  • Added 28 Dec 2017 by Francis E. Berkey (Berkey-120) after finding Polly as an orphan wandering I decided to back up to her parents to see if her root system may be in need. I see that there is a little problem in the sibling and spouse names and so on. Having been there and done that on earlier occasions in other families I have found it to be very time consuming and best left to the professionals. I will do the best I can with Benjamin and go on from there. FEB

  • Personal family information both written and from family Bibles gathered over several years of travel and library research. Original edition The Berkey Book and also 2nd edition which has many Berkeys that I personally researched as well as Line 26 which is started with Orange Grove Berkey. This is as close as our branch comes but in Line 3 appears his younger sister, Catherine Winchester Berkey who married Joseph Hochstetler who is DJH-4263. This was actually a mistake on the part of the informant named Wade Miller whose mother was a Berkey and since Catherine was in the household of Jacob Berkey he thought she was his daughter but she was not. Many of my relatives are in Descendants of Jacob Hochstetler first published in 1912 by Rev. Harvey Hostetler, D.D. long before personal computers.
