I see many inquires on many list regarding listers not receiving e-mail and wondering if they were still subscribed. I'm subscribed to eight (8) list and received no digest from seven (7) of those list after November 4th and started receiving again November 14th. Carbon County was the only one that I kept receiving, very strange indeed. All List working fine now. Cheers, Ken Maxwell [email protected]

Hi All, I've asked this before but it seems like there's new members so I'll pose my brick wall again. I'm looking for his parents names and siblings of William Moyer/Meyer/Meier who was born about 1793 and died between 1850-1860. He was married to Magdalena Kunkle (Kunkel), daughter of Maria Giltner/Gulder and Johann Adam Kunkel. This couple was living in Lehigh Co. in the 1850 census. The Kunkel's were also in Lehigh Co. Their son was Emanuel who was born Mar 22 1822 in Washington twp. Lehigh Co. and was baptized at the Heidelberg Church in Seigersville, PA. He married Salome Rex daughter of Johan Georg Rex and Maria Hunsicker. I am descended through Emanuel & Salome Rex Moyer. I'd appreciate any help. Thanks. Michelle
