Here is a site that goes indepth about the German naming patterns of those Germans who make Pennsylvania home: http://www.kerchner.com/germname.htm I hope this helps you. I also have found some Kline, as neighbors and witnesses of births, etc, of my family line. Sande (researching Zettelmeyer, Barrett, Lambert, Loebrich, Crary, Waltz....etc) Elaine asked: Generally, was there a naming pattern in these families? ____________________________________________________________________________________ You rock.

Thank you, Sande, for the http://www.kerchner.com/germname.htm very interesting and comprehensive naming pattern site address. I will study it carefully to see if it fits the naming process in this Kline family. Elaine
