Hi All Is anyone working on the BRANDT line from Lebanon/Dauphin County area? I found the following on Family Search: Christian BRANDT b.c. 1735/1738 d. Apr. 1806 m. Catharine b.c. 1740 d. aft 20 Apr. 1802 Child: Isaac BRANDT b.c. 1765 d. bef 13 Feb 1830 m. Veronica/Fronica Would be interested in corresponding with anyone working with this or related families. Thank you for your time and help. Lin

There is an old farmhouse down the road from me which will be torn down in the next 2 weeks. I've spoken with a township supervisor and the present owner of the property. It sits at an awkward county intersection which the township has wanted to "straighten out" for years. Also, due to a new home construction a few hundred yards from the site, the supervisors insisted the farmhouse be taken down to allow room for the new home's drainage field (that excuse really "gets" me!). The present owner has informed me that the inside of the farmhouse is basically "trashed" from long-time renters. There's nothing that can be done to block this demolition of the farmhouse and the 2 remaining barns. Moving it is out of the question considering the moving expense and the necessary renovations due to its deteriorated condition. The owner has given me permission to take photos of the property, inside & out. [He told me to "hold my nose" when I entered the premises!] I will be doing this probably this coming week. All I know about the property is that it is in South Annville twp and viewing the 1860 map the farmhouse and property is owned by the estate of Philip Imboden. On the 1875 map, J. Imboden is the property owner. Across this road in 1875 there was a blacksmith shop - possibly operated by the Imbodens, since they were the closest property owners. I'm sure the basic farmhouse existing today is the one depicted in the 1860 map. It's a limestone 2-story farmhouse with a balcony extending the length of the front. I will be doing more research on this property and the Imbodens who owned it. I want to compile some type of history booklet including the photos I've taken for the Hist Soc's (Lebanon County & Friends of Old Annville.) Might anyone on this list have information about this family? I'll be happy to share what I complete with anyone, especially descendants. If anyone can fill me in on this family, it would be appreciated. Thanks so much! -Linnea Miller Linnea Travis Miller - Annville PA also at: ltmiller@ptd.net lebco@aol.com See my genealogy homepage mostly on Lebanon Co PA at: <http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Plains/9263>

Thanks Beverly, I do recall our correspondance but I could not locate it. Unfortunately I had not entered the information into my database. Since then, I have discovered that James Carroll Strohm was a child of Charles Strohm's second marriage, making Catherine and Melba the two offspring of Charles and Tacie. Thanks again, Don

Tacie Walmer was the first wife of Charles Leon Strohm b.25 March 1888 d.18 May 1935. They had 2 children: Catherine b.11 July 1909 and Melba Dec 1910. He was born in Frederickburg, Lebanon County, PA. I would greatly appreciate having her dates and parents if you have them. Thanks, Don

Hello Don, Perhaps you don't remember corresponding with me before but we have in the past. i list you as one of my references. For your records: Tacie C. Walmer (21 Sept 1885/Feb 1976) was the daughter of Allen Urich Walmer (1853/1918) and Amanda C. Hauser (1859/1935). Tacie was first married to Charles Lee Strohm and secondly to Harvey O. Ream. Allen and Amanda, Tacie and Harvey are all buried at Zions Cemetery, East Hanover Twp. Lebanon Co. Pa. I have three children listed for Tacie and Charles - Catharine Marie, Melba Albert and James Carroll. Do yu wish any additional information? Thanks for contacting me. Beverly Walmer Wyld

Thank you for the information on the Gerberich family. 1. I had not been able to uncover the dates of Christina Schug's birth and death. This was good information. 2. According to a book produced by Albert Gerberich, Andreas Gerberich died in 1795. Albert admits that there is controversy about that date.

In seeing the queries on an individual who served with Lancaster County, Militia, I am curious as to what sources are available to find any further information on what the activity of that unit was.The information on my g-g-g-grandfather, John Balsley/Baltzli was passed on to me. Militia References found for John Balsley: In 1778, John "Baltzley" is listed as being in Capt. Henry Sheffer's 8th Company of the Lancaster County Pennsylvania Militia. His township of residence is listed as Heidelberg. Source-- Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission. The 1780-1783 period-- John is listed in 1781 as serving in Capt. John Moore's 5th Company, 2nd. Battalion of Lancaster Co. PA. Militia. In 1872 he is listed in 3rd. Battalion of 5th Company. In 1783, John Balsley is listed as being in Captain John Stone's Company of the Lancaster Co. PA. Militia. Township of residence: Lebanon. Documented in Pennsylvania Archives records. How can I find out more about any of this? Would greatly appreciate any direction! Karen Klaene <benklaene@compuserve.com> Cincinnati,OH

There is a driveway running through the cemetery at Christ Lutheran Church, Bellegrove . The Brightbill graves are in Row 24 on the South side of the driveway. There are other Brightbills on the cemetery. They are: Barbara D. (Uhrich) , Robert D., Jr., Robert D., and Jennie (Mark). Maybe these fit in somewhere! Happy hunting! Marian
