Diana: Not sure if the earlier request came through or not -- If you have an opportunity, can you please look for any Buchter / Bouchter / Boughter family members? This was my maiden name & I know there were families in the Reading / Lebanon areas -- my grandfather John had a brother William but I know next to noting about that part of the family.

Diana says in part, ----- Original Message ----- From: "Diana Quinones" <audianaq@msn.com> To: "jdroppel" <jdroppel@aristotle.net>; "PABerks" <paberks@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, March 23, 2008 2:20 AM Subject: [PABERKS] lookup RABBOLD/var > There is a remark [Veinau, "Schwaebish Hall" May 18, 1753] I am not sure > what that means - maybe when he emigrated? > audianaq@msn.com The remark shown above is confusing. Johann Jacob Rappoldt arrived in America on 11 Aug 1750. He married Anna Maria Margaretha Meiser on 18 May 1753. Following is an excerpt from my book "A REED BY MANY OTHER NAMES', Volume Three, a copy of which may be seen at the Berks County Historical Society. John Jacob was born in Veinau near Schwaebisch Hall, Wuerttemberg, Germany, according to his birth record which I got from a professional genealogist in Schwaebisch Hall, who found it in Tuengenthal Evangelical Parish. The record is so hard to read that a supplement was added on the other side to tell us what is written there. This translates thus: "Supplement to the copy on the other side: John Jacob, Georg Michael Rappolt, house companion of Veinau, and Magdalena, conjugal housewife, legitimate daughter (sic) was born on 12 Feb (1726): about 6 A. M., baptized the same day, sponsored by John Jacob Kochendoerfer, a (?) captain of Veinau and Johann Georg Graeter. a (?) subject of Veinau." There is a note which says that "daughter" must be a slip of the pen and that it should read "son". A second note says that a better copy cannot be made, and that the book will be restored. A house companion was a poor man who owned no real estate or house and who, after the death of his parents, lived with his wife and children in the house of a brother or a married sister, or a brother or a sister of his wife. He earned his daily bread by occasional day-laborer work, by assisting on farms, or by a trade. Schwaebisch Hall, as you must spell it if you don't have an umlaut on your typewriter, is northeast of Stuttgart, the capital of Baden-Wuerttemberg. According to the tourist guide books, it is well worth visiting if you should decide to tour Germany. Richard Emlin Reed Wesley Chapel, FL
