>Walt Kaiser >formerly of Jersey Shore and Tomb's run now of Rescue, Cal. Speaking of the name, "Tomb" has anybody here read Pioneer Life: Thirty Years a Hunter by Philip Tomb? Wasn't he from this same Tomb family? How was the book? My GGG Grandfather, John Fisher (see below from my notes) of Jersey Shore had some dealings with members of the Tomb family so I am curious about the book. Where is Tomb's Run? The earliest mention I have of John Fisher in Lycoming County is in connection to a furnace built to manufacture pig iron on Upper Pine Bottom run in 1814. The furnace was built by Mark Slonaker, Benjamin and Henry Tomb, John Fisher, George Tomb, Solomon Bastress and Philip Krebbs (who married Margaret Hays, the sister of John Fisher's first wife, Mary Hays). "Iron ore had been developed near the Couldersport turnpike. The hauling of the ore to the furnace, however, proved too costly to enable the company to realize a profit, as it required from one to two days to get a load of ore from the mines to the furnace. Supplies also had to be hauled fifteen miles over steep mountains. These difficulties proved too great for the company, and after struggling along until about 1917, and losing nearly $7000, they gave up the enterprise. The ruins of the old furnace were visible for many years." [from Meginness]. Julianne

Dave, I looked in Meginness' History Of Lycoming County for your Samuel and Abigail. Here is what I found. On Page 239 it says that March 7, 1800 an act was passed by the legislature to enumerate the townships. This was done by Commissioners Forester, Stewart and McClure. On page 245 under Pine Creek Township is listed Samuel Scott, millwright. There is also a John Scott, Jr. laborer. As for Abigail Mills, on page 669 under Watson Township it reads as follows: "Settlers ascended Pine Creek at an early period in our history. At the mouth of Tomb's run the first settlement was made by James Alexander in 1784. He had been there in 1773 and laid a claim, but was obliged to fly in 1778. A few other families had penetrated that far with Alexander. It is claimed that the first child born at the mouth of the run was Abigail Mills, daughter of James Mills, in 1786. " I know that the birth date is off by 6 years but that is all that was listed.

James, Good to hear from you. What I have is solely and entirely Amelia BOYER, born 1832 in Royersford, Limerick township, Montgomery county, died 1916 in Ashland, Schuykill county. she married John GEIST of Line Mountain, Schuykill county. I'd love to have some family for her, especially parents, but also I think she must have a few sisters and brothers, and I have found nothing for sure for her and not even much for leads. I'd be delighted if you know of her, Ashley >Hi Ashley, >I am also researching the Boyer line in early PA.

Hi Ashley, I am also researching the Boyer line in early PA. Give me some names and dates and I will see what I have. Thanks, James Moon Plano, Texas

Two comments: 1. There is a Godshall/Gottschall/Godshalk list for sharing information. (it's at rootsweb) 2. Stitzer. I would also check out Seitzer, which is approximately how "stitzer" is pronounced in German, I believe. The "st"is not pronounced the way we would pronounce it, as in the word "stitch."

As >I had, in January 20001, just a year ago, only the names of my >father's parents, and I'd never met them, I am astounded to have all >these names and cousins and Great-great's. Just in case someone else is researching the same names, I am posting them alphabetically. Please be aware that this is speculative, I haven't checked birth certificates, land records, wills, and so on yet -- there hasn't been time. My Grandmother was a GEIST. I believe her family came from Wuerttemberg originally and that most of these names are also originally from that state, which is west of Bavaria and parallel to central France on the map. The GEIST source is the book, GEIST RELATION, from which I have several zeroxed pages. Grandmother's mother was a STITZER and I have no information at all on the family. Grandmother's grandmother was a BOYER, and I hope to borrow a genealogy book including this grandparent and learn more. Grandmother's great-grandmother was a FETTEROLF, and Elizabeth FETTEROLF'S line goes back hundreds of years. Grandmother's great-great grandmother was Julia or Juliana LONG, related to DUSINGER and BURGER. It's really strange to me to suddenly be writing about some of these people who died before 1807, say, and claim them as ancestors, when they've existed for me for such a short time and their lives were so long ago. Please have patience. It's quite amazing to me, and I hope some of you are cousins of mine. Good grief, we might even be 5th or 6th cousins! BOYER, in PA by 1832 or earlier BURGER, Germany in early 1700's DUNKELBERGER, in PA in early 1700's DUSINGER, Germany in early 1700's FETTEROLF, in PA by about 1730? GEIST, in PA by 1740 GODSHALL / GOTTSCHOLCK, to Bucks county by early 1700's GUERTNER / GURTNER, in PA in early 1700's HAUER, to PA by mid 1730's , possibly Bucks county KIRSCHNER /KARSHNER, to Bucks county by early 1700's LEPPERTIME, northern Germany, Belgium, Holland, early, mid 1600's LONG, from Germany to PA in early 1700's, to Berks county METZGAR, mid 1600's in Germany, Belgium, Holland ROTHERMAL, in PA by 1730, said to be from Holland SEITZ, in Bucks county by mid 1700's SPORER, of Wachbach, Wuerttemberg, late 1600's STEINER, to PA by mid 1700's STITZER. in Pa by 1865 and probably much earlier ZIMMERMAN, mid 1600's in northern Germany, also Holland and Belgium If anyone reading this has suggestions, especially for chasing down the elusive STITZER family, I'd welcome hearing from you. Is anyone else researching these families? Suggestions for further searches would be appreciated. I would really like to document everything but I'm aware that finding birth certificates, at least, is unusual that far back. Hoping lots of unknown cousins read this, Ashley --

Does the English word "wander" derive from this word?- as in "to wander" to America? :)" Short answer: yes. Long answer: The German verb "wander" is translatable into English as wander travel ramble rove walk (on foot) hike (e.g. as a sport) migrate (as in birds, or peoples) shift (as in dune) diffuse The English word is recorded in my NOD as of West Germanic origin. Certainly, both the English and the German words have the same root. Donna's husband's ancestors migrated, they were migrants. From the point of view of their country of birth, they were "Auswanderer" = "out-migrants" = "emigrants". From the point of view of their new chosen country, they were "Einwanderer" = "in-migrants" = "immigrants". English useage of the German is amongst others "wanderlust" (a strong desire to travel), also Wanderjahr and Wandervogel. Over to the linguist(s).

Does anyone have records to who is buried in this church? Looking for burial of Henry Conn b. 2 Jul 1764 d. 18 Sep 1835 Suggestions? Francine Conn Halter

All, Recently, I have made a contact in Germany that is willing to help on the research for the Scholderer / Sholder Family. We have already made some wonderful discoveries as well as making to link back to Degerloch, Württemberg, Germany, which is where Christian August Scholderer was born and came to America from. The linage that we have based on Church records from Degerloch are as follows: Christian August Scholderer - Our Ancestor Johann Jacob Scholderer - Father Johann Karl Scholderer - Grandfather Stephan Scholderer - Great-grandfather Stephan Scholderer - Great-great-grandfather Martin Scholderer - Great-great-great-grandfather We currently can not get any additional generations, due to the fact the Church books that we have been using start at 1644 and Martin was born before that. At this point I think that it is pretty safe to say we have a pretty good lineage for our family. I will continue to research with my contact additional information about these ancestors. The one interesting fact is that Christian's father died in 1812. His mother remarried to a Johann Jacob Sigmund some time after that. This Johann Jacob had a son Samuel Friedrich Sigmund (born 18. Feb. 1798) that went to North America on 5 July 1819. Then in 1832 Christian his bride Anna Lutscher, as well as his mother and step-father ALL came to America to the son Samuel Friedrich Sigmund, in Centre County. The possible wife of Samuel Friedrich Sigmund shows up in Cedar Hill Cemetery, Lamar Twp, Clinton Co, PA as Rosannah Margaret/Rosina b.Feb 19, 1799 d.Feb 28, 1867 and is w/o S. F. Sigmund. She was born in Wittenburg, Germany. Based on the same church records, the Samuel was born in 1798. So we have some more research to do in our own backyard. This is why I am writing to all of you. You have all been helpful in looking at your families and gathering information for me. Currently we have 1178 descendants of Martin Scholderer through 13 generations. I would ask all of you to see if we can go the next step and work on completing (as much as possible) the Descendants of Christian August Scholderer, our ancestor. So any information that you can provide via e-mail or regular mail would be greatly appreciated. Specifically copies of any documents, land records, bibles and newspaper items, such as marriage, anniversary, obituaries or just general interest if someone was written about. Also if you can find the time a great personal touch would be to write something about your parents, grand-parents that you remember and that you can send me for inclusion as well, this may be the nicest touch of all. I'm also interested in obtaining mailing addresses of anyone related so that I can snail mail them as well, while putting together a formal mailing list. My mailing address is: Kevin L. Sholder 48 Esquire Ave. Centerville, OH 45459 My fire has just had some additional wood placed on it and hopefully I can light yours as well. I have (or will shortly) post a list of surnames that fall into our family tree. Below are some current questions that I need answers too, if any of you can help. Here is the obit for the gentleman's whose mother was a Sholder: Jack M. Lukens Jack M. Lukens, 81, of Hollidaysburg, formerly of Montgomery, died Sunday, Jan. 6, 2002, at Bon Secors-Holy Family Hospital in Altoona. Born May 28, 1920, in Williamsport, he was a son of Wally and Dorothy Sholder Lukens. He was an Army veteran of WWII. He was self-employed as a carpenter. He was a member of the American Legion Post 268, Montgomery. He is survived by one son, Jack L. Lukens of Lock Haven; two daughters, Patti Malizia of Montoursville and Lisa Cox of Hillsgrove; four grandchildren; one great-grandchild; one brother, Charles E. Winter of Orofino, ID. He was predeceased by a son, Timothy Lukens. Funeral services will be private and at the convenience of the family. Family will provide flowers. Arrangements by Kaufman Funeral Home, 2102 Northway Road, Williamsport. I believe that the Dorothy Sholder listed above is Dorothy Mary Sholder (born Apr 1895, baptized 16 Jun 1901 at Bethel United Presbyterian Ch) daughter of Eli Sholder and Wilhelmina C. Fullerton. Could someone possibly call the son or one of the daughters to confirm? I was wondering if Christina Margareta former wife of Johann Jacob Scholderer, widow nee Kaiser and her husband Johann Jacob Scholderer could be buried in Wildwood, on the same plot as Christian and Anna. Can someone check this out? I am also looking for information on a Pete Sholder that had a dance hall on Misner Road. Was this a nickname? If so what was his real name? Thanks, Kevin L.
