Hey y'all...just wanted to say thanks for your help (direct or indirect) as I muddled throught this, especially to Victor, who helped me connect my line with Jacob 1709. I've now got about 625 folks in this here tree...mostly from the Reading /Berks, PA area, but some in OH/WI as well..

My line, if it helps anyone:

Me b.1970
James David b:1946 d:1974
James Charles b:1924 d:1997
James H. b:1900 d:1976
Charles H. b:1875 d: bef 1920?
Hiram Daniel b:1845 d:?
Daniel O. b:1815 d:?
Wilhelm (2nd) b:1791 d:1861
Johannes b:1753 d:1829
Jacob b:1709 d:1782


As always, there are plenty of holes to fill, and I'm always willing to share what I've found...although I imagine y'all have gone over what I can find online with a fine toothed comb already.

Anyway, Thanks.
