seek info on Cosmos POORMAN, my gr.-gr. grandfather,born Oct. 14,1850,Dauphin Co.,Palmyra, Pa .Married Emma STUCKEY. Emma was killed from a fall from a hay rake while pregnant with their third child on Nov. 8,1878 at age 24. In Jan. 1884 Cosmos left his two sons ,John Cosmos and William Stuckey with his parents, John and Leah POORMAN of Palmyra, Pa and headed West for the gold rush making stops in Kansas; California: Fulton, Missouri where he visited friends of his family (the Shifflers) and was headed for Alaska. Family lost contact with Cosmos and after the death of Cosmos's parents in April 1902 , a notice was placed in the local paper for any one with info on Cosmos Poorman to step forward .Unanswered, Cosmos was declared dead in 1903 by the Lebanon County Court to settle the estate of his parents for his two grown sons. What happened to Cosmos? When and where did he die? A search of Alaska came up empty. Any help greatly appreciated.Thanks! Bev

Posted on: Pennsylvania Dutch Queries Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Pa/Dutch?read=4877 Surname: Trautman, Trautmann, Troutman, Schwaller ------------------------- Mamie, My gggrandmother was AGATHA "AGNES" TRAUTMANN (TRAUTMAN/TROUTMAN) who was born in June, 1823 in Baden, Germany. She married FRANCIS ANTHONY SCHWALLER, born in 1816/1817 in Alsace-Lorraine, France, who was of German descent as were his parents (names unknown). FRANCIS and AGATHA were married in 1847, but I don't know where. They had the following 5 children in Ohio, born between the years 1850/1851 and 1860: LOUIS, ANDREW, JOHAN (JOHN), AGNES, and PHILOMENA SCHWALLER (my gggrandmother). The family was Roman Catholic and lived in Cincinnati (Hamilton County), Ohio. At about the same time, a GEORGE HEINRICH TRAUTMANN, born in the early 1800's in Germany, and his son HENRY TRAUTMANN, born about 1835 in Germany, lived in Cincinnati and owned a large vegetable garden and vineyard. They came to America in 1845 and settled in Cincinnati in 1846. I suspect these people may be related to my AGATHA TRAUTMANN. Unfortunately, I have no information on the family of AGATHA TRAUTMANN. I would be very interested in exchanging information if you see a possible connection. Please write me at VLP24@freewwweb.com Thanks!

Posted on: Pennsylvania Dutch Queries Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Pa/Dutch?read=4875 Surname: ------------------------- I don't think I have anything on your Keller. The earliest Keller I have is John Keller whose daughter, Mary, married David Rettew in 1815 in Lancaster County, PA. David and Mary's daughter, Adaline, b. 1818, married John Frederick Schneider in 1838 in Lancaster Co. Sorry I couldn't help.

Posted on: Pennsylvania Dutch Queries Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Pa/Dutch?read=4874 Surname: Seanor, Saner, Sanor, Zehner ------------------------- Cheryl... Are you sure your John Saner was born in 1810? Ruff's "German Church Records of Western PA" gives: JOHANNES ZEHNER b. 14 Aug 1807 to CHRISTIAN ZEHNER & Anna Maria. Baptized 20 Sep 1807 at Harold Zion Lutheran Church in Westmoreland Co., PA.

Posted on: Pennsylvania Dutch Queries Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Pa/Dutch?read=4873 Surname: Schaeffer, Lorisch, Straw ------------------------- I am researching a Schaeffer line that originated in Berks and Centre Counties, and migrated to Germantown, Montgomery Co., Ohio around 1804, although some came as late as 1815. There is a book on the Schaeffer lineage at the Germantown library, and I have copied some pages. Apparently, some people think this research may be flawed, combining two families and several names. I don't know where to look next. My Gr Gr Gr Gr Gr grandparents were Peter Schaeffer and Catherine Straw. They were married in 1810, Centre Co. Peter died in 1864 in Germantown, Ohio, and Catherine died in 1884 in Germantown. Research, as well as this book, has led me to believe that the parents of this Peter Schaeffer were Peter Schaeffer Sr. and Catherine Lorisch. Peter Sr.'s father was George Schaeffer and Katherine Reib. His siblings were Elizabeth (m. John Beiber) Margaret (m. Dewalt Beiber) Maria (m. Michael Christman) and Philip. Other research is now leading to the husband of Catherine Lorisch being Johan Georg Schaeffer, not Peter Schaeffer Sr. This is getting so confusing! His children would be Jacob, Catharine (m. Philip Gunckel), Michael, Peter (the "Jr" who married Cathering Straw, John, Henry, Gertrude (m. John Boyer) and Mary (m. David Pressler). I don't know where to look next, all of my research leads both ways. Any suggestions? There are so many Peters, Johans, Georg, etc. Any tips or suggestions appreciated. This book I found does mention a Philip who married Elizabeth Feterolf, and some other names mentioned as well. Thanks for any advice, I'm sorry this is so long and confusing!

Posted on: Pennsylvania Dutch Queries Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Pa/Dutch?read=4872 Surname: Specht, Jones, Roadarmer ------------------------- You seem to have the same problem I am having looking for the Specht family. I don't know where to start in PA, but I am guessing Berks Co., although I haven't found him yet! I don't know if this will help, you may have more info than me, but I am looking for a Peter Specht b. 8 Feb. 1782 (although one source said 1760?) He died in Pickaway Co., Ohio. He was married to Margaret Jones, b. 24 May 1776. We think they were both born in PA, although my records don't say. They had several children: Sarah, b. 1805, Eliza b. 1823/1824; Judith, b. 1832?, Jonas, John, Rebecca, Hanna, Ann, and Catherine. At least Sarah was born in PA, I don't know about the rest of her children. If any of these names sound familiar, would you please let me know? Thank you! Lisa

Shafer by all its spellings is, with miller, the most popular surname in PA, so I'd still with it nd not divert your attention to Schaffner.
