Thank you very much, Lorraine. No, I haven't searched in Lehigh Co, but will do that and will also sent your information to our NEFF family historian. Is Northhampton Co. still in existence? Thank you so much for your kindness in offering to see if you have information in your files about my family. My brick wall is Jeremiah SMITH and Rowena or Regina ARNOLD SMITH and their daughter, Maria / Mariah SMITH, born in Berks Co. about 1824. It's likely that the family was Brethren (Maria / Mariah was Brethren during her adult years). Because of the county-name changes, I wonder too if there could be information about our SMITH / ARNOLD families in counties surrounding Berks. Since one of the difficulties in searching German names is that it was custom to call people by their middle names, I wonder if their first names differ in the records. I have both names for many of my PA Dutch ancestors, but not for the SMITHs and ARNOLDs Thank you again, Lorraine. How is your own search going?
