Hello, My name is Sheila and I am a Newbie to Genealogical Research. I will be researching the surnames: CLUSKEY FITZGERALD AKENS DAVIS Anyone that is currently researching any of these names please feel free to send me and the list an email. Also, any hints or tips you would like to give me would be greatly appreciated. I will be relying on the "net" a great deal as the cost of petrol here in England is outrageous. Thank you for your time and I look forward to joining the search with all of you. Cheers! Sheila

I thought, perhaps, there might be someone from this who might be interested in this message and new source for information. This info does not help me with my German-Texan ancestrey, but it does apply to my Pennsylvania Dutch roots.

Hi everyone, trying to locate Christian SAMMET who was b. in 1735 in Germany and m. Maria Stahlern in 1755 in the First Reformed Church in Pa. Thanks..kim

Seeking info on the 4 bros who came from Ronnenberg/Baumholder GER to PA: Jacob ZUMBRO in 1753; Johanes ZUMBRO in 1756; Joseph ZUMBRO in 1751; and Peter ZUMBRO in 1756. They arrived in Philadelphia and scattered in several different counties in PA (I think). I did not see the ZUMBRO name in the 1790 PA census; however, I did see an "Eva ZUMBRO" who may be Joseph's widow in Berk Co. I have some info on Joseph but nothing on the other 3 brothers.

Hi Mark, There is information to be found on the GENUKI UK and Ireland Genealogy site re: date stones. Look at the Guernsey site. They have an ongoing datestone project that might give you more information on the history of the stones.

Phyllis, did you ever get to those obits for Berks County and the newspapers? Will you tell me how you did it. I went up and down and all around. Ella in Michigan (ellah@prodigy.net)

I don't get it, either. All I get is the one search box and it only has most recent obituaries. I thought this was for Berks County way back when. Ella

Dear Diane, I must be putting the e-mail in wrong for the Pa obits. If you would be so kind as to e-mail the entire address to me I would appreciate it. Sorry I am so dense. Would really like to try this site. My sur names are Brosmer, Flick, Harmon, Hawhee and Wood. Thank you very much, Phyllis my e-mail phyllisrwood@aol.com

When you enter the menu, scroll down to the 'site search' box. Key in the surname you are looking for in the box and see what you find! This site has not only obituaries, but also newspaper clippings in a separate file for such items as reunions, anniverseries, weddings, etc. The 'site search' will check both files. If you want to just brouse the obituary part, you can select that file from the main screen where is says 'click here' in the explanation of obituaries. When that screen comes up, it will display the most recent additions to the file since your last visit. You can choose 'set preferences' in the box near the top of the screen to have it display names in chronological, alphabetic, or other criteria order and within a specified time period added. This is not the 'death date' for any person - it is the date when input was done to add the obit to the file. If you find a name you want to see the info for, just hilight the name and press your 'return/enter' key. I hope this helps in understanding how this site works! http://www.pa-roots.com/eastpa/ Good luck!

Hi, Listers I'm a writer doing a magazine piece on the custom of using datestones in residential construction. There's not much written on the subject, but one source told me he thought it was something the Germans brought to the U.S. Somehow, this rings true. I DO know that, here in southeastern Pennsylvania -- a major destination for German immigrants -- there are lots of old stone houses with late 18th and early 19th century datestones. Anyone have any info re: this? Mark E. Dixon Wayne, PA

Listees: The following website at http://www.pa-roots.com/eastpa/ has just added about 1000+ names of persons who died 1797-1824 and their names were reported in the Reading Adler Newspaper during that time.   Check out the site if you have anyone in your lines who died in the Berks County area or who had kinfolk who lived in the Reading area then. Some of the obits contained info for people who died outside Berks County. This site encompasses eastern PA area and is a good site to bookmark and check back periodically. Scroll down to the query box and search for your surnames.
