This was found at http://www.msnbc.com/news/246411.asp THE NEW WEB SITE (www.familysearch.org) won't officially launch until mid-April, but it is expected to "go live" for testing any day now. Church officials originally planned to leave the site open to all during he test period. But for fear of being swamped, they now may limit access to official testers with assigned passwords. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints collects genealogical records of all kinds because the Mormons believe it is important to perform religious rites on behalf of dead ancestors. It has the world's largest collection of such data. Genealogy is one of the most popular subjects on the Internet. As more information goes online, it seems to create more genealogists. About 100 million Americans have at least dabbled in it, and 19 million actively research their family history, according to a 1995 Maritz Marketing Research study for American Demographics magazine. Rootsweb (www.rootsweb.org) has more than 200,000 subscribers to 3,000 e-mail lists about genealogy. The number of subscribers is growing rapidly, according to John V. Wylie, a professional genealogist from Grand Prairie, Texas. Wylie is a co-founder of GENTECH (www.gentech.org), a non-profit society to help genealogists use technology. Mormon Church officials are vague about what Web surfers can expect to find on their new site, but that hasn't dampened genealogists' enthusiasm. I think the reaction is probably going to be unanimously, 'Wow! It's about time!"' said Marthe Arends, editor of the newsletter Pioneers Online (www.eskimo.com/~mnarends), based in Bellevue, Wash. The newsletter helps genealogists use the Internet. With 2.1 million rolls of microfilm, 700,000 microfiches and 280,000 books, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (www.lds.org) is the ultimate source for many genealogists. The master collection, which includes the birth, death and marriage records of an estimated 6 billion people, is kept in a vault carved 900 feet into the side of Granite Mountain. Completed in 1964, the vault is a testament to the importance the Church places on tracing one's ancestors and performing for them vicarious ordinances of baptism and marriage so that those who lived and died before Joseph Smith founded the church in 1830 can enjoy the benefits of God's grace. The vault contains six separate chambers, each 200 feet long, 30 feet wide and 15 feet tall. The entire vault, dug into the side of the canyon, lies 800 to 900 feet under the mountaintop. The microfilm records are maintained at a temperature below 70 degrees Fahrenheit and at a humidity below 35 percent. Due to the need for a controlled environment, visitors are not permitted, but MSNBC's 360-degree surround video gives you a sense of what one sees at the mouth of the vault. Anyone can use the materials at the Family History Library in Salt Lake City free of charge. They may also borrow materials for a small handling fee at any one of the library's 3,200 branches. A tiny, but important portion of that is available by computer. In 1978, the church began computerizing some of its records in a program dubbed FamilySearch. The program is currently only offered at libraries and branch libraries. The church won't sell FamilySearch to individuals because it can't afford to offer everyone support for DOS, the older operating system the program requires. That makes it the perfect candidate for putting on the Web. With 2 billion rolls of microfilm, 700,000 microfiches and 280,000 books, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (www.lds.org) is the ultimate source for many genealogists. One of the first FamilySearch databases expected to be offered on line is Ancestral File. The simple database lets surfers type in names and find family trees compiled by other researchers, mostly amateurs. As useful as that can be, the information is only as good as the person who submitted it," said Arends. "I'd personaly like to see more primary sources being put online." The International Genealogical Index, also part of FamilySearch, lets researchers search millions of marriage, death and birth records taken from records in the United States and abroad. The church won't say if the index will be offered on the Web site. Even with thousands of church volunteers typing the information from original records into computers, "We can digitize only a tiny fraction of what we capture each year," said David Rencher, manager of public outreach for the Family History Department of the Mormon Church. Still, the output is impressive. Over the past year, the church not only updated FamilySearch, but also released five sets of CD-ROMs reaching back 450 years and ranging from Australian Vital Records to the 1851 British Census. In 1999, it will release the full 1880 U.S. Census and the 1881 British Census, both on CD-ROM. Church volunteers are also working on a 17 million-person database of Ellis Island immigrants that will be released on CD-ROM by the church, posted online by the Statue of Liberty-Ellis Island Foundation (www.ellisisland.org) and made available at the new American Family Immigrant History Center due to open late next year on Ellis Island.

An official press release has been gvien by the LDS Church at: http://lds.org/en/4_News_Update/19990304_FIGS.html In talking with a friend of mine at the Church, he says they were very appprehensive about their online test in that it would probably blow away their site. Thanks! Don

I believe my Wegley family is also listed. However, there is a copy in the Main Library in Cincinnati. I hope that eases your conscience. Thanks, Barbara Wegley Anderson

Sitting on my shelf since 1988 is a copy of " 'The Strassburger Family and Allied Families of Pennsylvania' being the ancestry of Jacob Andrew Strassburger, esquire of Montgomery County, Pennsylvania by his son Ralph Beaver Strassburger, Gwynedd Valley, Pa, printed for private circulation 1922" It has chapters on families: STRASSBURGER, YEAGER, STOUT, HARTZELL, KERN, SCHWENK, BAUER, LANDIS, MARKLEY, DOTTERER, SHOEMAKER, KOLB, ZIEGLER, CLEMENS, LEDERACH. If the book is available in the various libraries in and around your list, please let me know so my conscience doesn't continue to bother me. If not, I am willing (with your great patience) to do some lookups and sharing of the information he wrote. There are several chapters that cover the Palatinate and other migratory information, all of which is general in nature, but the family histories are well done. Ray P.S. These are not my lines; the book was too good to pass by.

Hello Everyone! It has been a while since I posted my surnames and since there are some new people I thought I would get this out in front of everyone again. I don't remember if I have thanked everyone that has helped so Far if I haven't I apologize for my neglect and would like to thank you all for your assistance. The idea is that JOHANN CONRAD LORSBACH/LORSCHBACH/LORSBACHIO is the emigrant and GEORGE (abt. 1755) and HENRY LUSHBAUGH (b. 1751) are his sons. But that still to be proven. I am looking for information on JOHANN CONRAD LORSBACH/LORSCHBACH/LORSBACHIO. He was born in Lampertheim on Dec. 09, 1722. JOHANN CONRAD was the Twin of CARL LUDWIG LORSBACH/LORSCHBACH/LORSBACHIO. JOHANN CONRAD acted as a Godfather 16 Sept. 1729. By that time he was 7 years old. The entry read "JOHANN CONRAD the little son of the late parson JOHANN HENRICH of this village....." The family that he acted as godfather for was JOHANN GEORG and ANNA MARITHA HAUCK. The little HAUCK was also named JOHANN CONRAD, of course. The last church record found in Germany for JOHANN CONRAD LORSBACH is in 1737. So close as I can figure is that somewhere between 1737 and 1748 JOHANN CONRAD LORSBACH immigrated to America. I know it was 1748 because that was the year that JOHANN CONRAD married SUSANNA HERB in the Faulkner Swamp Reformed Church on November 17, 1748. There is no indication right now that JOHANN and SUSANNA knew each other before moving to this country. JOHANN CONRAD LORSBACH/LORSCHBACH/LORSBACHIO is found in Sower's Newspaper 16, October 1749, the following appeared: "JOHANN CONRAD LORSCHBACH, near the stone church. Old Goshengoppen." The only other reference to JOHANN CONRAD LORSBACH/LORSCHBACH/LORSBACHIO is in the will of JACOB HAUCK. I would like to find a copy of that other LORSBACH family members may be mentioned in it. After this JOHANN and his wife SUSANNA just disappear. I don't know of any children, tax-records or any entry in some death register. The idea occurs to me that maybe HENRY and GEORGE could not remember their parents because they became orphans when they were still to young to remember what had happened to them. This brings back something I heard once about 2 little Loshbaugh boys were the only survivors of a whole family and where helped along by other people. Since I don't recall a time period for that story or really much more than that perhaps the story was about GEORGE and HENRY. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Okay now on to HENRY LUSHBAUGH born 1751 in Northumberland, PA (I think has not really been proved yet). I do know that he lived in Lycoming, PA in 1820. Once believed to be the immigrant ancestor from Alsace-Lorraine or from German-speaking area of Switzerland. Served in the 12th Pennsylvania German Regiment for three years enlisting from Sudbury, Penn in 1776 first wife CATHERINE from whom our Loshbaughs descend. Was a private in CAPT. JOHN HARRIS' company COL WILLIAM COOK'S 12th Pennsylvania regiment. Battles of Piscataway and Ash Swamp Revolutionary War. He enlisted a Sunbury, Pennsylvania in 1776 and served 3 years. He was a shoemaker and a farmer. That is about all that I have. It is more than what I did have. Some of the information came from those of you that have helped me other is following leads that may have been provided knowingly or unknowingly. Thanks! Bob Loshbaugh from out ‘ere in California
