Hello everyone on this fine snowy weekend (at least here in the Mid-Atlantic States were we are getting record breaking snowfall)! Since it looks like I'm snowed in I had a chance to do some updating on the Adams County, PA GenWeb site. A little bit of everything and mostly updates in the home page links to County, Churches, newspapers and Civil War. I'm sure there are probably other dead-links and more to be added -- just let me know. I did add a new link on the home page: "Reunions". This is a genealogy related reunion, seminars, conferences happenings link in the general south central PA/north central MD geographical area. Please feel to submit them to me. Thanks! Curt Sanders County Coordinator

Hello Fellow Listers: Please forgive this personal message. I recently had to get a new computer and I lost all of my e-mail addresses. Kay STAUB - could you please e-mail me? Thanks in advance! Donna HELLER ZINN of Newville, Cumberland Co., PA.

Hello Fellow Listers: This just came through to me. Though someone on the list might be interested. Happy Valentines Day! Donna HELLER ZINN of Newville, Cumberland Co., PA. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Previously published in SOMEBODY'S LINKS NEWSLETTER: Genealogical Treasures Found, Vol. 5, No. 5, 13 February 2003. http://www.petuniapress.com/ GENEALOGICAL TREASURES FOUND o STAUFFER Bible, Fraktur Marriage & Birth Record; Berks Co., Pennsylvania; Item # 2507376595; Seller: rs-windsor Auction ends: Feb-16-03 11:36:19 PST Beautifully executed late 19th century marriage and birth record within a large Pennsylvania German Bible. The work is signed on the bottom of the birth record page by the scrivner: "George E. FRANCK, Siesholzville Berks Co. Pa." These records were likely executed shortly after the September 1873 birth date of daughter Anna Matilda STAUFFER. The parents were Franklin STAUFFER, born in Oley Township April 1 1844, and Malinda Rebecca STAUFFER, born in Pike Township in 1852. [Editor's Note: I read the marriage record as being that of Franklin STAUFFER and Malinda REICHERT? on 11 January 1873. The family record appears to me to begin with Franklin STAUFFER, [son of] Henry STAUFFER and frau Anna [maiden name] WITT, [who was born] 1st? April 1844. [Next entry] Malinda Rebecca STAUFFER, [daughter of] John REICHERT? and frau Sarah [maiden name] REICHERT?, [who was born] 24th May 1852. [Last entry] Anna Matilda STAUFFER [born] 30 June 1873 [and baptized] 26 September 1873,] The Bible also contains several 19th century family photos, taken by Reading Photographers, in the back. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2507376595

In the booklet "Digges' Choice" by Jan Bankert there are several references to a THOMAS ADAMS and one to a THOMAS ADAMS, SR. plus maps showing the location of the property. The booklets sell at the Adams County Historical Society and probably WillowBend book store.

I am researching Thomas ADAMS b 7/5/1735 m Magdalena _______ c1754 They attended Conewago Chapel and he is buried there in the second row. He died 12/5/1776. Some of their property was in McSherrytown. If anyone knows of this family, please contact me. Thank you, Doris Snyder [email protected]

I am researching William WITHEROW b Aug., 1731 died 6/4/1781 Lived in Adams Co. m Sarah McFINLEY b 7/22/1747 d 9/22/1833 Does anyone know of this family? I am looking for the parents of Sarah and they probably dropped the Mc from their name and went to FINLEY by this time. Any help is appreciated!!! Doris Snyder [email protected]

Hello, Since the Reed Family connections seem to be a hot topic at present, I thought I would try a little "fishing." I have a gg grandfather named John Reed who was living in the Adams County/Hanover, PA, York County areas. I have found that John Reed is a rather common name and have not been able to connect my John Reed with his family. On the off chance some list follower may have some information to share, let me introduce him. John Reed, born about 1814 in Pennsylvania, died May 6, 1898. He married Mary Dubs about 1836, probably at Emmanuel Reformed Church in Hanover, PA, since the Dubs Family is well established there. She died June 13, 1868. They had eight children: 1) John Emanuel Reed. 2) Sarah Reed, who married Isaac Shaffer. 3) Lucinda Reed, who married a Senft. 4) Jacob Reed. 5) Harriet Reed, who married Michael Hoke. 6) Levi Reed, who married Mary Oaster and, after her death a Susan? 7) Maria E. Reed, who married Jerome Samuel Weaver. 8) Amanda Reed, who married a Hartman. After the death of Mary Dubs, he married a Rebecca? If any of this connects, please get back to me. Regards, S. David Weaver [email protected]

Looking for anyone in Bonneauville/Gettysburg area who is willing to go to St. Joseph the Worker Catholic Cemetery and take pictures of my great grandparents graves. If willing, please let me know and I will provide the details. Thanks, Mickie Teston
