Perhaps we can help each other. In my Kantner (Gander) line I have the following: Susanna Frey married Jacob Kantner about 1769. He was born Berks County, Tulpehocken Township about 1740, a brother in my line. Abraham Frey married Appolonia Kantner also about 1769. She was born Berks County, Tulpehocken Township 1749, a sister in my line. Could these be siblings of mentioned Frey ancestors? N.
