Posted on: Pennsylvania Dutch Queries Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Pa/Dutch?read=4814 Surname: Schaeffer, Ruhlin, Feterolf ------------------------- My Schaeffer line information (mostly in Richmond Township, Berks County) is through Philip Schaeffer, b.1770, d. 1853, m. Elizabeth Feterolf, dau. of Peter Feterolf and Susanna Seitz. Philip Schaeffer was the son of Georg Schaeffer, b.?, d. 1792 and Maria Katharina Ruhlin according to my father's information. I found it coincidental how close the two Maria Katharinas surnames were and also that you mentioned the Federolf (Feterolf) line as well. Would you like to explore any other similarities?
