Phred, Grace, et al: My Dauphin County and Forgotten Cemeteries pages have been AOLized (rewritten so AOL browsers won't scroll needlessly horizontally). The paragraphs are narrow on most browsers, but it is the only work-around I could figure out. How do they look to you? I added some photos and links, and a few minor changes to their contents.

As regards the matter of DANIEL RUDY, the apparent father of my great-great-great-grandmother, ANNA (RUDY) BROWER, I will carefully examine any and all research as pertains to said DANIEL RUDY and his ancestral line and thank all researchers who have made such contributions. In the spirit of scientific investigation, I submit the following, a posting from GenForum/Rudy Family Genealogy Forum dated August 20, 1999, said posting is by Charles Rudy and is a verbatim copy, including punctuation, spacing, etc.: "Just happened to find a little info on Anne Rudy b.@1780 in Frederick co. Md. m.to Jacob Brower 17 Jul 1798 in Franklin co.Va.She is the daughter of Daniel Rudy.She died in Preble co. Daniel is the son of Dietrick (aka Peter) Rudy.This info came to me from Jane Elsmer of Muncie,In in 1990. CERUDY" Who is this DIETRICK AKA PETER RUDY? David Otto palaceatm@aol.com

Hi Roger, You seem to have quite a few family lines from Dauphin Cty. Do you have anything on the Henry Shellenberger (1788-1859)line from North Annville Twp.? He married Magdalena Miller (1793-1862) in 1813 in East Hanover Twp. Jon Blanck

Can anyone advise me what a fair price one should pay for somebody to look up obits at the public library or State Library? Is there anybody out there that is interested in doing this for me?

Can anyone advise me who arethe contact persons for Gravel Hill Cem. in Palmyra, and Union Deposit Cemetery in Hershey and how I may reach them by mail or by e-mail? Many Thanks in advance!

An Irish surname in a German family? Sure! Here is one idea - There were many Germans who wanted to immigrate to America around the time Wm. Penn and his followers were recruiting in Germany for settlers in the newly formed PA. They were shipped to England first, some got to America, but maybe not PA (like the Schoharie settlers of NY who came down the Susquehanna to form the Tulpehocken area of Berks Co.), others were kept in England and Ireland for several generations due to the political climate. Queen Anne made that decision. More specific to your search - an index of the Pennsylvania "Colonial Records" has these listings: Mc K(N)EE, Thomas - Vol. 8, pg. 113, 117-118, 122-123, 383, 385-386, 429, 433, 489, 709 Mc KEE, Thomas - Vol. 4, pg. 630, 633-635, 640-643, 646 (See MEGHEE): Vol. 5, pg. 247 (See McGEE): Vol. 6, pg. 35, 650, 658, 669, 762, and Vol. 9, pg. 27, 29, 89. So, it seems as if your ancestor's German name was MEGHEE.

Gwen, My ancestor, Harvey( Henrich) Collins, was born 1809. His folks were Reuben Collins (beleived to be Irish) and Susannah Wenrich (known to be German). Susannah's father, Francis, donated the grounds to what is now the St. Thomas Church. The cemetery there was known as Wenrich's. In the deed when he donated the land, the United Reformed (German) and the Presbyterian (Scots-Irish) churches were listed as the recipients. There was quite a mixture of German/English/Irish in Dauphin County in 1790. Now how Reuben and Susannah came to meet is an interesting question. Reuben, who appeared to be about the age of 25, and Susannah, who was 16, were married by Justice of the Peace Peterson, in Middletown. Why she would marry there instead of the church where her father was an Elder is a good question, but about 6 1/2 months later their first daugher Eva was born then baptized at Wenrich's Church. So maybe that's the answer to the good question! My ancestor, Harvey, was baptized as Henirich at Wenrich's. The Collin's move to Perry County in the 1840's, but were back in Dauphin County, Millersburg, by the 1850's. So, that's one explanation!

Hi David. I am at work at the moment and do not have the information at hand so can not give dates or church but in researching my McKee line I found a Heinrich McKee who married Eva Rudy in Dauphin Co. in early 1800s. This Heinrich, or someone with the same name, was a witness to the marriage of my 2 gr grandparents, Thomas Grundon and Maria McKee. This marriage was on 27 Mar 1807 in the Tabor Reformed Church of Lebanon. I have not been able to determine how, or if, Heinrich was related to Maria. Can anyone explain the apparent German and Scots Irish name of Heinrich McKee? Is it possible that these people were of German extraction and the name was changed to McKee? I have been unable to determine a German name that might have sounded like McKee. Would appreciate any input on this.

My great-great-great-grandparents were Jacob BROWER and Anna (RUDY) BROWER, both were born in Franklin County, VA, where they were married in the very late 1700s; early in the 1800s, they moved to Preble County, OH, where they lived and died. It has been intimated that the father of Anna RUDY was Daniel RUDY whose father, in turn, was Dietrick or Peter RUDY. It is further intimated that Daniel RUDY may have had some relationship to Dauphin County, PA. Does anyone have RUDY data that would assist, clarify, corroborate and/or expand all of this information? Actually, I know very little about my RUDY connections and any assistance would be greatly appreciated. David Otto palaceatm@aol.com

I am searching for the birth or baptismal record of Daniel Hepfer/Hepper/Hepford (b. 1806) in Dauphin County. His parents may have been Stephen Hepfer and Catharine (Hoffman) Hepfer. Any help would be appreciated. Sue Cramer Peoria, AZ

Elida, Thanks for trying and all your help. I will check out the books you mention. Thanks for suggesting them. I have posted at genforum, I have some at familyhistory, but don't recall if I did Stutzman or not. Thanks again.

Roger, You list Elizabeth COLEMAN (Carl, Johannes, John) m to Johann Jacob LAUDENSLAGER, with his pts as Isaac Jacob Laudenslager & Henrietta (Sophia) Rettinger. His father's name is not Isaac but also John Jacob, as listed in the will of Sophia's father. I have never seen her referred to as Henrietta - she's also listed in her father's will as Sophia. I am descended from the Rettinger's, originally from Berks Co. Andrew Rettinger & family & Sophia & husband moved to the Schuylkill/N'd/Dau Co area c1800, as did related Schlegels.
