Genealogy has become a hobby for me over the last 10 years. For me, it's like a puzzle, I love fitting the pieces together. But over the years, I've researched a lot that does not pertain to our family lines. Some for extended family, some for close friends, and some because I was trying to rule out lines to figure out where our line went exactly. I do not want these notes on my Heather's Genealogy Notes blog - because they are not our lines. But I do like to share all of my research, in case it benefits others. That is what this blog is for - research I have done that does not apply to our own family lines, but may be helpful for someone else.

=================================================================

History of Lehigh County Pennsylvania and a Genealogical and Biographical Record of its Families, vol. 3 Page 1095

Conrad Roth was a stone mason and lived in Saucon Township between Center Valley and Bingen. He was a memberof the Lutehran church and is burried at Limeport.  his wife was Miss Wise. They had these children:
Daniel who lives at Emaus
Charles W. who was a school teacher
Joel who lives in Kansas, and has a son, William Employed at the Bethlehem steel company
Catharine, Wife of Edward Shaffer, both deceased
and Mary, wife of Hendry Hook, of Friedensville

(obviously not "our" Conrad Roth, but citing here because he married a "Wise" and our Conrad married a "Weiss" - need to be sure not to confuse the two families.
