Good luck.

I have Swants in my family tree. I'm wondering whether your Edward Swant (married to Bertha May Ackley) could possibly be a nephew of my ancestor, Martin Swant, born about 1843. Do you know anything about Edward's parents?

Greetings,

I was interested to find three Brunner's that married into your Ritter/Baltimore family. I believe their parents were Dorothy (Volker) and Jacob Brunner. Could you verify that for me? If so, do you have anything on their children? I'd be happy to share what I have on the Volker family.

I show Louis Dan Brunner (son of Jacob & Dorothy), Jacob Brunner (son of Michael & Catherine Ruffridge Brunner), and Evalina Brunner (daughter of Michael & Catherine) marrying into this family. Please e-mail me privately for more information.

I got an email from you through Ancestry.com asking me to share information about Samuel A Ritter. I will gladly do that, however, I cannot figure out how to respond to that email. When I click on reply to this message it goes to Ancestry and tells me I cannot reply to it. Sooo, do you have any suggestions. Should I post my email address on here? Hope to hear from you.
