Roy, I am interested in a copy of the book you quoted from . Is it possible to buy one. The Weimer and Fike are my lines. My Grandfather was Edwin Clarence Weimer. sara roymiller@wyoming.com wrote: > This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. > > Classification: Query > > Message Board URL: > > http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/IEC.2ACE/754.2.1.1 > > Message Board Post: > > Quoting from Merilyn B.

Hello Lynn Taylor, Is your direct Fike Ancestor Magdalena? Mine is Susannah. They were daughters of Peter Fike and Magdalena Arnold Fike. The book I referred to is "Christian Fike and His Descendants" 1996, by Merilyn B. Fike Morrow, 5215 Casa Grande Road, Temple, PA 19560. I do not know if it is still available. I assume so. It is a valuable resource of over 1300 pages to those of us who are related to the Fikes and the related families. In the early years the German Brethren Church Families of Fike, Arnold, Snyder and Weimer were closely allied. Rosalie
