Query: I am seeking the names of the parents and/or
wives of a Georg SEITZ (b. ca 1717)that first reputedly emmigrated to
(now)Berks Co. PA in the Early to mid 1700's. The first names of these
wives are believed to be Charity (1st wife) & (2nd)Catherine Gertrude.
First children of George show place of birth as Area that became Berks
Co. PA
on later census taken after Georg moved to Hardy Co. VA. Several of his
sons married Daughters of Johann Adam LOUGH/LOCH (Daniel SEITZ/SITES -
Eve LOUGH)(Jacob SEITZ/SITES Jr. - Margaret Lough)(George SEITZ/SITES Jr.
- Susanna LOUGH)(Abraham SEITZ/SITES - 1st m. Hannah LOUGH 2nd m. sister
Elizabeth LOUGH)
(Daniel SEITZ daughter married the younger brother Conrad LOUGH) Somwhere
surely there must be a reference to the surname(s) of Georg SEITZ
wives.... and hopefully the names of his parents. I would solve a
centuries old mystery if I could find parents for Georg and his place of
origin in Germany.His wives surnames would be a good start!
Thank-you for just taking the time to read this.

E-mail: Jack Stitzel
Query: Hi, I'm just getting started researching my
family's tree. My problem is; I seem to have hit a gap in the line.
According to my father's records, I am descended from Johannes Stitzel
(Stoetzel), who arrived in Pennsylvania in 1753. One of his sons was
Adam Stitzel, who was born on 1-15-1769, and died 9-21-1828. Adam
married Susan Levin, born 3-16-1773 and died 12-6-1854.
They had a son named Jacob, who was born 11-4-1799 and died 12-8-1863.
Jacob married a woman named Hannah E., of whom I have very little
information.
This is where my missing link occurs. Jacob and Hannah had a son, who
was my great, great grandfather. I have absolutely no record of him.
He, in turn, had a son named Harry H. Stitzel. Sometime during Harry's
lifetime, the family migrated to Illinois.
If you could provide me with any information on Jacob's wife, Hannah E.,
or their son, Harry Stitzel's father; I would greatly appreciate it.
Also, any other suggestions, you might have, would also be appreciated.

so I need to locate the original cemetery records, does anyone know where

I'm searching for any information about the KEMP family from Kutztown,
Berks County, PA.
I'm looking to find who was in pocession of the KEMP Hotel, circa 1788
(formerly the LEVAN Tavern)
after GEORGE and SUSANNA LEVAN KEMP passed on. This would be in the
early 1800's. I'd
like to follow the ownership of the Inn from GEORGE and SUSANNA KEMP to
the present, if
possible. The Kemp Hotel is situated on the main road leading out of
Kutztown. The Inn was built
in 1740 by DANIEL LEVAN.
Another possible family nameI have is JOHN and ELIZABETH KEMP circa 1852
Thank you in advance!!

E-mail: Morris G. Swadener Jr.
Query: According to a cousin a reference to a Johannes
Schwedener of
Greenwich Township, Berks County was listed in "German Settlers
a listing of April 9, 1762", from advertisments in German newspapers
published in Philadelphia and Germantown, 1743-1800 by
Edward W. Hocker.
This individual, Johannes Mardin/Martin Schwedner, may be the same
individual who arrived at
the Port of Philadelphia on September 16, 1738 on the Queen
Elizabeth, with Captain Alexander Hope, Master from Rotterdam
and last from Deal, England.
At the time of his arrival, if my information is correct,
Johannes was 51 years of age, had a seven year old son and a wife.
The son, John Schwedner(1731-1790), later changing the spelling to
Swadner,
shows in in Libertytown, Maryland. It is at this point that
I can trace my family and all of his descendants.
Any information on Johannes would be greatly appreciated
