The families I am >interested in are the GROVES, STEELE, FORINGER, WILES, SNYDER, STROTT, [snip] Hi Jeff, I am descended from Joseph (Jost) WILES who came from Germany to Sugarcreek Twp., Armstrong Co., PA. He was born 1744 and died 5 Aug 1826 in Sugarcreek Twp. His children were Catharine, Frederick, John, Henry, Jacob, Mary, George, Margaret and Johan Peter. Might this be your WILES family also? Jim
