Dolores - I did an index for her book. I can't stand books that have
no index. Thanks anyway. I went to PA 4 yrs in a row looking for
info on my Christ line. Finally found some of it. My line was George
Christ who can 1710, went to Schoharie and then down to Tulpehocken
with Weiser. Can't find much about the immigrant, but did finally
find a record where he vouched for someone and is listed as servant
to Mrs. Schultz. So now I'm attempting to locate something about her.
So far I have only one child for him, and my best guess is there were
more.

I have over the years had GRASS inquiries but haven't followed them
too closely.

Thanks again. Margaret Calvin
