Diana, >From your post below it looks like you can access various sources in Berks Co. May I ask for a look up please? I am searching for the parents of a Mattias (Matthew, Matthes, Matheus, etc.) WOLF (WOLFF, WOOLF, WOLFE, WULF, etc) b. abt. 1779 or so. His wife was Catharina ?. They went from Berks Co to Schuylkill Co abt 1798. I suppose I would need to find a will or something like that in order to prove his parentage. Would you have any kind of information on a Mathias/etc.? Thank you very much, Elizabeth ===================================================== On Fri, Aug 24, 2012 at 4:09 AM, Diana Quinones <audianaq@msn.com> wrote: > > Janet..... > > The 1767 tax list for Berks Co has > George STENGER, Windsor, 100 acres, 2 horses and 2 cows.
