Comment by Kathleen Mae Ketterer Sterner on July 26, 2009 at 6:01am: I am looking for my Ketterer ancestors. I have hit a brick wall with John Ketterer (misspelled Ketrer in 1850 census of Berks County PA USA) . He was born in Germany on 25 JUN 1802 and his wife's first name was Rebecca.

I am also searching for the Morell family of Bavaria. My last ancestor that I can find was Adam Morell, arrived in Philadelphia PA from Bavaria in 1852. He married Katharina Epp, also from Bavaria. He was born 10 DEC 1826. I have been able to trace the Epp family thanks to Michael Muller in Germany but have no more information on the Morell's. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Comment by Daniel M. Ream on July 25, 2009 at 9:00am: Hi, I am looking for info on Peter Riehm Ream. Peter and his wife Anna Catherine Zeller were born in PA in 1786, she in Snyder Co. I am searching for his parents and his place of birth. I know that most of the children were born in Lycoming Co. PA, He was there in 1830, found in a census. They moved to OH, then on to IN, where both passed away in 1858 and 1860.

Comment by Robert Ricker on July 24, 2009 at 9:54pm: My grandmother was sent at age 14 to the US to make her own way. I suspect she was signed by her parents to a domestic service contract. Does anyone have a line on companies, societies or groups that arranged such deals? Grandmother Emma Stumpe n. Sickerman hailed from Bielefeld Westpahalia. She worked as a servant / maid in St. Louis MO
