Recently I requested info from the Swiss archives in Bern concerning the ancestors of Ulrich Reinhard, b. 1704, who came to Phila in 1733. I merely wanted paper confirmation of the info posted on the LDS website (www.familysearch.org Search the Ancestor File of Ulli Reinhard - use this exact spelling). To my surprise, the reply contained a descent that is somewhat different from the one posted on the LDS website. So, if it is at all useful to Reinhard researchers, I am happy to share it. I would like to make another plea for someone to set up and moderate a Reinhard (Reinhardt, Rinehart, Rheinhart, etc) list on Rootsweb so we might have a central place to actively share and exchange information, trace migration patterns, and contact other descendants who might share our particular line. It is a tremendous help to subscribe to such a family list and receive up-to-date postings through e-mail. Sorry to say I have an old computer with a small memory and don't think I could handle the moderator's job. Anyone with comments on any of the above, please direct them to one of the lists where this appears, if possible. Ann McCormack The file follows: ULLI REINHARD - b. 21 Aug 1704, Sumiswald, Switzerland. The following information was received from the Swiss Archives, Bern, Switzerland. Since this information differs from that posted on the LDS website, I do not consider one any more correct than the other, and would be happy to see the differences resolved. CLAUS (NIKLAUS) REINHARD "an der Matten" Probably brother of Andres, b. abt 1555/1562, Joseph, b. abt. 1555/1565, and Ulli, b. abt 1560/1570. b. about 1550/1560 m. Katharina Sparr Children b.
