Hi; Is this the line of Harry Imboden, buried at Spring Creek, Hershey?

You are aware it has been out of print for several years. So, look in auctions and used book lists, etc. ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, June 24, 2003 12:13 PM Subject: [PALEBANO] Atlas of Lebanon Co. 1875 > Does anyone know where I could get a copy of this book?

Hello, I would like to hear from anyone researching David & Rosanna(Kreiser) Mease/Miess and their descendants. I am especially interested in their son, Melchoir, born Feb. 25, 1845 in Union Township. This birthdate matches the birthdate of an Emanuel Mease, who may be the father of my greatgrandfather, Hiram (Hiley) F. Mease, born June 9, 1874 in Greenpoint, Union Twp. I believe Emanuel was the middle name of Melchoir Mease. I would appreciate any information about this family. If anyone is researching the following children of David and Rosanna, I would like to hear from you. William H. Mease, born March 08, 1841, married Caroline K. Daniel Mease, born Sept. 1843; died July 30, 1915 Elias Mease, born April 10, 1855 John Mease, born 1866 Thank you very much for your help! Elizabeth Hagenbuch [email protected]

Hello, I am searching for cemeteries in the Greenpoint, Union Township area which may be on private land. I am searching for the grave of a possible ancestor; Emanuel(Melchoir) Mease. His death certificate states that he was buried in Greenpoint. I have searched all of the church cemeteries in this area, with no success. At the time of his death, he and his wife lived on a farm. He may have been buried there. The year of his death was 1909. Would anyone know of any cemeteries located on farmland or other privately owned land? Thank you very much for your help!

I heartily agree with what you say here Linnea. My family has all agreed that we will not enter any information into our family tree that is not verified by reliable sources. I have also found that many, many times I have to spend time emailing someone who has posted information that is of interest to me and ask for their sources. One person got upset with me for emailing her and said she had all the sources online.........but never told me where. If she would have had her web site in her post that would have helped and I would not have had to bother her. In many other instances, I have been very surprised to find that a lot of people are just using information from someone else's web site and accepting it as true without having any idea of the sources. So then I have to end up emailing the owners of the web sites also. A lot of time would indeed be saved by posting sources along with the information. But overall, genealogy is a field that is full of very caring sharing people and I have met many of them through these mailing lists. I have a question........what is ILL that you mention in your post below?
