In a message dated 99-02-02 14:03:02 EST, you write: > Searching for parents & sibs of Johnathan GRIEST b. 08 / 13 / 1793 York > Co. PA. - d. 04 / 23 / 1872 Pickaway Co. OH. + Mary ? : b. 06 / 07 / > 1785 Baltimore, MD. Paul, I didn't find a Jonathan born in 1793 in my books for York County but I did find a whole bunch of Griest/Grists in York County in the records of Warrington Monthly Meeting and even far more in the records of Menallen Monthly Meeting in Adams County (which would have been part of York County until 1800). It looks to me as if all (or at least most) of the Griests were Quakers--so perhaps that will narrow down your search a bit. Joan
