Hi Patrick, The church records for Zion Evangelical Church are on microfilm from the LDS Church at their Family History Centers. They are in German. I *think* that there is a transcription of these records at the Lebanon County Historical Society. The film number if you have a local LDS FHC is: Evangelical Lutheran Church ; Microfilm #0021344, Evangelical Lutheran Church of Jonestown, Lebanon County, PA; Marriage and Christenings, 1787-1881.

Bob If my information is correct, Swatara Reform is not connected with Wolf Union. Wolf Union is outside of Fredericksburg. Supposidly Swatara Reform and Shirks Meeting HOuse of Jonestown is somehow connected. I am told that Shirks Meeting House is on the road between Bellgrove and Steel(something) above Annville. Do you know where Swatara Reform is, or has it changed it name, Marie

Marie/Sandy, I've been watching this topic, and I'm not that this the time to ask my question, but, I am looking for Brandt tombstones, probably in Swatara, but possibly as far away as Jonestown or Fredericksburg. Particularly, Christian & Barbara Brandt, both d ~1872. Is Wolf Union connected with the Swatara Ref Church? Bob

Marie Who are you looking for in Wolf Union Cemetery? I don't have a cemetery list, but am very familiar with the cemetery... Sandy

I am looking for information from Lebanon County but unfortunately I don't know what is there. I do the the name and approximate dates.

Hi, Does anyone know where Swatara Reformed Church near Jonestown is? Or has it been renamed? I do believe that there is supposed to be a cemetery attached to it. I am also looking for the Shirks Meeting House Cemetery. Does anyone know where that is? Does anyone know who to contact to find out who would have information on where people were buried in cemeteries. I am looking for relatives in the Wolf Union Cemetery near Fredericksburg. In the cemetery book at the Historical Society it is listed that my relatives are buried in the cemetery, yet when I walked the cemetery I could not find a stone. There are many empty spaces. Is there anyway to find out where they might be buried? Thanks for all help in advance Marie

Conestoga is the name of the great wagons that were invented by the Germans during the mid 1700's. They were very large wagons used to haul freight back and forth from Lancaster to Philadelphia as well as other points. They had a high center of gravity so that it was difficult to get them stuck in the mud. The word Conestoga came from the Conestoga Indian tribes of the Conestoga Valley area from what I have read.

Daniel Keller Daniel KELLER was born 5 Aug 1779 son of Johannes KELLER the 2nd or younger and Anna Maria GLAD/GLATT. This was given to me from someone online and shows up in a book about early Berks County Births, PA. As of record he seems to have been the only surviving child of Johannes and Anna Maria Keller. They have many children who died in infancy according to Moravian records in the Heidelberg Congregation. According to our records Daniel married Elizabeth SYLER. Daniel and Elizabeth Keller were the parents of my 4th great grandparents on my father's side. Daniel and Elizabeth had a daughter Catharine C. KELLER who was born 4 Jan 1808 Bethel Twp, Berks Co, PA died 27 Jan 1877 Upper Bern Twp bur at Frieden's Lutheran Church in Shartlesville and married John Tobias date unknown. Catharine was John TOBIAS' last wife possibly number 3. Johannes Keller the 2nd or younger was born 22 Sep 1743 son of Johannes KELLER and wife #1 Barbara. Johannes the 2nd died 23 Apr 1764. He married Anna Maria GLAD/GLATT daughter of Nicholas GLATT and Anna Maria FISCHER. Moravian burial records showed the following children to Johannes the 2nd and Anna Maria Keller. All are stated to died in infancy: 1. Infant son died 1766 2. twin daughters died at birth and were buried 12 Aug 1770 3. (the other twin daughter) 4. Infant daughter died 12 Oct 1772 5. Frederick Keller died as an infant 29 Jan 1774 6. Infant son died 7 Feb 1776 7. Triplets all born 25 Oct 1777. All died within a few days of birth, Salome Keller being the last to died at 4 days. 8. (another triplet-Maria) 9. (another triplet-Tobias) Johannes Keller (the first or elder) was born 1 Jan 1711 Zweibrucken, the Palatinate and died 14 Jan 1767. He was one of the organizers of the 1st congregation. He married #1 Barbara and #2 Oct 1745 Eva Elizabeth HAUZ. Barbara was the first burial at the Heidelberg Cemetery. She died 6 Feb 1745. Moravian records only shows one son to this marriage: Johannes the 2nd who is listed above. Wife #2 of Johannes the first or elder was Eva Elizabeth HAUZ. When they married he was listed as a widower. Eva was born 29 Mar 1723 Hasslach, Germany. She came to America unmarried. She joined the Heidelberg Congregation in 1746 but attended the services irregularly. After her husband's death she lived with her stepson, John until she died over 10 yrs. After her husband on 17 Apr 1777. Anna Maria GLAD/GLATT I have no info on her only who she married and her parents. Nicholas GLATT was born 13 Nov 1713 Waltersbach, Lower Alsace, Europe and died 2 Apr 1779. He married #1 Anna Maria FISCHER at Conestoga, PA. They had one son and two daughters. He married #2 in 1749 Maria Elizabeth DOCK. They had five sons and four daughters. Anna Maria FISCHER is the daughter of Henry and Elizabeth FISCHER. She died 20 Nov 1748. Her birthdate was not given but the Moravian records stated she served the congregation faithfully. I have no info on Maria Elizabeth DOCK. But I have six of their nine children's names: 1. Philip GLATT died as an infant 11 Oct 1752 2. Jacob GLATT 3. Magdalene GLATT 4. John GLATT was born 21 Jul 1757. He joined the Continental Army of the Revolutionary War in 1777. He died Sep 1777 as a result of illness contracted while in military service. Because of this it is stated in the records Jacob and Magdalene had to go and bring him home. I have no age or dates for Jacob and Magdalene but am assuming since they went for John they were older. 5. Nicholas GLATT died as an infant 21 Dec 1759 6. Anton GLATT died as an infant 3 Oct 1762 I have other info I copied at the Berks County Genealogical Society but cannot find it at this time. I am hoping to get more info on the Moravians. I'm told to try at Bethlehem where they have much in archives. If anyone can help out with info or where to go for the info like the website for the Moravians in Bethlehem, let me know. I'm going to do a search in the next few days hoping I'll come up with something. Does anyone else know what other Moravian settlements there were besides Heidelberg, Bethlehem or the Bethel Moravian Church in Swatara Twp, Lebanon Co, PA? I had heard one was at Muddy Water? Also does anyone know what is meant by Conestoga? Where would that have been where Nicholas GLATT and Anna Maria FISCHER would have gotten married? Thanks so much for your help! Crystal Also if anyone can help me identify where some of these German towns are I'd appreciate it so much since I know little of Germany. Thanks again.
