The email arrived in sunny SC also :) Does anyone know where Schoeneck (near Stevens, Reamstown I might be butchering the spelling.) got it's name? Thanks, Michelle

Schoeneck is about 1.5 miles south of my house. Ernest was very accurate in describing location, I'll ask around to some of the locals and see if I can find a name origin. Nancy (a transplant from N. CA)

Based upon German, I presume Schoeneck means beautiful corner or beautiful place. Schoen/Schön -- beautiful Eck/Ecke -- corner Richard R.
