My mother, Arlene Militello Siffringer, died eight years ago. She was adopted, and her birth name was Sharon Jeanne Yeisley. Her father's name, listed on her birth certificate, was John Yeisley, age 28 (as of 5-27-43), born in Wilkes-Barre, PA. I'm looking for ANY information on John. Thank you!

I'm descended from a Nichlaus Yeisley who emigrated to America in 1750. I'm told that all Yeisleys in the US descended from him. I am in touch with a Carl Yeisley who has a lot of info on the Yeisleys. His e-mail is carlwy@aol.com. Good luck! We could be cousins - let me know. bsvaldez@msn.com

Becky,
Thanks for your message. I contacted Carl Yeisley, but haven't heard back. Interestingly, I wrote to the Social Security Admin. to get the original SS apps for the 2 John Yeisleys that fit the description/time frame of my mother's natural father. John Stanley Yeisley appears to be the man-- born in Wilkes Barre, PA, 12-26-13. However, a twist-- along with his original app was an "Employee's Request for Change in Records" form, in which, on 9-27-40, he changes his name to JS Yeisley FROM John Stanley Emerson. In the "reason" section, it states: "to correct last name- was using name of (illegible) parents." I'm stuck! His mother's maiden name, listed on BOTH forms, is Clara Ellen Brodhead. Any help would be appreciated! On the original, his father is listed as Harry Charles Emerson. On the change, his father is listed as Gilbert Yeisley. Thanks!

After reading your message #6 I searched my copy of the Yeisley family tree written by Carl W. Yeisley. Have you received a copy of this?

On page 7-16 I found Clara E. Brodhead listed as wife of Gilbert S. Yeisley. Gilbert's obituary says they had only one son, Gilbert J., who died in childhood. Their daughter, Mrs. Ruth Y. Kramer was still living at the time of Gilberts death, Oct. 19, 1959.

Gail , my father Edmund Yeisley received several big boxes after his mother and father passed away that I didn't know he had until this weekend. We are about to go through them and thought that the book you mentioned might help us identify some of the people. Some are dated late 1700s. Where can I get a copy ? Thanks
