Whenever there's a question about the history of some place in Europe, I try WIKIPEDIA, the free online encyclopedia -- it has the briefest, clearest information, plus sometimes maps and pictures. It comes in English as well as other languages. For info on East Prussia (in English), go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/East_Prussia . If this site address doesn't work for you as a link (due to my software), copy and paste it into your web browser. JRB On Thursday, March 27, 2008, at 05:35 PM, James Stone wrote: > ...

I have a HArriet Felthoff born about 1835 in Maxatawny, Berks County, Pa who married a Daniel Stoudt who was born about 1830 in Maxatawny. Daughter Sarah HAnnah or HAnnah Sarah was born in February 861 in Indiana. HAnnah married a Palm and died September 15, 1915 in Circleville, Ohio. I would appreciate any information on Harriet Felthoff and Daniel Stoudt. Pat
