I can't believe that my maternal grandmother's line goes back to 1500 Germany. They all came from Germany. A small little town close to the Belgium/France border called Birkenfeld, Rheinland-Pfalz, Germany . Johannes Pontius arrived in Pennsylvania in 1738 with his mother, Rosina Catharina Hauch. I want to take some time and map out their journey.
On the Nailer side of my mother, my aunt Joyce sent me a link to a patent that my grandfather, Oliver Nailer, owned. He invented an improvement to the folding crib and rocking cradle. http://www.google.com/patents/about?id=TtheAAAAEBAJ&dq=Oliver+Nailer
It's kinda neat.
