Ray Schwartz: I see that you have the book: "History of York" by Gibson. If it is not too much trouble, could you look for the following names? They are all from York. If the names are not in an alphabetized index for easy reference, then I do not want you to go to any trouble searching through text. Ira A. Sechrist, b. 1845 Barbara Gabeling Caslow Sechrist, b. 1848 ( married John Keeney after Ira's death) Charles Augustus Sechrist ( their son) b. 1885 John Heckert b. about 1855 Henrietta Euler Heckert b. about 1855 I thank you so much. I have been stuck getting anything more about these relatives for a LONG time. Gloria

Gloria, Am pressed for time, but will check it on Sunday. It is indexed.

Gloria, Gibson's History of York County, Pa, 1886. Apologies for the delay. Ira not found as a SEACHRIST, SEACRIST, SECHRIST, nor as a SECRIST, although biographies for Rev L K Secrist, Jacob SEACRIST b 1829, and Jacob SECHRIST b. 1845 do exist. One Charles Sechrist mentioned, whose daughter Mary A. married in 1869 to Samuel CURRAN. We have a Charles Seachrist who served in the Civil War, page 706. We have a Charles F Sechrist, York city, who served as secretary of a board to establish a market in the south side of the city, 1878 (page 522) and Charles F Sechrist who served on the board (1886) of the Duke Street Methodist Episcopal church. And that's about as good as it gets. Lots of other first names. HECKERTS - the only two Johns were children of other parents. Sorry I couldn't have been of more help.
