Hello Bree and Welcome to the list.
I noticed in your message that you mentioned having Bretz in you list of
surnames. I also have Bretz. My 3rd Great Grandfather was Samuel Bretz
from PA. We're not really to sure which county, some say Cumberland some
say not, so it's a toss up. My 2nd Great Aunt though was married to Adam
Wagner from Dauphin Co., PA.
Hope you enjoy your ancestor search; before to long you'll start to feel
as if you've known them all your life.

Roberta
