Merle,
I am curious what line your Ulrich (m. Anna Maria BOHR) comes from. I
am listing my line from Christian (1707-1754) on down:

1Christian BURGHALTER/BURKHOLDER
b. 1708, Switzerland
d. 3/1754, Switzerland
m. 1737, Germany
Christine ELIZABETH (also known as "Mother B")
b. about 1710
d. 1789, Lancaster Co, PA

Christine sailed to Lancaster Co, PA, just following Christian's death
in 1754, with six children. My line, Ulrich, was the youngest of those
children:

2Ulrich BURKHOLDER
b. 2/1750, Switzerland
d. 1804, Bowmansville, PA
m. about 1778 (probably PA)
Ann (MUSSELMAN?)
b. about 1756

Ulrich and Ann had five children, of whom Christian is my line:

3Christian BURKHOLDER
b. 2/3/1783, Lancaster Co, PA
d. 12/29/1865, Berlin, Ontario, Canada
m. 5/20/1809, Lancaster Co, PA
Elisabeth BAUMAN (d/o Joseph & Mary BEAR BAUMAN)
b. 1788, Lancaster Co, PA
d. 9/18/1861, Bridgeport, Ontario, Canada

Christian and Elizabeth had six children in PA before migrating to
Waterloo, Ontario, Canada in 1818. Their eighth child was born in
Canada. Their son, Samuel (#5 child), is my line:

4Samuel BURKHOLDER
b. 1/2/1816, Bowmansville, Lancaster Co, PA
d. 3/12/1893, Canada, Marion Co, KS
m. 10/1845, Canada
Susannah DILLER (no issue)
m. 2/17/1850, Waterloo, Ontario, Canada
Eva REIS
b. 10/30/1819, Wurtemberg, Germany
d. 3/29/1893, Canada, Marion Co, KS

Samuel moved to Southern Ohio in 1837, only to return to Waterloo in
1840. Samuel and Eva moved to Marion Co, KS, in 1873. They were the
parents of six boys, of whom Ezra Reis BURKHOLDER was my great
grandfather:

5Ezra Reis BURKHOLDER
b. 11/14/1856, Waterloo, Ontario, Canada
d. 5/23/1923, McPherson, McPherson Co, KS
m. 6/18/1885, Hillsboro, Marion Co, KS
Vinnie Ream TUBBS (d/o Seth B.R. & Mary Catherine SEARS TUBBS)
b. 3/15/1866, Rome, Jefferson Co, WI
d. 6/8/1944, Cincinnati, OH (buried in McPherson, KS)

Ezra moved to Marion Co, KS, in 1883. Ezra & Vinnie's first eight
children were born in Hillsboro, Marion Co, KS, before they moved to
McPherson, KS, where their last two children were born. My granddad,
Clarence Dewey BURKHOLDER, was their sixth child.

I won't go on, because our connection would have to be earlier than my
granddad. Let me know where the connection is!
