Greetings. After 35 years of research a glimmer in the darkness. John Penticoff, ie Pentico later was born about 1800 in Pennsylvania USA. supposedly of Germanic extraction. Pentico is in the book of Italian names but we were told they were Penticoff and found proof on ancestor' s siblings war records. We know Katherine YOUNG is down line of Henry YOUNG down line of JUNG. We have her line back 4 more generations. Now finding this name I also see its in same area that YOUNG/JUNG was also. Along with three other family names she is tracking. I have been doing dominately PENTICO PENTICOFF and direct collateral lines, in hopes of a clue to fall out. So if my soundexing working I suspect that Benninghoff or variants there of are our ancestors. Since many other family names arise here I would love to hear from anyone who may be able to assist. I start with this county because it was later changed and the time line is from this period. 1750s forward. Susi Pentico SusiCP@aol.com or SusiCP@cox.net
