Comment by Savannah Teel on August 18, 2011 at 5:41pm: Is anyone here Decedents of the name Yufer? It is a common name in the north.

Comment by Daniel M. Ream on June 11, 2011 at 9:28am: Hi Kate, The headstone years are 1787 for Peter REAM birth and 1788 for birth of Anna Catherine Zeller. Online you will see dates of 1786. There are alot of Peter Ream's, mine is married to Anna Catherine Zeller. Peter died Jan 6 1858. Anna Catherine died March 4 1860.

Comment by Sarah Ann Ashley on June 11, 2011 at 1:35am: Hi

I am interested in the Gullifords. They originated in Somerset in the UK. Simon Gulliford arrived in 1859, his wife n kids a couple of years later. Can follow them via the census to 1930.

Comment by Eileen Souza on May 9, 2011 at 5:48pm: I am a new member of the group. My research is primarily in Northumberland County, PA, especially in Shamokin and Mount Carmel. I may have a line of Pennsylvania Germans that go back into Berks County.

Comment by Kathleen Mangold on March 4, 2011 at 8:57pm: Hello everyone. I'm a new member searching many lines in Pennsylvania, but one of my persistent "brick walls" is information on William Haines b. Sep 1847 and his wife Lydia (maiden name unknown) b. Jun 1852 in Pennsylvania. They were married in approximately 1880 and are enumerated in the 1900 and 1910 censuses in Harrisburg (Ward 7, in the "Allison Hill" area). Their children included: William, b. 3 Jul 1884; Jane B., b. Apr 1886; Annie L., b. Sep 1888; and Charles B., b. 4 Nov 1893 and died 4 Apr 1894 (age 5 months). Charles is buried in the Dauphin County Alms House cemetery. From what I can gather, they were very poor--William worked for a livery, Lydia worked as a laundress, and Jane was a domestic. William and Lydia are my gg-grandparents. Any information about my family would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
