Hello David J. Core, Well...I couldn't help but reply to you about your grandfather...Wonder if we have a connection? : My 3gr-grandfather, Paul ROTH married Catharine REITER in Dec. 1805 at The First Reformed Church in Reading, Berks Co. PA. which is somewhat in the same portion of PA...and not TOO far from Darby. I do not, at present, have the other surnames you mentioned in my files, but I haven't been able to find much on my Paul ROTH since I discovered him a year ago. Another ROTH researcher, Eddie SMITH ( renie@epix.net ) has a Paul & Mary Catharine REITER_ROTH, both born in Numidia, Columbia Co. 1787 & 1786. They owned and ran The Eagle Hotel in Shamokin, Northumberland Co. PA. (Columbia's western neighbor). We think we have the same couple since their birth dates and locations would fit in with my marriage date & location...Columbia isn't too far from Berks Co. Only problem is that I have two children registered at the same church in Reading and Eddie has 6 MORE children, but not my two??? At any rate, one of those Pauls could be related to your grandfather...??? You can view all my ROTHs at: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~paroth Regards, Paul Alan ROTH
