I see you have a reference to a michael ohl....
I'm a direct descendent, if this is the correct
michael... in my branch of the ohl family, the
"s" was added to the family name on 1-19-1860..
I have a good history of my branch...

Great to see a site working on the Peter(s) family. My great grandmother was Anna Peters (b1849). She decended from Casper III via John who left Heidelberg Twp for Hollenback Twp in Luzerne County, PA in about 1810.

Thanks for the help. I have some information on that branch of the family if it would be of any help.

My family has a Jonas H. Peters, b. 1821 who married a Jane Anne Gearhart.

I think these lines are related, but I don't have any of Jonas' family.

I connect into the Dewalt Peters family. I believe he was a cousin to the 3 "Peter" brothers. I do have a fair amount of info on this branch.
What town in Switzerland is Dewalt from? Where is Dewalt burried? He was married to Catharine Rex. Where is she burried/

Looking for early history of my family Peter(s) which moved from Pennsylvania(Bucks/Lehigh) to southeastern TN(then northwestern NC) around 1800. Known patriarch was Abraham Peter(s),St. born 1769. Does this line start in your area that you know of? Seems like I saw a ship's manifest one time that had a lot of Catarinas and Elizabeths as well as Jacobs, Abrahams and Johns.
Thanks,
Greg Peters

This is a great web site. I am a Peter thru the Caspar line. I was also wondering if you know where we could get the History of Peter Book or Desendents of Caspar Peters Book? Do you have any information on Rudolf Peter. Also there are alot of Peter in Fair Haven Cemetery in Mulberry IN. Another question is do you have a photo or know where Caspar is buried? Please and Thank you Tim

There is great information of the Peter Family from Urich Peter from Switzerland Son Casper Peter in The Lehigh County Historical Society Library. There is a Casper and Anna Elizabeth Ruebsam/Ribsam Book. I am trying to find out about Johannes or John Peter Born about 1752 and his wife Anna Marie.
