Posted on: Pennsylvania Dutch Queries Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Pa/Dutch?read=4979 Surname: Swift, Detterline ------------------------- Hi Renee; I have Swift family in Chester Cty, and possible in Lancaster Cty. My grandfather was Alfred Chester Swift, m. Ida May (Detterline) Swift on Valentine's Day, year unknown. He wasw born April 1891. They had 13 children, of which several (6) died before adulthood. This was my father's parents, and my father name was Wilmer, and his twin was Wilbur Swift (both deceased). The other children I knew of were Lillian, Lawrence, Doris, Betty, Juanita, and the twins. If any of this rings a bell, please contact me. I don't see how such a large family could have been born, lived and died, and left so little information. Any info. would be appreciated and I'll share what I have. Thanks, and I hope this can fill in some of the blanks for both of us. Sharon
