Not exactly genealogic in nature, but; does anyone have a receipe for applebutter? Thanks, Bonnie

I am looking for information that friends of a Vera Jacobs set up a library with her research of the Wheatcraft surname. I would appreciate any information in locating this library or any one who knows anything about it.

My mother in law,Rose L. Rouse was a registered nurse in the army Nurse Corp. She enlisted from Pennsylvania serving until 1919. While serving at Cape May, New Jersey, she cared for war injured as well as influenza victims. She lived to tell about. She was ill herself and lost the hearing in one ear due it the flu. Frances

Is this list still in existance or have I been removed for some reason? If anyone knows let me know and also koates@voicenet.com, because he has not received any mail either in WEEKS. Love the list and want it to return. Barbara

bob, i'm outta town but will get back on topic and respond to you on tues. do you know where the bus. was located? rod

For over twenty years now I have been stumped by one of my PD ancestors' name. It is MARGARET OVERDAUL and she married LUDWIG DORMEYER in about 1797, probably in Centre CO. I have never even seen the name OVERDAUL listed in an index of any sort! I have seen it spelled OLVERDAUl in a family written history, but doubt that is correct. I am wondering if, since these were all ist generation Germans, if the spelling should be OFFERDAUL? But I have looked for that as well and have never seen it either! I will welcome any and all suggestions! Charles Johnson chasj@juno.com

My mother had an older sister who in October 1918, at the age of 22, answered a call from the government for civilian nurses. She left home by train, at her own expense, and reported to the military hospital at Ft. Riley, Kansas, where she immediately commenced nursing the sick soldiers. Eleven days after her arrival there she was dead, a victim of one of the deadliest world-wide epidemics that has ever occured. Charles Johnson chasj@juno.com

I joined the mailing list specifically to ask a question of all you German orthographers, but I'm enjoying it immensely--from pickled eggs to Poker Alice. I'm reseaching a family that was recorded as "COW" by the English speaking clerks. They settled in the Cumberland Valley. Some were Evangelical Lutherans of the Conococheague District; others were German Baptist Brethern. Any thoughts on what the original German name could have been and why the name eventually evolved into "COY"? There's no sense in searching on "COW". It brings up everyone who ever left his widow a cow, which is practically everyone! Bonnie Coy (searching for COW and linked families WELBAUM, HOFFMAN and GRISAMER)

Because it's a custon that originated in Holstien. A region and former duchy of northern Germany at the base of the Jutland Peninsula.

Hi All, I am writing this because I have seen so many people write in and say they delete most of the messages before they are read if the names they are searching are not in the heading of the message. I am a Genealogist, and I leave no stone unturned. It is a good idea to read all messages, if you have time and a large hard drive. Each message is inquiring about a person or family thay are searching for. There might be a connection to a sister or brother of your family which may lead you to a mother or father or maybe both. Fo example, names that are so common as Jones. I save all messages with the Jones Surname in the same time frame, or earlier, and area where my Thomas Jones, son of James, was born. It could lead me to a brother or sister of my James Jones, which I have no information on at the present time. I may get a lead that wayon James Jones Parents. You probably all knew this, but I just wanted to throw it out there. As a Genealogist, we search every piece of the puzzle and don't discard any piece until it is thoroughly investigated. Thank you Shawnnee

My great uncles in SE PA grew "ground cherries", a vine-like plant that had small fruit with a paper-like skin that had to be peeled off. These were then made into pies, etc. No one seems to grow them anymore, and I can't seem to find out what they really were. Any ideas? Mike in NY

I have just recently learned that in the Lewis genealogy they intermarried into the Gochnauer's. I am looking for either someone that may have the book "Lewis of Warner Hall" by Merow E. Sorley or if someone can tell me if there is an Irish List that I can get on to place a query. Other than alt.genealogy.surname. If anyone has the Lewis book please contact me direct: w.a.goch@why.net Thanks.

Hi Sharon, Thanks for your work on my Allabaugh relative. I'm sorry I don't know any more info about her. She was born 1763 in Montgomery PA and died 20-12-1842 in the same Co. and that is all I know. I wish I knew her parents!!! She is buried in Shippack Mennonite Cem in Mont Co. so I hope some day to visit PA and make the rounds of several cem in the counties of Lancaster, Montgomery and York. From further research, I believe her name was probably ALLEBACH. Seems several siblings and close relatives married into this family. Dick Brunt dbrunt1@aol.com

This is the Original "MERZ" speaking, and I would like to say that I was quite intrigued to see the interest my name sparked by so many readers of your list. Actually, I should say I am flattered. But now to my name itself, "Merz" is spelled without "T", although when I say my name out loud it sounds as if there was a "T" in it, because that's just the way we original Germans pronounce the letter "Z" (Tzet) like Zeppelin. Now have my mail I get from English speaking friends comes with the "T", and I guess that's what happened with most Merz's that after a while you just stop fighting, and adopt what is inevitable, and so, in many cases they original "Merz" became a "Mertz". That is not to say that the name MERTZ did not exist on its own, when I was young over at the old country, I dated a girl by the name of "Mertz", could you imagine what kind of research problems I would have today if I had married her? Have a good day, everyone, your Hessian John "Merz". <http://www.cgo.wave.ca/~hessian>
