Does anyone know the name of the local paper in 1902 in Pottstown and whether there are records on microfilm that can be reviewed? My gr gr grndmother died 12/4/1902 in Talladega while visiting her daughter and was taken back to Pottstown to be buried in Mt Zion Cemetery. I was able to request a microfilm from the AL state archives thru inter-library loan at my local library for the paper in print then in Talladega. Does anyone know if this can be done in PA? Looking for OBIT for Charlotte K SAVAGE died 12/4/1902, lived in Pottstown on Charlotte St and died in AL while visiting her daughter Mrs Dutton (Minerca SAVAGE) LIGHTCAP. Diana

Hi, I'm looking for information about RICHARD PENNINGTON, whom I believe married ELEANOR PRITCHARD probably around 1760 to 1770. Anyone have any Penningtons in their family tree? Thanks, shaunta
Alan or others, you may get inundated with questions to answer from your sources because many of us would like Brenda's success! Do you find anything about a family named McGONEGAL or MANAGAIL or one named MONTIETH or MONTEITH in the early 1800s? My gggrandfather was David Montieth (or ei) who immigrated from Northern Ireland in about 1818 at age 18. He must have married Margaret (McGonegal or ??) in about 1825. She was born in Chestnut Hill in 1808 and they were still living in Whitemarsh Township in 1830 with one son who has disappeared from subsequent records. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Carol Montieth Watts carolwatts@ibm.net
Brenda, I just checked in "Pennsylvania German Church Records, II" and I find the listing of Joh.. Christophel Brechbiel in the Records of the Lutheran Church of New Hanover. It also lists the birth as 29 July 1748 and bapt as 31 July 1748. The parents are Isac and Maria Catharine. The witnesses were John Schimmel and Margareth, and Christophel Schwing. I don't know why the two sources give different churches. The additional information of the witnesses may give some clue as to other family names. Hope this helps.

Brenda, There are only two listings for BRECHBIEL/ BRECHBIEHL in "Montgomery County Births" by Humphrey. They are at Falkner Swamp Reformed Church in New Hanover. The first is: Isaac BRECHBIEHL and wife had John Jacob, bp 15 April 1750. The other is: Isac BRECHBIEL and Maria Catharine had Joh. Christophel, b 29 July 1748. The name spellings are as listed in the ref. Alan Eckert in VA Note that this is Falkner Swamp REFORMED in Hew Hanover, not New Hanover LUTHERAN. ----- Original Message ----- From: <BSte902278@aol.com> To: <PAMONTGO-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, December 04, 1999 7:07 PM Subject: [PAMONTGO-L] Brechbiel-1748-New Hanover > Hello, > Does anyone have access to Humphrey's "History of Montgomery County" who > could look up Isac Brechbiel for me.

Hi Margaret, Beside the ones that Diana mentioned, there is Huber's church which is now Christ Lutheran Niantic in Niantic, Pa. St. Mark's in Pennsburg started in the mid 1850's this church broke off of St. Paul's Lutheran and then split into St. Mark's Lutheran and Pennsburg Reformed Church now called the Pennsburg UCC church. There is also Friedens Union Church in Sumneytown, Pa. also the 1800's. Also a Catholic church in East Greenville. It is called St. Phillip Neri. Hope this helps, Candy ---------- > From: JFTrauth@aol.com > To: PAMONTGO-L@rootsweb.com > Subject: [PAMONTGO-L] Churches in Upper Hanover > Date: Friday, December 03, 1999 10:05 PM > > Hello-- > > Can anyone suggest what churches German immigrants might have attended in the > mid 1700's to 1800 besides Goshenhoppen?

I just wanted to take time to publicly thank Chloerr49 & Alan for responding to my lookup request. I can't tell you how much this means. Chloerr49 even sent me additional info that match my time period very well. As I told Alan it was all I could do to keep from letting out a war hoop and waking my sleeping husband. LOL. I immediatly went to the Switzerland Online Genealogy and sent a request to the person who does that Canton. Now when he replies-Maybe I'll have an early Christmas present. Thanks Again, Brenda
Thank You! Your taking time to do this was so appreciated. I did have a breakthrough tho. Chloerr49 sent me a record of a Bapt. in the Rieschweiler Parish Records that matched the time period. I am so excited. I can hardly keep from whooping and hollering but I would wake up my sleeping husband who doesn't understand genealogy at all. LOL. Thanks again, I really appreciate what you have done. Brenda
Hello, Does anyone have access to Humphrey's "History of Montgomery County" who could look up Isac Brechbiel for me. I tried to get it at my local Library but they don't have it. I then tried to get a inner Library Loan but the libraries who have it won't loan it. I know that Isac Brechbiel son' Joh. Brechbiel was baptized at New Hanover Lutheran Church on July 31,1748. I know his wife's name was Marie Catherine and he had a son named Stophel (Stephen) and a daughter named Barabra. But I can find no other reference as to his Father or Mother or siblings where he might have immigrated from. I did the FHC Canton Berne, Trachswald, Switzerland films and could not find any birth, baptizism or marriage for him. I also ordered "Marriages and Deaths of Montgomery County, Pennsylvania 1685-1800 and could find no reference to him. I would really appreciate it if someone in Montgomery County or with reference books pertaining to Montgomery County could do this for me. I am at my wit's end as to where to search next. Thank You, Brenda BSte902278@aol.com

Ancestors were living in Upper > Hanover. Margaret, There's the New Goshenhoppen Reformed and St Paul's Lutheran which is also known as Six Cornered Church and New Goshenhoppen Lutheran. That's two churches with Goshenhoppen in the name in Upper Hanover. There's even another Goshenhoppen - Old Goshenhoppen Lutheran in Upper Salford Twsp. Next to Upper Hanover Twsp, there's New Hanover Twsp where you'll find Falkner Swamp Reformed and New Hanover Lutheran. If you are looking for births, there is a book by John T Humphreys "Pennsylvania Births, Montgomery County 1682-1800." Also available on CD from FTM and at FHL film #0021950. Hope this helps. Diane

I am seeking the name of the parents of Charles Danehower who married Elizabeth Wilson in November of 1840. They were married by Rev. George Heilig in St. Peters Evangelical Church in North Wales. Also seeking the name of the parents of Elizabeth Wilson, her mother's maiden name was White. Any help you can give will be greatly appreciated. Milton Webb
Hello-- Can anyone suggest what churches German immigrants might have attended in the mid 1700's to 1800 besides Goshenhoppen? Ancestors were living in Upper Hanover. Thanks for any clues. Margaret Trauth
June, The number of ancestors just doubles with each generation.
Recently someone posted the numerical list of relatives each of us has, i.e. 2, 4, 8, 16, I thought I saved that post, but I can't find it. My grandson is looking for additional information as he is doing a unit on family history and I wanted to give him a copy of this. If anyone still has it, I would appreciate a copy being forwarded. Thanks, June
Hello, I have information that Isac Brechbiel's son, Joh. Christophel, was baptized at Lutheran Church in New Hanover, also another son listed in Swamp Reformed church later. However I cannot find where Isac was during his earlier years, or his parents names. He is not listed on any ship record. Does anyone have an idea where I might begin the search. I have checked the Brechbuehl's (name spelled in German) who came over from Trachswald, Switzerland Berne Canton from LDS records and can find no mention of an Isac in the Birth, Baptizism, or marriage records. I do know he was married to Catherine. Does this relate to anyone else's line or again does anyone have any ideas. Thanks, Brenda BSte902278@aol.com

I'm searching for info on Elias SWARTZ b: Nov 20, 1811 in Hatfield Twp, Montgomery Co, he married 1834 in Bucks Co, to Elizabeth CONOVER b: Jun 11, 1814 in Hatfield Twp, Montgomery Co. They had 5 children; Mary b: abt 1835, Samuel b: abt 1837, Levi b: Dec 27, 1839, Amanda b: abt 1852, & Christiana b: abt 1854. I'm at a stand still with this line and can't find any info regarding Elias SWARTZ (parent's names or siblings). Maybe his father's last name was spelled Schwartz/Schwarz or something similiar?? I don't know, just grasping at straws now. Would appreciate any info or suggestions. Dawn
