Hello Patrice, Thank you for responding to my letter. Here is what I have on the BASTRUS?? family. PHILLIP BASTRESS d. 1796 in Longswamp Twp., Berks Co., Pa. m. BARBARA Their children were: 1. BARBARA BASTRUS b. April 14, 1773 in Lehigh, Pa. m. HEINRICH HOWERTER, October 26, 1790 in Schwartzwald Reformed Church, Berks Co., Pa. d. October 10, 1831 in Berks Co., Pa. 2. ELIZABETH BASTRUS 3. CATHARINE BASTRUS 4. JONATHAN BASTRUS I also have in my files that BARBARA HINTERLEITER b. September 20, 1761 married a PHILLIP BAST. Could this be the same BARBARA and PHILLIP??? I have no last name for the above BARBARA. Also the date you gave me for the birth of ELISABETH BASTRES was the same date that I have for BARBARA BASTRUS?? It is a puzzle isn't it. Are they the same or are they twins or what??? Thank you for any help that you can give.
