Jean: Good to see the nice write-up about the formation of the Lower Swatara Historical Society and the desire to provide a complete history of Lower Swatara Township. I've been invited to the meeting Friday (even though I live in Londonderry Township) because I have already provided a lot of history of the former residents by way of grave-yard headstone transcriptions. One such stone is somewhat fascinating because it states something like ....here lies the Bones of Elizabeth, daughter of.... It's written in German, as that was the language of many of the early settlers of Lower Swatara Township. Some of the web pages I've prepared can be viewed at: <http://home.att.net/~charliefies/ShopeFarm.html>. If there is any way you can let Shelby Class know about these Lower Swatara Township web pages so she can view them before Friday Evening's meeting, it might prove beneficial to all. -- Regards, CHARLES EARL FIES -- Fies Family Fotos <http://home.att.net/~chasfies/> FIES/FEES Family History Research Site <http://www.fies-fees.org> BABB - HARTMAN <http://home.att.net/~chasfies/Babbs.html> DAUPHIN CO.
