Hi, my husband told me he discovered your response to my plea for help but had just sent a brief reply so that you would know we recognized your message. I am searching the Claar line and welcome all information. I do have lots of names, b. d. years, etc. but by no means all. I am really looking for family stories, locations of farms or homesteads, pictures, etc. I am relatively new at this research and realize there is alot out there but I don't really know how to get information of that sort, nor have I been able to make contact with a person who is researching my line. My 5G Grandfather was Johan Simon Claar, 4GGrandfather Frederick Claar, 3GGrandfather Jacob Claar, 2GGrandfather Michael Claar, GGrandmother Elizabeth Claar who married Joseph Henry Weyandt, Grandfather Frederick Michael Weyant who married Martha Ann Burkett. My Grandmother
s father was Joseph Burket and her mother was Eva Werrick. I know these family names are all around Bedford and Blair Counties but I have very little on Burket, or Weyant and no links at all for Werrick. Also, I don't have many links to families living today. Can you help me in any way? Anything would be appreciated. I don't know where you are in your research but I'll be happy to share information with you. You can reach me at
gandgg@hotmail.com. Are you located in the Bedford area? I hope to make a trip there next summer and would like to get organized enough to have a really productive research trip.
