Would anyone have the disk listing the burials at Charles Evams. I would like to know all the Kreamer/Kraemer buried there. I already have all the Kramer burials from a few years ago.
Thanks - if some one can email them to me.

Uncle did later after Dad passed but did that on 23andMe. ?Uncle and Dad had same biological parents. ?Uncle passed a couple of years ago.
My guess on my John’s father would be Isaac Mertz, who was sheriff at Swineford , PA.?
But have more looking to do to confirm that. ?German’s seemed to like to use the name John/Johann a lot!!

As far as I know there is only one company testing yDNA and that is FamilyTreeDNA, although 23&ME does indicate the yDNA haplogroup according to my son in law's test results. If you had the testing done with another company, then you are probably out of luck unless there is another male, a brother or cousin that can be tested.?

Re: Millers In Berks County.

 

My Miller family settled in Windsor Township. Early spelling was Muller. George (sometimes as Jurg) married Margaretha LNU about 1753. and died about 1801. I believe he is buried at St. John's Cemetery in Hamburg. 4 sons & 1 daughter are mentioned in his will. Eldest son George (b1754)? is also buried at St Johns in Hamburg and married Susanna Alspach. 2nd son Phillip (b 1756) married Deborah Deysher. This is my line. 3rd son Jacob b 1758. 4th son John settled in Northumberland County. Only daughter Magdalena (b 1762) married George Keiser. Are any of these the family you are looking for. I have many more details and generations for all these brothers. MA Timmons

Thanks!
I’ll have to try that as long as can download Dad’s and Uncle’s since both have passed.
(I got my Dad’s dna results back on the very day he passed away-so that was bit bittersweet as he wondered where ancestral home was)

Thanks

?Mary,

Have you tried yDNA? I managed to narrow down my Davis search to a very small area thanks to yDNA. There are about a dozen of us out of thousands that match at 37 or more markers, and seven that have taken the BigY test.

Hi
Have you tried dna?
In my family,also from Berks County.. we had a John Mertz born 1801 in Swineford PA. ?With more than one John Mertz born around the same time period and in PA ,,it was really hard to figure out the patriarch. ?Especially since mine up and moved to Auglaize Ohio.
My Dad and Uncle both did dna tests. Another relative had been basically doing a study and gathering info from various Mertz lines documented and not ,trying ,to see if related using gedmatch. ?We were able to determine that my Mertz line by dna was part of the Berks County line. ?While we aren’t positive yet which son and his family are our line
We do know the patriarch so we know ancestral village, which is near Metz France currently but line considers self German. ?Haven’t had time to try to see if maternal matches to try to narrow it down that way .

I hope this makes some sense .
If it wasn’t for dna testing wouldn’t have gotten that far in figuring out our mystery even though we have a gap.(with large families and siblings marrying siblings in other families it gets bit more complicated)

Miller is a hard one, I know as I have a number in my lines too to figure out.

Good luck on finding your missing pieces (hope my experience will possibly help.)

I know that Sebastian and Anna Maria, sons live in western Berks Co.

The mystery; are John and Nicolas Miller related to my Miller family.? I have several incidence in my families where the family stayed together as they moved west.?? If John Miller is an X
cousin my Miller brothers, it would not be unheard of for the brothers to follow their cousin to Indiana.

Does any one have a puzzle piece that links these Miller families together?

Re: MILLERs in Windsor Twp.

 

Have subscribed to this years ago as my parents moved to Hamburg, Berks County. Family is originally from Schuylkill County so is there a group for Schuylkill County? Have run into stumbling block on Ancestry.

We’ve progressed through the Contributions to the next step and a search turns up responses, but when we click on the responses we get the 404 Error message, URL not found.? Working with Windows 10 here and the latest version of Chrome so I don’t think I’m out of date.

Under your link, at the bottom of the page printed in blue is the word "Contributions." I think it's also at the top of the page. That takes you right to the Archives where all the information can be found.


Re: new Berks County site

 

OK, I went to Books, I found the Montgomery volumes and there is no search engine. If I remember correctly the index provided is not an "every name" index, but an index of the first person only of each biography. I might as well go to my copies of the volumes and page through them by hand, hoping the name I'm looking for was the first person in the biography.
