Hi Keith: Thank you so much for your suggestions. Years back I did have Ancestry and enjoyed it very much. But now I am no longer employed so I cannot. I know with different people's ethnic origin the way different people pronounced and spelled names back then and even now is sometimes very humorous. So when I post I try to list a few ways that I have fond the name spelled. Grant can be Graint, Grand, Greaend, Grantz, Grund, Grunt, and the list goes on and on. One was even Landt. That was fun! I have been searching this family for over 30 years. It has been a wonderful journey. As a child my grandfather was a dentist and his office was in his home. I spent a lot of quality time with him and he always made time for me when I visited even while he was having office hours. I got to meet all his patients. He made me his assistant when I was very young. He loved searching his roots and as a thank you to him I have been trying to find some of the people that he could not. I am getting up there in age and cannot travel the way I used to or walk the cemeteries so I am trying to find these elusive Grants as best I can. I am trying any possible connection I can think of so I thought maybe Barlet could be Bartolet. I am going to try family search again and definitely Berks Deeds. I thank you so much for that idea. Hope you had a wonderful Christmas and a very Happy and Healthy 2013. Enjoy.

Also to my knowledge the Barolette family is a distinct family and not part of the Barlet family. There are many lines of the Barlet family in Berks county, most all decendants of Paul b:1714, Conrad and Hans Wolf Barlet. Hans arrived in America Sep 1732 and most of his family had moved to New York by 1800. Paul and Conrad came to America Sept. 1750. Conrad's family were living in Clarion Co Pa by 1800. Paul's family stayed in Berks county and as you can see from this thread many lived there until the 1900's. If you are a subscribe to Ancestry there is a lot of hits on the Grant family for both of John and Bartlet Grant . If you are not, you should go to FamilySearch.org, and search there. Like Ancestry there are many hits on the Grant Family. If you have some ideas on death events in the Grant family you may find some information in the Un indexed records on FamilySearch. There is one final free source of records in Berks county. That is Berks Deeds at https://counties2.recordfusion.com/countyweb/login.do?countyname=Berks For some records on FamilySearch and all records on Berks Deed you will have to complete a free registration. You may also find some leads in the online forum for the Grant family or in the Berks county forums. Finally there is a good free source of information on people from Berks county http://berks.pa-roots.com/ Guns get blamed in shootings because the liberals say teaching the Ten Commandments with "Thou shall not kill" violate the separation of Church and State.
