From the biased memory of Cecil Stuerke
I've been a sinner since birth. The Creator God continues to provide. God so loved me too, that I am cleansed through Jesus's blood and righteousness. I couldn't at all even trust this story, except that the Holy Spirit has called me by his Word and enlightened me with the gift of faith. I am a monotheist - I acknowledge the One God - Father, Son and Holy Ghost.

You wrote "I Read Palatine Migration Project Reliable Sources as they say, it is " A work in progress".
My sourcing for Krehenbuhl etc is primarily web cites such as Janet and Robert Wolfe, who have cited records from Robert W. Davis. I think that Davis is probably one of the best sources available for Swiss/Palatine research. I believe that his work comes out of Church Books etc. My access only comes through his work and then through the work of Wolfe.
I hope to continue the Krehenbuhl line back a little farther with the aid of the Wolfe repeated data of Davis. I expect your automation will be sending me messages that try to help. I hope you won't be disappointed if I do not respond to them."
I am not a robot or anything automated. I took the time to point you to several help pages that explain reliable sources and the information that you need to include so that others can find the sources. Please take the time to review this guidance. There is no information on the profile that would lead me to the work of Wolfe or Davis, so it is impossible to determine if that might be a reliable source.
I have added you as trusted. it's okay for you to use the photos at my tree at Ancestry.

THANKS FOR UPDATING THE INFO ON THE WHITES. MY SISTER-IN-LAW'S MAIDEN IS LAMONTAGNE. How do you relate to the Lamontagne's? Her grandmother was a Goulet and was a descendant of one of The Chosen Ones in French Canada. Mary
My Francis Patrick Sparks [Pat] was [I think] the son of John Marion Sparks and Susan Southard. Pat was born 11 March, 1924. I don't have dates for John.
Are we talking about the same John Sparks?
I am quite intrigued over the question of Solomon being Lutheren rather than Quaker.

As for the pdfs, I spent a summer a few years ago scanning a history book that my great uncle had and I think I was able to share it with someone before. If you feel comfortable in doing so, private message me your email and I will try to send you it.
(Sorry if I am out of the loop with any new changes. I haven't done much on this site for a few years).
