Help with a mind boggling problem.

Question

Instead of explaining the details of a problem that is causing a huge headache, that spans across two different genealogy sites, one is not Ancestry. Would someone PLEASE find some  sources for Levi Knecht Born 20 Aug 1825 • Greensburg, Westmoreland, Pennsylvania, United States  to Frederick Knecht and I believe Susan Smith. He married (unknown date) Christine Panzer born  about 1829 to Peter Panzer and Catherine Unknown I know this is a lot to ask but the problem I have ran into  just isn't worth the Headache, It is much appreciated and Thanks in advance because I do not have much hair to pull out :o) anymore.

How nice of you to configure the sources so they can be cut and paste.

Thank you for all the work that you have done. All neat and tidy. something that I still cannot do.

You're welcome! You'll get it Jerry! It just takes some practice. The ones above are just copy and past from Family Search.

Answer 2
