new welty line?
Hi ...everyone seems to always be talking about three Welty brothers of whom all the welty's here decended from...however on my recent journies of cross-referencing things...I came acrosanother line of Welty's that did not emigrate here until around the 1840's or so...they are from Wirstenberg Germany and have several children listed as born in wirstenberg...this line is listed in the 1860 cencus in Alleghany County Pa.....there are other references to this wirstenberg origination in a family in 1860 census living in Dauphin County....
So it seems to me we ought to be loking to some of the other possible connections that we have overlooked before...unfortunately the copy on that Dauphin Group is very bad...almost unreadable in places...at least in the reels...maybe it would be easier to read in actual copy...
anyway for what it is worth I have begun to list every Welty I come across in Pa.....am looking thru ALL the census records and writing them down and cross-referencing things...seems to be shedding some light......Dori<3
