Below is another early family line from Dauphin Co. I have a large database of family lines (mostly from the northern half) that I would like to share. This is a combination of my research and that received from others so I cannot guarantee complete accuracy. If you have additional information to share or questions, please write to me. You can visit my web site <A HREF="http://members.aol.com/RogerCubs/index.html">Roger & Sue Cramer's Genealogy Site</A> to see most of the family lines I am tracking.
