In Amwell township, Hunterdon county, there was a German church in the present village of Ringoes.

My maternal grandmother was a HANN but the other lines are much farther back in my mother's line. Much of my information has been obtained from individuals and sources mentioned on the NJHUNTER-L list for which I am very grateful. Looking through Bill Hartmann's CD's is like a "stroll down memory lane" of my mother's ancestry. Thanks again Bill.
