his DNA to see if he can connect to other Rineharts or variations of that spelling such as Rhinehar(d)t, Reinhard, etc. Richard's ancestors lived in North Carolina in the Mecklenburg region in the mid-1700's and later migrated to Union County, Illinois in the 1800's. The genealogical "paper trail" has been proved. If there are any male Rineharts who descend from Andreas (Andrew) Rinehart (Reinhard), born about 1735, died February 1785, please consider having your DNA tested and submitted for links. Andreas' known children are John (born circa 1760 with Andreas' first wife), Andrew (born 1770 with Andreas' second wife Barbary), Jacob (born Aug. 16, 1773), Christian (born 1775), Susannah (born 1778), Christina (born 1780). Your help would be greatly appreciated. Marcia Rinehart Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
