Need advice where to look in Pa. and maybe Md. Ron - In a word, Lancaster. I am very interested in this becaue my ancestor Johann Jacob FRANCK or FRANK, also from Sinsheim, b 1714, was also on the Friendship in that year. He married in 1740 and stayed in Philadelphia until about 1753, and then moved to Lancaster. I have not noticed this name but then I haven't looked for it. Is he in Annette Kunselman Burgert's "Eighteenth Century Immigrants from the Northern Kraichgau" ? Jacob Frank is, and so is his wife, she was a BISCHOFF. I would like to hear more, if you know more.

I have three stumbling blocks in my research. If anyone can help please do. MARTIN PENNINGER ( PINEGAR, BENINGER, BENNEGAR, BEENINGER, BANINGER, BINNICKER) landed in Phil.in 1739 from the ship Friendship, and disappears until 1754. Need advice where to look in Pa. and maybe Md. How does one determine the Microfilm to order either from Germany or LDS for the towns/villages listed below? Need information or advice in researching ancestors from the following towns/villages in Germany(1700-1400) Jasthausen, Kressbach, Mockmul and Sinsheim all in Baden/ Wurttemberg. Ron Penninger

Hi, I am looking for any information on the following to help me with my FETTER research. John Sheridan FETTER, 1865-1946 and his wife Amanda Mitilda MILLER, 1868-1933 were born in Schaefferstown, Lebanon County, PA. In 1924 John and Amanda went to Atlantic City, New Jersey and resided at South Morris Avenue. They owned and operated the following hotels: 1. The Jefferson 2. The Monticella 3. The Devonshire 4. The Boscobel 5. The Madison The Madison still is there today and it is on Dr. Martin Luther King Blvd. (Illinois Avenue) under the same name. At some point of time the Monticello became a shared ownership under the name of Fetter & Hollinger. If anyone is researching this FETTER family or has any information on the above Hotels, please email me at [email protected] Thank You, Lisa

Hi All- just a note on policy for our Penna-Dutch list. This list is not, and never was, exclusively genealogy.

Looking for information on Parky and Anna Mummert and their husbands, Christian and Ludwig Swoberland. Parky and Anna were the daughters of William Mummert, b. 7 Apr 1726 and Catherine Malhaun. William was the son of Diedrick and Anna Mummert. Thanks! Don & Jeanine

So sorry about this personal message. I guess I hit the wrong address in the address book Sylvia Brooks wrote: > Hi, > Sorry to hear about the dog. Since you had him so long, I guess it

Hi, Sorry to hear about the dog. Since you had him so long, I guess it seemed like you lost a family member. From what you were saying, he certainly wasn't a hard pet to feed - no special foods, etc. I finally played a little politics today, and got the roofer to come see me. They decided that I had a "big" problem. But, it rained yesterday and all day today, so they couldn't do anything about it 'til it stops raining, and they can pump the water off the roof (flat roof)! They brought me a 55 gallon trash can to put under the big leak, and covered the majority of the rest of the room with the blue tarps they use to cover houses when they have tornados and hurricanes. The carpet is soaked, the bed is soaked, including linens, and every towel in the place but 2 is soaked. He said if had realized it was this bad, he could have brought someone over yesterday. The mattress and box spring are in the dining room, as well as the blanket and comforter that were on the bed - waiting to dry. Take care, and it is good to hear from you. Sylvia

Let's keep it to Penna-Dutch and forget the roofer and the dog.

([email protected]) BIOGRAPHIES OF TWO REVOLUTIONARIES TO BE ONLINE. To attract more visitors to our web site, and also to solicit helpful feedback, we will present online the biographical essays on John Armstrong and Peter Kachlein. These works in progress will be posted by 15 July. The final versions of these essays will be published in volume three of Lawmaking and Legislators in Pennsylvania: A Biographical Dictionary. John Armstrong, an Irish-born Presbyterian who immigrated to the Cumberland Valley at mid-eighteenth century, served three years in Pennsylvania's colonial Assembly and two years in the Continental Congress, but is best remembered for his military leadership in the French and Indian War and the American Revolution. His colorful career included his victory over Indian forces at the battle of Kitanning on the Allegheny River in 1756, and the defense of Charleston, South Carolina, during an attempted British invasion in 1776. Peter Kachlein, a German-born miller who immigrated to Pennsylvania, played an active role in the early history of Easton in Northampton County; he also served as sheriff of that county during the violent struggle with Connecticut over the Wyoming Valley. His participation in the 1775 Assembly was interrupted by his service as a lieutenant colonel of the Northampton County militia and of the Flying Camp during the Revolution. Kachlein was one of the leading revolutionaries of Northampton County. We welcome your comments and suggestions on the essays. Any corrections or additions should be accompanied with the source of the information, and, if possible, a transcription of the evidence. We can not add or correct any information unless we can verify the evidence ourselves. Please send any comments, corrections, or additions to me at [email protected] or Dr. Craig W. Horle, Biographical Dictionary of Pennsylvania Legislators, 917 Gladfelter Hall (025-24), Berks Mall, Phila. PA 19122. MICHAEL SWOOPE'S BOND AS A TAVERN KEEPER. The following is a typical mid-eighteenth century bond for keeping a tavern. It was granted to Michael Swope or Swoope, who represented York County in the colonial legislature from 1768 until 1776, and then served in the first assembly of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Swoope was a colonel of the Flying Camp and was captured by the British when Fort Washington was taken. He was not released until January 1781. York County Quarter Sessions Docket Book, 1 July 1750 Michael Swoope tenet in [held liable for] £100 Benjamin Swoope in £100 Sub Conditione That if the above Michael Swoope shall not at any Time during the ensuing Year suffer any Drunkenness, unlawful Gaming, or any other Disorders, nor sell any Drink to the Indians to debauch or hurt them, But in all Things observe & practice all Laws and Ordinances of this Government relating to the Employment of Tavernkeeping &c PREMIUMS. So far our effort to build membership in The Friends of the Biographical Dictionary, an organization of supporters of the project, has been of only very limited success. We had hoped to raise much needed revenue for our project through memberships. All levels of memberships include premiums. By becoming members, individuals will not only make a donation to our project but receive something of value that should be appealing to them. We have currently been discussing changing our premiums so as to build membership more effectively. Unfortunately we really don't know what premiums supporters of our project would like, that would be feasible. Maybe you can help. Please take a look at our premiums page http://www.bdopl.com/members.html and let us know whether or not you think we should change our premiums package. How can we more effectively convince people to join? This is important. Since losing our National Endowment for the Humanities funding in 1997, we have had to cut our staff from six full-time historians to three. Presently we are seriously understaffed. While funding for our current full-time staff of three is secure at present, thanks to a generous grant from the Pennsylvania House of Representatives, raising additional revenues is essential for the project's continued well-being. An enormous amount of research lies before us, and we don't want to cut back on the exhaustive research and careful writing that has always been our trademark. Our fundraising efforts have had some success, raising about $20,000 over the last two years, but that still falls far short of the funds we need. Currently our fundraising is focused on raising enough to maintain and expand the size of our part-time professional staff. Your suggestions on how to make our membership drive more effective will be greatly appreciated.
