There should be lots of material available on the Myers. Myers was/is a very prominent family in Hanover, York Co. I think the Hanover Shoe Co was started by a Myers.

Hi, I'm hoping someone will be able to help me! My husband's great grandfather William Myers volunteered as a scout during the Bannock Indian War of 1878. Unfortunately he was killed on 23 June 1878 during the Battle of Silver Creek in South/East Oregon. He left his widow, Cornelia Richardson Myers, and their 4 small children in the small mining town of Atlanta, Idaho. I was wondering if someone could possibly check to see if William's death was mentioned in a York Co. PA. Newspaper? Thank you so much for any information or clues no matter how small! Sincerely, Kathleen

Listers, I'm new to this list but not to the area. I am searching these surnames in York and Lancaster counties. FEUERSTEIN (Firestone, Feyerstein, Fyerstein, etc.) Nickel (Hans) Feuerstein, b. Mar 25, 1712 in Berg und Thal, Alsace, France, arrived with his family in Philadelphia, PA on Sept 24 1753 aboard the "Peggy". He was born and married in Berg und Thal, Alsace France where most of his children were also born according to the records of the Berg Lutheran Church. In 1760, about the same time his wife died, he acquired a 300 acre tract of land that adjoined the Pigeon Hills in Paradise Township, York Co., PA. After his wife died he remarried to Catherine HACKEN, widow respectively of John KUNTZ (1723-1753) of Heidelberg Township, York Co., PA and of Nicholas HACKEN (died 1758) of York Co., PA. Between 1760 and 1764 Nicholas and Catherine, his second wife, were associated with the Christ Evangelical Lutheran Church in York Town. NONNENMACHER (Nunnenmacher, Nunnemacher, Nonnemacker, etc.) Nickel FEUERSTEIN's first wife was Anna Catherina NONNENMACHER, b. Aug 02, 1711 in Berg und Thal, Alsace, France, daughter of Marcel Nonnenmacher, also of Berg und Thal, Alsace, France. I don't believe Catherina's family followed her to America but some cousins did. Would like to hear from anyone connected to this line. HOFF (Huff, Hough, deHoff, deHuff) Nickel and Catherina FEUERSTEIN had a daughter named Rosina, b. Mar 13, 1741/ 42 in Berg und Thal, Alsace, France, that married Philip HOFF Jun 01, 1768. He was born about 1743 and I am still looking for his parents. The couple lived in MD. by 1774 and were members of the St. Peter's Lutheran Church of Woodsboro (Woodsborough) near Frederick, MD. The couple later moved to Loudoun Co., VA. where their daughter married George Peter Werts. There was a HOFF family living in Codorus Twp in York Co. and a Hans Adam HOFF had a son Philip, although the Ancestral File at LDS gives his birth ca 1757 although that could be wrong. Adam was born in 1704 which would make him old enough to be my Philip's father. Currently I am looking to find Phillip HOFF's family and am always happy to share info on the others. ADAMS (Adam, Addam, Addams, Adem) I also am looking for evidence of an ADAMS couple that are the parents of Wilhelm (William) ADAMS that lived in Loudoun Co., VA and whose son George married Susannah WERTS the daughter of George Peter WERTS and Rosina HOFF. These ADAMS were Lutheran and not related to the English ADAMS of MA and VA and Philadelphia. Possibly they were from York or Lancaster as well. SCHEURER (Scherer, Scherr, Sherer, Sherrer, Shearer, Sheirer, Shirer, etc.) I also am researching the SCHEURER/SCHERER family in Berks Co., and other derivatives of that name such as SHEARER and SHERRER that also are found in Lancaster and York Co. as well as other areas of PA. Thanks for reading this far and I look forward to sharing info with all of you in the future. Happy Holidaze!

Dear Listers I have been assisted recently by one of the Assistant Librarians at the York County Heritage Trust located in E Market Street, York, PA. I have been seeking information on a photographer named W.C.Bell who I understand to have been active in Pennsylvania in the late 19th and early 20th Centuries. I have been told that there is a publication entitled "York Area Photographers, 1840-1997" which is available through the South Central Pennsylvania Genealogical Society. Can anyone tell me whether this society has an e-mail contact address as I would like to purchase the book but would like to ascertain what monies to send to cover costs, including postage ? Equally, if anyone can give me any other information about W.C.Bell, I would appreciate it. I have a photograph of a woman whose identity I do not know. The photograph is stamped with the name of the town Wilkes-Barre on the reverse of the mount, which is presumably where it was taken. The photograph comes from my mother's side of the family, with grand-parental surnames of Perry and Crutchlow. The Perrys came from Nottingham where they were involved in the lace-making trade and there are probable connections to Calais, France in the mid-nineteenth century and maybe to France at an earleier time as the name Perry can be found in french baptismal records. However, I have nothing as such to pin down the connection to Pennsylvania. Thanking you for taking the trouble to read this, Dave Hirons in a very wet and windy Coventry, Warwickshire, England
