Tammy,

Could you check to see if there are any Gerdom/Gerdon listed in your book. I am searching for Ernest & wife Anna(born 1820's?), Henry & Charles (born 1850's), Eugene(born 1890's) or any others.

Could you also check to see if any of the Joseph & Susannah Lawley (born early 1800's) family from Lykens is listed. They had 8 children that I know of; Susannah, Priscilla, Obediah (wife Lovinah, children, Frostey & John), Joseph (wife, Rosie and six children), Henrietta (husband, John Rowe and 10 children), William (wife Emma and three children), Ophelia (husband, Charles Gerdom and five children) and Thomas (wife Margaret and two children).

I know that there is a street in Lykens called Lawley street. I'm wondering if it was named after my ancestors.

Thank you for your offer do look ups.
