Dear Friends,

#FensterFreitag. This #house, at least the main part on the right, is over 300 years old. It's a rare "overhanging salt box" style. The house is owned by the local township, is nationally registered as an historic site, yet remains in disrepair. I'll speak up about it having just noticed what poor condition it is in.

Some other links with matches. Most of these are for your specific named people, some might not be exactly correct. ( #WikiTree is only as reliable as #Ancestry user trees, but it does provide some good hints and source names.)

For the #Palatines and any other early American #ancestors (pre-1850), always give Googling a try. Put the full name of a person in quotes, followed by phrases like "born 1710" or "Palatine" or "married Bob Smith" (OUTSIDE of the quotes). Be sure to try the many spelling variations for the early German names, one by one. Google doesn't use Soundex.
