>to the researcher doing the LONG family: I've been hoping to find some information on my grandmother's great-great-grandmother, Julia LONG, who died bearing her second child. She had married George GEIST, possibly in Long Swamp, Berks county, about 1788 or 1789. Do you know anything of Julia, or of her parents or sisters and brothers? All I have is her name, and the two children, and her death in 1798 at Howerter's church, Northumberland county. Any information at all would be welcome. Suggestions about where I should try to find more information also would be welcome. I've made the assumption that no death certificate would be available that far back, especially without a day or month to use in searching a county or state file. Is it likely a records search could turn her up? George GEIST is listed as a veteran of the war of 1812, which I find very interesting. He would have been 42 then and such records I've checked indicated he was one of the oldest privates enlisting from PA. He appears not to have remarried.
