Comments: I've had the Mt-DNA test done with FamilyTree, but don't know enough to comment or participate. It has been a mystery to me. You sent me a e-mail a long time ago(when the test results came back), inviting me to join. I'm held back, only by my lack of comprehension. The Y-DNA was easy, Mt-DNA is a blank for me.

Comments: Please do not forget the Palatine Germans who were on the first ships to Georgia. They are listed in, " A List of Early Settlers to Georgia" , copyright 1949, The University of Georgia Press, second printing 1967. They were with the first peoples to set up a colony in Georgia. Henry Bishop was schoolmaster at a school to teach them English in Georgia at Ebenezar in about 1734, he married a Palatine German there. He was given land by Col. Oglethorpe.

Comments: I am excited to find your website. I have been searching for my grandmothers heritage for years. The old folks are all gone now, including my father and I sooooo much want to get more info on their families. I do have the SS ODER'S roster when my grandmother and parents came to Ellis Island from Germany. She was born in Darmnstadt in 1880 I believe and How I loved her. She was 73 when she died and I was only 13 years old. I am now 68 and all my older relatives are gone. She was a Geisel and married a Ringler. The Geisel's (her parents) were one of the first settlers in Moxham, which is a suburb of Johnstown. Thank you for a wonderful website. Praise God for folks like you. I now live in Texas.

Comments: Fascinating project. I only wish I were male. However, it seems one of my ancestors took his surname from his mother anyway. My Kerchers are from Hampshire in England at least from the 18th century. It would be interesting to discover when they (most likely) emigrated from Germany to England.

Surnames of interest: RIBBLE
Comments: I am interested in knowing if there are still any family members with the last name of RIBBLE who are descended from Johann Georg Ribble who left Palantine Germany in 1797 journeyed to Sussex NJ and then they journeyed with a whole lot of other families towards Ontario Canada and some of the Ribble family went to PA and stayed there. This is my family tree of my GGma Eliza Ribble-Kelley who was born 1826 in Oakville (Halton County) Ontario Canada. I would be interested in knowing if the Ribble name is also under the UNITED EMPIRE LOYALISTS. I hope to get a website on both sides of my family tree and am quite interested in finding my RIBBLE side of the family tree. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Hope to hear from you soon with any help or suggestions.

Comments: Thanks for the wealth of information on your website. My ancestor was Jacob Christman (Christman's Mill, Macungie) and they are also in Solomon's Kirche churchyard, which I visited last year. My Reimers are from the Bangor/Johnsonville area. I am new to genealogy, but the bug has bitten! My mother's maiden name was also Miller, so it should be interesting tracing two lines of Millers. I had 5 years of German in high school and it's coming in handy now.

Comments: What a wonderful resource!! I spent hours trying to reconcile documents with the name Margaret on some and Rebecca on others until I found your nickname page, where, in the PA German tradition, Margaret and Rebecca can be interchanged. My ggg-grandmother, Margaret was born in Northumberland County in 1804 and some of the German Church records had her listed as Rebecca. With the help of your page, I can now consider the issue resolved. Thank you so much.

Comments: Recently discovered that my dad's (maternal side) are from Pennsylvania. They were either born and/or lived in Nocamixon Township, Bucks County, Schoenersville. The name Allen comes to mind through the confusing research. Powell and Kerkhoff, my ???? removed grandparent(s), may have been born in New Jersey or a parent born there. I am sure all of the surnames aforementioned are from Germany, and they spent their entire life there. My dad's father was second generation from Germany. My mom's side, yes some German too! But we're also proud Lakota Sioux/Cheyenne and a bit of French. This is a very cool website! ~Babette

Comments: Interesting site. My Y-DNA results became available three weeks ago and now I have found a 24/25 match with a Mouse line, previously Mauss from Germany that came through Pennsylvania from Hornbach, Germany to Virginia, now West Virginia. What makes this interesting is that a specific person in the WV line could be my GGGGGGrandfather who was killed in the French & Indian Wars in April of 1758, but we never know who he was. My test results came in as an I haplogroup and my sub-clade results should be available in another couple weeks.

Comments: Born and raised in Center Valley/Emmaus. My grandfather Paul l. Frederick's middle name was his mother's maiden name, which was Laudenslager( not sure of the correct spelling). I find your studies facinating and would love to talk to any possible relatives. Thanks in advance

Surnames of interest: DEVOLLD
Comments: We are trying to determine the nationality of the DEVOLLD family, who migrated from Pensylvania to Noble (Morgan) County OH around 1800. Were they Flemish? Does anyone know what part of PA they came from, or when they immigrated to the US?
