Bio and Links
Bio Photo I am ever searching for my ancestors. Both our families are 12 generation Americans, some 13! Most German, Dutch and Native American. Surnames: Bechtel, Bechdel, Keffer, Keefer, DeHaas, Van Houten, Rohrbach ,Strouss, Houser, Lozier, Losier, Le Sueur Begraft, Slot. I have always been seeking their old headstones and cemeteries so I started "collecting" photos years ago. Now, I finally have a place to help people find those long lost graves. I am earnestly trying to photograph the numerous very old graves scattered about my area of Central Pennsylvania. Many a brave pioneer family headstone will be lost to ravages of time. I've been known to commit various acts of genealogy kindness. Willing to headstone hunt in Union, Snyder, Northumberland, Lycoming and parts of Centre Counties. Contact me with any ?s, corrections or requests. Presently trying to start getting all the churches to transcribe their records for better availability as well as historical document preservation techniques. Help is needed. If you see my name on a cemetery photo, then it is accessible to me and I may have more information, feel free to ask. IF I HAVE ENTERED OR PHOTOGRAPHED YOUR ANCESTORS, PLEASE write me, I can give you "ownership" of their memorial here! Follow the guidelines and I need the memorial # and your member number.

I am looking for information on the wife of Michael Hafer. I know that there is one female Hafer in the same cemetery, Matilda, but I thought she was the wife of Daniel, not Michael.

Dear Tom,
I appreciate your data…now I have used a copy of Guide to Cemeteries and Burial Grounds by Dale E. Berger….January, !995 1st edition to try to locate the cemetery for the Storm Family locale but this primary source does not account for it. If you do not mind would you please provide such information so I can place a flag and holder on-site ASAP!? Thank you ! Also I will take your data and make file and a grave registration page in our system to insure accountability each Memorial Day in the future to insure it is decorated appropriately !
Joel
