If you could have dinner with one of your ancestors, who would it be and why? I'd have dinner with my 5th Great Grandfather, John Rauch. He was born about 1773/1774 in Juniata County, but I believe he died in Dauphin County about 1848. He married Margarett Walmer, she was born about Feb 1772 in Juniata County and after her husband's death moved to Berrien County, Michigan with 4 of her sons. I'd like to ask him when he was born, and where was he born (there is speculation he was born in Germany and yet some family info states he was born in Pennsylvania). Who were his parents? Where in Germany did the family come from? What ship did they come on? What port did they enter in? Also, I like to know when and where he married Margarett Walmer. And where is he buried? I assume he's buried alone. However, one son, Henry Rauch, and 2 daughters, stayed in Pennsylvania. Perhaps some of them are buried near him. I'd also like to have dinner with Margarett (Walmer) Rauch - Why did you move to Berrien County, Michigan after your husband died? Who were your parents? How did you meet your husband? Why was the "Rauch" named changed to "Rough" when you got to Michigan? Sue "Rough" Mack
