Well, my Elizabeth's maiden name was either Sniff or Pentive or Dentive - the spelling is probably incorrect. I know I have alot of German ancestors and the spelling of the names were changed, so open your search to other spellings. The Germans in my family changed their names/spelling and raised their kids to speak English, not German. Due to the Wars and escaping from German rule. My Elizabeth was supposed to be born in PA, but the census could be wrong too. Good Luck on your search. By the way, my Elizabeth died Oct 1908. Do you know what county in PA?
