Is anyone out there working on either of these families? Anton Osten was born circa 1838 in "Ostpreussen". Immigrated to the US, but we don't have full info on that yet. Married Louise Ranhogle, probably in Dauphin County. Don't have death dates for either. Two daughters: Rosa Osten married Daniel Teets, had at least one son. Rosa was still living in 1950; have no further info on this family. Martha Jane "Madalina" Osten married John Tyler Ensminger jr, probably 1917, but we don't have date or place. We do have info on this branch of the family. Any help would be greatly appreciated. -- *Marsha L.

Kark, The reason I was asking is my husband has many KAYLOR ancestors buried in the Hoffer Cemetery, namely Joseph KAYLOR b. 1803. Also HOFFERS and SHELLYS. I know where the cemetery is located as it sits next to land owned by the KAYLORS. I am interested in your book and wanted to know if I would find information beneficial to my research in it. I am also trying to find out any information regarding the parents of Joseph KAYLOR. I only know that his father was a tavern owner in W. Donegal Twp. Thanks for responding, Carolyn Kaylor

There was some discussion recently on Samuel Yorty that married Elizabeth Look. I am curious if any list member is working on the Look family. Elizabeth is from my line. Her parents were John and Mary Ann nee McElheny Look and they were from the Linglestown area. I would be happy to share what little information I have. Beverly Wyld

Is Walter Mumma fit in ? He lived in Steelton around 1910-1940. Was a friend of my Fathrs and fit in the Nissley tree somewhere.

Those references have been incorporated into my SWARTZ page, and I overlooked rewording those two paragraphs. Transcribing the material prepared by BEVERLY REED SWARTZ was an arduous job, but not nearly ar arduous as the journey back in the 1700s. I'm glad you called this to my attention, and I'll correct the references. The appendices contained, of course, the tombstone engravings in the two Swartz and Nissley cemeteries. The MUMMA Farm Cemetery was recently added, due to its close proximity in time and place, but wasn't a part of the SWARTZ's Arduous Journey. -- Regards, with regrets to Netscape6 users (what a mess!)

My book does not include transcriptions of every cemetery in Dauphin County.. Although I would have loved to have been able to do that, it would have been impossible. An example I can give would be the Resurrection cemetery ... to include the inscriptions on just that cemetery would have required a ream of paper. Many of the cemeteries in my book do give suggestions as to where you can go to find the incriptions for that particular cemetery. I hope this answers your question. Cemeteries of Dauphin Co. - 2000 -- http://hometown.aol.com/dfox1943/myhomepage/index.html

Mr. Yeager: In regard to you e-mail... I will try and answer some of your questions: #1. I am not familiar with a Reigle EUB Churchyard in Curtin, PA, Mifflin Twp., unless there is another name for it. Do you have a better location point? I will do some searching. #2 Salem Evang. - There are three Salem Churches in the area, but no Salem Evang. unless they go by another name. #3. I am not personally familiar with the Yeager name, but have seen it many times on the Dauphin Co. list (PADAUPHI-L@rootsweb.com) I suggest you get on it and post an inquery.. #4. I have not seen or heard of the book by James Martin Yeager - 1912. It is still available (I collect them). #5. Other places to check would be the Williamstown, PA Historical Society and the Millersburg Historical Society. Both are in that area of Dauphin Co. My wife has a cousin checking the Buffingtons. She can ask for any Jager/Yeager #6 Yeagertown, Pa is in Mifflin Co., Be careful and not mix it up with Mifflin Twp. Dauphin Co. #7. I would be happy to send you a book and a check would be fine. #8. I have a few books with information on old ministers and church records.. I will go thru them as soon as I have some time. We are going to Berks Co. to do some searching. That's about it..

Karl, Does your book have any RHOADS or ROTHs listed near W. Hanover? Jerry Rhodes

Hi, all Are there baptism records available for Sant Peter's Lutheran Kierch, Middletown? I'm still trying to track down the Metzger grandchildren of John Metzger (1740-1826) and Anna Maria LaRue (1747-1826) in search of my ggg grandfather Francis LaRue Metzger (1795-1853) Thanks. `carol Carol Metzger Wilkerson

Yvonne: not sure if this is the correct Yvonne, but it can't hurt to try. Here is what I sent for you recently. No need to respond. Kathy Subj: Re: [PACUMBER] Kornman/Cornman Date: 2/5/01 10:07:49 PM Eastern Standard Time From: KKelly106 To: PACUMBER-L@rootsweb.com Evelyn, Yvonne and Donna: I know that I have corresponded before with one of you. Since then I have found a few more tidbits. Here is my Kornman/Cornman info. 1. Will Abstract: Jacob Wickert, North Middleton, June 9, 1823. June 25, 1823. Wife Barbara Daughter Elizabeth Kelly Witnesses: Wife Barbara and Reinneck Angney Exe: Henry Cornman, Job Randolph I.303 2. In researching the Angney name I found Cornmans and Angneys listed with the First Evangelical Lutheran Church (or some name close to that) in Carlisle. Kellys also appear on the list. This should show up in a US Genweb search for you. 3. Francis Kelly, yeoman, and his brother Thomas and Thomas's wife, Catherine, sold land in Middleton Twp. to Henry Cornman, blacksmith, on 4/7/1806. Recorded 4/13/1807. Francis and Thomas had sold property a year earlier to George Logue, Esq. which "lay on both sides of the Great Road" in Middleton. 4. Francis Kelly, 1765-1835, was a postmaster of Landisburg Borough, then located in Cumberland, now Perry, County. From a newspaper abstract collected by Gene Boak for the Perry Historians. 5. I don't know where I found the following information (sorry) but I'm sure it will be enlightening: Children of Ludwig Kornman and Mary Lebanon: John 1778 Henry 1780-1851 m. Susanna Wilt (same as who purchased Francis Kelly property?) George 1782 Ludwig 1783 Mary 1785 Susanna 1789 died as infant Jacob 1791 Elizabeth 1793 Philip 1794 m. Anna Braught 1817, Margaret Zeigler 1823. I have in these notes that Philip died 1826 and that Francis Kelly became the guardian of the 2 sons of Anna after Philip's death. Sons: Jonathan H. or Dominick? b 1818, and John born 1820. Catherine 1795 Abraham 1797 Margaret 1803 I hope this is helpful for all of you. If any of you come across Kelly information in your Cumberland search, I would be most appreciative in hearing of it. Kathy Kelly

RE: Hoffer Cemetery What area are you looking for? Karl Cemeteries of Dauphin Co. - 2000 -- http://hometown.aol.com/dfox1943/myhomepage/index.html

There is a Hoffer cemetery in Conewago Twp. #127 in the book. It's located in the southern part of Dauphin County. Karl Cemeteries of Dauphin Co. - 2000 -- http://hometown.aol.com/dfox1943/myhomepage/index.html

Karl, Does your book have anything in it regarding the old Hoffer Cemetery and the West Green Tree Church of the Brethren cemeteries? I'm researching KAYLOR and HOFFER surnames. Carolyn Kaylor

I know this is not Dauphin County but you might want to search it. YORK COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA, 1765-1803: QUICKEL'S (ZION) LUTHERAN AND REFORMED CHURCH Located in Conewago Township in York County, Pennsylvania, Quickel's Church, also called Zion's Church, was organized in the 1760s. Its records date from 1765. The late William J. Hinke originally translated the records for the years 1765-1842 from German to English, and his manuscript has been microfilmed by the Genealogical Society of Utah. The records in this database span from 1755 to 1801 and include the names of more than 5,500 individuals. Records for the years 1802 through 1842 will appear in a subsequent database. For researchers of German immigrant ancestors who settled in Pennsylvania, this database can provide valuable vital statistics not available in other records.
