Hi, I'm new to this mailing list. I have been researching my many family lines in Westmoreland County for a number of years--Bortz, Brindle, Fennel, Kuhns, Alcorn, Weisner, Gindelsperger, Shaffer, Bauman. Of course, most of these families first lived in eastern PA (all but the Alcorns who came straight from Ireland to settle in Westmoreland). The list expands in eastern PA and Germany to include Ruth, Stambach, Dreisbach, Eberhard, Raschenberger, Sassmannshausen, Schmeyer, Weil, Wolf, Mueller, and families yet to be uncovered. I would gladly share and trade info. My present emphasis is with the Bortz family, trying to clean up mistakes and fill in empty spots. I hope to hear from some distant cousins! Candy
