1.  Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on September 24, 1734 to as all my Schwenkfelder ancestors who were their parents and grandparents, and, if possible, great grandparents (in broken German of course).

2.  Hunterdon County, New Jersey on 19 of Sept. 1818 to as Ranea Thatcher her full name and the details about her father, mother and grandparents.  Ditto for Jonathan Jonas Schiffert.

3. Nanticoke or Ashley, Luzerne County, Pennsylvania in 1880 to ask David Kinney about his parents and grandparents, on what ship did they arrive, and where in Ireland did they hail from.  Ditto for Margaret his wife, William Beatty, their son-in-law, and William Beatty, his father.

4.  Back to Philly on a day I have written down, but can't remember to ask Christian Metzger's wife all about her Hauser family.  A full book on Christian Metzger, but nothing on his wife.
