Alright, I guess I have spent a half hour. Your Family Tree Maker address did not work. And I am afraid you list no date for the fellow. In addition, I have no really strong sense of division of Counties in PA. I found references to an Indiana County, Lebanon Twp, etc. And, most of the names do go back to Lancaster. I noticed you did not enter your surname with Rootsweb. I sought out Breckbiel there, and no one was listed, which means you were not listed. I would suggest you list. I also see no Genforum list for Breckbiel. I would suggest you have one created (free): Go to: http://genforum.genealogy.com/cgi-genforum/finder.cgi?find=Breckbiel Click on New Forum Application. Well, got to go. I did not find anything. But maybe these two suggestions will help. They have helped me in the past. Good hunting!

While you're looking for Elizabeth REES, does anyone know of a Thomas REES who married widow of George SAVAGE, Mary (Miller) SAVAGE, on 8/11/1720 in Phila? I believe they were married at the First Presbyterian Church there. Rees was a relative of Edward REES, son-in-law of Thomas RUTTER and George and Mary Savage had 5 children: George, Jr, Zanes, Blandina, Mary and Ann. Would there be any record of children of Thomas Rees and Mary Savage, or of any will that Thomas REES that would have been probated when he died? Diana

Oh. No, my relatives attended the Philadelphia one. It is just that I am hoping my REES came from Montgomery. Actually, the earlies records I have are for Philadelphia.

Thanks Vince, I will include the information. But let me warn you I have searched the internet for almost two years for this info along with about 20 other people. The subjects name is Isaac Breckbiel. The earliest record is his Son's birth at the Lutheran Church in New Hanover, in Montgomery County. He is not related to any of the Breckbiels etc. that settled in Lancaster County or other areas of PA, that we have been able to trace. We have all other information about him from this time on. We know he went to Virginia and then on to the Carolinas. The following web site will explain how much research has been done and why we believe he is from Switzerland. http://www.familytreemaker.com/users/s/c/o/Micheal C Scoggins I think maybe just a little more explanation might help. How does a parent show up at a son's birth? By this you mean the father, right? If you are not sure the son is an immigrant, I would not assume he is. I would look in Montgomery County. Then I would broaden out one county all around. I would assume he has the same last name, and that only spelling at most was changed. Maybe you could tell us his name, and where he was precisely born, if possible, and why you think he was from Switzerland. I think this would help. Though not a resident of Montgomery County, I would be willing to spend a half-hour web-search time to do what I can, and scratch my head to think up some ideas you could try out. I am sure others would do the same, and maybe someone could come up with something...

Hello Montgomery Co, I just subscribed and this is my first posting to this list. I am looking for information on the PROVIDENCE MONTHLY MEETING (Quaker) in Montgomery Co, PA. Records show that my John Cope II died there on July 31, 1812. Does anyone know whether the meeting house still stands or whether there is a cemetery there? John Cope II is my 6th ggrandfather. Genealogy is so fascinating! All of my husbands ancestors are Quakers and now I have discovered quite a line of my own. Eulimma in CA

I think maybe just a little more explanation might help. How does a parent show up at a son's birth? By this you mean the father, right? If you are not sure the son is an immigrant, I would not assume he is. I would look in Montgomery County. Then I would broaden out one county all around.

Does anyone have any ideas on where to go to find any data on a ancestor who shows up in Montgomery County in 1748 at Son's birth, but is on no ships list. This is the first contact so I have no idea who his parents are. I believe he immigrated from Switzerland. Can find a close app. birthday on FHC microfilm but can't bring him across the seas or trace back further in the US than 1748. The questionable parents cannot be found crossing or any records of either. Help! If you have any suggestions I would welcome them. Brenda

Ah. That would be wonderful, except they were *not* Quakers. They were involved with the Christ Church and the St. Peter's Church, which are Episcopal. Now whether Elizabeth "converted" from Quaker or not, I am not aware. I will gladly send you the miniscule data I have on her, in hopes you may find her, but, sadly, just as the name REES is not rare, neither among REES is the name Elizabeth rare, I believe... I will send you, personally, the data tonight, but thought I would mention the fact that they were Episcopal, public. Vince Roland Morris wrote: > > The post on Genforum is correct.

That would not be uncommon to find her converting from Quaker to Anglican or vice versa. My Quaker ancestors who came here remained Quakers, although their children who born in Pennsylvania became Baptists, even though they grew up in a Quaker home. If she married "out of the faith" that should also be among the Radnor records. Never know until you look. If it was too easy, genealogy wouldn't be as much fun. :-) RM ================== Ah. That would be wonderful, except they were *not* Quakers. They were involved with the Christ Church and the St. Peter's Church, which are Episcopal. Now whether Elizabeth "converted" from Quaker or not, I am not aware. I will gladly send you the miniscule data I have on her, in hopes you may find her, but, sadly, just as the name REES is not rare, neither among REES is the name Elizabeth rare, I believe... I will send you, personally, the data tonight, but thought I would mention the fact that they were Episcopal, public. Vince Roland Morris wrote: > > The post on Genforum is correct.

The post on Genforum is correct. Montgomery County was formed from Philadelphia County in 1784 and Delaware County was formed from Chester County in 1789. Legal documents would more than likely exist in Philadelphia and West Chester. If they were Qaukers you can find excellent records for them at the Friends Historical Library at Swarthmore College. Rees was a common Welsh name which I frequently encounter in the Radnor Monthly Meeting records at Swarthmore while researching my own family. Many of these Welsh Tract settlers came from an area near Lake Bala in Merioneth, in northern Wales. (Present day Gwynedd, Wales). Rees is a common name among them. Give me the names and dates and I'll do a quick search for them the next time I'm at Swarthmore. Roland Morris ================ Here is an extract of a post to GENFORUM considering the surname REES. Montgomery Co PA as that is where I live. Athough this county was not formed until later as you state, Lower Merion and Upper Merion (maybe others) Townships were formed in the 1600s. There was a significant migration of Welsh into this area---some were Quakers and some were not. A significant number of these were named Rees. Mention is then made of a later move to Delaware County. I seek Elizabeth REES who married George Killinger/Kellenger Fitzgerald and who had been born in the late-middle 1700's. I haven't a clue concerning her parents. She is buried at Laurel Hill Cemetery. I do not have my dates with me, but it was somewhere around 1768-88. I tend toward the latter, from memory.

Will one of you PA experts give me a hand? I'm just trying to verify some information that I found on the web. I'm ready to send for a death record for one of my Montgomery ancestors who died in Philadelphia in 1911. It looks like the place to request it from is the Div. of Vital Records in New Castle and that all they want is $3. One reason I'm asking for some confirmation is that the price is so cheap, I can't believe it. I need six from the Detroit area and they want $18 each. :-( Thanks is advance, Connie
