Hi, I have a book called "A Genealogy of the Kreiser Family" compiled by Clifford L. Kreiser and Sylvia A (Schultz) Goho and found the following info in it. I'm not sure if this is part of the family you are researching but thought you might want to check it out. Dauphin County is nearby Lebanon County. BRESTLE: Jean B. born ca. 1903, died Dec 3 1995 at Frey Village, Middletown, Dauphin County, PA. Buried at Middletwon Cemetery, Middletown, Dauphin County, PA She married John Walter Deimler on June 24, 1923 and they had 3 children: Nancy Jean Deimler Martha D. Deimler Kay M. Deimler Walter was born Sept 19, 1902 Dauphin County, PA and died Jan 15, 1958 in Philadelphia, Philadelphia County, PA. He is buried at Geyer's Cemetery, Londonderry Twp, Dauphin County, PA That is the only listing for any of the surnames you mention, even misspellings.

I'm searching for a foot-hold on a sheer rock faced block...any information would be appreciated. Many members of these families moved west to Ohio together, but not sure from where.

Elizabeth, Have you found a Rosann Mease in 1880? Here are a couple entries in Union township from Family Search. Perhaps you've already considered them. Page 39A, Film T9_1145 Rosyann Mease Self W F 64 PA Keeping House PA PA Lucy Mease Daughter W F 44 PA At home PA PA Elias Mease Son W M 22 PA Works on farm PA PA Maggie Mease Daughter W F 15 At home PA PA John L Zechman Gson W M 13 At home PA PA Molly Schreiver Gdaughter W F 9 At home PA PA There are Rupps next household. Also on Page 39C Clinton Deitzler 35 Mary Deitzler 33 Three youngest children are: Irwin 6 Elizabeth 4 Sarah 4 m There are also three older children. Perhaps they were born to a first wife? There are several Mease families in 1880, however found no Emanuel in Union Twp. Can't say if this is of any help or not. Judy Baker

Currently: Park Avenue is between 3rd and 4th streets south of Locust to Pershing Avenue. Only one block long. Then it picks up at the city line south crossing Poplar Street and continuing to Vine(South Lebanon Township) Doug On Wed, 7 May 2003 17:30:06 -0400 "Nancy and Brian" <[email protected]> writes: > In the 1920 Census for Lebanon City I have: > > 305 Park Avenue > > Where is Park Avenue in the city of Lebanon? > > I know there are homes off of Oak Street that > are on Park DRIVE.

There is a Park Ave or Street off Oak, but I think you are right they were not there in the 1920's Will be going in that area, in a day or so, will check it out for you. Marilyn Mease

In the 1920 Census for Lebanon City I have: 305 Park Avenue Where is Park Avenue in the city of Lebanon? I know there are homes off of Oak Street that are on Park DRIVE. I don't think those home were built in 1920. Thanks Nancy

Hello, I am searching for more information about an Emanuel Mease, born March 1847, probably in Union Township, Lebanon County. The earliest record I have found is a listing on the 1870 Census for Union Township: Emanuel Mease, 24, laborer Sarah Mease, 22, wife Isadora Mease,1, daughter Jane Dundore, 8, no relationship listed (possibly a niece) Henry Houser, 21, mill-wright, no relationship listed (boarder?) There is no record for Emanuel Mease on the 1880 and 1890 Censuses. Emanuel's first wife Sarah died in 1882. I do not know if they had other children besides Isadora. I believe they may have been the parents of my greatgrandfather Hiram (Hiley) F. Mease, born June 9, 1874 in Greenpoint, Union Twp., but at this point I have no proof. Emanuel Mease is found on the 1900 Census for Union Township; he is remarried to a Mary nee Rupp Ditzler. I have a copy of their marriage license.They were married June 11, 1892 at the Lickdale Parsonage by an O. S. Scheirer, Minister of the Gospel. Emanuel lists his mother as a Rosanna Mease; his father is listed as deceased. Emanuel Mease, born March 1847, 53, married 9 years Mary Mease, wife, born Feb. 1845, 55, married 9 years, 3 children, 3 living Lizzie Ditzler, dau, born June 1877, 22, single Irvin/Irwin Ditzler, son, born March 1875, 25 Sallie Ditzler, dau, born Feb. 1880, single I do not have a death date or burial place for Emanuel Mease. He died sometime between 1900 and 1910. He is not listed on the 1910 Census; Mary Mease is listed as a widow. I would appreciate any information someone might have concerning this Mease family. Thank you very much for your help! Elizabeth Hagenbuch [email protected]

Hi Geri First let me tell you that I think you are doing a great job of getting information on the list. I do appreciate all the time you put into it. I have nothing on carbon county or northumberland or even monroe county. I just happen to be a descendant of Frederick Gerhardt and have spent a lot of time doing research on the family. The last information that I posted on this family came from Annette Kunselman Burgert research, Eighteenth Century Emigrants From Langenselbold In Hesse To America. Also I have been historian for the Frederick Gerhart Family for the past few years since the death of Dr. Spannuth. So I thought that I could clear up some miss information that has been out there for many years. So please don't let me stop you from trying to help all of us.....Sandy

Sandy, you read a "different book", that's means your right and I am wrong,or I read differnet "books" and that I am right and your are wrong.So when it comes to Carbon County,what do you have? Best Wishes, Geri

Frederick Gerhardt was born in the Wetterau in County Ysenberg, in Langen-Selbold, March 26, 1715. He married 1st on Jan 28, 1737, Anna Elisabeth Fischer, d/o Jost Henrich Fischer. They had a son Peter. He married 2nd Barbara Rieger on Feb. 14, 1740. It has long been thought that he was a descendant of Paul Gerhardt the hymn writer, however there is now proof that this is not true. Frederick Gerhardt is the son of Wilhelm Gerhard master cartwright from Nieder Mittlau, who was the son of Jõrg Gerhard. Wilhelm married Anna Elisabeth widow of Johann Faust in Langenselbold on Nov. 17, 1707. Her first marriage, recorded June 23, 1701, reveals that she was the d/o Johannes Keÿser, master cartwright and inhabitant at Langenselbold. Jõrg Gerhardt was married twice his 2nd wife Anna d/o Thomas ?Lufft was the mother of Wilhelm, who was born Feb. 24, 1683. The father of Jõrg Gerhardt was Georg Gerhard deceased at his first marriage on Feb. 26, 1673 to Anna Ruppert. What is listed in the History of Berks Co., is incorrect information......Sandy
