This database is posted as is, and I have no plans to expand its scope beyond those individuals directly related to North Annville Township. Some families were already well documented on the RootsWeb WorldConnect Project website. In the cases where my research would add no new information, I simply directed the researcher to those databases, rather than reproducing it here.
Keep in mind that this is a genealogy project and not a family history project. Other than my direct ancestors, I do not do research on family histories — their homes, lives, occupations, etc. — so please do not request “more information” about a particular individual. Everything I know about them is already posted online, along with my sources, so it’s doubtful that I could offer any more insight.
To offer additions, corrections or clarifications please use this Reply Box. If you’d like me to add your family, please include as much information as you know, such as maiden names, birth and death dates, names of siblings and spouses.
By default, the WorldConnect Project protects the privacy of anyone whose birth date falls after 1930 (the last published census) and who does not have a date of death recorded in the database. However, I will gladly hide or remove other individuals on request.

I love your website. I am just beginning mine and this makes me rethink everything. The stauffers also lived in annville in the 1800’s. I have made at least 2 trips there in search of information. Please contact me so that we can talk more. Thanks Terri Stauffer-Schmidt
Hello
My name is Valerie Long Bryan and like many others, I am tracing my ancestors. Thanks for your web site. I grew up in Hershey and found a reference to Morris S Long who was from Campbelltown. Many of the relatives lived in that area. Isaw a reference also to George Sherk working for Morris Long? I believe George may have the father of Emma Sherk who was Morris’ Mother. Perhaps George was a brother?
Thanks for your work!
Your website has been very helpful. I have made two trips to St. John’s Church. Actually, just returned from there today to take my father to see where his grandparents and great-grandparents are buried. His great grandfather, Peter F. Kuntz is buried there. It appears the Kuntz’ had been in the area for awhile but cannot find much information on them. I believe that Peter’s father was a John Henry Kuntz, Jr. (Koons). Any information you may have would be greatly appreciated. I am also considering visiting the Lebanon Historical Society. Thanks in advance for any info you may have.
Hello, I am also a descendant of Frederick Shaffner and was wondering where exactly the Ebenezer Cemetery you reference in the Finding Family section of your website is? The website is really great!! Lots of great information!!!
Where is exactly the old Hill Church and where are their records from the mid 1700’s kept. Thanks
Thanks, my family “David Fischer” immigrant from 1732 lived in that area till his death 1761 and his son Peter raised his children in the area, as far as I know some of this line still live in the area. I com from David’s Son George Fisher whom married Eliz. Conrad (Cundradt) in 1762 in the Hill Church, David owned land in the Bethel/Anville area starting in 1747 (I have the record from the court house) But David is very difficult to find information on. If you come across any information on this line of Fischers from the 1730-1760 (my George went to Va, now WV.) Please let me know. Thanks
What a great site! A distant PINKERTON relative is listed and I have a clarification for the John DEININGER, married to Isabella PINKERTON file. Isabella’s mother, Susan (nee Shadow) PINKERTON (wife of Joseph PINKERTON) married Emanuel RIFFERT. You had noted a confusion reading the name on Census Records. It is Riffert with an R. Thanks again for this great site.
I am a descendant of the Ensminger famiy. I would like to visit the cemeteries of my kin. Can you help me with directions or addresses to the old cemeteries in Annville? Thank you.
I am having problems finding somewhere/someone to do a little research for me in Annville. I am told that an Ezekiel J. Boring was christened on 23 May 1825 (age 7) Annville, Lebanon, PA. I assume this comes from a church record but need to find someone in the area to find that source for me and see if it identifies his parents. Any Help or direction would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
