Betty - I am posting this on the rootsweb because I think there are others who would like to see what you posted - you might even hear from them - I was using a an Index - without any household details - Ancestor dot com has those pages on line - there is a fee - but it might be worthwhile for you - you could answer those questions - I do hope you find them I have been working the Schally/Shally/Shawley family. There are many loose ends but much is known about that family in Lebanon Township and mine later in Cumberland and on to Ohio... best regards Hal ----- Original Message ----- From: "don kitchen" <kitchen2@adelphia.net> To: "Arthur Laube" <zzurlauben@mindspring.com> Sent: Thursday, September 12, 2002 10:12 PM Subject: Re: [PALANCAS] Georg Adam Schell 1784-1871 > Hal, I think you had a BINGO! > > The ross twp, lancaster Co, Pa was listed as BIRTH PLACE in the St. John's > German Evangelical church Records of Monroe county Ohio (as transcribed by > Dr. Shirley Harmon) for both Georg Adam and Maria, but when the children > were listed in this book and their birth dates and locations given, I made > the following notes in my program: > > "Some of the notes transcribed from the volumes that made up the Monroe > County, Ohio Church Records by Dr. Shirley Harmon reflect the phonetic > spelling of the original record keeper.
