If this is the book I saw a preview of, I'm buying it!!!!!! My ancestor Hans Jost TOBY/TOBE was in it. I've been searching for more info on him and it looked like this was the ticket! My brother is a friend of his when they saw each other at a Genealogical Conference in October (both being teachers) my brother called me over to see it. I knew it was coming out soon and couldn't wait for it!!! Crystal

Gregory, Do you have any information on Ellen BOYER's family? I am trying to find the family of my grandmother, Amelia BOYER, who married John Geist. To be precise, she is my grandmother's grandmother, and was born in Royersford ( thank you, Steve ), Montgomery county, in 1832. She died in Ashland, Schuykill county, in 1916. I haven't found her listed on the census, so far, but since you mention the same county, I thought I'd ask if you know of her in relation to your BOYER family? Do you have parents or aunts and uncles for Ellen? Have you heard of Amelia? Thanks for taking time to read this, hoping to hear more, Ashley >Hi - > >I am looking for any information on Yew NEY and his wife, Ellen >BOYER.
