I'm hoping to make a break in this brick wall I have had on my PAULUS family, going on 8 years now. The information I have so far is as follows: Unknown Paulus parents had: 1) John Henry Paulus born 12 May 1892 in Lycoming Co, PA. I have been told Silver Springs, but I have had people tell me there is no such place as Silver Springs. he married 18 Feb 1915 in Hagerstown, Washington Co, Maryland to Matilda M. MORTON. He died 9 Nov 1960 in a State Hospital in PA. I believe he may be buried in Youngs United Cemetery, Perry County, PA. There were 14 children from this marriage (3 still live). Many of these children are buried in Youngs United. John Henry Paulus is my great-grandfather. 2) Murray PAULUS married Florence. No further information. 3) David PAULUS married Mary. No further information. The following surnames are known to be linked to the family, but we haven't figured out how, just yet: DONLEY, SHANK, LICKEL, RHODES, SOUDERS and BROWNAWELL. My maternal grandmother (daughter of John Henry Paulus) once meantioned that a cemetery nearby to her house in Carlisle was also had Paulus relatives. She has since been placed in a nursing home for Alzheimers and my own bad memory cannot remember if this was Youngs United, or another cemetery. I also do not remember what street she lived on, as they have gone to a P.O. box since her going to the nursing home. I can probably get the name of the street from my cousin, once she returns from vacation. If any of this looks familiar to you, or you have any resources that may be of help to me, I would greatly appreciate your looking. My web site has what information I do have available to me (all of it through John Henry's lineage). I am also willing to help via email if you have trouble with my site (I have been having problems with my Paulus link), or you want to bypass that. ======================================= Loni (Adams) Voorhis [email protected] or [email protected] ADAMS ANDREWS ANDRUS/ANDDRUS BASTIAN BERSTLER/BOERSTLER/BURSTLER/BORSTLER BROWN(E) CALEY CAMPBELL FISCHER GROY GYSEL HOFFER KAYLOR KEMP KENDALL KNIGHT LESHER MCCLELLAN MORTON PAULUS SCOTT THOMAS and TYLER Genealogy pages: Surnames A-G: http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Fields/4390/roots.html Surnames H-N: http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Fields/4390/rootshn.html Surnames O-Z: http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Fields/4390/rootsoz.html SNAIL MAIL ON REQUEST ... we are linked by blood, and blood is memory without language.
