Surnames: Severs Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/lBHBAIB/97 Message Board Post: My mother May Severs DiVietro b.1903 Phila. PA. was one of the daughters of Edward Severs b.1875 and Hannah Wallice both born in PA.. Edward's parents were Joshua Severs b. 1840 Ohio and Mary (last name)? b. PA. I can find no other Joshua Severs w/ same info. as above w/exception of one who is the son of David Severs b.1814 and Hannah Britton both b.in Ohio. David's ancestry appears to be of German descent. My mother, May Severs, and her Siblings claimed to be of English Descent w/ Irish and French through marriages. Could they have been mistaken through many Generations, and I am of German descent? Or is David not my Great Grandfather, Josuha's, father? Could there be an Engish connection to Josuha Severs or have I just met my German Ancestors? Anyone Please? James Severs DiVietro
