He is in Womrath, Germany and is the chronicler of the little village. If you want to contact him, I'm sure he could share some Shearer info with you. His e-mail is heinrich.augustin@gmx.de I have lots of Shearer info from the Berks County Historical Society in Reading, PA. As soon as my sister-in-law can help me do attachments, I can send you some. My line is through John Christopher Scherrer who came to America in 1769. He was a Rev. War soldier. From him I am related to John P. Shearer, Jacob T. Shearer, James W. Shearer, and Ella Y. Shearer who was my grandmother. Gayle snug7245@att.net
