Earliest known ancestor Hans (John) Hubner
He or she was from, and dates Laubgrund, Silesia
Comments:
Hans - b. c1684, d. 9/17/1754 Came to Pennsylvania in 1734

I was born exactly 150 years after my great, great, great grandfather, Abraham Heebner. b. 12/31/1797, d. 2/13/1868

My grandmother, Louise Heebner, kept records of the family along with a detailed crossing account of the 3rd migration of the Schwenkfelders on the "St. Andrew". They landed at Plymouth on 6/22/1734. They reached New Castle, Delaware on 9/21/1734.

I live in Wilmington, Delaware.

Found your great website today! My husband and I will soon visit the Schwenkfelder Library & Heritage Center close by in Pennsylvania.

He had an uncle names Amos Schultz, married Nora Kriebel, lived on Schultz Road, off Niantic Road, in Schultzville. I am looking for his father and that of his wife Nora. They lived on a farm with a gristmill. I visited this as a child and Nora made china in her kiln. I also would like to know where I might find the signed china.

Comments:
Trying to connect the Virginia Huntsberger/Huntsberry ancestor Jacob, and mother Margaret (relict of Henry Huntsberger)to the other Hunspergers in what was to be Franconia TWP after 1730. Jacob and his mother appeared in VA, he buying land in 1760. The Hunsperger Assn. can't help me connect either. If you ever come across a Heinrich Hundsberger or anything similar by 1760 in E. PA please contact me.

I like the will of clemens. Sounds like he or a friend knew something about will making in Germany.

His wife, Anna Barbar(a)supposedly come over with the Schultz in 1734. She was apparently the sister in law of Rev. Schultz. John Jacob came over in 1732 and brought at least one son with him. She brought at least three other children with her. She is supposedly buried in their cemetery. I would like to know more -- where is the cemetary or at least the records. I live in southeastern PA, so am seeking further info for research. Their descendants eventually moved to the Portland and Nazareth, PA areas.

My Hydrick genealogical "cousins" and I can only trace our lines back to a Jacob Hydrick in South Carolina. We have no success in going further. If it were possible to gain a link to the PA "Hydrick's", that would open a phletera of info (and new cousins). Even though I now live in Royersford, PA (around the corner from Schwenksville), I grew up in Mississippi. You have some good data on your site.

I have a lot of Pennsylvania Germans in my background. Hoping to make a connection with some of them in this book. They seem to have been multiple religions. I know I have Palatines. The Forrer family might have been from Scoharie, NY or came over in the 1720-30's. Might be a connection with the Ferree family. Everyone used flexible spelling.

I have in my genealogy an ancestor by the name of Anna Marie Knebel, born 1638 in Alsheim, Pfatz, Bavaria, she was married to Hans Konrad Kummell(Kimmel). He was born 1635 in Oppenheim, Rhine Hessen, Germ. He was a Bath owner & Barber at Alsheim.

I have not done the research on this, or proven this, but noticed the similar spelling of Rev. Reuban Kriebel of 1878.

I can't tell you how happy I was to see the reference to your website in RootsWeb Review today. I'm trying to switch from Family Tree Maker to TMG (I unfortunately lost my un-backed-up FTM data in a hard drive crash, so I'm re-inputting data). My primary reason for the switch was so that I could properly cite my sources, and I thought I was losing my mind when I started trying to reference my data, because it wasn't coming out "correctly". I am encouraged by your information and heartily thank you for sharing it!
