    Hi, I'm researching the Brillinger family who came from Pennsylvania to Ontario. Burkholders also came to Ontario and they intermarried with my Brillingers.

    Thanks. I'm actually a friend of Ruth's and we have shared notes. She is still alive and well. Was just trolling to see what might come up here, and to offer info I might have of interest to others on collateral lines.

    Wonderful !!! Please tell her I send my greetings and am glad to hear shes still active . We [ Ruth and I ] are both members of Burkholder Family Association . I have been working on my research for over 40 years now and still not finished and I'm only doing my direct line !  I can't even imaging hers and all the work she put into it . Anyhow , I'm glad to have helped . Love , JoAnn.
