Searching for any information on the Eli and Catharine Hamme Overdeer family, originally from York County, moved to Lancaster City by 1850 and had the following children: Algernon S, Horace J, Louisa, Sarah A, John J, George W and Eli Silas. The children apparently stayed in the Lancaster, York and Dauphin county areas. Eli Sr and Catharine both died in Lancaster County before 1900. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

RITZ, WISE posted by Carolyn on Friday, December 1, 2000

There have been RITZ's in Lancaster Co. Have been searching for my gr. gr. gr. grandfather, Solomon RITZ born ca 1785. He married in Washington Co., MD. to Mary WISE in 1808. They both died young leaving 3 orphaned children. Have been searching for the parents of Solomon. Suspect he and parents were residents of one of the PA. counties before moving to MD. If anyone researching RITZ has come across any wills or estate papers mentioning a Solomon and you dont' know what happened to him maybe he is my ancestor.
