My grandmother was a Shearer. I have found the best Shearer information at: The Historical Society of Berks Co. PA 940 Center St. Reading, PA 19601 Telephone: 610.375.4375 email: society.library@verison.net or email: history@berksweb. At this location I made a copy of the newspaper article I believe you refer to. I also would like to know exactly where Womrath/Hunsruck is located amd what informtion you have about our German ancestors of Christopher John. I hope you recieve this. You will be my first European genealogy contact! I would be glad to send you any info I have. Sincerely, Gayle Guthrie email: snug7245@att.net
