She sent me several family group sheets. I will see if I can scan them and e-mail them to you. What is your e-mail? You can e-mail me at WolfordConnection@aol.com
Phillip would be my 5th great grandfather. Most of my family ended up in Knox Co, OH. That is where my Burgers ended up and the Workmans also. Burgers from PA and Workmans from Maryland. Studebakers were and are Church of the Brethren from Germany a…
Hi Stephen - I'm not sure where this Martin name comes from. I have only seen Johannes in my research but others besides you have his name Martin. There was a Martin in Cocalico Twp, a son of Ludwig. John Phillip is my 4th grgrandfather he was marri…

Hi Stephen - thanks for your response. I have 19 different ways to spell Wolford. Johannes' will is spelled with "oo". My great Aunt Lizzie said her family in Centre and Clinton Co. PA spelled it Wohlford to differentiate them from other Wolfords. B…
When did the spelling on the last name change? I have on the ship register that it was Wolfert and then later in records it shows as Wohlfort. There is also an Anna Maria on the ship registry with no apparent last name.
A discussion group on the Wolford, Wohlford and various other spellings of this family name.
Peter - Success - The title of the chapter is "Is It Lost Forever?" Pages 178-194 in Fantastic Folklore and Fact published 1968 by Dodd, Mead. I sat here and re-read the story. I was thinking the hermit was also a giant, but had forgotten about the…
Peter - thanks for writing. I remember the story of that hermit. Didn't he burn his house down after he died thru use of lenses? Or am I confusing this with another story. I will look through my collection, but have to deal with another snow first.…

Kathryn Brannigan Walizer said… - No Jim, did not want to post reason on reg board, but I have an eye condition and the clutter in the test room jumbles my vision and the colors of names distract so that I cannot follow the print.I can follow the regular room print because it has a definite line to it and no distractions like the log in log out etc.and colors

- Thanks Jim. It was very interesting (I'm a big Ghosthunters fan). I have done the Pennsylvania Chats before - more of a lurker though. My husband's great grandfather and great uncle were at Gettysburg. There's a picture of the two of them there on the wall. But neither of them were killed there. They were from outside of Altoona in Three Springs.

Troi Shumaker said… - Jim,
At this point, I do not know if I am related to any of the Wolford's of Hampshire County, WV. I did go to school with quite a few of them though. Do you have Shoemaker, Shumaker, or Schumacher listed in your lineage? I would be happy to compare notes.

Helen Edith Pust said… - Hi Jim - It was snowing and quite cool yesterday here. I live in High River just south of Calgary, Alberta about 20 minutes. Because I just couldn't break a couple of roadblocks in the family, I decided to check out GW more. Usually I don't join a chat room but thought maybe I could find some one with same problems that they may have found a way out. There are times when a person looks so long at something but misses the answer that can be to simple. As it is Big Valley's 100th birthday coming up they have asked me to write about 3 different family I am a member of. Will try to check in tonight.

- Jim saw your post about putting names on photos I use Picasa to do that then save them and export to my documents from there it is easy to put them into files or just send to CD to burn them. If you don't have Picasa it is a free download from Google Picasa 3

- Sorry for the long delay, I have a Charles and Henry, who came from Germany directly to Illinois, as there was other family there, and believe there still is. But I know of no Bartels that settled in PA. My Bartels immigrated in 1870's, and moved/married into the Langhoff family just across the state line in Iowa. Do you have any connections there?

- My Wolfords are from WV - my maternal grandmother's maiden name is Wolford and I have her line back to the 1700's (John Wolford and Catherine Seidner (sp?). I also have a Wolford that appears to be unrelated (or maybe he is I dont know who his parents were so its hard to say) that comes in not on her fathers side but in her mothers side. His name is Armistead Thomas Mason Wolford.

I am not sure where there are connections but my mother is a descendant of a John Avery (. 1810 - 1887, d Whiteside Co, Illinois age 78). He had 7 children born in England and one of them was named Jim -died in 1912. There are still descendants living in that area. My family moved to Nebraska.
