Harold- Same here. Johann Martin WEIGEL is also my ancestor. He's the one I was looking for in Christ Church Graveyard when I was told the stones from the earliest section of the burial ground had been moved. I seriously doubt any bodies were moved--they seldom do that--just move the stones. Joan In a message dated 11/7/2008 9:29:25 A.M.

I went? to Christ Evangelical church about 6 years ago and saw the small churchyard, looking for my Leitner's. I was told I think it was in the? 1960's (don't quote me though) the wanted to expand Sunday school area and moved plots to Prospect Hill Cemetery.? I looked for my ancestors there to no avail. I have never heard of this Neiman's Cemetery. I am looking for John Adam leitner died about 1851-1860.? (he was in the 1850 census). Jacob adn Lena or Magdelenea Silson.?

This church name always confused me. There is a Christ Lutheran in downtown York, but there is also a Christ Lutheran Church in Spry, at the corner of Queen Street extended (PA74) and Church Street.

I am looking for information on Rachel Steele of York County. She died sometime prior to 1858. Wonder if anyone had information on her spouse & children. One document in Lancaster county Orphan court records shows a distribution to heirs Mary, Elizabeth & Andrew Donnon great grandchildren of Rachel Steele of York county. They were the children of Andrew & Elizabeth (Burk) Donnon of Lancaster co, and later of Chester co, Pa. Andrew was dec'd by 1850 and Elizabeth & children are living with her mother in Lancaster county. I am actually related to the Burk side of this family But I am looking for an ancestor who seems to want to remain a brick wall!! Elizabeth Steele was a widow living in Little Britain township, Lancaster county 1810,1820 census and died in 1821 leaving a will STEELE,Elizabeth Will Book N Volume 1 page 48-49 Written 10 Aug 1821 Proved 20 aug 1821 of Little Britain township Lancaster county Children John,- $1.00 Susan Porter,- $1.00 Thomas, - $1.00 Margaret Burkins, - wearing apparel Sarah Hammond - $1.00 & James; Land residue of estate real & personal to son James Ex Sons Thomas and James witnessed by Timothy Haines , Slater Brown Her home was in the area of the Peach Bottom Ferry, which traveled to Peach Bottom York county It is possible she is a widow of a Steele from the York county side of the river :). Rachel has caught my interest since the Donnon's are related. The parents of Elizabeth Burk Donnon _ Hugh & Elizabeth Layman Burk lived very close to Elizabeth Steele. I can't help but feel they are somehow related. Marie **************Plan your next getaway with AOL Travel. Check out Today's Hot 5 Travel Deals!
