THE RUDOLPH MEYERS
Sharon R.contacted me about a dating error in the June SurnameRoll #16. Unfortunately, there is no realistic way to correct it. Since it concerned a Rudolph Meyer, and I have quite a bit of information on the family, I extracted and condensed some of it for the group. If you have information on this Meyer Family, I would be happy to share. I anticipate finishing the main input in a month or so of the material I have on hand.
There were a number of Rudolphs all in the same family. R
Lisa,
This may not help you with your genealogical research, but it will
explain the origin of a name you mention in your query. Alkana is a
variant spelling for an old Hebrew name, Elkanah (Exodus 6:24). The
father of the prophet Samuel was named Elkanah (I Samuel 1:1).
In the 16th-18th Centuries Protestant Christians emphasized becoming
acquainted with the Holy Scriptures and this carried over into the
naming of their children. Those who were especially devout scoured the
Scriptures for names to use. In

The Berks Historical Society has books of obits from (I believe) the Reading Adler which have helped me with the years in between.
I would like to find an obit that occured in 1844 in Reading, PA.
I believe this date falls between the ending coverage of the Reading Adler newspaper and the beginning of the Reading Eagle & Times.
Any other possibilities?
Re the stuck picture...would suggest you phone
a local museum of art, history or photography and ask
the curator for his/her best advice regarding both the
stickyness and a recommendation for a photographer.
If these resources do not exist in your community, the
archive of the local university my be able to provide you with i\
information on the best way to unstick a photo.
In addition, I'd suggest you call not one, but several photographers,
about reshooting the photo.

Hello Betty,
I have a question for you regarding German.
>From an old church record my ancestor in Berks co. was listed as born in
Braunschweigirthen, Germany. Upon researching Germany for this town all
I could find was the town of Braunschweig. Then what is the purpose of
the ending irthen? Does it mean born in?
Thank You,

I apologize for doing this, but I am getting SO little mail from Rootsweb
the past couple of days, that I wanted to see if a select few would come

I agree with Herb and a few others regarding the price of Ancestry.com and
other sites that charge. Twice I have signed up for their services and have
not found anything of help regarding my ancestors. Guess I have learned my
lesson. Now they charge for each area of search, census, vital records,
etc., are all separate. It makes it much harder for those of us on limited
income to continue researching on line. I know longer drive so I depend a
lot on my computer for research. I don't mind sites ch
Hi All,
My apologies to those folks whose names did not get published. I work on the weekend and therefore was doing the roll Friday night. While I was working on it, my power went off three different times. I did not notice any deletions, but all except one set of names was in the raw data that I used to create the roll. Therefore, I must assume that the outages caused some deletions of which I was unaware. Here are the missing items and they are being put on the roll for anyone that wants the comple

I'm looking for information regarding my grandfather Benjamin Franklin SPATZ Sr. He was born in PA in 1868-69 and died, probably in Beloit, Mitchell Co., KS between 1955-65.
His parents were both born in PA. Their names may have been Conrad and Mary. Benjamin may have had sisters named Ellen and Amanda and brothers named Reilly and Samuel.
Benjamin married a woman named Elizabeth sometime between 1890-1893. She was born in 1874-75 in Indiana. Her father was born in Indiana. Her mother was born in OH.

The researcher was becoming frustrated by her inability to
discover the maiden name of her ancestor Mary, the wife of
Anthony KELLER.
"All I have been able to find out," she lamented on a surname

miserable for Mary's two boys that they were forced to go back
to Ohio to live with their
