Hi Everyone, I am new to your list and my wife and I hope you'all had a Merry Christmas. I am researching the following families and I do know of one that lived in Philly but if there are any more I do not know. The families are, Burrows, Messick, Phillips, Short and Walls. You'all have a Happy New Year. Take care, Bill and Rachelle Short ----- Original Message ----- From: "phillylorri" <phillylorri@earthlink.net> To: <PAPHILAD-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, December 26, 2005 4:25 PM Subject: Re: [PAPHL] Ulrich Otto, circa 1772, Philadelphis > There is a Lutheran archives in Phila.7301 germantown ave 215-2486383 they > are nice people to deal with. > Lorri > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "NATALIE BURROWS" <ndburrows@verizon.net> > To: <PAPHILAD-L@rootsweb.com> > Sent: Monday, December 26, 2005 10:20 AM > Subject: Re: [PAPHL] Ulrich Otto, circa 1772, Philadelphis > > >> Thanks, Merle.
