Hi List I have an ancestor names Johannes/John Fink who died abt. 1834 in Upper Bern Twp. I have his Will. In the attached documents to the Will it does not mention where he is buried. His sons and other family are all buried in St. Michael's # 1 Cemetery in Upper Bern Twp. He is not listed in their Cemetery Book. His wife Catherine Fink's burial place has not been located either. He was a farmer and lived with his son Peter Fink in Upper Bern Twp. Any suggestions as to how to find when he died and where he is buried? Thanks Marie =

You are correct that this is really my first foray into Mennonite situations, but it probably shouldn't be. "We" have know for quite a while that one of our ancestors is John "Hill" Landis out of Lancaster County (and early enough for Lancaster to have included Berks), so this is something that I personally have been putting off for quite some time. So, I appreciate the hint. I have a feeling that I'll be needing several more like it along the way !! :-) Thanks!! Joe Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

They've been around quite a while now and have a large collection in their library. It is hard when you're used to researching German Lutheran and Reformed people to learn how to research the Mennonites when there are no infant baptismal records. I'm in the same boat myself, but haven't done much yet on my Mennonite lines. Best of luck to you, Donna Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

In 1842 Lorenz Ebner died and is buried at Ben Salem Church in Carbon County, just east of the village of Andreas. His wife Salome is also buried at Ben Salem. Her tombstone state that she was born a Gehman. By 1804 Lorenz and Salome are found as communicants at Ben Salem. By 1806 their daughter Catharine is also receiving communion there. Catharine is my 3G-Grandmother. Since Lorenz does not show up in the 1793 Tax Lists for old Penn Township (Northampton County) but does show up there in the 1800 census, I'm guessing that he moved from Berks to (now) Carbon County between 1793 and 1800. Since Catharine received her first communion on record in 1806, I'm guessing that she was born before 1793. That leads me to believe that Lorenz and Salome were likely married in Berks County before moving to Carbon together as a family. However, I've yet to find any baptismal records for their children, and I also have not found any marriage record for them either. The Gehman family in Berks, as nearly as I can figure out, are early (and prominent) fixtures in the Mennonite movement there. It's also my understanding that Mennonites were Anabaptist by creed/tenet, and therefore did not baptize infants as did the Lutherans (as the Ebners were) or German Reformed. I don't know when Lorenz and Salome were married. I also do not know who Salome's parents were, but I'm guessing that they connect back to the Hereford Township Gehmans. It simply makes sense, as Mertz Church, as the township boundaries are today, isn't all that far out of Hereford Township (unless I'm completely mis-reading the maps I find). Any ideas as to where I could/should check? Joe Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

Betty, Can you share how you were able to copy articles from the Reading Eagle? I haven't figured that out yet. Thanks, Deb Stanish Reading, pA ----- Original Message ----- From: Jean Dillon <[email protected]> Yes Betty I got all the images and how to get them my self from now on. You have always been so much help to me.

Keith, That's good news, glad to hear it. I would hate to lose it. The print screen and crop method works well for pre Vista users, but Snip-it is so much better. Betty

If you can see it on the screen there is no way to block it. On 9/23/2010 3:27 PM, Betty Burdan wrote: > Deb, > > In Windows Vista and Windows 7.0 there is a new tool in > Accessories.

Deb, In Windows Vista and Windows 7.0 there is a new tool in Accessories. It is called Snip-It. It allows you to capture any on screen images and then save them to a jpg file. I'm sure the archives will soon figure out a way to block Snip-It, but so far it works just great. Betty

The one I sent (apparently to someone) were obtained by a combination of screen prints, pasting into an image processing program (Irfanview), cropping the article, putting them back together as panorama, and printing to a PDF Printer. If someone has an easier way I too would love to hear about it.

Jean, I hope you received my e-mails with the images of the articles you requested. I couldn't be certain I had your correct address. I used the address that appeared in your post, was that correct? Betty Burdan

Yes Betty I got all the images and how to get them my self from now on. You have always been so much help to me. I have COPD and am now living in a nursing home. I have been sick since the end of June I got a blood clot on my lung but now learning to control my breathing better. The home thinks I could go back out in my own apt. We will see. Right now I can't leave the grounds because of the insurance.
