I am related through the Best, Kratzer, Shirey lineage. Do you have a public tree so that I can compare notes? There were so many Bests that first settled in Eastern Pa. that it is a little hard to be sure you have the correct family members especially since they all used such common names. I have a Wilhelm Best posted on Ancestry and I want to be sure I have all sthe correct data. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
