I particularly want dates for Ann. I do know they had 4 children in York Co., PA, but I lost them around 1810. I did find some evidence that this family moved to Warren CO., IL, but I have no proof.

I'm related to the Peter Strein, who I think is a cousin of Johann Georg Strein. He also appears in York County in the early 1770's. There is a lot of interaction between these two families. I'm assuming you've found the OCD records already. It looks like you've looked through the records at the York Historical Society. I've actually been doing research on George Strein recently to understand the relationship and hopefully learn more about Peter's family. I'm trying to figure out how exactly he is related to Peter. I believe George's wife name was Elizabeth Zellers. There is a George Strein is referred to in a will of John Zellers in 1774. I found two early deed records in Philadelphia County for George Strein, which ties him to the same one in York County. I'd be interested in sharing information with you and comparing notes.

Dear Jeanette, You have already have the answer to at least one of your questions. When a person writes a will he appoints an "executor/s" to settle his estate. When a person dies intestate the court appoints an "administrator/s" to settle the estate. So we know your Jacob Schnell died intestate. The court usually appoints someone closely associated with the deceased as administrator. If the deceased is an older man with a family, the administrator is often the wife, a son, or a son-in-law (or any combination of them). If he is a younger man, the administrator may be his father, brother, or brother-in-law. There are always exceptions, but this is generally the case. The probate documents contain many clues as to the property of the deceased. That "chattle and such" is either an inventory of his estate or a list of items sold from the estate (or you may even have both). The inventory won't list real property (i.e., land), but it will detail all the personal property he owned. The inventory will give you a good idea of the size of his estate. How many beds did he own? Were his plates made of china, pewter, or earthenware? Did he own farm equipment? Did they list cattle, cows, and sheep? Does the inventory list any crops like wheat, rye, and flax? The best way to determine if he owned real property (land) is to consult the deed records. If he owned any, you may find deeds where his administrators disposed of his property following his death. Other clues to relationships can be found in the Administrator's Account, which I assume you received. You will find a lot of small distributions, but you may get lucky and find a lists of heirs to whom money was distributed. Sometimes these accounts will show money received from the sale of land. Every piece of paper in a probate file is valuable and worth a thorough review. I highly recommend that anyone doing research invest in at least one basic guide to genealogy. It will help you understand and get the most information out of all those documents you are collecting. "The Researcher's Guide to American Genealogy" by Greenwood is my personal favorite, but there are many such books on the market. Your library probably carries some basic books like this as well. Another alternative is to google "tutorial" (or "lesson") and "probate records." Below is just one site (out of many) I found when doing so: http://www.surnames.com/begin/research_consultant_training/LESSON_9_US_Probate_&_Court_Records.pdf Good luck.

I am looking for anyone who might have any information on Jacob Shnell who died in York Co., PA. 1826. The adminstrators of his estate were Henry Schnell and Peter Schnell along with Adam Mosser all of York Co., PA. I am looking for the names of his, Jacob Shnell, children. Can any help me along these lines? I have the papers of his estate, actually his Chattle and such. It is from Windsor Twp., York Co., PA.. I am guessing there was no will as that did not come with the papers I ordered from the York Co. Archives. Is there another place to look for a will? Maybe he didn't own property when he died. I really know nothing and am looking for anything that might help me. Thank you, Jeanette from OH.

Hello Folks: The Perry Historians, a genealogical library located northeast of New Bloomfield, Perry Co., PA. on Rt.34 are going to be holding our annual Genealogical Workshop (a Beginners Workshop) at the Harry Lenig Library on Saturday, March 7, 2009 from 9:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. Please note that this year we are breaking our workshops into two groups - as we have had many folks in the past who were just starting out and we could not concentrate on what you do when you begin family research and the sources available - we had to split the day devoting the secondhalf to those who had been doing research for a while. But on this day (March 7th) we will be holding our workshop for those who are beginning their family tree. Then on Saturday, April 4, 2009 from 9:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m., we will be holding another Genealogical Workshop - this time an Advanced resource day for those who have been doing research for a while and may need assistance and suggestions on how to "break those walls down". All are welcome and it is FREE of charge. All we ask is that you let us know at least a week in advance that you may be attending - so that we have enough handouts available - by e-mailing: Donna@ThePerryHistorians.org For more information about our library - you can check out our website: www.ThePerryHistorians.org Look forward to seeing you there! Donna Heller Zinn volunteer / Director of The Perry Historians
