Henry Ferst may be my ancestor. Does anyone know anything about him? My gg grandparents Magdalena Farst (9 Feb 1823 - 10 Apr 1893) and Jacob Brecht (12 Feb 1819 - 30 Jan 1898) lived in Schaefferstown and are buried there. Their daughter Mary Ann (24 May 1847 - 9 Aug 1847) is buried a short distance from them. There is a record of a gravestone for Magdalena Ferst (4 Jan 1786 - 27 May 1844) We did not find that gravestone, but near Mary Ann's is a gravestone too weathered to read that may be Magdalena Ferst, 1860 census, Schaefferstown, living with the family of Jacob and Magdalena Brecht is Henry Fearst, age 74. 1850 census Schaefferstown, living in a Hotel run by Leonard and Margaret Seltzer is Henry Ferst, age 62, laborer, born in Pennsylvania. Indexes to the 1840 census that I have seen list no one named Henry F*rst in Lebanon County. (However, indexers seem to overlook my ancestors frequently) Any help would be appreciated. Cynthia
