Research Notes

Added 23 Jan 2018 by Francis E. Berkey (Berkey-120) having noticed there was a possibility of making a little straightening up of Henry's information by the use of Gingerich & Kreider's research efforts I decided to make Henry's family my efforts for the day. I started by doing a merge of Hochstetler-346 into -51 this Henry which eliminated a duplicate. Now I will see how it all goes from here. I think I'll get the wives in the proper order with Barbara Schrock #1 & Sarah Yoder (who is how I got here in the 1st place) as #2. Henry is AKA HS18+. 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.
