ANDREW & MARY (REESE) FINDLEY:
These are the parents of my great grandma Anna Bertha Findley and at this point the only info that I have. The info is from a conversation that grandma and I had in Oct. 1986 and she thought it was funny that I would take notes because "who would care".
She did not know when Andrew and Mary married, who their parents were, or exactly what townships in southern Lancaster County they were from. She did remember bits and pieces about the other children (her aunts and uncles) which is what is below.
Children:
1. Martin - no other info
2. Anna Bertha (b. 1885 and d. 1953) married to Frank Yost Ressler
3. Elmer - the only thing she remembered about him was that he was a coal dealer
4. Edward - single, fought in WW1. Died by falling down an elevator shaft
5. David - single, fought in WW1. Died by suicide.
6. Clayton - died of lung trouble
7. Esther - married name was Reinhart. Died of hard work.
8. Joseph - farmer
9. Myrtle - "not quite right in the head". Died of old age (possibly earlier in 1986). Had an illegimate child by a man with the last name of Wiggins. Possibly married twice.
This genealogy blog came about because I inherited so many photos and documents from both my grandma and mother. Rather than keeping them to myself, I would like to share with others who may be looking for these same people. Names of Lancaster County, PA families that may be found here include: Applebach, Findley, Garner, Groff, Mosser/Musser, Musselman, Newpher, Ressler, Stover, Wolfe, Yost
