Michael Brey
Well it turns out that Michael Brey’s daughter, Elizabeth Brey, wasn’t so elusive after all. We did have her parent’s names, so that’s always a plus (there’s nothing more annoying in genelogical research than an end of the line), and I found a great deal of information about her, her father Michael Brey, and her siblings from a Google book search!
I was able to get her siblings’ previously unknown names and birthdates from the History of Jerusalem Lutheran and Reformed Church of Western Salisbury. I must say, I have now found more than one genealogical treasure from Google Books and will definitely be using it often in my research!
I have found other Breys that were living in Northampton County (now Lehigh) and really want to do a site on the history of German immigrants in Pennsylvania… or maybe een a site where I can post ancestral data I find that may or may not be related to my family, but that I still want to have a record of… but if I’m going to do that it will have to be separate from this and from my genealogy wiki because it really doesn’t fit in either.
