Hello, I am interested in finding information on my ancestor Andrew Miller and his wife Fannie Dershimer who lived in Wyoming county in the latter half of the 1800s. I believe that he was a farmer living in the Overfield area. Would you be able to recommend a researcher in the Wyoming County area who I could engage to conduct some research for me? Many thanks, Cynthia Campbell ccampbell11@partners.org

I'm putting together and family history book of sorts to give to my family for Christmas this year, so pictures would be a wonderful addition, if they are related. With so many name changes over the years, it's almost hard to know for sure, isn't it? *smile* Anyway, if you wouldn't mind sending me the picture, I'd be grateful. Thank you in advance, Sharon

Her name is Karen Krugman. She's wonderful and I've recieved absolutely fantastic DETAILED info on the Boomershine line. My ancestors were Henry B. Boomershine and Magdalena Christina "Mary" Swartzel. The spellings of both names were changed throughout history and she makes mention to just about all of them, from what I can tell. She also wrote a book about our ancestor called, "My Hessian Soldier". You may still purchase that, as well.

Birthplace of Anna BOMMERSHEIM: Frankfort-am-Main, Aidesheim, Germany. David, I have a photo of my g-grandmother, Anna BOMMERSHEIM SCHWARZ, which I'd like to send you free of charge.

Thanks to all who responded so far. I do intend to contact the HS in Tunkhannock on this, however, they are not open daily and I thought I'd post this now and see if anyone could give me some leads and maybe I could get out and check around this weekend. I'm thinking more that they might be in some type of "neighborhood" type of burial grounds???
