Jones books. From what I was told, the Schoharie Valley is near Albany, New York. A group of the Palatines left the area, including my ancestor Johann Leonhardt Riedt/Rieth/Reed, to settle the Tulpehocken Valley in what is now Berks Co. PA. The Tulpehocken Settlement Historical Society (near Stouchsburg, PA) has a large collection of information on the settlers. Good luck, Barbara

In addition I send a picture of my birthplace. Me and my wife Erika, we are both teachers and live 5 km away from Womrath. I was born in Womrath in an old farmhouse in 1946. This farmhouse does still exist. You can find Womrath in the Hunsrück in a plain, how it has been already described in your dates. It is a rural and relative poor area. For this reason, many people emigrated in bad years with bad harvests especially to Brasil or North America to find there a new home. Above all from Womrath many people emigrated. This little village with 300 inhabitants is off the road. There is no road passing the village. That’s the reason why in Womrath many things have been kept up. Womrath became famous in hole Germany in the 60s, because it won several times the competition for the nicest Village in Rheinland-Pfalz and troughout Germany. Many old houses, streets and places still exist. A visit would be worth. The church and the old school exist, too. My Grandfather, Johann Peter Schmidt. 02.05.1739 he became teacher in Womrath. Johann Nicolaus and Johann Christopher Scherer also have been his pupils. He tought up to his death in 1787. Then his son, Nr. 38, followed. And then the next son, who is not mentioned in the dates. All in all my grandparents were teachers in Womrath from 1739 till 1871 and they tought all people. In my opinion, my grandparents, the Schmidt-line, were very effective in this long time. Because all emigrates I know have been very successful in their new country, no matter if Brasil or North America.

You were looking for 'SARLES' Try Phillipsburg, Putnam County, New York. Here is one genealogical publication I located through HeritageQuest. It appears to be a typewritten family history; I have no idea about its veracity. This is the only one I found online with a relevancy value of 4/5. Mack, Harry W. The Mack and Sine families : with allied families : Althouse, Sarles, Chard, Rosebush, Hills, Kromenaker, Grant and others Detroit?: E.P. Mack, 195-?, 78 pgs. Mr Mack claims that 'SARLES' was an English name but a few names which might be "PA-Deutsch" appear in the index.

If you just enter the surname, you cannot specify any other field, but if you enter a common given name, such as John, you can then specify country of birth and dates. By specifying a year, then making the range plus or minus 20 years, you can go back 40 years at a time and see where the name came from as you go back in time. Or start around 1500 and work your way forward. Diana
