Steve, Thank you for your offer of help. Unfortunately, the only BOYER I know for sure is Amelia. I don't recognize the other names you sent but I will save your message in hopes of someday having more information, or more accurate and less speculative information, about who Amelia's parents and siblings might be. I think you're right about Royersford. I typed a more familiar name and not the one I should have transcribed from my files. Should you come across any mention of Amelia, or of a possible family connection for her, I hope you could let me know. It frustrates me to have all the males listed ( courtesy of cousins ) in the GEIST genealogy back to the founder, in 1740, and have no one paying attention to the females and their families. I hope to be lucky this year and find a few connections for them. Good hunting in 2002, Ashley Ashley I am not researching the Boyer family but do have a possible link for you if you can relate to Catherine Boyer (dates unknown) who married Daniel Schwenk 5/5/1761-2/26/1838. Daniel was the son of George Schwenk and Veronica Markley (dodderer Line) and substantial detail is available on all three of these families. I can provide some of it if you can make the link. Steve Ashley Forgot to mention, I think you mean Royersford, Montgomery County, not Rogersford. To my knowledge there is no Rogersford in Montgomery County. There is a Rogersville and a Rogertown in Pa., but these are in the southwestern and nortwestern corners of the state.
