Hi Loretta: Not sure how our gearhart's connect, but your maria Richner is the sister of Caroline Richner. Caroline Richner was married to Abram Gearhart who is my gg grandfather. My gearharts also resided in the jefferson, armstrong and indiana cos. I'm sure there is a connection, it may just take some digging to find it. Abram has been my brick wall for about a year now. Look forward to hearing from you.

Thanks so much, Jenn. It definitely appears we are from the same family line. Beyond Pennsylvania, I am finding my Gearharts very difficult to trace. Have you had any luck tracing them back to Germany?
